TÜV SÜD Japan, the Japan subsidiary of TÜV SÜD, an international third-party certification body, held a hybrid seminar on functional safety jointly with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation's Nagoya Works (1-14, Yada-minami 5-chome, Higashi-ku, Nagoya). Participants could attend either on-site at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation's Nagoya Works or online.
This seminar was aimed to foster basic knowledge and awareness of functional safety, which is a prerequisite for future product development and design work, mainly among young engineers from Mitsubishi Electric Corporation's Nagoya Works, Industrial Mechatronics Systems Works, and affiliated companies. A total of more than 400 employees attended the seminar.
Mr. Hiroo Kanamaru of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation‘s Corporate Intellectual Property Division, Standardization Strategy Group gave an enthusiastic introduction to the latest trends in the international safety standard IEC 61508 Ed.3, followed by two presentations from TÜV SÜD Japan experts: on AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) safety by Yoshitoshi Fujiwara, and on common misconceptions about functional safety certification by Takashi Matsumae. The presentations covered everything from the basics to the latest trends, and the event concluded with a lively question-and-answer session.
