The implementation of the SBCE principles in the V-cycle steps for the development of a mechatronic product and its production system

This project looks at how to bring Set‑Based Concurrent Engineering (SBCE) into the usual V‑cycle systems‑engineering process for mechatronic product development. Traditional point‑based design often causes late‑stage changes, which raise costs and delay market entry. With SBCE, many design alternatives for both the mechatronic product and its production system are created and evaluated at the same time. This approach postpones final design decisions until enough feasibility data is collected from the mechanical, electrical, and software sides. The project gives step‑by‑step guidance for linking SBCE activities—defining design spaces, finding where they intersect, and narrowing the sets—to the descending (design) and ascending (verification) phases of the V‑cycle. A typical mechatronic assembly, such

as an automated modular conveyor or a robotic actuator, serves as the test platform. Using CAD models, multi‑domain simulation, and parametric trade‑off analysis, the co‑development of the product and its assembly line is organized. The resulting method shows how concurrent engineering reduces integration risk, improves system performance, and aligns product specifications with manufacturing constraints. It provides a solid framework for undergraduate mechatronics design and documentation.
