Originally Recorded November 12, 2024 | 11 AM - 12 PM ET
ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
As industrial and robotics systems grow in complexity, achieving and certifying safety-critical applications can be a daunting process. This session introduces the Intel / QNX Functional Safety Platform, a unified solution designed to simplify development and accelerate safety certification to IEC 61508. By combining Intel's safety capable processors with QNX's real-time operating system for safety, developers gain access to an integrated hardware-software foundation that ensures robust, reliable, and standards-compliant safety systems. This platform provides a streamlined approach to building safety-critical applications, ensuring that all components - from processor to operating system - work cohesively to meet stringent safety requirements. Learn about how you can leverage this safety platform to simplify the design and certification process of your next-generation safety systems.
Key Takeaways:
- Simplified Development: Learn how the Intel QNX Functional Safety Platform streamlines the design and development of safety-critical systems by offering a unified hardware-software foundation.
- Accelerated Safety Certification: Understand how the platform helps speed up the certification process for standards like IEC 61508 by integrating safety-certified components from Intel and QNX.
- Robust and Reliable Systems: Discover how the platform ensures the creation of robust, reliable, and standards-compliant safety systems, where all components—from processors to the real-time operating system—work cohesively.
- Unified Hardware-Software Solution: Gain insight into the benefits of using a pre-integrated solution that reduces the complexity of combining safety-certified hardware and software.
- Advanced Safety Capabilities: Explore how Intel's safety-capable processors and QNX's real-time operating system for safety can enhance the safety and reliability of next-generation industrial and robotics systems.
