For Universities

Teach engineering the way industry practices it.

From classroom to capstone, ProductFlo gives students a real engineering workflow: a shared product graph, change review across disciplines, and human approval gates. They graduate knowing how hardware teams actually work.

Capstone Workspaces

Dedicated workspaces per course, lab, and capstone team, with roles for faculty, TAs, and students. Every team works from one shared product graph.

Real Change Discipline

Students propose changes; agents check them across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and manufacturing; humans approve. ECOs stop being a lecture topic.

Cross-Disciplinary Teams

Mechanical, electrical, and firmware students collaborate on the same design with review tools that keep every discipline in the loop.

Documentation That Teaches Itself

BOMs, change records, and design review briefs generated from the product graph — students learn proper engineering documentation by producing it.

Works With Your Lab's Tools

ProductFlo reads the CAD and ECAD tools your courses already teach — KiCad, SolidWorks, Onshape, GitHub — in place. No new toolchain to learn first.

Industry-Real Workflows

Version control, design reviews, approval gates, and audit trails — the same disciplines students will meet on their first engineering job.

Feedback in Context

Agents flag pin mismatches, BOM drift, and cross-discipline conflicts directly on the change, while the design is still fresh.

Attribution on Every Change

Who changed what, when, and who approved it — recorded automatically. Grading team contributions stops being guesswork.

Start With One Course

Pilot it on a single capstone course: a fixed-scope 30-day pilot at $8,000, on real student work.

Why ProductFlo

Why engineering universities choose ProductFlo

Interdisciplinary by Default

Break down the silos between departments. One product graph forces mechanical, electrical, and firmware students to design together.

Review Culture, Early

Students learn that every change gets reviewed and approved — the habit that separates junior engineers from liabilities.

Less Tooling Overhead

No PLM to deploy and maintain per course. ProductFlo sits on top of the tools you already teach.

What Teams Say

Our engineering students now experience industry-grade PLM from day one. ProductFlo bridges the gap between academic projects and real-world product development.
