PLM & MBSE Digital Thread & Twin Backbone

SCICUS International

SCICUS establishes and governs PLM and MBSE as the digital backbone for long-life and mission-critical programmes. We define how product lifecycle data and system models form the authoritative foundation for engineering execution, enabling Digital Thread and Digital Twin capabilities across design, simulation, manufacturing, and sustainment. This backbone ensures lifecycle continuity, traceability, and controlled execution throughout the programme lifecycle.

PLM and MBSE Backbone Enablement

  1. Programme-Specific Backbone Architecture: Every programme has unique lifecycle, security, and traceability requirements. SCICUS defines programme-specific PLM and MBSE backbone architectures that establish how requirements, designs, configurations, and changes are controlled across the programme lifecycle.
  2. Digital Thread Enablement: SCICUS governs how data flows between PLM, MBSE, CAD, CAE, manufacturing, and operational systems through a controlled Digital Thread. This ensures that engineering information remains connected, traceable, and auditable from requirement definition through production and sustainment.
  3. Digital Twin Support Framework: SCICUS defines how Digital Twin concepts are supported by the PLM and MBSE backbone, enabling digital representations of products, systems, and processes for validation, simulation, and lifecycle analysis within a governed programme framework.
  4. Neutral and Tool-Agnostic Backbone Governance: SCICUS does not act as a PLM product reseller or conventional system integrator. Instead, SCICUS governs how approved OEM tools are configured, integrated, and operated within a secure and neutral programme architecture, ensuring consistency, auditability, and long-term usability.

Backbone Excellence

  1. Lifecycle Governance and Configuration Control: SCICUS enforces structured governance across PLM and MBSE environments to ensure configuration integrity, controlled change management, and compliance with programme policies.
  2. Secure and Sovereign Data Control: Backbone architectures are designed for sovereign, on-premises, and air-gapped environments where required, ensuring that data ownership and access remain under programme authority.
  3. Validation and Traceability Assurance: SCICUS ensures that backbone implementations support full lifecycle traceability and validation, enabling confident decision-making and programme oversight.

SCICUS enables PLM and MBSE as a governed digital backbone—connecting engineering, manufacturing, and sustainment through Digital Thread and Digital Twin under programme authority.
