Abstract

Currently, there are many advanced tools supporting work in various phases of the product life cycle, but most often these tools are not integrated well enough. This results in the need to work in distributed processes and difficulties in communication and compromises the harmonization of the process. Furthermore, the growing complexity of mechatronic systems and their interdisciplinary nature forced the need to develop new methodologies for the development and implementation of products based on these systems. The article presents the concept called the Requirements-Functional-Logical-Physical methodology that allows to include Systems Engineering in the development process of complex products and to ensure full consistency of data architecture. The paper also presents a description of a prototype version of the system that is based on the digital thread concept and implements OASIS Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration specification to overcome these difficulties and gives an overview at the impact of this new approach on the product development process.
