Intel & SYSGO: Building a functional Safety-compliant Industry Solution for IEC 61508

Whitepapers, PikeOS, Industrial Automation, IoT, Safety

Intel's and SYSGO's joint whitepaper highlights the critical role of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic (E/E/PE) systems in everyday devices and Safety-critical applications like Automotive ECUs, robotic controllers, and Industrial Automation. It emphasizes the importance of strict Safety standards, such as IEC 61508, to ensure operator protection across industries, which increasingly rely on complex, branch-specific standards.

Furthermore, the whitepaper explores the challenges and solutions for meeting functional Safety requirements, particularly in a robotic arm controller, using a Safety ecosystem built on Intel's Atom® x6000FE processor series and SYSGO’s PikeOS real-time operating system. It underscores how selecting the right components, which integrate Safety, Cybersecurity, and real-time functionality, can reduce time-to-market and investment risks for Safety-critical projects.
