ABOUT JAN REICH

Research is not an end in itself! That\'s why I love enabling industry folks to profit from state-of-the-art safety assurance approaches, which we transfer into practically usable processes, methods and tools in our daily work at Fraunhofer.I\'m heading the \"Safety Engineering\" R&D department at Fraunhofer IESE, which has a demonstrated record of supporting industrial partners in mastering the safety engineering, assurance, and approval challenges of future innovative products. Concretely, we- support your safe market entry or system/component certification towards existing or upcoming safety standards in various domains (automotive, machinery, industrial automation, agriculture, medical)- help navigate and interpret the challenges posed by regulation & standards and guide towards adequate and compliant solutions (ISO 26262, 21448, 8800, 61508, 3450x, etc.)- boost your team\'s effectiveness and efficiency by transferring our safety assurance know-how, methods and tools into your company-specific processes- develop or review safety concepts for challenging systems/environments, e.g. containing AI, high degrees of connectivity, cloud/edge components, short feature update cycles or cyber-physical systems with flexible structures, where subsystems or components should or need to be replaced or reconfigured frequently. Autonomous systems typically feature most of them -)- jump into concrete product safety projects if competent experts or task forces are required on short notice- offer assurance solutions for cross-disciplinary challenges, particularly safety-security co-engineering and dependable/safe AI. To build those, we joined forces in a recently established division \"Dependable Systems\" combining competencies of safety, security, and data science departments.We leverage 20+ years of experience in enabling our industrial partners to build and approve safe innovative products based on our knowledge and in-house developed methods and tools (e.g. component fault tree and STPA safety analysis, operational safety performance indicator monitoring, situation-aware dynamic risk assessment, conditional safety certification, predictive simulation, safeTbox modeling and analysis tool.). We engage in public-funded research projects to explore new solutions. We realize research or knowledge transfer within bilateral research collaboration projects.Interested in discussing potential solutions for your specific assurance challenges or just learning about next-gen safety assurance techniques? I\'m here for you - just one message away -)
