OEMx reduces the conflict by helping to reduce time to market and reduce development cost while likely improving safety & reliability. This is done by providing a next generation integrated set of easy-to-use tools to support design verification for systems/products. These tools have built-in Knowledge Bases that speedup each task. Any task in the process which does not provide high value per hour is eliminated. From Requirements Entry and Tracking to Validation Testing, OEMx tools can streamline the new product development process.
REQxTM, part of the OEMxTM product line from exida, is used to enter requirements from different sources, define the associated validation test objectives and trace the bi-direction linkage demonstrating complete test coverage. The tool also provides a set of features available in the entire suite including Action Item editor, requirements to implementation linkage, and report generators to create needed reports.
FMEDAxTM, part of the OEMxTM product line from exida, can be used to analyze the impact of component failure modes and perform quantitative analysis of products and subsystems to predict safety and reliability performance metrics as required by the IEC 61508 family of standards.
ARCHxTM, part of the OEMxTM product line from exida, can be used to perform system / subsystem / product architecture analysis to document the design, evaluate the impact of potential design faults in hardware and/or software (FMEA), identify potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and document methods to avoid design faults.
exida provides the ARCHxTM tool for performing architectural design analysis FMEA or Cybersecurity Threat Analysis techniques. Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA) is also optimally done within the ARCHx tool. The architecture design hierarchy is created and displayed with the proven tree structure. Failure modes and recommended mitigations are automatically provided from the exida Knowledge Base. Approved mitigations automatically generate new requirements. Integration test objectives can be created while in context. ARCHx design knowledge is directly connected to other design tools including FMEDAx to pre-populate FMEDA input, again saving time and deducing design errors.
Learn MoreThe exida FMEDAx™ Tool is used to perform and document a detailed component level FMEDA on a System or Subsystem consisting of electrical, mechanical, or sensor components. The FMEDAx tool accepts the functional failure mode data from ARCHx and allows faster and more accurate subsystem/device failure prediction. Designers save time and discover design issues early in the design process.
Learn MoreThe exida CRD helps you generate the most accurate safety & reliability predictions possible, leading to better design decisions. The comprehensive data set undergoes rigorous calibration against field failure data and is updated regularly. Information on useful life, failure modes / distributions, impact of soft error rates, packaging, operating environment, etc. is included in the standard data set; this eliminates the need for you to search for / fill in missing data. The Environmental Profile Editor is also available to allow the failure data / useful life to be customized for specific situations.
Learn Moreexida provides the REQxTM tool to capture and manage requirements with expert knowledge support. Each requirement has an attribute and status. Requirements can be entered hierarchically to show more detail as the design progresses. Full tracing can be done to show related validation test objectives and design implementation units. With a direct connection to ARCHx and FMEDAx, new requirements derived from design analysis can be quickly created without leaving the context of OEMx – reducing time spent and lost requirements.
Learn Moreexida provides training to allow our potential tool users to rapidly understand the tools and methodologies used. Training is available in person on-site as well as internet based. Customized versions are available.
