Company Bio:
exida is an engineering consulting firm specializing in safety critical / high availability automation systems, control system security, and alarm management. Core competencies in design, analysis, implementation, operation, and maintenance of critical automation systems, along with expertise in the application of the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 / ISA 84 functional safety standards, has allowed exida to develop an extensive suite of software tools that assist in the implementation of the Safety Lifecycle.

Products:
exSILentia® Integrated Safety Lifecycle Suite: The exSILentia® integrated toolset helps tackle three of the most important steps in the safety lifecycle: Safety Integrity Level (SIL) selection, Safety Requirements Specification, and SIL verification. exSILentia lets the user define a project consisting of one or more Safety Instrumented Functions. It helps you manage project documentation through easy report generation and viewing of reports in Microsoft Word. Sharing data for multi-person projects, for independent review, or for input into other lifecycle tools (e.g. PHA), is easy with the built-in exSILentia import/ export functionality.

exSILentia provides fully customizable SIL selection options like risk graph, hazard matrix, and frequency based targets. In addition, a complete SIF SRS template ensures completeness in requirements definition. exSILentia contains the most comprehensive SIL verification program on the market, SILver, allowing extensive Safety Instrumented Function definition, and an IEC 61508-approved calculation engine based on the Markov Modeling technique. Finally exSILentia includes a built-in reliability database from the best-selling Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook (SERH), speeding up the process of SIL verification by allowing users to select equipment items directly from the database without having to manually enter reliability data.

IVA- Industrial Vulnerability Assessment software is designed to assist industrial facilities such as chemical plants and oil refineries to develop plans for preventing or mitigating terrorist or criminal actions that could have significant impacts – such as the loss chemicals vital to the national defense or economy – or could seriously affect local communities, such as the release of hazardous chemicals that would compromise the integrity of the facility, contaminate adjoining areas or injure or kill employees or neighboring populations. Vulnerability assessments are a key component under the Environmental Management Standards (EMS) – ISO 14001, and have traditionally been addressed as “security.” However, since the War on Terrorism and 9/11, the importance of Vulnerability Assessments has been elevated by operating facilities and falls as a separate area of responsibility linked to the EMS.
