About this event
Designing safety functions to ISO 13849 is where controls engineering, risk reduction, and real-world machine behavior all meet. If you work on machinery, automation, or functional safety and want a clearer, more practical understanding of how safety functions are designed and evaluated, this virtual session is built to be worth your time. This is a focused online gathering for people who want to talk seriously about safety design without wading through fluff. Expect a useful mix of technical context, practical interpretation, and community discussion around how ISO 13849 applies to actual design decisions. About the Event This event centers on the design of safety functions using the framework of ISO 13849, one of the key standards used in machinery safety. Rather than treating the topic
Who should attend
If you work anywhere near machinery, controls, or safety-related design, this event is likely relevant to you. - You design or program **industrial control systems** and want a clearer understanding of how safety functions should be defined and implemented. - You are a **controls engineer, automation engineer, or systems integrator** who needs to apply ISO 13849 in practical project work rather than only at a documentation level. - You review, specify, or validate machine safety concepts and want stronger language and judgment around performance, architecture, and risk reduction. - You are involved in **machine design, OEM engineering, or manufacturing systems** and need to collaborate more effectively with safety, electrical, or controls teams. - You are newer to **functional safety or machinery safety** and want a more grounded introduction through discussion with a technically minded community. - You value professional meetups where you can learn from peers, compare approaches, and leave with better questions to ask on your next project. If you have ever looked at a machine safety problem and thought, "I need a more practical handle on how this should be designed," you are the right fit.
