Involving more standards, such as OPC UA, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) will both impact upon and help automation/robotics machine manufacturers, suppliers and their customers. Further, there is a potential impact on companies' reputations: machines that are not CRA-approved will result in loss of business and perhaps marketshare, and also result in possible future financial penalties. More on this here 👉 https://lnkd.in/evzsEH5U #CyberResilienceAct
