“…The latter are complex System-of-Systems (SoS) (Maier 1998) referred to as Product Service Systems (PSS), where the physical product is part of a much larger entity, consisting of other physical products as well as information systems, providing "capabilities" and "services" beyond the scope of the functionality of a single product (Fakhfakh 2020). Capabilities can be summarized as "the power or ability to do something" and are attributed to systems or SoS (Martin et al 2022). Capabilities are central to SoS as integrated systems form the foundation for the overall emerging SoS capabilities.…”

“…To formulate a unified framework, a core ontology is presented for Construction Equipment. A core ontology centralizes knowledge by anchoring it in well-defined concepts in the domain (Martin et al 2023). The presented core ontology is an enabler for a common architecture realized through the increased opportunities for collaboration and communication.…”

There is ongoing digital transformation in many industrial contexts including non‐digital hardware‐intensive domains such as heavy construction equipment machinery. This transformation is augmented by the latest technologies, increasing sustainability regulations, as well as integrated customer needs. This paradigm shift is causing transformation of current product‐centric business models towards complex business models enabled by so‐called Product Service Systems (PSS) offering advanced “capabilities” and “services”. However, the development of PSSs requires a holistic approach to unify underlying solution domains such as mechatronic systems, embedded software control as well as information systems. In this paper, we describe a holistic “unified” architecture description methodology towards aligning the underlying domain‐specific design and development contexts. The framework, developed in construction domain, consists of two main parts: a minimalistic reference model as the “common language” for cross‐functional stakeholder communication; a modeling methodology based on existing standard modeling frameworks. We illustrate the methodology using examples from the construction equipment domain.
