Complex systems developed by OEMs combine electronics, hydraulics, mechanical components and sub-systems comprising thousands of moving parts. The greater the complexity of the system, the harder it is to identify potential technical risks/hazards. Additionally, buyers are now transferring the financial risk of operating and maintaining equipment and safety considerations back to the OEM through Service Level Performance (SLP) contracts. As a result, OEMs must accurately predict support costs during the design phase to avoid significant variances in actual support costs and profitability.
By leveraging a model based Safety and Reliability tool, the development of the system model including component costs, access, and the need for special tools on site can be used to identify alternative equipment configuration and reuse core components and sub-systems models for the development of derivative designs.
Our Reliability and System Safety solution greatly simplifies this complex process by automatically generating and mapping dependencies from product architectures and structures maintained through PLM. This enables engineering to “design their products for support” rather than rely on experiences of support engineers and fielded product feedback. Benefits include the of optimizing productivity, speed and performance, as well as improving safety The result is increased system reliability and decreased maintenance/and logistics footprint with predicable cost of ownership that helps achieve zero unplanned downtime and zero harm.
