Abstract Automated Production Systems (aPS) have lifetimes of up to 30–50 years,
throughout which the desired products change ever more frequently. This requires flexible …

Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into engi-neering practice is becoming increasingly
prominent, driven by the demand for more efficient and reliable solutions to engineer-ing …

Hierarchical modeling helps to describe product models and data from different viewpoints
that, representing the different disciplines involved in the design process of mechatronic …

This contribution outlines the creation and use of system models for the successful and
efficient design and development of multidisciplinary mechatronic systems. As functionality …

Modeling and simulation is an established scientific and industrial method to support
engineers in their work in all lifecycle phases—from first concepts or tender to operation and …

The dynamic parameters of a roller rig vary as the adhesion level changes. The change in
dynamics parameters needs to be analysed to estimate the adhesion level. One of these …

Since modern production processes are multi-disciplinary, all relevant disciplines must be
involved in product development in order to achieve good results. While established …

The amount of software in automated production systems, including its development effort, is
continuously increasing to currently up to 35-50% of the development personnel …

Mechatronics may be defined as an interdisciplinary field of engineering science which aims
to mutually integrate and interconnect mechanical engineering, electrical engineering …

Structuring the early design phase of automotive systems is an important part of efficient and
