Free to Innovate
For many years, the process of programming safety functions has been cumbersome and limiting. Innovation and productivity have suffered under the yoke of proprietary systems and tools. Now, for the first time, B&R, a leading innovator in industrial automation, has shattered this paradigm with Safety+, an open approach to safety programming.
Open to be Agile
Freedom to exploit the newest developments in software engineering-made possible by Safety+: Imagine developing safety applications using your familiar tools, such as GitHub and Jenkins, achieving new levels of collaboration and accelerating development cycles. Thanks to open-source principles, new avenues are opened for innovation and efficiency in safety programming at B&R.
Transparency and Traceability
The backbone of Safety+ is an innovative data architecture. Every modification in the source code is tracked with great care to document everything in detail, thus making it traceable and transparent. This helps in targeted optimization of codes and rapid adaptation to changing user requirements. Besides, digital fingerprinting seals the code from unauthorized access, yet keeps the code open.
Unleashing Creativity with Flexibility
Safety+ tears down the barriers that, up until now, have held developers back. Developers can program in function blocks, ladder diagrams, and structured text-not just one or two-giving them more options to suit their style of development. Furthermore, support for a wider spectrum of data types, such as arrays and structs, means developers can create more sophisticated safety solutions with much greater efficiency.
Safety Programming-Paradigm Shift
B&R's Safety+ is a revolution in the concept of safety programming. Open, agile, and flexible, it opens a whole new dimension to the developer for innovating in this highly sensitive area. The revolutionary approach not only increases productivity but ushers in an efficient and safer future for industrial automation.
