Case Study: Autec s.r.l. achieves EN ISO 13849-1 / EN IEC 62061 compliance and reduced testing time with Vector Software's VectorCAST

Autec Meets EN ISO 13849-1 and EN IEC 62061 Standards with VectorCAST

Autec s.r.l. designs and manufactures radio remote controls for industrial cranes, lifting machinery and other safety-critical applications. To obtain functional safety certifications and ensure field reliability, Autec needed to unit test complex and legacy C code and provide documented evidence of test coverage to meet EN ISO 13849-1 and EN IEC 62061 standards.

After evaluating several tools, Autec selected VectorCAST/C++ because it integrated tightly with their development suite, passed target and host testing, and was quick to deploy with responsive support. The tool reduced test time, improved software quality, provided clear evidence for validation and certification, and helped Autec save hundreds of man-hours while becoming their standardized testing solution.
