Safety Critical Systems

More Efficient Safety-Critical Systems

Digitalization creates the need for more protected and efficient safety-critical systems. Skill and experience are required to mitigate the increasing risks of severe consequences while still managing a high pace of change and development in creating secure and robust systems. This is particularly important as complexity increases alongside system integration, such as in autonomous transport systems.

Our subject matter experts have over 30 years of experience, making us one of Sweden's leading players for both military and civilian systems. We support you throughout the entire development cycle of your safety-critical systems by offering guidance and advice to ensure your systems meet today's and tomorrow's requirements.

Our expertise is applicable across multiple industries with high safety demands, in challenging environments with complex risk contexts. With our support, your safety-, mission-, and business-critical systems will meet today's requirements and tomorrow's challenges.

Success factors

Success in your projects is our end goal, and we believe there are seven factors fundamental to succeeding. By addressing and implementing these, the odds of success when developing critical and complex systems are significantly improved.

The seven factors are:

Safety culture
Understanding on all levels
Cross-domain thinking
Certification credit
End-to-end scope
Safe enough
Safe and secure

Business management

Owing to experience and knowledge, our experts are there to assist you during the adaptation of your existing business processes, or in the introduction of new processes, by formulating effective development methodology, strengthening safety culture and increasing awareness, or otherwise improving capabilities to develop sufficiently safe systems.

We offer a wide range of services to support the development of your processes and methods, whilst ensuring that your systems meet the requirements of today and tomorrow.

Building a safety culture takes time and structure, and we have the experience and know-how to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Together, we also analyse all your operations, based on industry practices, standards or regulations.

System Safety

An integral part of development of technical systems, with the purpose of creating safe products and systems, safety analyses are key to safety-critical systems.

Our experts are up-to-date on the regulations and standards associated with good system-, flight-, and software safety practice, and have extensive experience in safety analysis in the fields of defence, industry and aviation, for national and international operators.

Planning and management

We identify applicable standards, map stakeholder requirements and regulations, and assist you with planning and management of your safety work. Together, we specify requirements and follow-up safety work related to procurement.

Analysis

We perform safety analyses and assessments including causal mapping (FMECA, FTA, HAZOP, etc.) for your systems. Our experts work alongside you during CE marking of your products and systems, and together we address identification, allocation, specification of requirements and verification / validation of safety requirements so you reach an acceptable level of safety.

Our safety analyses and assessments performed based on established standards are summarized and presented to your organization. In light of findings, we will, together with your key personell, prepare a basis for decisions on future development and enhancement of the safety of your systems.

Engineering Quality

For a safety-critical system to be operational, all systems – regardless of system level – must be of high quality and developed in accordance with plans agreed on internally, with the customer, or with the authorities.

Our extensive experience and considerable expertise in achieving sufficient quality in all phases of system development of software-intensive systems makes us an ideal partner for:

Independent Audits and Assessments
System and Software Quality
Quality Planning
Compliance and Certification
Subcontractors Audits

System and Software Engineering

Our experts have extensive experience in the development and maintenance of safety-critical systems - from individual components to larger complex and integrated system solutions. All in accordance with current safety standards.

We have a long history in aviation and defence industry, but as our scope has broadened over time, we have acquired considerable experience from other industries, such as heavy machinery and road vehicles.

Our expertise covers all phases of system development:

Development planning
Concept studies
Requirements management
Architectural principles, design and modelling
Implementation & integration
Testing, analysis, simulation and validation
Tool development and verification
