Fail-Safe Systems

Fail-safe systems are designed to ensure safety and prevent harm if a failure or malfunction occurs. They operate in a way that, upon detecting a fault, they automatically transition to a safe state, such as shutting down equipment or activating safety measures. This approach minimizes the risk of accidents or damage by prioritizing safety over continued operation, even when technical issues arise. Fail-safe systems are common in critical applications like nuclear power plants, transportation, and industrial control, providing reliable protection and reducing the potential for catastrophic failures.
