Title: Bridging Reliability in Brazil: Pathways to Industrial Integration

In today's world, our reliance on mechanical and electronic devices has grown exponentially. Despite their advanced efficiency, these systems are not immune to failure. This is evident in technologies such as intelligent sensors, artificial intelligence devices, and robots used in agriculture, finance, and healthcare. Within this framework, statistical reliability analysis plays a critical role, embedding itself into the core of innovation processes.

This talk will showcase several pioneering projects in reliability innovation, illustrating how we are forging pathways between academia and key sectors like industry, medicine, and finance. Emphasis will be placed on reliability modeling for crucial applications, including oil well construction equipment, bucket tracking systems, agricultural machinery, and communication systems for mobile phones. By highlighting these efforts, we aim to demonstrate the impactful collaboration between theoretical research and practical industrial applications.
