机械工程和相关部门的产品将越来越多地基于机械，电子，控制工程和软件工程的密切相互作用。此外，这些产品将表现出固有的部分智能，这将使它们能够独立地适应不断变化的环境条件。这被称为自我优化。显然，开发此类产品需要有关学科的专家之间进行交流与合作的新方式和方法。本文介绍了机电一体化和自我优化的产品，并解释了如何以综合的方式开发这些产品。上述四个专业学科的整合对于成功的产品开发至关重要。机电一体化和自我优化产品的开发过程发生在虚拟的三维空间中进行设计。由于自优化产品及其开发过程的高度复杂性，需要提供一个支持设计过程的复杂开发环境。该环境通过提供探索性的设计方式来支持产品设计过程，即开发人员可以创建原理解决方案并在虚拟环境中测试其行为。选择汽车技术领域的例子是因为信息技术对汽车技术有着根本性的影响。下一步，范围将扩展到制造系统背景下的智能单元。
The products of mechanical engineering and related sectors will be based increasingly on a close interaction of mechanics, electronics, control engineering and software engineering. Furthermore, these products will demonstrate inherent partial intelligence, which will allow them to adjust independently to changing environmental conditions. This is referred to as self-optimization. It is evident that the development of such products demands new ways and means of communication and cooperation between the experts involved from the relevant disciplines. This article addresses mechatronic and self-optimizing products and explains how such products can be developed in an integrative way. The integration of the four mentioned specialized disciplines is crucial for successful product development. The development process for mechatronic and self-optimizing products takes place in a virtual three-dimensional space for designing. Owing to the high complexity of self-optimizing products and their development process, a sophisticated development environment supporting the design process needs to be provided. This environment supports the product design process by offering an explorative way of designing, i.e. it is possible for the developer to create the principle solution and to test its behaviour in a virtual environment. Examples are chosen from the area of vehicle technology because information technology has a fundamental impact on it. In a next step, the scope will be extended towards smart units in the context of manufacturing systems.
