Component lifecycle management and obsolescence prevention in long-life vehicles
In the automotive and railway industries, where electronic systems are expected to remain operational for 10 to 30 years, managing the lifecycle of components is critical to product sustainability. Anticipating, monitoring and mitigating electronic obsolescence directly improves system availability, maintenance strategies and total cost of ownership.
ACTIA integrates obsolescence prevention into its electronic manufacturing services through a structured approach combining proactive component monitoring, lifecycle analysis and long-term sourcing strategies. A dedicated obsolescence management laboratory reinforces this process by ensuring early detection of End-of-Life (EOL) notices, component shortages and regulatory changes, such as RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) evolutions.
This approach allows technical teams to suggest alternatives, redesigns or strategic last-time purchases, reducing the risk of production disruptions and supporting long-term system maintainability. For critical applications, ACTIA also offers secure storage solutions, requalification of alternative components and retrofitting services to extend the lifespan of existing platforms.
In the context of long-life vehicles, such as trains or commercial fleets, this capability is strategic to guarantee operational continuity and regulatory compliance over the course of decades of service. ACTIA’s EMS for the automotive and railway sectors allows for its customers to enhance the resilience of their electronic systems and strengthen their lifecycle performance in demanding environments.

Quality assurance and certifications for automotive and railway standards
In industries with high safety and quality standards, compliance with international norms is fundamental. ACTIA, as an EMS provider, must demonstrate robust processes, traceability and continuous improvement to ensure that the electronic systems it manufactures meet the performance and safety requirements of OEMs.
ACTIA integrates quality assurance into every aspect of its EMS activities and holds IATF 16949 certification for the automotive sector and IRIS (ISO/TS 22163) certification for the railway sector. These two globally recognized standards ensure high quality electronic products.
ACTIA’s certifications result from concrete, daily practices: traceability through serialized production, Statistical Process Control (SPC), rigorous auditing protocols, etc. The quality system also supports specific customer requirements, including Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and product-specific validation plans.
In addition, ACTIA ensures full compliance with environmental and safety regulations such as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals).
