RAIT88 at Work: Giving Electronic Components a Second Life
August 27, 2026
RAIT88 is a valued partner in the CLOSER Project. The company specializes in the design, development, integration, repair, and management of electronic and robotic systems, with particular expertise in addressing obsolescence challenges for Defence and NATO electronic equipment. To stay at the forefront of innovation, RAIT88 actively invests in research areas including Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, advanced sensors, and Quantum LiDAR/Radar technologies.
Within CLOSER, RAIT88 contributes to:
Work Package 3 – Revamping and Reclaiming: T3.1 Advanced Refurbishment of Electronic Boards
Work Package 6 – Circular Reuse of Revamped Electronics: T6.5 Reuse of Circular and Revamped Products
Their work supports the project’s ambition to increase the uptake of revamped electronic boards by new EU customers, promoting circularity and extending product lifecycles.
Recent update
RAIT88 has completed the pre-processing phase of SELCOM PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), which are used as donor boards for component recovery, enabling the extraction, characterization, and reuse of valuable semiconductor devices within the CLOSER project. Following a detailed analysis of component datasheets, the team is now finalizing and validating the desoldering parameters to ensure that components can be safely removed without damage. This marks an important step toward maximizing component recovery and reuse, helping to reduce waste and strengthen the circular electronics value chain.
