On the other hand, to develop products for industrial use requires a different set of tools and methods than the ones employed by the design of consumer goods. The existing methods for mechatronic design in general does not focus on industrial product specifically, or provides just an overview of the process for a generic mechatronic product, without focusing on tools and activities. Our proposal integrates the Task Clarification and Conceptual design phases providing an iterative procedure to the design of mechatronic industrial products. The core of this proposal is the use of Use Case Diagrams to provide information necessary to requirements definition, functional modelling and solution principles establishment. To evaluate the proposed method, it was employed on the development of an Automated Vehicle for Railroad Inspection, a maintenance task regularly performed to guarantee the railroad safety. It was observed the viability of the proposal to obtain the desired information from Use Case Diagrams.  \nKeywords: Mechatronics, Design methodology, Early design phases, Functional modelling  \nContact:  \nDr. Régis Kovacs Scalice  \nUFSC Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Mobility Engineering Department  \nBrazil  \n[regis.scalice@ufsc.br](regis.scalice@ufsc.br)  \nPlease cite this paper as:  \nSurnames, Initials: Title of paper.

(2007) and Ulrich and Eppinger (2004) usually rely on interviews and surveys to obtain information necessary to clarify the design task. These procedures are welcome for projects involving consumer goods and really new technology based products, with high levels of uncertainty level. On the other hand, in practice, there is a wide range of situations where these tools will provide little benefit. It includes, but not restricted to, a series of mechanical, electromechanical and mechatronic products, designed to perform industrial tasks, usually produced ina very small scale when compared to consumer goods. The observed practice for these situations is to adapt the existing design methods providing a mixture with the activities from Task Clarification and Conceptual Design phases, frequently in an informal way.  \nNevertheless, as we observed on our literature review, mechatronic design methodologies do not explicitly provide the design tools needed to clarify the task and develop de product concept, focusing on the methodological overall process. Thus, with only one exception, these methodologies do not deals with the context of design of technology based (industrial) products.  \nSo, it is our main goal to provide a method, including a procedure and design tools, to support the design of mechatronic products for industrial applications. The reason for using mechatronic design instead of traditional design methodologies as basis for the method presented on this paper falls on the complexity of this sort of products, usually based on two or more axes of the mechatronic knowledge.  \n2 LITERATURE REVIEW  \nIn an overview of the literature review, we observed that the majority of the studied methods focus on the integration among different knowledge and professionals dealing with the development of amechatronic product.
