Functional safety

Safety is top priority in the process of producing ambitious, high-grade machines and components. Especially for control systems nothing should be left to chance.

During planning and development mistakes in single stages must be avoided. This can only be achieved by ensuring high quality processes.

Aspects of Functional Safety have to be considered from the beginning. An economic way has to be found in the realization of these requirements, taking into account the relevant standards (DIN EN IEC 61508 DIN EN 13849, ISO 26262 etc.). Systematic errors should be avoided as far as possible. Furthermore, reasonable random failures are to be mastered.
