The second article focuses on digitalization. Titled
it analyzes the requirements of the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) in the context of digitally connected heat treatment systems:
Digitalization is fundamentally transforming the heat treatment industry. Modern systems are increasingly connected to digital platforms that collect and analyze process data, as well as monitor and control production processes. With the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the European Union is establishing, for the first time, a binding framework for the cybersecurity of digital products, defining requirements for the development, operation, and maintenance of industrial platforms.
