IPE and IPA's: An Integrated Product Engineering (IPE) Discussion

Connect engineering work.
See change impacts earlier.

Explore how software, hardware, electrical, and mechanical teams can stay aligned as products become more complex.

Your teams are connected. Is their work?

Engineers shouldn’t have to chase changes across drawings, calculations, test plans, and spreadsheets. Software and hardware work often happens in disconnected environments, making it harder to keep teams aligned. When requirements or components change, manually tracking the impact can be error-prone. Missed connections may surface only at integration, when fixes are costly and schedules are already under pressure.

Find integration problems before they cost you the launch.

Join EAC and PTC to explore how teams can connect engineering work and identify change impacts earlier.

Application lifecycle management (ALM) connects requirements to the work, changes, and tests used to fulfill them.
Integrated product engineering (IPE) brings that visibility across hardware, software, and electrical teams.

Systems engineering adds a view of how the product is intended to behave, how its parts interact, and how requirements connect to system elements. Built on product data foundations such as PLM, ALM, and simulation, this view can help teams trace changes and understand their downstream effects.

Explore how PTC brings Codebeamer, Windchill, and systems engineering together in an integrated, connected approach few providers can match.

From nearly a month to about a week

Hear how a leading agricultural machinery manufacturer used Codebeamer to keep teams aligned and reduce its field delivery and debugging period from nearly a month to about a week.

When launch timing is at stake

Explore the challenges a major EV manufacturer faced coordinating complex physical, electrical, and software systems against a product release schedule.

Hear customer stories, see how connected requirements and traceability can reveal downstream impacts earlier, and get an expert-led look at how Codebeamer, Windchill, and systems engineering work together across product development.

Bring back a practical framework for spotting where disconnected processes may be driving rework or putting your launch at risk.
