LDRA to drive joint technology towards safety and security

BANGALORE, INDIA: LDRA Technology Pvt. Ltd, the provider in standards compliance, automated software verification, source code analysis and test tools, 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.

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.

Chris Murray, VP of business development at LDRA, added, “We see an increased focus on safety and security and this is driving the certification business in India. Local industries are increasingly expected to fulfil certification requirements. LDRA’s goal is to arm the local companies with industry-best technologies and high-quality practices to enable them to be ahead of the curve.”
