For industrial remote controls that routinely operate alongside PLCs, VFDs, and SCADA systems in mission-critical environments, non-compliance could mean market exclusion from the €200+ billion EU industrial automation sector.

Cattron's announcement spans its entire industrial and locomotive wireless control ecosystem. The breadth of the portfolio signals that the company is treating CRA compliance not as a product-by-product retrofit but as a

. Every transmitter, receiver, and safety system in the CRA-ready lineup has been hardened against the threat vectors that the EU has identified as existential to connected industrial equipment.
