Abstract

This contribution introduces an approach for optimizing smart products and systems through a Closed-Loop Systems Engineering approach. The approach focuses on combining aspects from Model-Based Systems Engineering and the Internet of Things to optimize the system by seamless feedback of product usage data to the early development phase. For evaluation and validation purposes, the approach is prototypically applied to the example of an excavator’s product generation, which is used in different variants in different markets.
