Challenge

When classic FMEA is no longer sufficient

Even well-established FMEA analyses reach their limits when complex control systems or dynamic production processes are involved. This increases the risk of undetected failures and costly follow-up actions.

  • Hidden failures: Despite classic FMEA, critical risks in the control system often remain undetected.
  • Safety-critical components: Components such as airbags or brake systems have a high probability of failure.
  • Lack of monitoring: Without monitoring, disruptions in the production process are detected too late.
  • High follow-up costs: Production downtime and rework due to unexpected failure consequences put a strain on budgets.
  • Time-consuming documentation: Monitoring and response actions must be maintained separately.
  • Uncertainty with AIAG/VDA: The new requirements and forms are complex and difficult to implement.

Without targeted monitoring and automated system responses, there is an increased risk that safety-critical failures will remain undetected – with a direct impact on your costs, quality, and product safety.

Solution

More control through monitoring and targeted responses

Our solution expands on traditional FMEA with monitoring and system response in accordance with AIAG/VDA. This allows you to monitor critical processes in real time, identify risks early on, and automatically initiate appropriate actions.

  • Early failure detection: You can see critical risks as they arise - before they lead to failures.
  • Rapid risk detection: Constant monitoring of safety-related parameters allows you to respond immediately to deviations.
  • Increased transparency: Failures, monitoring actions, and system responses are documented in a traceable manner and can be accessed by you at any time.
  • Quick transition: The switch from classic FMEA to FMEA-MSR can be made without duplicate documentation or additional training.
  • Practical application: Particularly suitable for your safety-critical systems such as airbags, control units, braking systems, and much more.
  • Cost reduction: Early failure detection and response reduce unplanned downtime and rework.

With our FMEA-MSR software, you can increase your process reliability, comply with the latest AIAG/VDA standards, and reduce your costs.
