A Case Study for Systematic Design of a Mechatronic Product for Buildings

This article is a case study about the use and integration of various design methods into one final mechatronic design and how they are applied within a specific design process. As an example for the systematic design approach the development of an innovative window system is presented, which allows automated open / close / aerated functions via wireless operation. The development is part of an overall building facility concept which comprises the automation and integration of innovative end user functions within building facilities.
