Integrated modeling boosts machine design

Developing complex systems and software for embedded or real-time industrial automation applications is a daunting challenge for designers and engineers. Projects require that engineers, developers and controls specialists maintain high-quality systems and software, meet demanding schedules and manage complexity, while simultaneously fulfilling safety, accuracy, clarity, traceability and productivity objectives.

Using a UML/SysML-based model-driven development environment and a model-based design for dynamic systems tools is an integrated modeling approach that covers the complete process of designing industrial and machine control applications. Graham Bleakley et al of Telelogic discusses more of how integrated modeling boosts machine design.
