My Areas of Application
I apply system design and modeling to multidisciplinary products such as autonomous driving systems, television platforms, infotainment, or mechatronic installations for smart buildings.
In such areas of application, product development is determined by the cohesion of several design aspects and subsystems. Their sources are not only the various engineering disciplines for embedded systems but also topics such as interactivity, safety, unique selling positions, user psychology, and social effects.
Media Platforms
Design challenges:
- Distributed system
- Digital Rights Management
- Cyber Security
- Parental Control
- Dramaturgy and user experience
Example systems:
- Platform for interactive television
- Pay-TV platform
- Satellite network
- Inhouse media distribution
- Network for high security communication
Mechatronics
Design challenges:
- Multiple engineering disciplines
- Sensors and actuators
- Functional Safety
- Public support
Example systems:
- Elevators
- Medical devices
- Agricultural machines
- Robots
Automotive
Design challenges:
- Embedded subsystems
- Outdoor usage
- Environmental protection
- Public safety
- Driving feel
Example systems:
- Autonomous driving systems
- Smart Steering Wheel
- Infotainment on trains and cruise ships
- Controls and visualization for leisure rides
Smart Living
Design challenges:
- Multilateral projects
- Energy saving
- Comfort
- Family setting
- Cost contra reliability
Example systems:
- Home media server
- Household heating system
- Smart workout device
- Alarm system
- Point-of-sale terminal
