RAMS - Energy
The increasing complexity of systems and the introduction and expansion of standards, codes and certification requirements has led to a cumulative demand for RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety) analyses in the high-tech energy industry. Especially the implementation of safety criteria is of importance during the development of technologies and products to guarantee a tolerable reduced risk of hazards to individuals and the environment in connection with minimizing the commercial risk.
On the basis of long-term experience at the development of systems and a network of specialists BERNS Engineers supports its customers during the execution of functional safety analyses of complex systems. For this purpose we utilize customer-oriented analysis methods and tools considering the respective safety standards and certification requirements. A complete and system-oriented point of view is considered crucial for our work.
