Increasing system complexity again results in a more complex system design and configuration process, taking into account the properties of each subsystem. Obtaining a framework for selecting the individual components for creating a SiME therefore is crucial for simplifying the design process. Thereby, this article presents a first step toward such a framework, by identifying parameter sets which can be used for selecting the microelectronic components to be used in the machine element in design, where the parameters are seen as characteristics of the individual components, limiting the number of usable components and therefore allowing the design and configuration process. The method used in this article is based on use case-specific as well as general parameter analysis, which is designed to be applied to a multitude of use cases for different machine elements (MEs). Being applied to the use case of a fastening bolt, two parameter sets, first for creating a component database and second selecting components to be used, are derived, demonstrating the applicability of the suggested methods. Finally, the parameter sets are validated by an exemplary component selection process, highlighting the potential of the concept as well as showing room for further research.en1558-1748202471117411183IEEEComponent parametrizationcomponent selection processdesign of cyber-physical systemsdigitalizationmicroelectronical systems designmodular product architecture designsensor-integrating machine elements (SiMEs)Computer SciencesElectrical Engineering, Electronic EngineeringJournal Article10.1109/JSEN.2024.3365271Journal Article
