This white paper describes using the OEMx tool to document an application of a complex integrated circuit and predict a set of reliability metrics for functional safety. OEMx allows for the entry of the product architecture with its internal sections, potential deviations (failure modes) for each section, and mitigations for…

In this webinar, Dr. Steve Gandy discusses how adopting an integrated life cycle approach to risk and process safety can enhance your operational performance. Process safety focuses on minimizing the likelihood of hazardous releases, such as hydrocarbon leaks that may result in fires or explosions, as well as toxic emissions. The equipment utilized to mitigate these risks, particularly control systems and safety instrumented systems, plays a crucial role. It is essential that safety instrumented systems are designed, installed, and maintained effectively to minimize the potential for serious accidents. Additionally, the selection and implementation of control equipment must be conducted with care, highlighting the importance of functional safety, which specifically pertains to the equipment under control, especially the safety instrumented systems.
In this webinar, we examine Bespoke Systems and discuss the application of standard IEC 61511 in this context. We will explore how to select the appropriate standard, implement an assessment project effectively while minimizing errors and rework. The market for functional safety standards is expanding, with significant adoption across various countries and industries. In some regions, compliance with standard IEC 61511 is mandatory for equipment such as turbines to obtain operational approval. Consequently, organizations must demonstrate that their deployed systems effectively manage risks. Safety professionals involved in these operations must be capable of executing projects efficiently. These standards facilitate communication across different industries and applications, which is beneficial in this context. We also explore various verification and validation methods commonly employed, assessing their coverage of the safety lifecycle.

With the growing cybersecurity requests to product and service providers, selecting the right standards for developing a security program has never been more critical. But considering the time involved with developing this program, organizations don’t want to pick just any standard, it is important to select the standard that is best aligned with the field the organization is working in, its goals, and its organizational needs. Two standards that are often referenced in industrial and building cybersecurity are NIST 800-53 and IEC 62443. This webinar will provide an overview of both standards, a comparison of the two standards, as well as the benefits and potential shortcomings for each, so that you can be confident on the best path forward for your organization.

After many years of experience at exida, we still see FMEDA projects going overbudget with schedule delay. The main reason is often lack of needed information needed to finish the FMDA task. We started using the functional FMEDA approach some years ago as that method deals with changes, updates, and new designs much better than the old direct approach. However, to really get things done on budget and on schedule we started using an information tool, ARCHx. This information can be gathered as part of a modified DFMEA which we call DDMA but can also be done independently. This webinar describes the functional FMEDA approach, lists the information needed to do this type of FMEDA, and shows how that information can be optimally gathered / documented.
