Master product line engineering

Products in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries are becoming increasingly complex and software defined. Model-based product line engineering (PLE) can help you master complexity, overcome engineering silos, and deliver high-quality products at the right price and the right time.

Join Lockheed Martin and PTC for a multi-day event on March 24-25, 2026 to share best practices in PLE with fellow engineers and hear success stories from technical industry leaders who will showcase how you can achieve results with PLE through:

  • Utilizing common core components across product variants
  • Reusing shared assets and automating the creation of product variants
  • Integration of software and hardware development
  • Swift expansion and addition of new variants
  • Plus, additional engineering tactics to help you streamline your processes

Register now to dive deeper into PLE and explore how you can drive results and learn from technical industry leaders with tangible strategies for success. Registration closes on March 2, and space is very limited. We encourage you to secure your place as soon as possible.
