Analyst brief

The register carries 8 incidents against 6 of 122 tracked machinery-OEM entities, a 5-percent record rate. Type mix splits across cyber (3), fatality (3), recall (1), and injury (1), with no single failure mode dominant. Severity is bimodal: three entries at the lowest severity tier and three at the highest, with two mid-tier, indicating the record mixes minor disclosures with a small number of high-consequence events rather than a graduated pattern. Named entities are the sector's largest industrial-arm manufacturers, consistent with a concentration of coverage among market leaders rather than broad category-wide incidence.

Company risk ranking

Index 0-100: each documented incident is weighted by severity and by how well-sourced it is, discounted as it ages (half its weight every 3 years), then summed per company and scaled on a log curve so the highest-risk company worldwide is 100. Rank in industry: position among companies in the same industry that have at least one documented incident. Band groups the index: Critical (75+), High (45-74), Elevated (15-44), Low (under 15 with at least one incident); None documented means no public incident was found, which is not proof of safety.
