For engineering change, the opportunities offered by the use of new materials are important, and a possibility of integrating mechatronic components and systems into the existing products arises.
Smart items (electronics, software, materials) integrated into the existing product offer new features and capabilities to the user.
A very important point to engineering change is to apply a new design of materials and mechatronic systems to forming the base for increasing the effectiveness of this phenomena.
