Fennec Engineering has received independent certification from TÜV Rheinland for its Advanced Safety Acceleration Platform, or ASAP, a software tool designed to help companies build safety into robotics and autonomous systems from the early stages of development. The certification, called T2 qualification, confirms that ASAP meets rigorous international standards for software used in safety-critical development. This matters because functional safety is considered essential for robots and related technologies to earn public trust and adoption, and adding safety features early in development prevents expensive redesigns later. Fennec has already deployed the platform at Amazon Robotics since 2021 and is now launching it for the wider market, with the T2-qualified version now available.
