A Model-Based Mechatronic System Design and Integration Process
Main Article Content
Abstract
In contemporary mechatronic product development, embracing an interdisciplinary approach has become imperative to manage potential integration risks. This research paper introduces a viable solution that combines Automation Studio and the VDI 2206 methodology to design mechatronic systems. The study's findings highlight the efficacy of this interdisciplinary approach in effectively addressing early challenges associated with multi-domain integration. It enables simultaneous evaluation and resolution of limitations inherent in traditional design methods. Successfully applied to develop an automated garment folding machine with a PLC controller, the proposed process proves to be a valuable tool in optimizing mechatronic system development. The system, designed using this process, relies on a real-time computational model as its foundation, laying the groundwork for constructing a digital twin in the future. This ensures a comprehensive representation of the system, facilitating enhanced understanding and performance assessment during the development and operational phases. The adoption of such an approach signifies a significant step forward in advancing mechatronic engineering and ensuring the successful realization of complex and efficient systems.
