Day 1_Off-Highway
This presentation will discuss the importance of functional safety in system design along with its definition, common functions, risk reduction strategies and classification processes. It will also examine best practices for mitigating systematic errors and ensuring safe operations, along with how EAO’s first certified keypad improves safety and the user experience. Key topics: the role of functional safety in preventing errors and reducing risk; international safety standards such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and ISO 13849; how EAO’s certified keypad enhances safety and operational efficiency.
  • Functional safety: What is it? What do you need to know?
  • What types of applications and functions benefit from functional safety practices?
  • Why is functional safety required? For example, why do manufacturers have to think about functional safety for a particular product?
  • How does functional safety reduce potential risks?
