Block diagrams for system modeling

Challenge

When your system loses structure and clarity

In product development, it is crucial that all departments have access to a common understanding of the system. Without this common foundation, information gaps, additional work, and unnecessary risks arise.

No uniform system overview: Departments document in isolation, resulting in a lack of a coherent overall picture.
High maintenance effort: Information is maintained multiple times or is not currently available.
Lack of transparency: The relationships between requirements, functions, and structures are difficult to understand.
Delayed project start: New team members find it difficult to fit into existing structures.
Lack of coordination: Cross-disciplinary collaboration is hampered by different documentation approaches.
Unclear decisions: Without reliable system mapping, there is no sound basis for decision-making.

Without a central, graphical model, you risk inefficient development processes and error-prone interfaces, which can have a direct impact on quality, costs, and market launch.

Solution

Block diagrams provide clarity in the development process

With our tool, you can create block diagrams that clearly illustrate the mechanical, electrical, and functional aspects of a system. All stakeholders can access up-to-date system information without any special modeling knowledge.

Clearly structured visualization: Build system designs directly in your web browser in a visual, hierarchical, and easy-to-understand way.
Uniform system representation: All disciplines work on a common model, thus gaining a networked understanding.
Aspect-oriented modeling: Depending on the subject area, you can display mechanical, electronic, or safety-related content as needed.
Integrate data flow diagrams: If necessary, you can visualize simple data flows in the system model.
Seamless integration: Use the system structure as a starting point for requirements management, FMEA, or risk analysis.
Easy to use: Drag-and-drop, structured directories, and automatic visualization make it easy to use.
Standard-compliant working: Modeling according to the recognized SysML standard ensures future-proofing and compatibility.

Bring structure and clarity to your system development and ensure more efficient processes, better coordination, and shorter development times with our block diagram software.
