Assistance system to support the cycle management in the development and use phase of PSS innovation processes through self-maintenance of mechatronic modules (A06)

• Subject Area: Engineering Design, Machine Elements, Product Development
• Term: from 2008 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 33237764

The goal of the subproject is to enhance the management of PSS innovation processes by using the knowledge of (IT-)change cycles during the use phase to improve the models and documents, which were created in the development phase. Thus, optimized module-models are available to the engineers, which are adapted to the PSS life cycle and enable a faster development and less necessary changes. Therefore, the subproject develops an assistance system which synchronizes the module-models with the change cycles in the use phase, adapts them (semi-)automatically if necessary (self-maintenance) and provides them for the development of future projects.
