Welcome to the Istari Digital® Internet of Physics™ Platform

Istari Digital redefines how aerospace and defense teams manage, collaborate on, and automate complex engineering data—without sacrificing control, security, or flexibility.

Core Capabilities​

Unified Data Foundation​

  • Universal Identity: Every file—whether uploaded (stored in your data plane, e.g., S3, Azure) or connected (referenced from third-party apps like Google Drive, Microsoft 365, or Windchill)—receives a unique, immutable UUID (Universally Unique Identifier).
    • Traceability: Track the file’s lifecycle, versions, and lineage across teams and supply chains.
    • Auditability: Maintain a tamper-proof record of access, modifications, and sharing.
    • Interoperability: Seamlessly reference, share, and process files across tools and organizations—without silos or duplication.
  • Data Sovereignty: Your files stay in your infrastructure, while Istari provides a unified layer for collaboration, automation, and compliance.

Open Data, Zero Lock-In​

  • Break Free from Proprietary Silos: Convert closed models into open, actionable data—usable in digital threads, automation, and AI-driven workflows.
  • Your Data, Your Rules: Retain full ownership and control. Istari never locks you into its ecosystem; your data remains portable and accessible via open APIs and standards.
  • Digital Thread Ready: Connect models, simulations, and workflows across tools (e.g., Cameo, MATLAB, 3DX) to create end-to-end traceability and automation.

Enterprise-Grade Security and Compliance​

  • Granular Access Control: Define permissions at the file, system, or organizational level using roles (Viewer, Editor, Admin) and control tags (e.g., "Classified," "Project-X").
  • Infosec Levels: Apply classification schemes (e.g., DOD standards) to files, artifacts, and systems for regulated environments.
  • Audit Trails: Every action—from file access to job execution—is logged and auditable, ensuring compliance with ITAR, CMMC, or internal policies.

Automation and Digital Threads​

  • Agent-Driven Workflows: The Istari Digital Agent executes functions (e.g., extraction, simulation) in your network, ensuring data never leaves your control.
    • Run functions (e.g., CAD extraction, compliance checks) on-demand or as part of automated pipelines.
    • Integrate with AI/ML models via the MCP Service for advanced analytics.
  • Digital Threads: Link models, simulations, and results across the lifecycle—from design to certification—to enable real-time collaboration and automated compliance.

Versioning and Collaboration​

  • Snapshots and Baselines: Capture immutable states of your systems (e.g., "Design Review Baseline") to track progress, compare revisions, and revert if needed.
  • System-Level Collaboration: Group related models/artifacts into configurations, then share consistent snapshots with teams or suppliers—without emailing files.
  • Diff Tools: Visually compare snapshots to identify changes, conflicts, or progress.

Extensibility and Integration​

  • SDK and APIs: Build custom workflows, integrate with existing tools, or extend functionality using the Istari SDK.
  • Plug-and-Play Modules: Add support for new tools (e.g., CAD, simulation) via modules installed on your Agent.
  • AI/ML Integration: Connect to the MCP Service to embed AI-driven insights into your workflows.

Why This Matters​

The Istari Digital Platform doesn’t just manage files—it transforms how teams work together in regulated, multi-tool environments:

  • For Engineers: Focus on innovation, not file management or tool silos.
  • For Program Managers: Gain real-time visibility into progress, risks, and compliance.
  • For IT/Security Teams: Enforce policies, audit access, and protect IP—without blocking collaboration.
