Creating a digital thread

Taking place Tuesday, February 28, 2023 at 12PM ET, this comprehensive Webinar, Part I of a three-part series, focuses on how to maximize data reuse and increase speed to market while mitigating risk in product design. Learn how to transform information into data and integrate requirements, risk management and testing by creating a digital thread from design inputs through transfer to manufacturing. Visualize how to manage risk holistically throughout the design process.

This webinar will feature use cases and examples that emphasize how the design excellence digital thread has the potential to transform how manufacturers design medical devices, identify and mitigate risk and how they interact with regulatory agencies. 

Attend this three-part webinar series and learn how you could increase speed to market, improve design transfer and integrate risk management across the Total Product Lifecycle:

• Use simulation to derive evidence for verification and validation activities
• Integrate, visualize and communicate requirement, risk and test strategy
• Improve submission timelines
• Improve transfer to manufacturing
• Simplify engineering change controls
• Set the stage for Closed Loop Digital Quality
• Set the stage for error proofing Design Transfer
