LDRA India Initiates Industry-Wide Safety-Critical Platform

 LDRA Technology has announced it will drive joint technology and development initiatives towards a safe and secure India. LDRA plans to initiate the LDRA Partner Alliance, a gathering of like-minded partners who will bring their technologies together into an integrated safety-critical platform that fully complies with stringent industrial standards. By establishing coherent best design, development, and verification practices on one platform, the LDRA Partner Alliance will usher in a safer, more secure tomorrow for development of aerospace, rail, medical, industrial, automotive, defence, energy, nuclear, and cyber security within India.
The LDRA Partner Alliance brings together a strong mix of safety-critical tool developers, including IBM India Pvt. Ltd., Esterel Technologies, Texas Instruments, Freescale Semiconductor, Green Hills Software, Xilinx, Wind River Systems, National Instruments, Avnet, ARM, Mentor Graphics, UL India Pvt Ltd, TÜV Rheinland and TÜV SÜD along with many Indian technology companies, that will consolidate their technologies to form a safety-critical industry platform implementing industry-best practises for safety and security in India.

The LDRA Partner Alliance will help the manufacturers and implementers comply with various Indian and international standards, including new initiatives from the Bureau of Indian Standards and other sector-specific regulations for safety and security. This foundation will provide a necessary safe-guard against the endless variants of process and standards across industries commonly found in India, many of which do not meet the stringent demands of internationally recognised safety-critical standards.

 Shinto Joseph, Operations Director, LDRA India, said, “The lack of critical safety standards and the gap between local and global practices are impeding economic growth in India. This is particularly true in all critical sectors where errant systems can lead to physical injury or death. We as a company, together with our partners, provide a common platform that brings together best technologies and best practices to build a safer and secure India.”


 The LDRA Partner Alliance will work together with universities and government agencies to implement better skill development programs. The Government of India has put in place long-term policies to encourage domestic design. The LDRA Partner Alliance puts in place a healthy safety-critical ecosystem that promises more successful technology opportunities in India.
