Short News of DATA MODUL

Following the acquisition of JUMPtec GmbH (formerly a Kontron subsidiary) by congatec, DATA MODUL now gains access to the fully combined product portfolios of both manufacturers. For our customers, this means a significantly expanded offering, greater flexibility, and an even broader selection of established embedded standards – including COM Express, COM-HPC, SMARC, and Qseven.

A particular focus is placed on the expansion of the COM Express Type 10 portfolio:
•    A substantially increased number of variants for a wide range of application scenarios
•    Scalability across multiple processor generations, including low-power x86 platforms for energy-efficient applications

The SMARC portfolio also benefits significantly from the integration of JUMPtec products:
•    A broader selection of ARM- and x86-based modules
•    Longer availability and a broader range of variants, making the platform particularly attractive to new customers

The expanded COM Express Type 10 and SMARC module portfolio enables DATA MODUL to:
•    Offer even more precisely matched module and carrier board combinations
•    Accelerate project implementation thanks to a wider range of immediately available platforms
•    Enable long-term scalability without forcing customers to change platforms

In a market phase characterized by a decreasing number of available embedded partners, this portfolio expansion gains additional strategic relevance. Many companies no longer have direct access to JUMPtec products and are therefore seeking a new, reliable partner.

As a leading provider of module distribution, carrier board design, and system integration, DATA MODUL now offers its customers greater technological diversity, simplified project planning, and optimized time-to-market – further strengthening its position as a holistic embedded solutions provider in the EMEA region.

We warmly congratulate our colleague Leonie Haun on being honored at the IHK “Best of the Year” Awards 2025!

On July 15, 2025, Leonie successfully completed her apprenticeship as a Warehouse Logistics Specialist at our DATA MODUL Technology Flagship site in Weikersheim – achieving an outstanding final grade of over 92 points. This exceptional performance places her among the top-performing apprentices in the Heilbronn-Franken region. After completing her apprenticeship, Leonie joined our Warehouse team, where she continues to contribute her motivation, commitment, and expertise every day.

Each year, the IHK Heilbronn-Franken honors graduates who achieve top marks in their final exams, regardless of their field of training. This recognition not only highlights Leonie’s excellent performance but also reflects the high value DATA MODUL places on education and the development of young talent.

As part of our sustainability strategy, we consider training and employee development to be key elements of our social responsibility. Supporting young professionals, fostering their skills, and ensuring long-term employee retention are essential aspects of our commitment to responsibility, fairness, and future-oriented growth. 

We are truly proud of Leonie’s outstanding achievement and delighted that she will continue to be part of our team.

Congratulations, Leonie – and all the best for your continued success at DATA MODUL! 

At DATA MODUL, social responsibility is an integral part of our corporate culture and sustainability strategy. One of the most meaningful ways we put this commitment into practice is by investing in vocational training and supporting young talents at the beginning of their careers.

This September, seven new apprentices started their journey with us at our locations in Munich and Weikersheim. Over the next years, they will gain valuable hands-on experience, develop new skills, and actively contribute to our future success.

Our apprenticeship programs allow young people to combine theory with practical experience from day one, helping them grow into responsible and skilled professionals. As one of our new apprentices shares: “What I enjoy most is being trusted with real responsibilities early on and becoming part of real processes.” Another adds: “At first, every machine felt like a mystery to me, but now I am starting to understand how everything works – and that is incredibly rewarding.”

We are also proud that eight of our former apprentices have decided to continue their careers with us after completing their training, which is a great confirmation of the value and opportunities our programs offer.

We look forward to the new perspectives, energy, and ideas they bring to our teams. By training young talents today, we are actively shaping the workforce of tomorrow.

In a recent interview with Elektronikpraxis, our CFO Beate Junker talks about the requirements placed on displays in medical technology – especially when they have to function reliably under extreme conditions. Using the example of the corpuls3T defibrillator and patient monitor, she shows how DATA MODUL contributes to safety in emergency situations with its display expertise. The focus is on robustness, readability in direct sunlight, reliable touch functionality even when wearing gloves, and maximum resistance to vibrations and temperature fluctuations.

The interview combines technical insights with personal passion: as a volunteer paramedic, Beate Junker knows the challenges first-hand and brings this experience directly to product development.
