About Accuris Thread
Accuris Thread is a cloud-based requirements management solution that automatically identifies, extracts, and enriches requirements from engineering content - including standards, codes, design guides, and internal specifications. It packages those requirements for seamless integration into product lifecycle management, requirements management, and digital modelling tools, preserving full traceability back to the source material.
Thread is used by engineering organisations across aerospace and defence, manufacturing, medical devices, and energy to reduce the time and risk involved in requirements decomposition - cutting what was once days of manual work down to minutes, with a 90% accuracy rate in requirements identification. It connects data and models across the entire engineering lifecycle, enabling better collaboration, change management, and end-to-end traceability.
