DON’T LET ASSUMPTIONS DERAIL YOUR CRA COMPLIANCE |
|
Most engineering teams are making the same costly mistakes.
"Plenty of time, we have until 2027"
No you don't; your development processes need to change now. If your product cycle takes 18 months, anything starting development today must already meet CRA requirements. The preparation window has already closed.
“No, no, this is an IT security problem"
It's not; 60% of CRA requirements are about proving your processes, not implementing security features. Can you trace security requirement SEC-042 from initial specification through design, code, and testing, with timestamps, approvals, and decisions documented? So this is a traceability challenge, not a security challenge.
“But we're already ISO 21434/IEC 62304 compliant"
Okay, that covers 60-70% at best. But what about the missing 30-40%? These are critical traceability gaps that your current tool landscape can't bridge. |

WIDGET FOR POLARION: APPROVAL PROGRESS |
|
Polarion offers approval workflows to validate your requirements – whether they're stakeholder requirements from customers that need feasibility checks, or internal requirements that must pass through your compliance processes. But managing these can be tricky and cumbersome.
The problem many teams face? Managing these approvals with complex reports or custom scripts that break with every small change. Good news: there's a more reliable way. |

HEATSINK THERMAL DESIGN -
KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR ELECTRONICS COOLING
|
|
Heatsinks are often perceived to be the magic answer to all electronics cooling challenges. A heatsink makes heat spread out, so that it passes to the air over a much larger surface area than it would otherwise. Air then carries the heat away, cooling the electronics that generated it. So, why not place a heatsink on top of any thermally critical component?
Simulation can illustrate the answer. With a 3D thermal simulation and analysis tool, product designers can model a product, or part of a product, and then observe a wealth of information about the air and heat flow within and around it. Simulation aids informed decisions about how to use heatsinks and where to put them.

EUROPEAN EMS LEADER SAVES €700,000 PER YEAR BY STANDARDIZING PCB ENGINEERING
|
|
Using Valor Process Preparation saved Connect Group engineers approximately two hours of FPT programming per project multiplied by 500 projects per year, for a total of 1,000 hours. When transferring a project to a different site, the process previously took an average of eight hours. Using Valor Process Preparation, the task is now completed within minutes. |
