In the first interview with Dr. Stefan Jockusch, VP, Product Development, Siemens PLM Software, we explored what makes mechatronics products so complex. In this part 2 of the interview with Dr. Jockusch we explored the question of how a PLM system can help manage products where software drives electronics and mechanical components.
In Dr. Jockusch’s view a PLM system must do three things:
- allows you to translate your requirements into a functional structure. The functional structure doesn’t “know” about how the function will be implemented.
- gives you a common data model that allows electrical, mechanical and software engineers to work on the same dataset and understand how it is connected.
- talks to the multitude of engineering tools you use in your development.
