Abstract

In order to maintain the safety and dependability of modern and complex technical systems over their entire life cycle, continuous availability of information is of crucial importance. This paper deals with a new safety and dependability information system concept. The concept aims for better availability and utilisation of product specific safety and dependability information. Thus, it also supports decision making in the daily operations at companies. The focus of this paper is to describe one part of the information system concept, i.e. a prototype of a smart transponder. This transponder allows the identification of a machine combined with archiving, storing and updating functions, especially for safety and dependability data and knowledge. The prototype is expected, after some further refinement, to fulfil the need for the continuous availability of safety and dependability information during the entire life cycle of machines.
