Mechatronic devices are nowadays of high significance in various economic branches. The successful integration of the three disciplines mechanics, electronics and software-technique is a permanent challenge for product development processes, especially during the integrative phases, where the product and the involved specialists are often geographically separated. However, to achieve efficient product development, there is a special need for methods and technologies to establish distributed cooperation. Yet, this results in a special challenge as direct interaction with the device under development is executed from remote locations. This thesis develops a framework for efficient cooperation in the integrative phases of mechatronic product development processes in consideration of the existing special boundary conditions. The framework contains solutions for interpersonal- and inter-tool-communication as well as a model for efficient and safe handling of remote interactions.
