Safety Platforms

How to write a safety concept?

We can consult, guide, and support you in a close partnership to analyze your system and write the safety concept.

Which safety measures do I need?

When defining a particular situation's safety measures, we can help with our solid background in safety development.

How can I achieve a SIL afterward?

When you start without a safety concept, we can help your team with a Gap Analysis. It describes the activities or changes you need to get your wanted safety capability.

How do I choose the self-tests?

The diagnostic coverage of your system is the key. We can help you in specifying the right collection and timing of required self-tests.

A dedicated small microcontroller running the small safety part of an application is the traditional way of separation.

During our service Safety Mentoring, we can help to choose a matching device from the safety perspective.

For microcontrollers including a hardware memory protection unit, it's possible to separate different safety capabilities on a single device.

We provide the real-time kernel Flexible Safety RTOS and the application framework Partitioning System for this kind of separation.

For processors, providing support for virtual peripherals, it's efficient to separate complete operating systems with a hypervisor.

We offer a highly efficient type-0 hypervisor in the security system builder MOSA.ic for usage in safety and security products.

When all separation methods are not suitable for your product, it's possible to improve the safety capability of a software component.

With Component Tailoring, we can analyze and lift the safety capability of a software component to the required level.

With the Flexible Safety RTOS, we provide a pre-certified real-time operating system for safety and security products. Its deterministic behavior is guaranteed, and the memory protection hardware unit is handled by the kernel to get the same interface on all architectures.

Safety standards force the application to check the program execution flow, the runtime consumption, and the integrity of communication. We provide the Safety Addons hardware and RTOS independent component for exactly these requirements.

For the aerospace market, the Partitioning System is a smart solution for separating multiple applications in time and space without virtualization. It is inspired by the ARINC653 phase scheduler. This component allows the usage of any microcontroller with a hardware memory protection unit.

With MOSA.ic, we offer a virtualization solution with a minimal footprint for processors with a hardware virtualization unit for peripherals. This system is well prepared for safety and security systems in the automotive and aerospace market.

Integrating multiple software components on new hardware platforms can result in a challenge. With our in-depth embedded knowledge, we can help with the Integration Service to improve the speed and quality of the integrated platform.

If a component from Embedded Office didn't match the requirement exactly, with the Component Tailoring we offer individual adjustments to avoid unnecessary trade-offs at the beginning of a project.

When you need to update software in the field, we can support you in developing a bootloader that fulfills your specific needs. In addition, we master several communication lines and security mechanisms.

In the case of selecting open-source components, we provide technical integration into your product. Furthermore, regarding open-source licenses, we can help to avoid common pitfalls.

When using multiple pre-certified components, you must consider all Safety Manuals. We can help you in harmonizing the Safety Manuals into a single source of guidance.

You can use already existing in-house software components in safety projects, too. We can provide an efficient path for the pre-certification of such elements out of context.

All used components of a safety platform must fulfill your specific safety capabilities. We provide services for the required verification activities and needed analysis documents.

If you intend to use the resulting safety platform multiple times, it may be useful to achieve a pre-certification for the whole safety platform. We can prepare and manage the assessment with your chosen authority.

All used components of a safety product are subject to functional safety management. We can consult and guide you with our Safety Mentoring through safety monitoring, tracking, and regulatory needs.

For all Embedded Office components, we perform obligatory functional safety management. We can provide a so-called Maintenance Report, which includes all detected problems, workarounds, and fixes.

In case your safety platform should grow with new features or adjustments to new hardware platforms, you will receive all source files to perform these changes. We can consult and guide your team through the needed activities.

To achieve the optimized usage of the safety platform in your project, we offer individual project workshops with your application development team. This kind of workshop treats to make the best fitting application architecture.
