"est adapté aux applications où les dépassements du point de consigne doivent être réduits au maximum".
Thank you is advance.
reduced to the minimum? - reduire au maximum sounds almost like an oxymoron, no?

French term (edited):
d�passements du point de consigne doivent �tre r�duits au maximum
Selected
reduced as much as possible
This apparent contradiction is VERY common in French!
"reduced as much as possible" or "kept as low as possible" also conveys the possible ambiguity you raise.

: 'dépassements de points de consigne' could be 'set-point overshoots'

Comment: "Thank you.
I selected this answer since it was not the number of overshoots that had to be reduced but the values of the overshoots that had to be kept as low as possible
Thank you both for answering."

kept to the strict minimum
suitable for applications where the number of times the "point de consigne" is exceeded must/has to be kept to the strict minimum.
I have left "point de consigne" since I haven't a clue what this sentence is talking about!

: Yes, it's the first of the asker's two options. "Point de consigne" is a setpoint or setting.

Discussion
I wonder if it is the number of exceeding occurrences that has to be kept to a minimum or if it means that when some values exceed the setpoint it has to be by as little as possible ?
