Data-driven modelling of the functional level in model-based systems engineering – Optimization of module scopes in modular development

The modelling of the functional level of technical systems can be supported by the analysis of machine usage data. By creating an understanding of the actual use of provided functions of offered machine configurations, the definition of module scopes in modular development can be optimized. Characteristics of specific machine usage can be assigned to physical elements using model-based systems engineering. Analyses on a purely functional system level can thus be placed in context with each other via the connection to physical elements. Consequently, critical elements in the system design can be systematically uncovered.
