That's one failure per 16,800 hours, or 700 days. That's pretty goddamn rare.

We have created a piece of hardware to do automated testing and recording, and then we created a small production chain to and produced 100 of them. Fortunately, we already had all the design, development and production resources to do the project on site (yes, we were doing it all, not outsourcing to China).
