  • SCADE modelling language (based on formal semantics) for safety-related software embedded control applications
  • Automatic code generation
  • Model-level simulation
  • Formal verification (complete demonstration of properties)
  • A development environment including gateways to third-party tools (requirements engineering, UML architectures)


Model-Based development with SCADE establishes higher efficiency, errors are being detected earlier in the design process - all in all our products reach our customers faster and in the highest possible quality, says Dr. Ralf Pinger, Siemens Transportation Systems.
