Safety Lifecycle refers to the systematic approach of managing safety considerations throughout the entire lifecycle of a product or a system. But how is it structured? Let’s break it down with a simple example.👇🏼 Jargon Jive
At its core, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is about managing residual risk. But what exactly does SIL mean, and how is a system designed to meet the appropriate SIL level? Let’s break it down with a simple example.👇🏼 Jargon Jive
A Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) is a protective layer designed to automatically bring a process to a safe state when set conditions are breached. How does it work? Let’s break it down with a simple example.👇🏼 Jargon Jive
A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) implements one or more Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF) using a combination of sensors, logic solvers, and final elements—along with communication and ancillary equipment. But how is SIS different from SIF? And why does this...
You have probably heard of Functional Safety (FuSa), but what does it actually mean? How is it implemented, and why does it matter? 🤔 Let’s break it down with a simple example.👇🏼 Jargon Jive
The term ‘Risk’ is common, but in functional safety, it takes on a unique meaning. What elements constitute a "Risk" in this field? From hazard probabilities to its consequences, we break it down with a compelling example. Dive in 👇 Visual Chronicles...
In the realm of functional safety, assessing the severity of failure modes as safe/dangerous is a critical aspect. But what exactly does it mean for a failure to be classified as safe or dangerous? In this 'Visual Chronicles,' we look at just that with an engaging...
Diagnostic Coverage (DC) measures the fraction of dangerous detected failures in a system. But in practice, predicting all possible manners a function can fail, and developing a diagnostic function that covers them all is challenging. So, how do we go about it? 🤔Join...
Diagnostic coverage plays a vital role in ensuring the reliability and safety of systems by detecting and mitigating failures. Join us as we break down this crucial concept in functional safety with a compelling visual example. Dive in! 🚀 Visual Chronicles -...
Failure Rate, also represented by the Greek symbol lambda - λ, is a fundamental metric that helps us understand how often systems or components might fail over time. This insight is crucial for guiding reliable performance, maintenance planning, and design...
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is a key metric in reliability engineering that tells us how often repairable items fail over time.Understanding MTBF helps in planning maintenance schedules, improving asset availability, and enhancing inventory management.🔍 Want to...
