Overview
Designing agricultural robots that operate safely and meet regulatory expectations is essential for market deployment and stakeholder trust. This service offers a structured risk assessment tailored to autonomous robotic systems in agriculture. It supports manufacturers by:
- Reviewing system architectures and identifying potential points for improvement.
- Reviewing estimation risk levels and appropriate safety integrity targets.
- Ensuring alignment with safety standards such as ISO 18497, ISO 25119, and ISO 13849.
Through a third-party expert perspective, the service strengthens your risk management approach and enhances the credibility of your safety documentation.
More about the service
After using this service, you will have a detailed and structured hazard and risk analysis, reviewed by experts.
Each risk will be evaluated with justified integrity levels, and your team will receive concrete recommendations to improve system safety and documentation. This helps reduce technical risk, enhances your credibility with testing bodies, and supports a faster path to compliance. This service helps improve the safety of agricultural robots by providing a more accurate assessment of risks in accordance with ISO 25119, ISO/PAS 21448, or ISO 13849 standards.
The determined safety integrity levels are more precise, duly justified, and at the optimal level. As a result, the architecture of the robotic system is adapted. It is also at the right level of development. It makes the regulatory compliance of the product take a step forward. For the machine, this means greater reliability and enhanced safety.
For the machine end-users, it clarifies usage risks and hazards in the available technical documentation and operating instructions. Achieving a strong safety image can boost the confidence of customers and business partners. This method can also be applied to enhance the reliability of classic functions, thereby increasing their robustness.
Estimated Duration: 2 to 5 weeks, depending on system complexity and the readiness of documentation.
