2. Project Description:

MDA intends to meet the challenges by equipping itself with the most advanced equipment and software available worldwide. This, to support production by implementing a pioneering logic to optimise the production process according to a continuous line of autonomous cells, product-oriented and reconfigurable in nature. 

Complementarily, the company intends to equip itself with the means to better control the production management system and become autonomous in relation to third parties through the internalisation of new competencies.

Therefore, the global objective is to obtain an intelligent production control and management system, interconnecting all the resources in order to optimise the process.
