Customer's Challenge
Safety functions had to be implemented according to ISO 13849 to certify the highly mobile ANYmal legged robot for industrial deployment. Internal processes and expertise for and detailed knowledge of functional safety were not established yet.
Outcome
Solcept was able to provide the processes and documentation system for functional safety development.
Thanks to our consulting and guidance during development, the customer was able to build up significant expertise in ISO 13849 on their own.
Implementation
The project benefited from our established and structured processes for development according to ISO 13849 and our profound experience with the Machinery Directive and related harmonized standards. The hardware development used our knowledge of circuit design and PCB layout plus our experience in component reliability and safety analysis.
In addition, we provided the reviews, the verification of conformance to the standard plus the quality assurance as an independent entity for ANYbotics.
Customer
ANYbotics AG, an ETH Zurich spin-off, is the manufacturer of the highly mobile ANYmal walking robot for industrial environments and even explosion-proof applications, such as in the petrochemical industry.
