Still designing your embedded platform from scratch? That’s probably what’s slowing you down. ⚙️

Embedded development teams are expected to deliver faster than ever, while dealing with complex requirements, tight resources and unstable supply chains.

One of the most critical technical decisions is made early: the hardware platform.

ARM-based OSM Size‑S standard modules provide a solid, industrial-grade starting point for custom embedded designs. With clearly defined mechanical and electrical interfaces, they allow teams to focus on application development instead of reinventing core hardware – while keeping the design scalable for future variants.

In this slide deck, we highlight:

• Today’s key technical challenges in embedded development
• How standardized OSM SoMs reduce risk and integration effort
• The benefits from first prototype to series production

🔍 Why electronics manufacturing in Germany / Europe deserves more visibility? That’s exactly what we talked about.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Susanne Braun, editor at ELEKTRONIKPRAXIS and responsible for the Electronic Manufacturing Services area, to our site in Frickenhausen. 🤝

The discussion focused on Kontron Electronics and beflex electronic GmbH – A Company of Kontron, but above all on the current challenges facing the industry: supply chains, increasing technological complexity, and the consistently high quality requirements ⚙️

We were particularly pleased by Ms. Braun’s strong commitment to bringing electronics manufacturing “Made in Germany / Europe” further into the spotlight and making it more visible. An approach we are very happy to support - through openness, dialogue, and real insights into daily practice 💬

The visit was rounded off with a factory tour and a few anecdotes from the history of Kontron Electronics and beflex.

A warm thank you from Jessica Mermi-Ludwig and Holger Wußmann for the open exchange and for helping to further highlight the importance of electronics manufacturing in Germany and Europe✨

Security is defined at the very first moment a system starts.
In modern defense environments, protection cannot begin at the software layer alone. It must be anchored in the architecture itself.

HARAKAN F2 2 is designed with security at its core, combining hardware and software mechanisms to safeguard mission integrity from power up.

What this means in practice

✔ Integrated hardware secure elements
✔ Secure Boot and Trusted Boot processes
✔ Continuous system health monitoring
✔ Optional sanitization aligned with NIST standards

This approach helps ensure that critical systems remain trusted, resilient and operational under all conditions.

Security is not a feature. It is the foundation.

Your BIOS configuration might be slowing down your production – and you may not even see it yet.

Most teams focus on optimizing processes, machines, and workflows. But one layer often stays invisible:

💻 The BIOS.

Still configured manually.
Still inconsistent across devices.
Still a source of hidden errors.

It may not look like a bottleneck at first. But over time, it adds up in time, risk, and effort.

Now imagine every device running with the exact same validated configuration.

✔ No manual setup
✔ No inconsistencies
✔ No surprises in the field

That’s exactly where the Kontron ToolSuite comes in:

The central management solution for efficient, secure, and scalable BIOS configuration in embedded systems.

🔐 Compliance is just the beginning!

How do you turn requirements like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and IEC 62443 into practical implementation?

For Daniel Jakobsen (Senior Product Manager at Kontron), one thing was clear:
It’s not just about meeting regulatory requirements—it’s about sustainably improving software quality.
With the introduction of Axivion at Kontron, we achieved exactly that:

✔️ 100% CRA readiness
✔️ over 1.5 million lines of code analyzed
✔️ more than 15,000 files checked

👉 Daniel’s key takeaway:
Better structure, improved maintainability, and clear processes are not side effects—they are real value drivers.
