The Intelligent Product Lifecycle facilitates digital transformation by building structured product data foundations in engineering and extending the value of that data across the enterprise. These product data foundations also become the backbone of AI-driven transformation across the business.
The Intelligent Product Lifecycle begins in your engineering department. The product data that powers the rest of your enterprise is created here – defining your hardware, software, and systems requirements, selecting your product’s materials, designing your 3D CAD models, developing your bills of material, and so on.
LEAP Australia is the leading engineering software solutions provider in Australia and New Zealand, for over 20 years we have assisted thousands of companies with their design and engineering problems.
LEAP’s support team has unrivaled expertise with PTC software, covering Computer Aided Design (CAD), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Service Lifecycle Management (SLM), Augmented Reality (AR) and Internet of Things (IoT). Our expertise enables process transformation and delivers closed-loop lifecycle management for smart, connected products and operations across your entire enterprise: from engineering to manufacturing, sales through to service.
Engineers spend a surprising amount of time keeping information consistent. When a requirement changes, then someone has to work out which calculations, drawings and test plans are affected. It is engineering work, but it’s manual, easy to get wrong, and hard to trace afterwards. Model Based Systems Engineering, or MBSE, is a way of avoiding that. Rather than describing a product across a set of separate documents, MBSE captures it in one connected model.
During August and September 2026, the LEAP PTC team travelled across Australia and New Zealand to deliver the LEAP Tech Day seminar series on PTC’s Intelligent Product Lifecycle. In this article we recap the events and provide access to online resources to learn more about important updates to the PTC product suite.
In this guest blog, Matthew Ferguson, Business Development Manager – Quarries and Aggregates Australasia, describes Multotec’s use of digital engineering practices in the design of precision-engineered components that are critical to the ACE & ERX platform’s hammerless mechanism, delivering lower lifecycle costs through reductions in change-out times and reduced wear on critical parts.
Engineers rely heavily on calculations in their daily work, yet a significant amount of their time is spent on checking, reworking, and explaining these calculations rather than solving problems. This article explains how Mathcad Prime 12 addresses these challenges, transforming calculations into clear, interactive engineering documentation.
The final instalment of our Intelligent Product Lifecycle web series examines PTC’s AI strategy, from existing AI capabilities within PTC’s software suite to upcoming functionality planned for future releases and the overarching principles that guide PTC’s AI roadmap.
In this fifth instalment of our web series we explain the benefits of empowering your product development teams with Codebeamer and Pure Variants, Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solutions in the Intelligent Product Lifecycle.
The final instalment of our Intelligent Product Lifecycle webinar series explains and demonstrates how the solid product data foundation enabled through PLM can be harnessed by the wider enterprise to improve efficiency, quality and compliance.
Beyond the typical use of PLM in managing product data during design stages, the third instalment of our Intelligent Product Lifecycle series showcases the applicability of Windchill PLM into manufacturing incl. production, service, and sustainment. We discuss how Windchill’s design planning, configuration management, and change management capabilities (including the integration of AI technology) helps to streamline processes across an organisation.
In this second instalment of the series we shift our focus deeper into the design phase, exploring the central role that the Bill of Materials (BOM), configuration management, change management and project management play within the Intelligent Product Lifecycle.
In this first instalment of our Intelligent Product Lifecycle series, learn how Windchill’s PDM capabilities form the foundation for maximising the value of your product data across the enterprise.
