Saphira AI Accelerates ISO 10218-1 Compliance for RobCo

Saphira AI (YC S24) is excited to announce our work with Roman Hölzl & RobCo, a Sequoia backed German robotics company developing modular robotics solutions for industrial companies. Saphira was able to help Arnab Bagchi’s team achieve ISO 10218-1 compliance for their industrial robots within weeks instead of months. The company faced challenges in navigating the complex certification process and ensuring all safety requirements were met.

To achieve ISO 10218-1 compliance, there are several pieces to this puzzle that RobCo had to solve:
* Understanding and implementing the specific requirements of ISO 10218-1
* Maintaining traceability of safety-related design decisions
* Generating comprehensive safety reports for certification
* Efficiently updating documentation as the product evolved

Michael Sausmikat and other users at RobCo found the ISO 10218-1 compliance process effortless thanks to Saphira AI's platform:
* Centralized Requirements Management: Saphira AI provided a single platform to capture and manage electrical, mechanical, and software requirements in one place.
* Automated Traceability: The platform automatically linked requirements, design elements, and test results, ensuring everything was fully traceable.
* Intelligent Report Generation: Saphira AI’s compliance report generator automatically created ISO 10218-1-specific documents, with TÜV-friendly test output summarization.
* Continuous Compliance Monitoring: The system continuously monitored design changes against ISO 10218-1 requirements, instantly flagging any potential compliance issues.
* AI-Assisted Standard Interpretation: Saphira’s AI helped interpret complex standard clauses and suggested effective implementation strategies.

By leveraging Saphira AI's platform, RobCo experienced:
* 50% reduction in time spent on compliance-related activities
* Improved accuracy in safety documentation
* Faster identification and resolution of potential safety issues
* Streamlined certification process, reducing time-to-market and lack of human consultant or internal team to organize data
* Enhanced collaboration between engineering and safety teams
