2.2.2 Price, Age And Reliability (MTBF)

In addition to position, each segment has different criteria for:

  • Price: The cost of the sensor;
  • Age: The length of time since the sensor was invented or revised;
  • Reliability or MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure): The number of hours the sensor is expected to operate.
