We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Mean Time Between Failures",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Temperature sensors keep working for 28 years from
Lios Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Lios Technology's current DTS product series was designed to provide reliable performance and smooth operation in industrial environments".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Scientists protected from nuclear radiations from
Pilz Safe Automation Australia: "Nuclear scientists choose PSS programmable safety system".
In December 2006, we covered the news from Pilz Automation Technology
concerning its Programmable safety systems
- take a look at Programmable safety systems protect nuclear staff
which says: "Co-ordinating the I/O at the Opal nuclear reactor are five Pilz PSS programmable safety systems (or safety PLCs), each one dedicated to a separate safety zone".
Take a look also at the news release from BHR Group, Sealing conference is timed for IPPC Directive,
as well as Highest safety standard for nuclear reactor. from Pilz Safe Automation Australia,
and Gears and actuators set for airshow outing from Harmonic Drive UK.
