proteanTecs, a global leader of health and performance monitoring solutions for advanced electronics, announced the launch of RTSM (Real-Time Safety Monitoring), a deep data application for fault detection and failure prevention in mission-critical automotive applications.
The rapid advancements in automotive architectures, particularly with the rise of software-defined, electric, and autonomous vehicles, have introduced advanced electronic systems and complex semiconductor technologies. This, coupled with stringent safety requirements of the ISO 26262 standard, results in a new set of challenges for automotive manufacturers and OEMs. Maintaining safety standards without compromising performance becomes a critical challenge.
proteanTecs RTSM introduces a new industry-grade safety layer, serving as the ECU’s silent guard. A real-time safety monitoring, predictive & prescriptive maintenance application, it allows systems to stay always-on while receiving immediate alerts about faults before they become errors. RTSM augments the best-in-class safety diagnostic methods, by monitoring timing margins in the chip at a real-time resolution, under actual workloads and with high diagnostic coverage. Combining on-chip data with algorithm-based identification of issue severity, RTSM enables dynamic system adjustment and failure prevention.

Key benefits
- Predictive Maintenance – algorithm-based Performance Index and notifications of risk severity, based on thresholds, affected areas, logic, power domains, and history of events
- Prescriptive Maintenance – real-time operational system adjustments to avoid failures
- Safety Mechanism – the detection of logical failures due to timing violations
- Faster reaction time – low latency warning signals and real-time actions
- Non-stop monitoring – always-on and in-mission mode
