Models for categorizing, assessing and evaluating the quality of Mechatronic Objects in Systems Engineering, as well as frameworks for developing and assessing Engineering Strategies.
Motivation
Mechatronic objects play an increasingly important role in systems engineering. In this context a mechatronic object is the representation (digital, virtual) of a mechatronic product and describes characteristics and properties of several different discipline-specific models (like signals, mechanics, automatic control techniques, drawings, ..) and their dependencies. Furthermore systems engineering is a highly complex and needs some strategic guidance that is best formulated as a functional strategy on the level of engineering. Currently there are no established methods for the development and assessment of engineering strategies available.
Goals
- A Framework for evaluating mechatronic objects that also allows to systematically plan and supervise improvements in the mechatronic design.
- A method for the development and assessment of engineering strategies.
Results
- A framework for classifying and evaluating mechatronic objects.
- A systematic improvment method for mechantronic objects based on their classification and evaluation
- Validation studies
