Abstract

The digital plant is still a vision since standard engineering tools and systems currently address only specific areas or phases in the engineering process and engineering methodologies are difficult to derive. This paper points out the importance of mechatronic domain models for integrated engineering tool and system landscapes and their significance as a driver for digital plant engineering. A strategy for developing an integrated tool and system landscape is suggested based on user-centric mechatronic domain models. In addition, the definition of mechatronic domain models is discussed.
