Industrial reliability focuses on ensuring that assets perform their intended function over a defined period, minimizing failures and optimizing their life cycle. It integrates failure mode analysis, strategic maintenance, probabilistic evaluation, and risk management to guarantee operational continuity.
In the energy sector, reliability is critical to maximize availability, optimize costs, and meet production goals. Globally, trends move toward predictive models, continuous monitoring, and advanced analytics in the U.S., Europe, and LATAM.
