Story
Inside Panasonic Automotive, virtual testing used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of Japan. Analysts and design leads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Panasonic Automotive uses Codebeamer from PTC as the working layer for simulation. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. The practical change is simple: virtual testing has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Panasonic Automotive gets from PTC is a durable place to run virtual testing and a way for analysts and design leads to see the same simulation at the same time.
