Cyber Resilience Act
January 28, 2026
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) obliges manufacturers of digital products to ensure end-to-end cyber security - from development to support. Binding EU-wide requirements will apply from 2027, and non-compliance will result in severe penalties. In our webinar, experts from VDMA and TÜV Rheinland will be on hand to answer your questions and discuss the following aspects:
- Why is the CRA relevant for machinery and plant manufacturers?
- Who and which products are affected?
- Requirements and obligations - consequences of non-compliance
- Timeline: important deadlines
3D Machine Vision
March 11, 2026
In this event, we will highlight various technologies used in three-dimensional computer vision. These include time-of-flight cameras, stereo systems, and systems that rely on structured light projection or laser triangulation.
We will also discuss the application of the above-mentioned methods and the further development of the technology. Neutral speakers from research and science, such as those from the Fraunhofer Institutes, often present exciting extensions or experimental application scenarios for established technologies. Presentations by market analysts round off the Wiley Tech Talks.
Target audience
The event brings together international experts from research and industry to discuss current developments. The aim is to highlight both technological innovations and practical solutions.
