In-house
capabilities
We design, build and test our data acquisition systems, measuring instruments and SDR radios in-house. Development, production, mechanics and testing share one roof: every ELAD product is born and grows here, from idea to series.

Research and development
- Since 1990
- Electronic design
Hardware design, firmware development, application software and mechanical integration in a single team, from the first idea to a product ready for production.
Since 1990 our team has been developing electronics from high frequency to high voltage: this is where corus data acquisition systems, ELAD EMC and RF instruments and SDR radios are born. Prototypes, environmental and electromagnetic compatibility tests follow current regulations, within an ISO 9001:2015 quality system certified by SGS.

SMT line
- SMD and PTH
- Assembly technologies
- 18.000+
- Part numbers in the automated warehouse
- Since 2007
- Automated component warehouse
Surface-mount line for assembling high-density boards, from prototype to series production of our products.
Once tested and approved, production stays in-house: SMD and PTH assembly and an automated warehouse where every component has its own drawer. This keeps lead times, quality and traceability under control, even as the project grows.
- SMD and PTH assembly
- High component density boards
- From prototype to series
- Automated component warehouse

CNC workshop
- 4
- CNC machining centres
- Since 2018
- In-house machine shop
- Rack
- Chassis and front panels designed in-house
In-house machine shop for chassis, rack front panels and mechanical parts, designed together with the electronics they house.
Having our own machine shop means designing enclosure and electronics together: holes, heat dissipation, connectors and shielding are planned for the board from the start. From prototypes to small series, we work with four CNC machining centres.
- Chassis and enclosures
- Rack front panels
- Dedicated mechanical parts
- Mechanical integration of the product

RF Lab
- Since 2010
- Anechoic chamber
- 19
- Tests and measurements in five families
- CEI members
- Italian Electrotechnical Committee
In-house laboratory with an anechoic chamber for precision measurements and pre-compliance tests, before CE marking.
Here we check that our radio equipment and electronic devices comply with regulations and use the spectrum without interfering with other devices: Wi-Fi, RFID, NFC, GPS, mobile phones. Every ELAD product goes through this lab before CE marking, followed by an expert EMC team.
