Summary:Modern mechanical engineering systems are primarily designed to perform a specific system process in an optimal manner. For this purpose, they use control systems that monitor and influence the process with the help of sensors and actuators. Changing control values or (physical) disturbances are recorded and considered by the control systems. Problems arise whenever the disturbances are not physical, but organizational. In these cases, the existing control systems can not react and there are delays and failures in the system process. New trends in automation and information and communication technology can help to bridge this gap in process control by providing intelligent and data-based services in the immediate process environment. Distributed drive systems can assume a key role as they already have the necessary technical requirements. However, these are to be made more flexible. For this purpose, it is necessary to subject both hardware and software production to a systemic approach and to provide the mechanical part of the system process with a digital image. The fact that this increases the complexity in the system production is undisputed. Therefore, in addition to the technical possibilities for solving the problem, the value in use must also be determined and evaluated from the outset in system development.
