AI-assisted Safety Engineering – T3-qualified up to SIL 3
Press Release
St. Pölten, June 30, 2026 - The way applications are developed in industrial automation is undergoing fundamental change. Version control with Git, multilingual codebases, AI-assisted copilots, extensions instead of monolithic toolchains - these are now standard in modern software development. In functional safety engineering, however, tools have changed very little for a long time. Neuron Automation is now changing this with Neuron Smart Engineer.
The end of separate worlds

Article | SPS Magazin
St. Pölten June 9, 2026 - Although collaborative robotics is considered a key driver of automation, the effort required for functional safety is growing disproportionately due to outdated system architectures. In many robotic systems, safety is still implemented as a separate, hardware-based parallel system. This results in duplicate hardware, high engineering effort, and complex certification processes.
AI from St. Pölten makes machines safe - Hanke welcomes Neuron Automation
Press Release
Vienna/St. Pölten June 1, 2026 - What usually takes a safety engineer several days can be achieved by AI from St. Pölten in seconds. This means that an internationally pioneer-ing solution for functional safety - the technology that prevents machines and robots from injuring people - comes from Lower Austria. Federal Minister for Innovation, Mo-bility and Infrastructure Peter Hanke recognised this at a reception for Neuron Auto-mation. The occasion was the company's research funding from the FFG under the Frontrunner programme.
1st Place in “Products of the Year 2026”: Neuron Automation Wins with Safety Toolkit

Press Release | Computer & Automation

The company has now been recognized for this innovation. In the “Products of the Year 2026” readers’ choice awards by the trade publication Computer&Automation, Neuron Automation achieved 1st place in the “Safety & Security” category with its Safety Toolkit.
Functional Safety Becomes a Software Discipline

Cover Story Special Issue | Computer & Automation
As the worlds of control systems and IT evolve at rapid speed, safety in many places is still stuck in architectures from a time when hardware was expensive and software was primarily a means to an end.
Neuron Automation is fundamentally rethinking functional safety and designing it as a standardized, scalable, software-defined platform.
