Abstract
The aim of this research is to provide an example of the importance that integrated Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Manufacturing Operation Management (MOM) systems have in realizing the Digital Manufacturing. The research first examines what the Digital Manufacturing involves and then identifies Digital Twin and the related Digital Thread as key elements. PLM and MOM solutions support the Digital Twin and the Digital Thread allowing the exchange of product-related information between the digital manufacturing model and the physical manufacturing execution. A Digital Twin of a wing box and its assembly process is created in PLM by building the bill of material and bill of process. Then it is shown how in MOM system the production phase is facilitated by managing production operations, advanced scheduling and supporting the execution of the processes and how the analysis of the manufacturing performance is possible. The result integrating these systems is to have the right information at the right place at the right time along with the related benefits in terms of costs, time and quality. The activity has been developed in Siemens Industry Software under the European Project AirGreen 2, an integrated research action of the REG IADP (Regional Innovative Aircraft Demonstration Platform) part of the Joint Technical Programme, the steering and coordination of LEONARDO Aircraft. The AirGreen 2 project is an Innovation Action funded by the Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under Grant Agreement N°807089 REG IADP).

The aim of this research is to provide an example of the importance that integrated Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Manufacturing Operation Management (MOM) systems have in realizing the Digital Manufacturing
The aim of this paper is to introduce an innovative system to bridge the vertical integration gap between the engineering and manufacturing domains leading to an integrated production management system, which includes Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Manufacturing Operation Management (MOM)
In the Siemens PLM solution (Teamcenter) the bill of material (BOM) of the wing box as well as the bill of process (BOP) related both to the machining process and to the wing box assembly have been built
Summary
In this competitive scenario, manufacturing companies perform by using up-to-date information to progressively remove delays to the management and execution of its critical business processes. They need to monitor their value-creation processes controlling both the internal (e.g. scheduling flexibility) and external events (e.g. customization and volume flexibility) in order to maintain their competitive advantage [1]. Companies should define and optimize manufacturing processes, manage data and encourage collaboration between different types of engineers by incorporating both digital and product definitions. Bringing together the digital twin and thread, it is possible to create a collaborative, connected information loop, the so – called closed loop manufacturing (CLM). CLM enables companies to synchronize and optimize production across product design, production planning, manufacturing execution, automation and intelligence from consumer use in the field
