ARE YOUR MACHINES AS SAFE AS YOU THINK THEY ARE?
Date: 28/04/2026

Your vehicle or machine stops unexpectedly. An operator is hurt. The investigation reveals a component failure that could have been predicted — but wasn't. This is not a hypothetical scenario. Every day, in industrial environments, equipment malfunctions and human errors combine to create dangerous situations.
If you are questioning the safety integrity of your vehicles and machines, you are not alone. On the occasion of World Day for Safety and Health at Work, on April 28, APEM invites you to look at safety differently — not as a compliance checkbox, but as something that starts at the component level.
B10d VALUES: ARE YOU MAKING DECISIONS WITH THE RIGHT RELIABILITY DATA?
APEM can provide clearly defined B10d values — the number of operations before 10% of components may experience a dangerous failure — giving you the hard data you need to:
Accurately assess component lifetime in your specific application
Calculate Performance Levels with confidence
Make defensible design decisions that hold up under audit
NAMUR FUNCTION: COULD A FAULT BE PRESENT IN YOUR SYSTEM RIGHT NOW — UNDETECTED?
Cable breaks, short circuits, contact wear, signal inconsistencies — these faults don't always announce themselves. A switch that appears to be working may not respond correctly when it matters most. And if your control system cannot distinguish a genuine signal from a fault condition, the machine continues to operate in a state it should not be in.
APEM's NAMUR-based solutions enable continuous monitoring of signal integrity across your HMI components, allowing your control system can detect anomalies in real time and trigger the appropriate safe response — before a hidden fault becomes an accident.
