History
The CDR Mediared Group
CDR was set-up in 1990 when a group of professionals with a consolidated experience decided to merge into CDR the skills they had developed while working at relevant projects with leading Italian and foreign companies.
The core group of professionals, which joined in the '60s, acquired its know how during joint activities carried out throughout four decades and during the development of projects involving military applications, biochemical and medical equipment, toll collection and EFT-PoS systems. During these years, this team has partnered or provided services to NATO, MILITARY BODIES and to companies like FIAT, AUTOSTRADE, OLIVETTI, ENEL, NCR, FERROVIE DELLO STATO, SCLAVO, HOSPITEX DIAGNOSTICS, MENARINI.
Over the years CDR has continued working in the fields of telematics and medical diagnostics following the steps of its core team, but has also used this “know-how” with creativity and integrated it with R&D activities in order to be able explore new interesting fields.
In the '90s these activities led the creation Mediared, a subsidiary company specialized in communications and multimedia. In 2001CDR decided to launch a series of innovative systems for the assessment of the quality of food.
Historical products
From the '70s to this date the core of professionals who set up CDR have developed and manufactured for AUTOSTRADE different generations of systems for the automatic collection of tolls, which included terminals, data hubs and modules for the display of informative and advertising messages.
The company has also developed several systems for the payment of tolls by means of magnetic cards (EFT PoS) with are widely employed in large distribution applications.
A similar trend was followed in the field of diagnostic systems and specifically in those of hematology and immunohematology, for which the company has developed several automatic systems for the determination of blood groups and Rh, besides designing innovative cells for anti-globulin tests.
Development sectors
CDR has introduced into the market systems for medical and veterinary clinical applications along with innovative methods for the determination of several diagnostically relevant parameters like lactic acid, cholesterol and VES. Other applications were developed for dental surgery, a field in which CDR has acquired a consolidated experience having developed several robotic systems for specific diagnostic applications like devices with Peltier cells for the machining of dental ceramics.
In the field of automated toll collection systems, CDR has instead developed innovative OEM products for the management of parking areas on behalf of FAAC , besides technologically upgrading the automatic toll collection terminals employed by several Italian companies that manage MOTORWAYS.
In the field of medical diagnostics, it has instead developed OEM analyzers for hemostatis on behalf of IL (Instrumentation Laboratory) a leading company operating in this sector.
One of the most significant applications originating from medical diagnostics consisted in the development of highly innovative systems for the analysis of food matrices and the measurement of the oxidation parameters of oils and fats, olive oil and of parameters for the control of diary products production lines that are currently employed by customers like FERRERO, PARMALAT, NESTLE’, DANONE and by some of the most important associations of OLIVE OIL PRODUCERS.
