Why is Functional Safety so relevant?
Functional Safety is a term that covers many safety aspects within Machine and Process facilities. It is a systematic way of finding the right safety level for a Machine or a Process plant. This is based on process handling, the identification of risks, calculation and visualization of the measures that can be taken to counter this risk.
With Functional Safety solutions, you can protect human life, the environment, as well as the company assets and image.
The reason for the present legal requirements and standards – that exist today – is because accidents happen!

EVENT ARRANGØR
Om DotBlue
Som arrangør af dette event, ønsker vi at gøre op med en ofte manglende forståelse eller mangel på sikkerhedsstandarder indenfor maskin- og procesindustrien.
Lavt prioritering, manglende løsningsforslag eller vanskeligheder med at forstå procedurer samt myndighedernes krav. Derudover opererer nogle virksomheder med overkvalificeret sikkerhedsløsninger, der kræver unødvendig og dyr vedligeholdelse. På grund af manglende eller ikke eksisterende sikkerhedsstandarder / procedurer kan ulykker opstå, ulykker, der let kunne have været forhindret.
At samle eksperter fra førende virksomheder, gør os i stand til at fremhæve de emner, der præsenterer de største udfordringer for slutbrugerne. I samarbejde med eksperter og myndigheder vil vi svare på spørgsmål og bidrage med værktøjer til løsninger, som deltagerne kan bringe hjem til deres virksomheder.
DotBlue stræber efter at gøre Functional Safety håndgribelig og sætter vigtigheden i fokus!
