Industrial automation is evolving rapidly, with smarter machines, interconnected systems, and autonomous processes transforming manufacturing and production landscapes. Alongside these advances comes the challenge of meeting increasingly complex safety and regulatory requirements, such as ISO 13849, IEC 61508, and Machinery Directive compliance. To maintain competitiveness while ensuring safety, industrial automation leaders are turning to Saphira AI—an innovative platform that automates compliance workflows and accelerates certification readiness.
Automating Risk Assessments and Hazard Identification
Saphira AI revolutionizes how safety risks are identified and assessed. Automation leaders can quickly import existing risk assessments or enter hazards manually, then leverage Saphira’s AI-powered “Infer Field” feature to automatically analyze hazards against relevant industry standards. This ensures consistent and accurate risk evaluations, even for complex industrial systems, helping teams identify critical issues without delay.
Streamlined Safety Case Generation for Complex Standards
Building a safety case that satisfies global regulatory bodies is a time-consuming endeavor. Saphira simplifies this by automatically generating comprehensive safety cases from your risk assessments, control measures, and safety functions. The platform creates traceability matrices linking hazards, safety goals, standards clauses, and verification evidence, all formatted for regulatory submissions including CE Mark and UL certifications. This automation drastically reduces documentation effort and supports faster regulatory approvals.
Comprehensive Verification and Validation
Validation of safety functions is crucial for industrial automation compliance. Saphira generates detailed test plans aligned with standards such as ISO 13849, including multi-level testing from unit to system validation and fault injection scenarios. Executable test code templates and continuous integration support enable automated test execution and real-time compliance monitoring. Industrial leaders benefit from visibility into test coverage and gap analysis, ensuring no aspect of safety validation is overlooked.
Intelligent Access to Regulatory Knowledge
Keeping pace with evolving standards can be overwhelming. SaphiraGPT, the platform’s AI-driven chatbot, delivers instant, context-aware answers drawn from your uploaded standards and regulations. This feature enables safety engineers and compliance teams to query specific requirements, trace related clauses, and clarify complex regulations quickly, reducing delays and supporting informed decision-making.
Integrated Configuration Management and Traceability
Saphira provides robust configuration management tools that allow teams to create, update, and track requirements with full version history and relationship visualization. Integration with GitLab notifies stakeholders immediately when requirements or associated documents change, maintaining alignment across development and compliance activities. Parameterized data flows seamlessly into simulations and tests via an open-source Python library, creating a dynamic and traceable link between design, validation, and certification.
Driving Efficiency and Confidence in Industrial Safety
Industrial automation leaders adopting Saphira AI are gaining a competitive edge by accelerating compliance workflows while maintaining rigorous safety standards. Automation of hazard analysis, safety case generation, and verification activities frees teams to focus on innovation rather than paperwork. The platform’s transparent traceability and evidence management build confidence with regulatory bodies and internal stakeholders alike, enabling faster time-to-market for safer industrial automation solutions.
