It allows for an evaluation of the individual's gaze and other related information.There is a wide variety of application areas for eye tracking, however the usage in engineeringindustry is still limited. This paper presents a case study for the use of eye tracking in a testingstation for electrical circuit breakers. The case study aims to evaluate the measurement and analysispossible with the Tobii wearable eye tracking system. From the case study, possibilities, limitationsand considerations for eye tracking in industrial settings are identified and discussed. The paperconcludes that while eye tracking can be used to effectively capture and visualize insightfulinformation, it faces major challenges related to subjectivity in analysis and labour intensiveness.}, language = {en} } @article{OcakciNiemannDraghici2025, author = {Ocakci, Elif and Niemann, J{\"o}rg and Draghici, George}, title = {A Method to Evaluate the Life Cycle Sustainability Value of Alternative Solution Designs}, series = {Acta Technica Napocensis; Series: Applied Mathematics, Mechanics and Engineering}, volume = {68}, journal = {Acta Technica Napocensis; Series: Applied Mathematics, Mechanics and Engineering}, number = {1S}, publisher = {Technical University of Cluj-Napoca}, issn = {2393-2988}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-58290}, pages = {277 -- 284}, year = {2025}, abstract = {The paper focuses on developing an integrative methodology to evaluate environmental, economic, and social sustainability of alternative solution design options.

At the same time, development cycles are becoming ever shorter and the requirements for safety, conformity and sustainability ever higher. In this article, a meta-analysis is carried out on the possibility of integrating sustainability aspects as requirements in a systems engineering approach and the differences are discussed. Methodology/approach - A systematic literature search of articles in ScienceDirect between 2016 and 2023 is carried out. The keywords are sustainability and system engineering incl. synonyms. In a further step, the papers are screened for their relevance to product service systems and the relevance for the purpose. Findings - To address sustainability in complex technical systems, a holistic, model-based approach is required to ensure that sustainability aspects are considered. By using frameworks and methods such as macPro² and SysLM, requirements and indicators for sustainability can be integrated into the development phase, whereas currently only the environmental dimension is usually considered via resource and energy indicators. Research limitations/implications - In order to achieve a complete picture, additional databases must be considered and research results from ongoing projects must be awaited.}, subject = {Systemtechnik}, language = {en} } @article{NiemannBassonFusseneckeretal.2018, author = {Niemann, J{\"o}rg and Basson, A. and Fussenecker, Claudia and Kruger, K. and Schl{\"o}sser, M. and Turek, S. and Amarnath, H.
