UGS transforms the process of innovation for "mechatronic" products that combine mechanical, electronic, electrical and software technologies by creating, capturing and delivering a systems perspective in an open product lifecycle management (PLM) solution. UGS manages the entire product lifecycle, beginning with systems engineering capabilities to design the product's integrated software and electro-mechanical subsystems. The mechatronic product requirements are communicated through all lifecycle processes, including development, manufacturing and support, to guide decision-making and resolve integration issues consistent with the product's strategic intent. UGS PLM capabilities include systems design, requirements management, visualization, simulation, test, manufacturing and in-service support.

UGS' digital lifecycle management solution communicates the requirements to guide design, simulation, testing and manufacturing processes, which are supported by UGS' digital product development and digital manufacturing solutions. Specific features of UGS' PLM solutions in support of Systems Engineering and Mechatronics include:

• Systems architecting
• Requirements management
• Enterprise data management
• Wire harness development and manufacturing engineering
• Source code management and configuration management
• Software binary configuration / embedded software management
• Integration of electrical and mechanical models with logical and functional models in systems engineering
• Validation across configurations
• Product architectures vs. product content
• PCB development and PCB manufacturing
• Simulation and validation
• Manufacturing capacity and assembly planning
• Regulatory compliance, traceability and validation
• Product maintenance and service
