September 2013: Publication in Industrie 4.0
The next stage of industrial development – Industry 4.0 – requires mastering of multidisciplinary engineering and production of complex, intelligent systems. Our industry is not prepared for this. Organization, processes, management – everything is adjusted to products with the least software content. A simple improvement of single parts of the company is not sufficient. Alongside with a general analysis of the situation and the resulting challenges, prominent factors from economy and science arise, which shed light on the topic from its own perspective.

Selected Book Contribution
Model Based Virtual Product Engineering on a Platform for System Lifecycle Management
Innovative interdisciplinary product development requires a rethinking of today's construction methods, processes, IT solutions and organizational forms. Electronic and software build an ever-increasing part of the product. Construction and development methods of all disciplines – mechanical electronics and software engineering – have to be put on the test bench in order to check their suitability for a modern, interdisciplinary strategy for product engineering and converted into common, integrated and interdisciplinary method-, process- and IT-approach.
Systems Engineering addresses this problem form the product engineering trough an interdisciplinary consideration of the product over its complete lifecycle. The thereof derived „Model Based Systems Engineering“ (MBSE) extends the approach by a stage-specific digital modeling. The collaboration between the involved disciplines and product engineering stages does not take place though documents anymore but trough digital models.
