Please join us on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, 3-4:30 p.m. at the Saab Emerging Technologies Innovation Center (ETIC), Room 445 for a presentation by Marco Mugnaini on Industrial Reliability Theory Applications.

Industrial Reliability Theory applies mathematical models and statistical methods to predict and improve the reliability of industrial systems, components, and processes. It focuses on minimizing downtime, optimizing maintenance schedules, and ensuring system longevity through failure analysis, fault detection, and risk assessment. By using tools like reliability­ centered maintenance (RCM), failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), and probabilistic modeling, industries can enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs. The theory's applications span various sectors, including manufacturing, energy, aerospace, and transportation, where consistent performance and safety are crucial. Implementing these techniques leads to more resilient systems and improved resource management across industrial operations.

Marco Mugnaini got his Ph.D. in Reliability Availability and Logistics, University of Florence, Italy, 2003 and the Laurea Degree (110/110 cum Laude) in Electronics Engineering with major in Non Linear Automatic Controls, University of Florence, Italy, 1999. Currently he is associate professor at the University of Siena (Manager of the electronics training lab), Italy.
