Safety-critical systems — uncompromisingly reliable.

Software development and engineering for industries where an incident is simply not an option. The reputational and material damage of an adverse event typically exceeds the cost of preventive development many times over — from the sensor through the power electronics to the complete space mission.

The business case

Preventing damage pays off.

Software engineering and services aimed at preventing harm to people have never been more relevant, because the reputational damage of an adverse event is usually far more severe than the development costs of preventing it. For years, Proway has focused on safety-critical domains — environment and hazardous materials, energy supply, aviation and aerospace, military and medical. Many customers in these industries have long relied on Proway’s engineering expertise and the performance of its products, because they combine safety with innovation.

Use case: aerospace

Tested before the rocket launches.

In space missions, success depends on how robust the power supply is. The power electronics (Power Units) must withstand vibration, heat and radiation, and must be rigorously stress-tested before the rocket launches. Test systems built on Gamma 7 communicate with the power electronics over bus protocols with long-term stability and control long-duration test processes under real-time conditions via Python test scripts or Matlab simulations — for uncompromising reliability over many years in the conditions of space.
