FIDES Lab final version 1.5.9

FIDESLab: The Free Tool for Your Component Reliability Studies Using the FIDES Methodology

The FIDES methodology is now the benchmark for assessing the reliability of electronic components in demanding industrial projects (defense, aerospace, aviation, etc.). However, manual implementation is complex, time-consuming, and prone to errors. That’s why SATODEV has developed FIDES Lab, a free software tool that is fully compliant with the FIDES 2022 Guide and validated by 14 companies from the IMdR FIDES working group.

With FIDES Lab, model your products with ease thanks to an intuitive interface:

• Create BOM (Bill of Materials) with unlimited hierarchy (system, subsystem, equipment, component, etc.).
• Manage mission profiles and their phases.
• Perform detailed calculations per phase and per component, compliant with the IEC 63142 standard (currently being finalized).
• Import/Export in OpenFIDES format, ensuring full interoperability with other tools and long-term sustainability of your studies.
• Custom families to adapt the FIDES model to your specific components or field feedback.

FIDES Lab is the first predictive reliability software 100% compliant with the FIDES 2022 Guide and validated by domain experts after a two-year project. No more manual data entry, and no more calculation errors: our tool automates processes while remaining transparent and verifiable.
