Expertise and Offerings
CS Group Canada has a thorough command of complex regulatory frameworks and ensures their rigorous application to guarantee the safety and reliability of equipment. We work particularly with critical safety standards in mining and industrial environments.
Our functional safety and RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) experts are proficient in the following standards: IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO 26262, ISO 19014, ISO 15998, ISO 25119, and ISO 10218, as well as cybersecurity (IEC 62443) and autonomous machinery guidelines.
Our expertise enables us to meet the stringent requirements of the sector, thereby contributing to the safety and performance of systems under challenging operating conditions.
Our services encompass the implementation and adherence to essential industry standards such as ISO 19014, ISO 15998, and ISO 13849, customizing functional safety and reliability strategies to meet the specific requirements of each project.
We ensure that every system complies with the highest standards of safety and performance, particularly in demanding environments such as mining and industrial sites.
We support our clients in developing robust safety management systems aligned with industry best practices, promoting a continuous improvement approach to safety protocols. We also implement incident tracking tools and facilitate the establishment of effective corrective actions (such as FRACAS).
Our experts rely on key standards like ISO 13849, ISO 19014, and ISO 26262 to ensure high levels of safety and reliability.
In addition, we conduct the following safety and reliability analyses:
- Risk Analyses: Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA), System Safety Hazard Analysis (SSHA), Interface Hazard Analysis (IHA), and Operational Hazard Analysis (OHA)
- Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
- Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) at the system and software levels
- Corrective action tracking and validation of safety measures (Hazard Log)
- Final Safety Case
- Predictive reliability analyses to anticipate failures (RMAP)
Our consultants conduct in-depth hazard analyses, risk assessments, and safety audits to identify and mitigate potential threats and vulnerabilities within off-highway systems. Through this approach, we ensure enhanced protection and optimal equipment reliability in demanding operating environments.
We offer turnkey product development or reverse engineering services remotely for critical embedded systems and off-road machinery control centers. With over 200 engineers in North America, our offshore capabilities, and the global expertise of more than 60,000 employees, we provide flexible models tailored to your needs, including technical support, fixed-price services, or turnkey contracts.
This training is specifically aimed at developers, testers, project managers, and quality representatives involved in the development of safety-critical electronic systems for off-road machinery.
It is designed to introduce participants to the safety lifecycle of systems, covering the essential steps to ensure functional safety and compliance with industry standards.
