The engineering
workbench for
FMEA.

One linked workspace for FHA, FTA, FMEA, reliability modeling, and project tracking — built so safety artifacts trace cleanly from requirement to certification.

SECTION 02 / Toolkit

Five tools.
One linked graph.

Every artifact references the same model. Change a function in your FHA, the corresponding fault tree top-event updates, and the FMEA flags every affected line item.

SECTION 06 / Workflow

Requirement to
certification artifact.

The same item lives once. Every downstream tool — FTA, FMEA, V&V, audit log — pulls from it. Trace any failure mode back to the requirement that introduced it.

STEP 01

Define

Import requirements from Jama, DOORS, or CSV. Lock baselines.

REQ-1000REQ-1001REQ-1002REQ-1003REQ-1004
STEP 02

Analyze

Run FHA → FTA → FMEA in a single linked model.

STEP 03

Quantify

Reliability, availability, RPN — recomputed on every edit.

STEP 04

Certify

Generate ARP4761, ISO 26262, or IEC 61508 artifacts on demand.

SECTION 07 / Why Designlab

Built by people
who hated the alternative.

We've shipped safety-critical hardware in aerospace, medical, and automotive. Every choice in Designlab comes from a spreadsheet we never want to open again.

One linked model

Functions, hazards, failure modes, requirements — one node, every view. No more reconciliation calls.

Standards-aware

ARP4761 · ISO 26262 · IEC 61508 · DO-178C · 21 CFR 820. Templates and gates built in, not bolted on.

Audit-grade trace

Every value is signed, dated, and rolls back. Generate the trace matrix the auditor wants in one click.

Real engines

Probabilistic solvers, Weibull fitters, BDD-based fault tree analyzers — not Excel formulas in disguise.

Works offline

Self-hosted on your VPC, air-gapped if you need it. Same product, same engine, your servers.

API-first

Everything is scriptable. Pipe FMEA exports into your CI, gate releases on RPN thresholds.

SECTION 08 / Pricing

Per seat, no surprises.

All plans include the full toolkit. You pay for the seats actively editing — viewers, auditors, and stakeholders are free.

SECTION 09 / FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes — paste from clipboard or drop a .xlsx. Designlab maps columns to S/O/D, item, mode, effect, and recommended action. Round-trip back to your template at any time.
ARP4761 / ARP4754A, ISO 26262, IEC 61508, DO-178C, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, MIL-HDBK-217F, Telcordia SR-332, IEC 62380, AIAG-VDA. Templates ship with required artifacts and review gates.
Yes. The engine uses BDD-based exact quantification, supports common-cause failure groups (β, MGL, alpha-factor), and reports Birnbaum, Fussell-Vesely, and RAW importance per event.
Team and Enterprise plans include a Docker-Compose deployment. Enterprise adds Helm charts, air-gapped license activation, and a dedicated solver compute pool.
SOC 2 Type II, encryption in transit and at rest, customer-managed keys on Enterprise, full audit log of every value change with cryptographic signatures.
A typed REST + GraphQL API covers the entire model. SDKs for Python, TypeScript, and a CLI. Common use: gating CI on RPN thresholds or auto-generating safety cases on tag.
