Mechanical Product System Architecture

From Components to Global Industrial Systems

This system view maps how industrial engineering companies scale from components to complete drive systems and global product ecosystems. It visualizes the layers required to operate an export-ready mechanical product platform: integration logic, documentation governance, enterprise interfaces, information architecture, and a structured data model.

What it visualizes

  • •industry segmentation → application configurations → integrated systems
  • •component ecosystem split by power/control/mechanical layers
  • •version-controlled specs, CAD repository, compliance mapping
  • •enterprise integrations (ERP/PLM/MES/CRM, dealer portals)
  • •SEO + information architecture layer for discoverability
  • •data model (Product, Component, Parameter, Certification, Industry mapping)

Used for

  • •designing product platforms that scale across markets
  • •eliminating documentation drift and integration chaos
  • •building a controllable product + content system, not 'pages'
