“…Figure 5 shows the MIG of the developed PFG. The MIG is a suitable tool for visualising product components, their variety, linkages and interconnection flows throughout all mechatronic domains (Gebhardt et al, 2014) and is well established within different design methods of the Integrated PKT-Approach (Krause and Gebhardt, 2018). The white marked parts represent standardised elements, which are combined in this system on one platform, which is the DEP.…”

The new development of cyber-physical product families currently lacks a methodically supported modularisation approach. This paper provides an approach for module-based mechatronic development, which provides design for future product variety. The state of the art in terms of mechatronic system design and modular product architecture design is presented. A modified V-model is then shown that integrates initial product architecture design and life phase modularisation. The method is applied and evaluated for the development of product family generations of robot units in a teaching course.

“…the assignment of business model variants and the corresponding product components and service activities. While the service structure is represented in the PSS family functional structure, the Module Interface Graph (MIG) is used for documenting the product components [40]. This is shown in Figure 4 and contains the components that are contained in the entire product family, as well as their classification into standard or variant components.…”

To access new market segments, a growing number of manufacturing companies are changing their business models and are transforming themselves into providers of so-called Product-Service Systems (PSS). These are a combination of product and service components. Since a complete transformation of the business model often involves uncertainties and risks, companies often offer different types of PSS simultaneously. However, this increases the variety and thus the variety-induced complexity for the companies. Therefore, this paper introduces an approach that allows the development of suitable PSS-based business models that can be offered simultaneously as a business model family and are based on existing products. The approach is applied to the example of a manufacturer of industrial valves.

“…The color coding shows the degree of variety within the components, where grey symbolizes variant components and white components represent standard components. The differently colored arrows between individual components show different flows, such as, e.g., electrical or information flow [41]. Additionally, to the MIG we visualized the service components, as the classical MIG is generally only used for product components.…”

Within emerging markets, ensuring the competitiveness of manufacturing companies is crucial to their success. The integration of new business possibilities, such as Product-Service-Systems (PSS) can provide one suitable solution. Especially within the architecture development process, large amounts of interconnected data and data types need to be processed and versioned. This leads to a significant lack of data consistency and continuity along the development process of modular PSS architectures. This lack of consistency and continuity leads to a process being prone to errors, representing a significant negative impact onto the company’s value-added stream. We provide one possible solution to these issues by presenting a PSS architecture modularization approach based upon the modularization methods of the Integrated PKT-Approach. Using concepts of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) for modelling these architectures, automated and dynamic analyses of the architecture for the iteration and harmonization of the PSS architecture under development are enabled. The at first generically described approach is further detailed in the second part of this contribution by applying it to an industry case study for mobile laser welding systems. As a result, a clear support for the visualization of architecture iteration aspects as well as for the enhancement of data consistency and continuity is given.
