A safety instrumented system (SIS) is a set of software and hardware controls that offers a layer of protection that can shut down a nuclear, electrical or mechanical, chemical system, when a threatening condition is spotted. The goal is to protect the safety of plant employees and outsiders by avoiding catastrophic accidents that can result in injury, property damage, environmental impacts, loss of life or even the complete destruction of a plant. As companies link their operations with safety systems, they will have the ability to monitor them in real time exploitation of the economic Internet of Things (IoT). IoT permits quick observance and analysis of physical systems, furthermore, virtual administration of these, which will help in improved performance. This will accelerate the expansion of the functional safety market in the coming years.
Market Dynamics:
Growing awareness for safety across industries is driving the adoption of SIS technology. This in turn is expected to drive growth of the global safety instrumented system market over the forecast period.
However, concerns regarding data security, lack of skilled workforce, and high cost of maintenance are likely to adversely impact adoption of safety instrumented systems. Thus, this is expected to hamper growth of the market during the forecast period.
