SafeGuard Profiler - Version SilCore -Safety Integrity Level Software (SIL)

SafeGuard Profiler software provides a clear and easy visualization of information that would traditionally be shown in complex spreadsheets or data tables. The system’s Bowtie design feature allows Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) participants to quickly recognize if the system has too many or too few safeguards, and identify optimization opportunities to reduce alarms, trips and interlocks. This permits the achievement of optimal safety configurations, saves company time and money, and provides the utmost confidence in system designs.

The LOPA graph distinctly shows whether or not the specified tolerable risk level is being met and how much additional protection would be required to ensure a safe facility.

Safety systems fail and occasionally need to be bypassed, creating potential for high-risk situations. To help reduce some of this risk, SafeGuard Profiler software captures the knowledge of experienced operations and maintenance personnel to create best practice responses to hazardous situations. This knowledge is used to create contingency plans, which are included in standard SafeGuard Profiler reports, that seamlessly integrate with existing operations and maintenance documentation.

SafeGuard Profiler enables efficient design and validation of safety instrumented functions (SIF) to ensure the system meets defined requirements. The IEC 61511-ANSI/ISA 84.0 compliant calculation and modelling engine within SafeGuard Profiler reduces safety instrumented function or SIF design time by up to 50%. This translates to significant savings of both time and money, freeing up your team to take on additional challenges. Users can easily determine the best safety instrumented system architecture without a limit to the complexity of SIF configurations.

Minimal effort is required to determine the optimal voting and test frequency of a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF). Voting structure changes are immediately visualized to show the impact on SIF design reliability. As a SIL-V or SIL verification software, users can select the desired safety integrity level (calculated with SIL-D or SIL determination capabilities) and SafeGuard Profiler will automatically calculate the required test interval, failure rate or partial stroke test coverage. No alternative system possesses this “on-the-fly” capability.

SafeGuard Profiler allows imported external documents to be included with each project. Added documents are transferred as part of the project and can be printed in a compilation report. For presentation purposes, SafeGuard Profiler Advanced Reporting lets users customize each report layout and content.

SafeGuard Sentinel is innovative software that reveals danger in the plant in real time. This advanced system is the only one of its kind that measures, monitors and alerts Operations to process safety risks and delivers contingency plans that can be executed immediately. SafeGuard Sentinel uses design information from SafeGuard Profiler to make effective operational decisions in real time.

With the combination of SafeGuard Profiler and SafeGuard Sentinel, your team will have the most advanced safety process determination and monitoring capability available today.
