New product certification for Future Fibre Technologies

Posted on by

Future Fibre Technologies has confirmed that its Aura Ai-X and Aura Ai-XS intrusion detection technology and software has received Safety Integrity Level 2 certification.

According to the company, this means the solutions now satisfy the EN50128:2011 standard.

“Sets a new standard”

SIL (Safety Integrity Level) represents a significant level of safety assurance and ensures that the implemented safety measures and systems meet the required standards.

SIL-certified systems guarantee the mitigation of risks and potential hazards and enhance the overall safety performance in projects.

“We understand that many of our customers operate in environments where functional safety is paramount and significant disaster can occur when a system fails to operate as expected,” said Mal Maginnis, CEO, Ava Risk Group.

This is particularly relevant in the rail sector as technology becomes more complex, hardware and software interact in different ways and components are sourced from many markets.

“Receiving SIL 2 certification sets a new standard for reliability in fibre sensing, ensuring our Aura controllers operate with mean time between failures (MTBF) extending into the millions of hours – significantly enhancing safety and operational continuity and providing our customers with the confidence that any safety risk is reduced to an acceptable level.”
