Definitive support for developing necessary security measures
Since the beginning, one of Sector’s primary functions has been helping industry professionals (manufacturers, developers, process industries) to define, evaluate, and certify Safety Integrity Level (SIL), Performance Level (PL), and Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) of their systems, products and processes according to operational security norms of their respective fields. At the product level, this support can be given at the mechanic, mechatronic, electronic, or software level—whether your needs are within nuclear, energy, rail, automotive, aeronautic, defense or other fields.

Comparative Functional Safety Analysis
For their Automated Safety (AS), which functions as a maximum security measure for the CNR’s hydroelectric design, Sector:
● Assessed the functional safety of Automated Safety (in the case of excessive flooding)
● Proposed a decision aid which allowed for functional safety challenges and, in case of failure, allowed for the quantification (improving dependability levels) of design evolution (added redundancy, common mode analysis)
