The functional safety lifecycle management audit is a mechanism used to help reduce systematic problems from appearing in the design of a product. In the case of the manufacturing process, the quality ...

Functional safety standards are designed to help influence the reduction of potential risks of physical injury to people and property damage due to product failures within the end product application ...

The focus on functional safety IP is rapidly growing and we’re seeing this growth not just in automotive but in many other markets including, avionics, medical, industrial and railways, where systems ...

Functional safety engineers follow the ISA/IEC 61511 standard and perform calculations based on random hardware failures. These result in very low failure probabilities, which are then combined with ...

In the 1980’s, the use of programmable electronic components such as microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors in industrial control systems began to grow. The International Electrotechnical ...

Increasingly stringent safety regulations (for example, the emerging IEC 61508 standard) are driving expansion in the market for machine safety products and technologies. As demand increases for ...

Accidents continue to occur in many manufacturing facilities, even those where safety systems and other safety protections have been installed. A study conducted by the Health and Safety Executive in ...

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) will be the culmination of dozens of highly complex systems, incorporating state-of-the-art technologies in electronics hardware, sensors, software, and more. Conceiving and ...

Where functional safety risks need to be controlled, relying solely on EMC testing is inadequate, no matter how high the test levels are cranked up. Further, many engineers and project managers are ...

“MSS and AsInt are very excited to be able to introduce the discipline of Safety Lifecycle Management to the global SAP user base,” Steve Whiteside, President of Mangan Software, said. "Using MSS's ...
