Estimation and Control for Industrial Products Reliability under Failure Trials

الملخص EN

In practices, most industrial products are subject to sudden failure and only failure information can be collected, which presents a great challenge for reliability prediction of modern devices.

To address this issue, our paper proposes a dynamic reliability estimation and control for industrial products under regular failure trials.

The failure trial is performed at different operational time points of the products, which provides sole data source for evaluating the status of industrial products.

We use Bayesian approach to dynamically estimate the industrial products when the failure trial is available.

The estimated reliability is updated using a point estimate with new available data.

To maintain the reliability of products at a desirable status, a reliability control method is presented to monitor the confidence interval of reliability distribution.

The lower limit of confidence interval is maintained above a control limit, which indicates that a corresponding quality-assurance action is preferable.

The proposed reliability estimation and control approach is demonstrated using a case of light-emitting diodes under failure trials at production process.

The obtained results indicate the effectiveness of our estimation and control model.
