In a digital world, safety and security must be built in from the start, in every industry. Formal attestation of safe and secure functionality provides an enormous market advantage, and many intelligent systems must achieve industry-specific safety certifications before they can ever deploy.

Why are we good at safety and certification?
Wind River technology has been powering the safest, most secure devices in the world for nearly 40 years, at the highest criticality levels and in the toughest environments.

What makes us unique in safety and certification?
Our team of experts has helped customers achieve certification requirements in more than 600 projects, including 100+ avionics systems. We offer:

Deep experience: We know security regulations, including the Common Criteria/FIPS 140-2, SP 800-53/82/117/147, NERC CIP, ISA99, Wurldtech Achilles, and IEC 62443.

A solid foundation: Our product development coding standards ensure a strong beginning for safety certification, starting from the development stage.

A world-leading RTOS: Our flagship real-time, deterministic RTOS VxWorks^® is a world leader in ARINC 653 real-time operating environments.

Industry-specific knowledge: VxWorks Cert Edition has been backed by ISO 26262 Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) D certification from the independent authority TÜV SÜD (for automotive), DO-178C Design Assurance Level (DAL) A certification (for avionics), and IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 certification (for industrial).

No longer do we build once, deploy once, and then leave a product alone. Through cloud-native development, companies will add, deduct, or change functionality and even redirect the very purpose of a device, not once but many times. But lifecycle management to this extent presents new and unknown territory for many companies.

Why are we good at lifecycle management?
With nearly 40 years of deep industry experience, the award-winning Wind River Professional Services team has an unmatched track record of helping our customers build, deploy, and reimagine successful projects at every stage of the product lifecycle.

What makes us unique in lifecycle management?
We offer full lifecycle management for any project with:

A collaborative approach: We listen, understand, and craft a solution with a realistic path forward.

Expertise in all industries: We help deliver high-performance, high-security, high-safety, and certifiable solutions.

A geographically dispersed team: No matter where you are, our experts on the ground and alongside your team can help identify requirements, recommend hardware and software components, build proofs of concept, create custom designs and unique intellectual property, implement low-level technologies, and provide full project management.

Full lifecycle support: We enable IP creation to help you innovate and differentiate; training, educating, and mentoring throughout development and upgrades; code management and maintenance and updating of fielded projects; and premium support through your product’s end of life.

In a rapidly evolving, digital-first era, your products must appear, behave, and adjust to their surroundings in new ways. Organizations whose products combine efficiency and performance with innovation have proven 250% more successful than organizations whose products do not. That’s the new IP pathway to success.

Why are we good at IP creation?
Our proven technology and unmatched experience serve as the foundation from which to create new IP and applications for devices and systems at the intelligent edge.

What makes us unique in IP creation?
Decades of experience have taught us that a range of collaborative design tools are necessary for success — and that is exactly what we offer: Our trained experts are skilled at teaching others how to use collaborative design to think outside the box and design and create innovative and differentiated solutions.
