More and more companies are choosing to bring back production and development from low-wage countries. E.D.&A. took this reshoring step in 2012. Now ten years later, this does certainly not do any harm to us as a Belgian electronics manufacturer. Our customers need flexibility, speed and quality, and so do we.
We use various standards and tools to ensure the quality of the written software code. The 'continuous build server' automatically checks every night whether the code is in line with the standard and with our own house style. Besides the static code analyses, we also have a Python framework that allows us to continuously test the code against customer specifications.
The downside of digitisation and the connection machines and devices to the internet is that they become more vulnerable to cyber attacks and other risks. Cyber security will demand more and more attention from both electronics developers (like us) and machine and appliance constructors (like you) in the coming years. What is E.D.&A.'s role in cybersecurity?
