Digital Thread vs. Digital Twin: What’s the Difference and Why It Matters in Manufacturing
Digital Thread vs. Digital Twin: What’s the Difference and Why It Matters in Manufacturing As digital transformation reshapes the manufacturing world, two buzzwords consistently surface: Digital Thread and Digital Twin. While they sound similar and are often used interchangeably, they represent distinct — but complementary — concepts. Understanding the difference is more than semantics; it’s essential to unlocking the full potential of modern smart manufacturing. What is a Digital Twin? A Digital Twin
The Cold Chain Crisis: How Pharma Companies Can Prevent Spoilage and Loss
The Cold Chain Crisis: How Pharma Companies Can Prevent Spoilage and Loss Pharmaceutical supply chains are under more scrutiny than ever before. Among the most fragile elements is the cold chain: a temperature-controlled logistics process critical to preserving the efficacy of vaccines, biologics, cell and gene therapies, and other temperature-sensitive drugs. As global demand for high-value biologics surges, so too does the complexity of ensuring these products arrive safely, uncompromised, and compliant with
How RTLS Is Driving Transformation in Aerospace and Automotive Manufacturing
How RTLS Is Driving Transformation in Aerospace and Automotive Manufacturing In an era defined by complexity, customization, and pressure for efficiency, aerospace and automotive manufacturers are facing unprecedented challenges. From managing high-value assets and tooling to orchestrating increasingly flexible production lines, traditional tracking and coordination methods are no longer fit for purpose. That’s why manufacturers across both industries are turning to Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) — and to Ubisense — to gain a
How AI and RTLS Are Transforming Pharma Manufacturing Compliance
How AI and RTLS Are Transforming Pharma Manufacturing Compliance Pharmaceutical manufacturers operate in one of the most highly regulated industries, where compliance with FDA, EMA, GxP, and GMP standards is non-negotiable. The complexity of modern pharma production—especially with the rise of biologics, personalized medicine, and advanced therapies—requires unprecedented levels of traceability and automation. At the same time, manufacturers must balance compliance with operational efficiency, supply chain resilience, and cost control. This is where
