Mechatronics
The term mechatronics refers to the interaction of the disciplines of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology in the development and manufacture of new products.
For decades, mechanical systems were the non plus ultra. With the development of electronics, computer systems and the possibility to control running processes with electronic programs, intelligent systems such as robot technology, medical technology, electronic shooting systems, motor cylinders, barrier systems, automatic roller blinds and many more are being created in all areas of our lives.
The advantages of the individual fields of expertise in combination result in completely new possibilities for modern application technology.
Mechatronics, mechanics, electronics / electrical engineering, control engineering and information technology are combined in a meaningful way.
In the area of locking technology, which in the past was manufactured purely mechanically, the integration of electronic components opens up new, more flexible options for access authorization.
Where purely mechanical systems quickly reach their limits due to their limited reprogrammability, only the electronic management of access authorizations makes it possible to change authorizations quickly.
Purely mechanical systems still make sense today for price reasons. However, combined systems are a good option for higher demands on universality and flexibility.
However, problems are still posed by the power supply, temperature sensitivity and long-term availability of the basic production components.
The mastery and development of complex algorithms with the transition to artificial intelligence (AI) opens up undreamt-of possibilities for future applications.
