“…Furthermore, the digital thread empowers the digital twin to analyze the system's lifecycle, integrate components, and establish connections with external systems within the manufacturing supply chain [34]. In [12], the digital thread is characterized as the interaction of data and information between the physical and virtual domains within the digital twin framework, encompassing the entire product and value lifecycle. It drives the real-time evolution of the digital twin model, facilitating bidirectional data flow through all data channels, as depicted in Figure 5.…”

“…However, existing development methods for digital twins lack interoperability across different abstraction levels [11], primarily focusing on individual objects and lacking modeling approaches for the entire lifecycle and multiple objects. This limitation hampers the exploration and utilization of data related to various aspects of products [12]. In contrast, research on the digital thread is less extensive.…”

The digital thread, as a crucial technology for industrial digitization and the realization of smart manufacturing, has garnered extensive attention and research in recent years. Furthermore, there is a growing interest in the key technologies supporting the implementation of the digital thread. Given the diversity of product lifecycle models, various definitions, reference architectures, and implementation methods have been proposed to study the digital thread. Thus, this study systematically investigates the current definition, key technologies, and applications of the digital thread. A comprehensive analysis of 94 articles spanning from 2015 to 2023 was conducted, clarifying the definition of the digital thread and its relationship with related terms. Building upon this foundation, this study delves into the research methodologies concerning pivotal technologies in implementing the digital thread (such as authoritative sources of truth, data linkage, and model integration) and scrutinizes various application scenarios of the digital thread, providing a comprehensive summary. Finally, this study presents the research findings along with recommendations for future research endeavors.
