Software / Hardware Reliability Safety and Dependability

SoHaR, ever since its founding in 1978, has been committed to supporting customers in the quest for improving the "ilities": Reliability, Availability, Safety, Maintainability and Dependability. We offer solutions that are based on a unique combination of experience and attention to customer requirements & business culture, as well as a constant awareness of bottom-line cost efficiency.

SoHaR has always maintained cutting edge practices and solutions through its dedication to an on-going research and development effort in the world of SOftware and HArdware Reliability (hence the name SoHaR). We are determined to pass on our knowledge and experience to our customers through a full spectrum of services and products that promote a cost effective approach to improving overall dependability:

• Consultation
• Project support/management
• Tools
• Training

SoHaR Experts

Our team of expert engineers and reliability and safety professionals will lead your organization and products to safer and more reliable operations. We perform a multitude of services including:

• Reliability analysis and prediction
• System reliability analysis (Reliability Block diagrams (RBD) as well as Markov modeling for more complex situations)
• Maintainability analysis
• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA, Process FMEA, Design FMEA, FMECA)
• System dependability analysis
• System safety analysis
• System hazard analysis
• Fault Tree Analysis (FTA, hazard tree analysis)
• Probabilistic Risk Analysis (based on FTA and RBDs)
• Sneak Circuit Analysis
• Lifecycle Cost Analysis
• Logistic support: FRACAS program planning, analysis and maintenance
• Logistic optimization: maintenance scheduling, parts and inventory optimization, warranty optimization (customer and vendor)

Tools Developed by Engineers for Engineers

Based on our experience of offering the best and most cost effective engineering services we, the reliability and safety engineers of SoHaR, have developed an entire suite of engineering tools that have become the benchmark for all other reliability and safety tools. Our tools offer both main stream functions and expert modules that cover the gamut of activities covered by the reliability & safety communities.

• RAM Commander - our all inclusive RMA tool suite is built modularly and offers
  • Reliability and maintainability prediction (including complete component libraries and reports)
  • Reliability block diagrams
  • Part optimization
  • Derating
  • FMEA/FMECA
  • Fault Tree Analysis
  as well as many other features.
• SCAT: our automated sneak circuit analysis tool accepts schematic netlist files from all CAD tools and offers a ten-fold reduction in the effort required to perform this important safety analysis activity on all safety critical circuits.
• MEADEP: our system dependability analysis tool offers the capability of developing models that may include both reliability block diagrams (RBD) and Markov chains for a more systematic and natural way to model the most complex systems. This program also includes a data processing module to enable a seamless interface between data and model.
• FavoWeb: our third generation FRACAS (failure reporting and corrective action system) program offers a web-based, dynamic and flexible tool that is easily customized to your organization's specific requirements and individual work-flow. From 8d and ISO 9000 to fielded systems, FavoWeb streamlines your failure reporting and corrective action process while adhering to your organization's requirements and regulations: security, ITAR and even multiple languages.
• Cost Commander and D-LCC: our lifecycle cost analysis tools can provide you with the most basic, and the most sophisticated lifecycle and total ownership cost analyses offering optimization, comparative studies and multiple reports.
