    What makes a product unique or a design innovative? Find out in these case studies, sponsored by Autodesk® Inventor®, written by David G. Ullman, Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Design from Oregon State University and author of The Mechanical Engineering Process.

    This case study, Spiral Product Development at Syncromatics, focuses on the development of Solar Powered Shelter Signs by Syncromatics Corp. Syncromatics is a provider of Intelligent Tracking Systems, specializing in bus tracking, automated passenger counting, passenger information systems and route analytics. The case study examines:

    The Problem: Design a product composed of mechanical electronic and software systems in a coordinated and timely manner.

    The Method: The design process is a mixture of methods where hardware and electric circuitry arefixed early and are robust enough to allow agile development of the software.

    Advantages/disadvantages: This method commits in sequenced fashion, mechanical,electronic and finally software elements. This is especially advantageous as variation needs can be met by software changes that can easily and rapidly be made.
