Software development

Model-driven development

Concurrent engineering requires the use of modern development methods and redesign of established procedures. While model-supported static and dynamic design of the machine structure through the use of methods is already widely used, model-based development of machine tool control software has not yet caught on in the real world. This is particularly true for PLC software, which implements bosh technological and safety-related functions. The reason for this include the late integration of software engineering into machine development and the unavailability of suitable development tools.
