About this event
If you work with machine safety, you know that turning component reliability data into a defensible MTTFd calculation is where theory meets real engineering judgment. This in-person session focuses on one of the most practical questions in ISO 13849 work: how to derive MTTFd from B10d and component data clearly, correctly, and with confidence. About the Event This meetup is built for people who want a more solid grasp of how reliability values are actually handled in the context of functional safety. Rather than treating MTTFd as a black box, the event centers on the relationship between B10d values, operating assumptions, and component-level data, and how those inputs affect the final result. The format is intentionally straightforward and useful: an in-person gathering where attendees ca
Who should attend
This is for people who want a clearer, more practical handle on how **MTTFd** is derived from **B10d and component data** in real ISO 13849 work. - You work in **machine safety, controls, automation, or functional safety** and need to calculate, review, or explain MTTFd values. - You are responsible for **risk reduction, safety validation, or compliance documentation** and want a stronger basis for your assumptions and calculations. - You design or assess systems that rely on **electromechanical or safety-related components**, and you need to interpret manufacturer reliability data with more confidence. - You have run into uncertainty around **B10d values, duty cycles, operating profiles, or missing component data**, and you want practical ways to think through those gaps. - You are comfortable with technical discussion and want to **compare approaches with peers**, not just read the standard in isolation. - You are newer to ISO 13849 but already close enough to the work to benefit from a focused, in-person conversation about how these calculations are handled. If you have ever looked at a data sheet and thought, "I know this matters, but I want to be more confident in how I use it," you will likely get real value from this session.
