Industrial Automation Software Assured with Axivion
The rising demand for manufacturing automation, cost-effective mass production, and the rise of Industry 4.0 are fueling the global industrial automation software market.
Ensuring that software is maintainable, scalable, and error-free has never been more important than in this era of rapid expansion. Axivion will help you achieve.
Increasing Acceptance of Industry 4.0 and Other Technologies
Growing need for mass production while also having to reduce operational costs, have significantly changed the industrial landscape. Trends such as Industry 4.0 (RAMI 4.0) describe the path to networking at all levels. This trend is accelerated by the availability of 5G, the possibilities of AI and the expectations of the interaction of a wide variety of components in a large Internet of Things (IoT).
But networking also results in new requirements for the IT security of embedded systems and higher requirements for functional safety, as described e.g. in IEC 61508, take up a lot of time and costs in automation engineering. Complex control algorithms, fast and secure communication as well as variants must be implemented faster than ever while the software at the same time needs to be easily maintainable.
Mastering the Challenges by Applying Static Analysis and Architecture Verification
Maintainability, extensibility and comprehensibility of the software are an elementary prerequisite for mastering the requirements described above. In addition to the inevitable growth due to the required functionality, unnecessary complexity must be avoided at all costs. Axivion Suite helps you do this by stopping this software erosion (also known as technical debt).
The architecture analysis feature allows you to ensure your code matches your software architecture. It not only simplifies the adding modifications, but also monitors whether the code complies with the defined safety and security architectures.
By implementing daily automated static code analysis you can ensure compliance with coding guidelines such as MISRA or AUTOSAR C++14. Additonally, metrics are continuously monitored and the inner software quality is upheld by detecting clones, dead code or cycles in your code.
Comply with IEC 61508 Standard by using Axivion
No matter if it is about industrial automation solutions, manufacturing solutions, warehouse automation technologies, factory automation, robotic process automation, industrial control systems etc. - most of our customers are united by the safety requirements they have to fulfill: IEC 61508
Our tools integrate seamlessly into your safety process, from the configuration of the corresponding rules, the tool qualification kit to the reporting infrastructure. The Static Code Analysis Package of Axivion Suite is even certified by SGS-TÜV Saar GmbH for use in the development of safety systems according to the international industrial standard IEC 61508 up to SIL 4.
The Axivion Tool Qualification Kit ensures additional confidence in the analyses of the tool in the customers environment. Axivion is available for use on the developer’s workstation as well as in the CI / DevOps pipeline on the build server or in the cloud. This makes Axivion part of your CI/CD strategy and quality assurance.
