The article discusses approaches and methods to engineering design in light of INDUSTRY 4.0 technology. Versions of serial and parallel design are described. An analysis of end-to-end design in accordance with INDUSTRY 4.0 technologies is presented, the advantages of this approach to creating complex mechanical engineering facilities are shown. These examples show a reduction in resources and time to develop new design objects. So the use of Wave technology in design allows you to reduce the cost of engineering personnel by 66%, increase iterative procedures while reducing the time of design procedures, reduce the number of elements of the system, without reducing its reliability.
