Part of these concept alternatives are ideas and solution concepts elaborated in various specialist areas (disciplines) and departments (domains), which realize a product's requirements and the customers' properties in the best possible way. To control these solution ideas in their variety- and due to the mechatronic system design, collaboration-induced complexity, it is necessary to create a correspondingly transparent image of the architecture. In this way, a common system understanding of these technical solutions' reasons, origins, and intended effects is developed and mapped. This paper presents the structure of such a system architecture in the context of modular development at TRUMPF Werkzeugmaschinen SE + Co KG and its transparency-increasing effect of a variety- and collaboration-oriented architecture. The article focuses on creating and using such an architecture for improved common system understanding.enCollaborationModular DesignSystem UnderstandingVarietyBuilding, ConstructionCivil Engineering, Environmental EngineeringConference Paperhttps://www.orellfuessli.ch/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1070782977Conference Paper
