Over the past years, ASML has been taking determined steps toward model-based systems engineering (MBSE), driven by growing system complexity, cost pressure and the need for earlier insight into the impact of design decisions.

Inspired by the multi-company workshops facilitated by TNO-ESI, the litho giant's systems engineers are gradually converging on a shared ambition: moving from isolated models toward a connected digital thread across the full product lifecycle.

“The way we developed our products in the past was mainly supported by adding resources,” says Henning Farthmann, who leads the Design and Engineering Automation program at ASML. "We were basically doing more work with more people. That approach doesn't scale anymore."
