Title: Reliability in Brazil: Roads for approaching industry
Authors: Francisco Louzada - University of Sao Paulo (Brazil) [presenting]
Abstract: Our dependence on mechanical and electronic devices is increasing. However, no matter how efficient they are, they can fail. For instance, we can mention technologies embedded in intelligent sensors, artificial intelligence devices, agricultural, financial, and medical robots. In this context, statistical reliability analysis has been extensively used and inserted into innovation processes. Some reliability innovation projects are presented, showing how we are creating a connection road between academia and the industrial, medical and financial sectors. The focus is on reliability modeling for oil well construction equipment, bucket tracking equipment, agricultural machinery, and communication modeling for mobile phones.
