In today’s dynamic production environments, ensuring the safety and efficiency of critical systems is more important than ever. One of the key challenges faced by Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) engineers is determining whether Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) barriers are performing as designed. Many wonder if the real-world data from their plants is accurately reflected in the Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) calculations used during design.
In our webinar, experts Brian Nixon from Hexagon and Pieter Poldervaart from Cenosco address these pressing concerns. They covered practical technologies, highlighted complexities in assessing SIS performance, and shared expert strategies for bridging the gap between design intent and operational reality.
