Testing Mechatronic Systems and their Integration into the Digital Enterprise

Abstract

When a mechatronic system is built, certain considerations prevail. The product needs to follow certain steps in production. Here is discussed the need to test an industrial mechatronic system during production and the interfaces of its components. As mechatronic systems tend to become increasingly complex, the test methods should include certain strategies that allow the delivered to the customer with the desired specifications and in a timely manner. With the help of the digital factory, a product is stored electronically and a new or an improved variant of the product could be at any time created, with less effort in production, before this one becomes uninteresting on the market.
