Products and Frameworks

MBSE Lab

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the formalized application of modelling to support system requirements, design, analysis, verification, and validation activities beginning in the conceptual design phase and continuing throughout development and later life cycle phases.

Why OEMs requires MBSE:

1. Product Complexity

Product Complexity is increased due to combinations of Mechanical, Software, Electrical, Electronic and Interfacing systems. MBSE provides a framework to manage product complexity through structured framework.

2. Requirements Flow & Traceability

In complex product development, requirements traceability is the challenge across the end-to-end product development process is challenging. Many times, there is a misalignment in between Goals, Objectives, Requirements and Product features.

3. Traceability of Change

In MBSE models, where relationships are clearly defined, an engineer can understand which things will be affected by a change. It enables to trace a link of requirement & physical product.

4. Product information flow in-between various disciplines

Traditionally, systems have been defined using multiple documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. The primary issue with this approach is propagating change and misinterpretation amongst those definitions, leading to delays.

5. Mechatronics is emerging as the prevalent systems area

It increases complexity & need to manage the Software data, ECU Structure, etc. in effective way. A simple bug in vehicle software can lead to serious issues. MBSE provides the framework to manage the mechatronics data in Industry compliant way.

6. Re-usability of Models

Modular structures allow for models (or parts of models) to be reused.

7. Product Platforms optimisation

OEMs are investing heavily in R&D to reduce the build platforms for product launch.

8. Product Warranty Cost

Product Warranty Cost increases due to issues, bugs, defects in the product. Direct warranty cost can be reduced by implementing MBSE that brings in traceability of requirements, physical products, validation and verifications

9. Faster pace Product innovations

To maintain the continuous stream of new product platforms is the needs of every OEM. MBSE provides a framework to modularise way of managing the systems of the product. This modularity gives better pace and speed to innovations.

10. Mandatory Compliance (A-SPICE Levels)

Most of the organisation requires A-SPICE level certification if they are using software in their products. Overall framework of A-SPICE leads to MBSE adoption.

MBSE Lab at Techflakes

Techflakes have built MBSE lab with end-to-end process flow and 375 foundation use cases simulated into tool chain.

This preconfigured environment can be leveraged for:
  • OEMs looking to embark their journey on the MBSE adoption
  • Tool chain assessment & evaluation
  • Requirements analysis
  • Proof of Concepts
  • Blueprinting & roadmap for MBSE
  • R&D Factory for future requirements & taking MBSE at next level
  • Define A-SPICE level upgrade roadmaps
  • Education & Training 

Our MBSE Story Board

We leveraged our domain experience, Quad Connect, UseFlakes, Dashboards, etc. to create end-to-end story board for MBSE. This story board demonstrates high level functional and tool landscape for the MBSE. Techflakes Digital have developed 375 use cases, connectors, process flows, data flows across this story board.
