Since August 2025, wireless products have been required to comply with the cybersecurity requirements of the RED. This also applies to existing product designs that are still being placed on the European market. Across a variety of projects, we have supported customers with risk assessments, the implementation of security measures, and the preparation of the required documentation. This experience provides a solid foundation for CRA compliance. Discover through two real-world examples how we work together with our customers to implement cybersecurity in practice and the role we can play in the process.
Cybersecurity is becoming a mandatory part of CE compliance. The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces new obligations for manufacturers regarding product security, software updates and incident reporting. You know your product; we know how to embed security into electronics and embedded software. In this article, we explain what the CRA means for your products and how you can take the first steps towards compliance today, well ahead of 2027.
Our electronics manufacturing story began in 2012 with a single SMD line and a small team. Today, we operate a high-tech production environment featuring smart automation, AGVs, MES integration and automated component storage (Essegi). Through continuous investments in digitalization, automation and quality assurance, we have grown into a recognized Factory of the Future. And we are not standing still.
To further optimize our production processes, we invested in two advanced storage cabinets for SMD components. Thanks to integration with our MES system, automated component dispensing and built-in humidity control, we are taking another important step forward. #smartmanufacturing #smartwarehousing
Many organizations still view the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) as something that only applies to new connected products from 2027 onwards. However, this assumption is only partly correct. As early as September 2026, a mandatory reporting obligation for cybersecurity incidents will come into force. This requirement affects all existing products, including smartphone apps and server-side applications that are part of your product ecosystem. What does this mean for you as a manufacturer of machines and appliances?
The shift from BLDC to PMSM motors is in full swing. While BLDC has been the standard for years, sensorless Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) now offer clear advantages: higher efficiency, more torque, quieter operation and a more compact design. Eliminating mechanical position sensors also makes the system cheaper, more reliable and easier to integrate. Why choose sensorless PMSM?
We are proud to announce an important milestone in our technology roadmap. After months of development, testing, and refinement, E.D.&A. is launching ALPACA (Advanced Linux Platform for AI Capable Applications): our brand?new Linux?based platform that is shaping the future of embedded controls with EdgeAI.
In March 2026, E.D.&A. will once again participate in two renowned trade fairs: Embedded World in Nuremberg (DE) and Mostra Convegno Expocomfort in Milan (IT). Claim your free ticket and come visit us!
Why is Edge AI the game changer for machine and device manufacturers? E.D.&A. explains the major step forward for smart electronics in machines and appliances. Read more.
At E.D.&A., we continuously invest in technologies that give our customers a competitive edge. Over the past year, our engineers have conducted extensive research into the latest developments in Sub GHz networks. This form of wireless communication is known for its exceptional range and reliability, even in complex environments with many obstacles. The first customer projects already demonstrate that SubGHz is a future-oriented choice for those who rely on consistent and interference-free wireless communication.
