As the primary purpose of an FMEDA is to predict a set of reliability metrics for use in safety function verification, it is critically important that the impact of design choices within the device are properly reflected in the FMEDA analysis. Perhaps the most critical design choice impacting FMEDA is…
With the publication of ISO/PAS 8800 in December of 2024, the certification space for AI models in automotive applications is being defined.
From the training of one Neural Network (NN) to an integrated vehicle, there are different stakeholders throughout the design process: the vehicle integrators, NN model developers, and toolchain suppliers.
In this webinar we will go over which standards are relevant for different stakeholders and what assessment and certification routes can be applicable to each stakeholder.
exida's Patrick O'Brien will be presenting a webinar for Food Engineering on May 6th. Below are the details: Fortifying Food Production: Automation and the Critical Role of Cybersecurity Food manufacturers face many challenges, including maintaining quality, managing labor shortages and sustaining the safety of their products, workforce and facilities. How…
