Product properties Product costs + - + + - Chance of a „good“technology allocation - Number of iterations during design process + + Improved basis for technology allocation - + + + + + Formulation of allocation rules Improved knowledge about domains + + + + + Analysis of influencing factors Analysis of domains + + Technology Allocation in Mechatronic Products • Goal Support mechatronic design processes to improve product properties • Research Problem Mechatronic systems are based on the synergetic combination of different domains (mechanics, electronics, software). What is the optimal combination of domains in an specific product? • Main Research Questions • Impact Model • What are the main factors of influence on technology allocation? • How are these factors related to each other? • How do they influence the optimal technology allocation? • How can technology allocation be optimized by design methods? • Research Approach and Methods • Expected Results • Analysis of different domains • Identification of influencing factors • Analysis of these factors and their interdependencies • Formulation of rules for technology allocation • Improved understanding of the process of technology allocation • Creation of a method to support the process of technology allocation Sebastian JansenInstitute of Engineering DesignRuhr-University Bochum(Germany) tel.: +49 234 / 32-26314 e-mail: jansen@lmk.ruhr-uni-bochum.de URL: www.lmk.ruhr-uni-bochum.de • Theoretical Foundation • Theory of technical systems • Domain-specific theories (e.g. physical laws) • Theory of engineering design
