Combined development and test of product-service systems in early product development stages for customized, availability-oriented business models in the capital goods industry

摘要

Availability-Oriented Product-Service Systems (AOPSS) give manufacturers of capital goods the opportunity to expand their offerings while fulfilling the customers' needs for product availability. In turn, they generate special requirements for the early product development phase. Condition monitoring has to be taken into account, which results in a contradiction since learning-based condition monitoring approaches require large amounts of data which isn't available in that particular stage. Techniques from model-based systems engineering allow solving problems newly arising when developing parts or products in AOPSS. The approach proposed in the paper is being illustrated based on a use case from the agricultural industry.
