About us

MDA è stata fondata nel 2003 da Roberto Da Forno (Ph.D., Ingegneria Meccanica, Prof. presso l'Università di Padova), Alessio Burlon (Fisico), Sergio Badocco (Ingegnere Elettronico).

I soci fondatori provengono da decenni di esperienza in automazione industriale, robotica applicata, diagnostica di processo, computer vision e analisi CFD (fluidodinamica).

Grazie a questo know-how multidisciplinare, MDA è sempre stata il partner perfetto per integrare un approccio scientifico/multifisico innovativo nelle applicazioni industriali.

Dario Da Rech (Ingegnere dell'Informazione) è entrato a far parte dell'azienda alla fine del 2013, apportando le sue competenze in Computer Science e Computer Vision per completare e migliorare le competenze che MDA può offrire ai propri clienti.
