The complexity comes from the number of integration of functions in a single product. Mechatronizability, which is the ability of the degree of mechatronics of a system, is a remarkable characteristic for designers to decide the level of complexity at the design stage of multifunctional products. The concern is therefore to estimate the multifunctional degree of a mechatronic product. After the description and analysis of a mechatronic system, two methodological approaches are proposed based on three metric models: the functional integration indicator which reflects the degree of collaboration of components in the realization of functions of a product. The functional complexity indicator which reflects the level of interpenetration between the elements belonging to the different domains existing in each of the product functions. The functional dematerialization indicator which measures the degree of integration of electronic "E", computer "I" and automatic "A" areas in a product. These indicators have been applied to a hydraulic pump. The designer will now have to know the mechatronizability of a product to decide on its degree of intelligence. Keywords: Metrics, Product Design, Mechatronic Evaluation, Mechatronizability, Functional Analysis Introduction The birth of mechatronics can be considered a revolution for the industrial world. The use of these systems quickly became widespread and now influences almost all sectors of industry today. The term mechatronics responds to the need to define an industrial activity for the development of hybrid products that integrate, in an advanced and hitherto unseen way, technologies that have been used separately until now. It defines design engineering as aimed at the synergistic integration of mechanics, electronics, automation, and computer science in the design and manufacture of a product to increase and/or optimize its functionality (Leonida, 2017). Mechatronics is also promoted as a technology that reduces costs and increases the added value of the product by increasing its functionality. In the light of the literature, two currents of thought are observed. The mechatronics trend that aims to design and manufacture integrated products has continued to develop to the point that nowadays the scope of mechatronics covers many of our everyday or industrial objects and includes for example the development of the Internet of Things (Ajah et al., 2015). The Internet of Things has been identified as a very high-growth sector very shortly. Indeed, these commonly used products offer a very wide spectrum of functional services. Mechatronics, on the other hand, is studied from several perspectives: Ontology development aspects for collaborative engineering are studied by (Damjanović et al., 2007) and also touch on transdisciplinary education (Pop and Măties, 2010), emphasizing the need for professional training throughout a mechatronics pathway and specific problem-solving methods as levers for success (Pop et al. 2010). Connected objects, (Ajah et al., 2015) that integrate into physical systems also present an important part of the research as well as the reliability of mechatronic systems (Demri, 2009). Mechatronics is therefore essential to the industry of the future and consequently to the factory of the future since without mechatronics there would be no intelligence or connectivity between machines. Moreover, companies both supply and use mechatronic technology solutions. It is, therefore, appropriate to study how companies that produce and market these products are organized. It is still necessary to find a population of companies that allows concrete and precise targeting (Fradi et al., 2021). Yet another trend concerns metrics for modeling mechatronic design processes (Bonjour et al., 2009; Bonjour and Micaelli, 2009), facilitating the evaluation of
