As machines grow more complex and interconnected, functional safety standards and intuitive human-machine interfaces become ...

To a machine designer, “stay safe” is not just a cheerful slogan or wishful thinking. Operator safety is a central design issue. The international standard, ISO 12100:2010 Safety of machinery – ...

Functional safety engineers follow the ISA/IEC 61511 standard and perform calculations based on random hardware failures. These result in very low failure probabilities, which are then combined with ...

Nowadays, most hardware development projects deploy functional verification flows that include UVM-based constrained-random testbenches and formal verification. High design complexity, tough budget ...

Functional safety issues have long been an important part of product development wherever machine operations that are potentially dangerous for humans are carried out unattended. However, in terms of ...

Battery-powered applications, which have become indispensable over the last decade, require a certain level of protection to ensure safe use. This safety is provided by the battery management system ...

Functional safety accounts for time — to build on existing safety structure (category) approaches. As we explored last month in this article series, accounting for time requires more work from safety ...

The convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) offers a unified view of industrial automation control systems and streamlines communication among personnel and the ...

A power supply unit is one of the most crucial components in an electronics system, as its operation can affect the entire system’s functionality. In the context of ...
