Design Optimization:

• Early analysis of 3D models created from the drawings allows for identifying potential wear points or design flaws. This facilitates design modifications for improved performance and durability.

• Predictive Maintenance: Dimensional and tolerance information from the drawings can be linked to sensor data to predict potential equipment failures. This enables proactive maintenance scheduling, minimizing downtime and ensuring smooth operation.

• Configuration Management: The digital thread facilitates tracking changes made to the drawings throughout a product's life. This ensures technicians have access to the most recent and accurate information for maintenance and repair activities.

• End-of-Life Considerations: Information from the drawings can be used for disassembly planning and component reuse or recycling, promoting sustainable practices and resource efficiency.
