This research delves into the technology allocation process in mechatronic products by exploring the optimal combination of various domains such as mechanics, electronics, and software. By identifying key influencing factors and their interrelationships, the study formulates allocation rules to improve the design process. The goal is to enhance product properties and performance through better understanding and application of technology allocation methods. The findings are aimed to support engineers in making informed decisions during the design of complex mechatronic systems.
