Abstract. Mechatronic systems represent the backbone of technological evolution in the automotive industry, providing intelligent, integrated, and efficient solutions for the increasingly complex demands of modern vehicles. This article explores the current developments and future perspectives in the use and management of mechatronic systems, highlighting emerging trends such as automation and extended connectivity. The integration of mechanical, electronic, and software components leads to performance optimization, increased safety, and improved user experience.
As vehicles become increasingly autonomous, the management of mechatronic systems takes on strategic importance, requiring agile and predictive management models supported by artificial intelligence and big data. At the same time, challenges related to cybersecurity, interoperability, and standardization necessitate a rethinking of traditional development and implementation paradigms. The article provides an analysis of the current state of these systems, with relevant examples from the industry, and proposes research and innovation directions to ensure long-term adaptability and sustainability.
Therefore, mechatronics in the automotive field is no longer merely a technological discipline, but a key pillar in the managerial strategy of companies striving to remain competitive in a constantly evolving environment.
