AI-powered digital thread orchestration

Unlike traditional point-to-point integrations, Hikari CortexFlow is an AI-native digital thread orchestration platform that connects enterprise systems into a unified digital continuity layer. It is built for engineering and manufacturing organizations that need traceability from requirements and design through production and field performance.

Connected systems

MBSE, ALM, PLM, MES, IoT, ERP, and other enterprise systems — including digital twin platforms — can participate in the same thread instead of remaining in silos.

Core platform capabilities

  • Digital thread
  • Knowledge graph
  • Workflow orchestration
  • Generative AI for intelligent, self-configuring ecosystems
  • AI-assisted low-code / no-code configuration
  • Rapid definition of data mappings, business rules, and traceability relationships
  • Cross-system workflows without complex custom coding

What organizations can achieve

  • Create end-to-end digital thread workflows without coding, reducing implementation time and integration costs
  • Automatically discover and map relationships between requirements, system models, software components, product structures, manufacturing processes, quality records, and operational data
  • Orchestrate data exchange across MBSE, ALM, PLM, MES, ERP, IoT, and digital twin platforms through AI-generated workflows and reusable connectors
  • Establish a unified semantic data model that preserves context and traceability across the product lifecycle
  • Enable AI-driven process automation, where digital agents monitor, validate, enrich, and synchronize information across systems
  • Accelerate engineering change propagation by identifying impacted requirements, designs, software releases, manufacturing processes, test cases, and quality plans
  • Provide conversational access to enterprise knowledge so teams can query the digital thread using natural language

AI value

With Hikari CortexFlow, digital thread moves beyond simple traceability and becomes an intelligent decision-making platform. AI agents can generate system-to-system integration workflows, configure data exchange pipelines using natural language, identify missing traceability links, execute change impact analysis, recommend corrective actions, and close the loop from field performance back to engineering and manufacturing.
