The FMEDA technique, which was developed in the late 1980’s by engineers now working for exida, is a staple of functional safety engineering because of its effectiveness predicting product safety and reliability metrics. It was created from a need to be able to account for the impact of diagnostics on safety and reliability performance.
The FMEDAx tool from exida embeds 30+ years of real-world experience and expertise from the team that pioneered the technique, to provide the world’s most accurate tool for safety & reliability predictions. It can support detailed hardware design of automation systems in a variety of applications (process industry, industrial equipment / machinery, robotics, medical devices, railway, mining, automotive, etc.).
FMEDAx can take you from schematic to identification of design weaknesses and accurate / defendable failure rate predictions quicker than conventional FMEDA tools; this reduces cost and enables new products to be brought to market faster.
An FMEDA is only as good as the component data used. FMEDAx includes the exida Component Reliability Data (CRD)TM
FMEDAx allows each subsystem to be independently analyzed.
FMEDAx provides all the calculation formulas and rules needed for FMEDA.
FMEDAx provides calculation results for Functional Safety standards – IEC 61508, IEC 61511, IEC 62061, ISO 26262, and ISO 13949
