TRENDS IN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SYNERGY AT MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS

摘要

The paper discusses the problems of mechatronic products development aiming at the synergy of its allocated technologies and synergy between user and system. Special attention is paid to the use of product development context and design for reliability at elaboration of mechatronic systems. It is shown that in addition to the classical approach to the reliability at mechatronic systems development it is also necessary to take the reliability of the allied technologies and man-machine interfaces into account. The importance of the prognosis of the dependability characteristics of non-safety-critical mechatronic systems design is discussed. It is shown that dependability prognosis makes it possible to select the ones from alternative design solutions which are by price/reliability ratio competitive on the market.
