Before discussing control units and software development, the conceptual principles of your system must be defined first.
ECUtronic supports you in concept development for functional safety and cybersecurity. Whether commercial vehicles, stationary machinery, agricultural equipment, or construction machinery - we are familiar with industry-specific requirements and the underlying standards.
From an idea to a complete safety concept
In the concept phase of your product development, the ground work is madeeor the later market introduction of your system. We support you in assessing technical ideas for feasibility under industry-specific safety aspects and create the work products required by relevant standards.
Our concept development services are:
- Item Definition: A complete vehicle or system description forming the foundation for all further steps.
- Risk Analyses and Assessments (Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment HARA and Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment TARA): We identify potential sources of hazards arising from internal failures (functional safety) and/or external attacks (cybersecurity) and derive the corresponding safety-related development objectives.
- Safety Concept: We define clear requirements that your system must fulfill in order to safely mitigate the identified risks.
Consulting on functional safety and cybersecurity
Are you planning to develop or homologate a product which contains E/E-components? Are you wondering which requirements will apply in the future regarding cybersecurity in stationary machinery, agricultural machinery, and construction equipment? We advise you on industry-specific requirements for functional safety and cybersecurity.
- Road Vehicles: ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434
- Agricultural Machinery: ISO 25119 and ISO/DIS 24882
- Stationary Machinery: ISO 13849 and prEN 50742
- Construction Machinery: ISO 19014 and ISO/DIS 24882
In addition to product-related topics, management processes (e.g. safety and cybersecurity management) as well as quality assurance processes play a key role in implementing regulatory requirements. We assess your existing systems and processes for compliance with new safety standards and provide concrete recommendations for improvement.
Why ECUtronic is the right consulting partner for you
Many consulting approaches are not tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises.
At ECUtronic, we are familiar with the typical pitfalls and help you avoid them.
- Pragmatism with a sense of what is appropriate: We are well acquainted with the requirements of SMEs in the OEM and Tier-1 supplier environment. We provide practical, solution-oriented consulting that is both standards-compliant and economically viable.
- Production experience: We don’t just consult - we also develop ourselves. This insider knowledge flows directly into our advisory work.
