R&D and industrial engineering teams may easily speed up, track, and integrate product development thanks to unique work thread collaboration.
This new solution combines communication and project management technologies into a completely new work thread collaboration suite, delivering significant digital thread capabilities. With more fluid operations required by today’s increasingly remote contexts, Authentise Threads assists in transforming R&D and industrial engineering teams into innovation engines.
“Despite the talk about the need to be more agile, it’s clear that there is a relative lack of software solutions available today to support R&D, industrial engineering, and manufacturing to actually accomplish this,” says Andre Wegner, CEO of Authentise. There is no reason we cannot apply similar techniques to those pioneered in software and operate at digital development speeds if the definition and simulation of a product and a process are both digital.
Key capabilities offered by Authentise Threads, which complements current engineering and project management systems, include:
- Cross-Functional Work Thread Collaboration. Create, search, follow & link shared work threads across engineering teams and partners with real-time structured communication, chat & notifications.
- Shared information, knowledge, experience, resources, and context. A shared repository of all the key data, resources, goals, and metrics needed for work thread execution
- Collaborative Digital Decision Making. Formally track and manage work thread efforts, insights, actions, decisions, resolutions, and more.
- Continuous learning & improvement. Share the full history & traceability of work, discussions, issues, decisions, actions, and metrics, all with full context.
Authentise Threads provides results right away. In less than 30 minutes, the R&D department of a top surgical robots business was operational. Within two weeks, they were saving 150 hours and 20 meetings across a distributed team with outside partners, experiencing a 1.5x ROI on their investment, and tracking 100% of their R&D decisions digitally. Their team’s actual size was doubled.
Amit Visrolia, Chief of Digital Engineering for the National Composite Centre (NCC), one of 90 organizations whose input helped to shape Threads, stated that “Authentise Threads offers us a place for individuals to communicate and for data to be connected. Decision-making processes and their context are recorded with Threads, which is essential for our capacity to show certification. Essentially, with Threads, we have a people and communication work chain”.
“Authentise has delivered the digital thread to the world’s most agile production settings,” claims Andre Wegner. “It only makes sense that we expand this capability to facilitate the streamlining of R&D. Authentise Threads strikes a compromise between the real-time collaboration’s flexibility and the structure required for successful engineering operations. With it, Authentise achieves its goal of assisting businesses in tracking, empowering, and integrating the idea-to-part process digitally.
