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.

R&D

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.

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.

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.

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.
