N2 - Increasing integration of different disciplines such as mechanics, electrics/electronics and control software has led to higher complexity in the development of an automated production system (aPS), bringing forth some challenges along with it. In order to address these challenges, a multi-disciplinary engineering workflow can be built using a model-based system engineering (MBSE) approach. However, the various tools in different disciplines impede the efficient collaboration of different models. Because of the implicit dependencies between different disciplines, it is difficult to ensure the consistency after a change. This paper provides an approach to building an efficient multi-disciplinary engineering workflow based on MBSE. Through a combination of SysML4Mechatronics modeling language with inconsistency management and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), the proposed engineering workflow facilitates the design of multi-disciplinary aPS and supports information tracking, consistency assurance, as well as change analysis across disciplines. The benefits of the proposed approach are demonstrated with a case study on a lab-sized production plant.
