Unlocking Safety, Speed, and Savings with ProLytX Test Drive

In complex industrial environments, safety system validation is more than a checklist item—it's the backbone of operational integrity. Yet traditional methods for logic and function testing are slow, manual, and error-prone. This is especially true during "end-to-end" validation, where multiple teams and systems must align perfectly to verify safety instrumented systems (SIS). ProLytX's Test Drive software revolutionizes this process by automating validation, increasing accuracy, and drastically cutting down testing time and manpower.

The Hidden Costs of Traditional Testing

Manual safety validation often takes 8 to 10 hours or more, depending on system size and complexity. Test procedures are inconsistent across teams, prone to human error, and challenging to repeat. Infrequent testing also means that subtle system failures or logic misconfigurations can go unnoticed for years—creating risk, reducing compliance, and costing millions.

How Test Drive Works

Test Drive is a vendor-agnostic, software-based validation platform designed to streamline and automate the testing process for safety logic systems. The platform works with a broad range of systems.

It supports a segmented testing procedure, allowing teams to isolate specific components or logic segments, execute validation steps, and document outcomes automatically. It provides a standardized dashboard interface that makes it easy for technicians and engineers to run tests, view results, and produce formal documentation.

Tangible Results

In live deployments, ProLytX clients have reported:

  • Test cycles reduced by 4 to 10 times

  • Savings of up to $2 million on a single processor system

  • Higher test repeatability and consistency

  • Fewer engineering hours required to support testing

  • 400+ I/O tested in under 10 hours, compared to multi-day timelines previously

The value compounds when templates are reused across sites, allowing future projects to be validated even more efficiently.

Unlock Efficiency with ProLytX

By adopting Test Drive, companies gain control over one of the most mission-critical and time-consuming processes in safety management. It doesn't just optimize testing—it transforms how engineering and operations teams collaborate.
