James Morse:

"The only sustainable competitive advantage lies in maneuvering the competition innovatively."

A company's turnover or profit comes directly from innovation and not from optimization. Wealth is thus not gained by perfecting existing knowledge, but by not perfectly grasping opportunities in the unknown.

Strategy for successful innovation:

• Strategic orientation
• Needs assessment and idea generation
• Selection and evaluation
• Research and development program planning
• Product development
• Production preparation
• Production start-up
• Market launch

Why fault diagnosis and fault monitoring?

• Without countermeasures, faults result in malfunctions and failures in a shorter or longer period of time
• Monitoring should serve to avoid the disturbances and failures as far as possible

The monitoring of technical processes serves to:

• indicate the current process state
• report undesired or unauthorized process states
• initiate appropriate measures

System monitoring with fault diagnosis allows the following improvements:

• Early detection of small errors
• Fault diagnosis with indication of fault location, fault size and fault cause
• Prevention of error propagation through early countermeasures
• Preventive maintenance or maintenance on demand
• Remote diagnosis with modern communication tools
• Improved depth of inspection during quality control

Sequence of hardware and software development:

• Feasibility analysis
• Creation of a hardware and software concept
• Estimating the costs for hardware and software development
• Timing of hardware and software development
• Execution of hardware and software development

Hardware:

• Circuit development
• Circuit layout
• Simulation
• Validation and verification

Software:

• Software design
• Algorithm development
• Validation and verification

Product / competition analysis:

The analysis of the market or the existing product program with regard to functions, components, quality, price and costs is an important basis for strategic product planning.
