“…In order to be able to implement and realize the potential of SuDE in a technical system, SuDE must be systematically developed or selected and integrated into the overall system. The interdisciplinarity between the domains of mechanics, electronics and computing and the associated complexity must be taken into account [16]. Product development generally uses procedure models and development methods for this purpose.…”

The sensory acquisition of in situ data in technical systems is one of the key requirements set by ongoing digitalization. The sensory utilization of mechanical design elements is a step towards the accomplishment of this requirement. To set a common ground for further research in the context of sensory utilizable design elements, this paper reviews the current state of research in this topic. First, the aim, potentials and classification of sensory utilizable design elements are introduced. Next, examples of sensory utilizable design elements are presented. These examples are used to demonstrate the technical and methodical challenges that have to be addressed in order to establish sensory utilizable design elements as a solution for the requirements of digitalization.

“…According to Abramovici and Bellalouna, ''Process-based problems'' are linked to the coordination and the synchronisation of the ''different disciplines, specific development processes, activities, tasks and results across all fields is not sufficiently supported'', but also to the fact that complex ''coherences and interactions between the disciplines are considered in a late development phase''. Furthermore, ''comprehensive integration, configuration, change and release management across all disciplines is little or barely supported'' [9].…”

“…The second kind of difficulties encountered during design of mechatronic systems, called ''Design data-related problems'' [9], is related to the edition and management tools heterogeneity. For example, mechanical designers use Computer Aided x (CAx) applications to support the product development process.…”

According to the principles of concurrent engineering and integrated design, engineers intend to develop a mechatronic system with a high level integration (functional and physical integrations) based on a well-organised design method. As a result, two main categories of issues have been pointed out: the process-based problems and the design data-related problems. Several approaches to overcome these issues have been put forward. To solve process-based problems, a dynamic perspective is generally used to present how collaboration can be improved during the mechatronic design. For design data-related problems, solutions generally come from product models and how to structure and store the data thanks to the functionality of data and documents management of Product Lifecycle Management systems. To be able to assess design methods and product models, some criteria are proposed in the paper and used to evaluate their added value on integrated design of mechatronic system. After this assessment, main outcomes which focus on the combination of design method and product model for improving the design of mechatronic system are finally discussed.

“…According to Abramovici and Bellalouna (2007), a federative data model is the solution to the integration of the partial models that exist in the manufacturing activity, since it serves both the distribution and the integration requirements while keeping a high degree of flexibility.…”
