    New: TRAINING IEC61508 AND FUNCTIONAL SAFETY

In the lift industry, functional safety is more than ever a hot topic. During our four free webinars on this theme, we have noticed that it is an important issue in the branch. No fewer than 400 interested persons signed up for them. Did you miss the webinars? You can watch them all for free.

Watch our webinars on functional safety: ‘An introduction to PESS’

After the automotive and aircraft industry, functional safety is now making headway in the lift industry. The current structure of the Lifts Directive and the status of the associated elevator standards provide engineers with the tools and scope for new and innovative Programmable Electronic Safety Systems (PESS).

What is functional safety all about? How do you get started? And how do you avoid errors? In four free webinars the PESS-experts of Liftinstituut give an introduction into the topic of functional safety and its translation into Programmable Electronic Safety Systems for lifts. You can watch them all for free.
