Safety instrumented systems

I collaborated with HIMA to create technical diagrams for their paper about the architectures of safety-critical systems. HIMA is a leading expert in safety-related automation solutions, trusted by companies in the process and rail industries worldwide.

The paper aims to teach students and professionals about safety-critical systems. Safety-critical systems use electrical, electronic, or programmable electronic systems, sometimes with other technologies, to implement safety functions and protect equipment and keep it under control. The paper introduces and explains concepts such as safety instrumented functions, safe failure fraction, and MooN architectures to non-expert audiences.

As the illustrator, my task was to redesign draft figures provided by the paper authors in a modern and appealing style for both students and professionals; I was also asked to add new illustrations to help make these technical concepts easier to grasp and more visually memorable. My ability to understand and distill complex technical topics was crucial in crafting clear and relevant illustrations that could enhance the readers' comprehension.
