Reliability is a product design attribute that cannot be ignored. Every design has reliability characteristics - it is a critical ingredient of all designs created in all industries. It is far better to explicitly consider reliability than to ignore it and hope for the best. - IEEE -

today's marketplace demands product reliability…

we employ the best design for reliability, scientific verification, and analysis techniques so that you can be confident your product measures up.

While the marketplace has always insisted on reliability, it now places escalating demands on products to push the limits of their performance and their functional life. And it does so with the expectation of lower per unit costs. Field failures in our global economy are becoming increasingly expensive to fix - not to mention the corresponding loss of customer goodwill and liability issues.

To meet all of these demands, aiotec engineers employ a systematic approach to the design process that is clearly focused on reliability.

why use reliability engineering?

Investing in an appropriate level of reliability engineering makes good business sense. Even though the initial investment during the design, development, and manufacturing phases may increase the overall investment, these costs are quickly recovered through lower manufacturing costs, less maintenance, higher brand impact, and increased market share. There is a general rule of thumb for product development: Every potential failure that escapes a $1 correction at the design stage, will cost $10 to rectify during manufacturing. This escalates to $100 for a field repair.

Our commitment to reliability engineering extends right through the lifetime of a product, from concept to obsolescence. To truly develop a dependable product, reliability engineering must be utilised from the very first stages of a project. Taking time to plan and develop reliability targets is the key to designing and building a product that will meet your customers’ expectation.

Perhaps you have an existing product that is causing reliability concerns, or you may be considering reliability engineering for a new product development. Our highly capable team of engineers can bring an unbiased, objective eye to your project saving you time, money, and expensive field failures. Just give us a call and one of our engineers will be happy to discuss your unique reliability requirements with you.
