Future-oriented logistics security application (FOLSA)

Problem definition

  • Conventional safety controllers are only designed for high safety levels SIL 3 (in accordance with IEC 61508) or PLe (in accordance with EN ISO 13849).
  • High cost, space and energy requirements.
  • High cost and time requirements for recertification in the event of adaptations.
  • This means that they cannot be used in applications with a low total investment volume (e.g. crane systems).

Solution approach

  • Separation of safety-critical and non-critical components.
  • Use of the certified hardware safety module for various applications in different areas (logistics, automotive, industrial and medical).
  • Easier adaptation of non-safety-relevant components.
  • Connection to unsafe technologies by means of a non-safety-related module.
  • Compact size with minimal costs.
