Mechatronic System Design• What makes a system a mechatronic system?

• How can an engineer mechatronify a traditional system?• How are mechatronic systems designed? What are the

essential elements in the design process?

• Who comprises a mechatronic system design team?Who is the leader?

• What is the why of mechatronics, the how of

mechatronics, and the challenges of mechatronics for a

company?

The WHY of Mechatronics• Companies must:

• have the ability to increase the competitiveness oftheir products through the use of technology.

• be able to respond rapidly and effectively to changes

in the market place.

• Mechatronic strategies:

• support and enable the development of new products

and markets.

• enhance existing products.

• respond to the introduction of new product lines by a

competitor.



K. Craig 12

The HOW of Mechatronics• The achievement of a successful multidisciplinary design

environment essentially depends on the ability of the design

team to innovate, communicate, collaborate, and integrate.

• Indeed, a major role of the multidisciplinary systems engineer

is often that of acting to bridge the communications gaps that

can exist between more specialized colleagues in order toensure that the objectives of collaboration and integration are

achieved.

• This is important during the design phases of product

development and particularly so in relation to requirements

definition where errors in interpretation of customer

requirements can result in significant cost and time penalties.



K. Craig 13

The CHALLENGE of Mechatronics• Master the future increase of

system complexity• Innovative Excellence

• Yielding new products with

distinctive functionality, betterquality and/or a cost

advantage

• Operational Excellence

• Effective and highly efficientprocesses for product design,

manufacturing, and calibration

Best-In-Class Companies• Mechatronic systems significantly outperform legacy

systems, but they are much more complex.

• Close cooperation among multiple design disciplines isrequired and design processes must evolve.

• Combining the right design process and tools isessential.

• Best-in-Class Companies can be identified by examiningfive key product development performance criteria:

• Revenue

• Product Cost• Product Launch Dates

• Quality

• Development Costs



K. Craig 24

• Regarding Simulation and Virtual Prototyping

• A system can be tested as it is being designed andaccess to the innermost workings is available at every

phase of the design process.

• When employed early in the design process, modeling

and simulation provides an environment in which asystem, with its subsystems and components, can be

tuned and optimized, and critical insights gained, even

before hardware can be built.

• After the basic system is locked down, simulation can be

employed to verify intended system operation, varying

parameters in ways that would otherwise be impossible

with physical prototypes.• System integration can begin before physical hardware is

available, including embedded software.



K. Craig 25

• It is rare to find electromechanical devices without some

kind of embedded system. The intelligence from anembedded system delivers enhanced performance,

reduced energy consumption, better reliability, and safer

operation, which are key differentiators and value drivers.

• However, the benefits of an embedded system come at aprice. The interaction between hardware and software

becomes more complex and managing this complexity can

prove challenging.

• In most traditional design approaches, engineers test

software on hardware prototypes, addressing software

validation very late in the development process. Errors

found at this late stage create costly delays. Errors relatingto incomplete, incorrect, or conflicting requirements may

even necessitate a fundamental redesign.



K. Craig 26

• Model-Based System Design simplifies the developmentof multidisciplinary engineering systems by providing a

common environment for design and communication

across different engineering disciplines.

• Model-Based System Design extends the computer-aided engineering world with an additional perspective

on system-level design. It incorporates the dynamics

and performance requirements needed to properly

describe the system. It is software driven! Engineers

can continually test the design as it evolves. It

automates code generation for the embedded system by

eliminating the need to hand code open-loop and closed-loop control algorithms.



K. Craig 27

• The Benefits of Model-Based System Design then are:

• The capability to inexpensively design and test

multiple approaches without costly commitment to

prototype hardware early in the development process.

• A collaborative design environment using commonexecutable specifications that connect to requirement

documents and lets all multiple engineering

disciplines communicate in a common language.

• The ability to reduce development costs by easily

finding and correcting errors during an early

simulation stage.

• The capability to develop complex embeddedsystems that provide customer value, product quality,

and sophistication in multidisciplinary systems.
