Blog Entry: Functional Safety Assessments – Why Aren’t They Being Done?
It’s an interesting fact that many end users and engineering companies that I’ve talked to have not or do not undertake Functional Safety Assessments (FSAs). Why is this? My view is that many do not realize and/or understand the true purpose of and benefit of performing FSAs. The IEC61511 standard…
Recorded Webinars: Using FMEDA to Predict Electronic Design Failure Rates
The design of a new product is complex with many tradeoffs - make the design work properly, meet cost targets, and meet production schedules. But some design engineers do not consider another important parameter – how does the design fail?
This webinar explains the FMEDA (Failure Modes Effects and Diagnostic Analysis) methodology created in the late 1980s. The concepts and steps are presented using a simple spreadsheet example. Component Data requirements are presented.

White Paper: Getting Realistic Failure Rate Data
The discipline of Reliability Engineering depends upon a key metric, failure rate. In the past, it was practical to perform a “life test” (or an “accelerated life test”) where devices were operated in a defined set of conditions and failure times were recorded. This failure time data was analyzed to…

Recorded Webinars: The 5 whys in Data Science and Alarm Management
Whenever we talk about alarm data in control systems for the process industry, we cannot avoid the management of an alarm database, else the alarm system will be a mess. Hence, we often see unorganized processes with up to thousands of alarms per day. The mishap is more than a nuisance for the daily operation of the plant, but it is also with safety implications. This is a series of webinars that aims to introduce everyone to Alarm Management based on ISA 18.2/IEC 62682, with the supplement of the fundamentals from Data Science and Data Analytics.
This week, we are talking about the root causes of alarms. We will explore the philosophy of the 5 whys in data analysis and how it is used in alarm management.
