Mechatronics

THE NATURAL DEVELOPMENT OF MECHATRONICS IN AUTOMOTIVE IS AUTONOMOUS DRIVING

The word was first coined in Japan in the 1960s to refer to a synergistic blend of mechanics, electronics and software technologies for designing products that exhibit fast and precise performance.
The natural development of mechatronics in Automotive is Autonomous Driving, that will allow to drastically reduce the number of car accidents, exploiting the tire performance beyond the limits set by the human control.
In 2015 Danisi Engineering and a group of Academics from the University of Florence set up Meccanica 42, a company focused on the development of new mechatronic devices for the automotive industry, from Vehicle Dynamics Controls up to Hardware and Human in the Loop test benches.
Making ideas happen.

FROM WHEELS TO SEATS, EVERY VEHICLE COMPONENT HAS SOME LEVEL OF EMBEDDED INTELLIGENCE

Meccanica 42 is an innovative SME born from the synergy between Danisi Engineering and the University of Florence. Focused in managing mechatronic systems, Meccanica 42 can speed up the development of new vehicle functions, starting from its mathematical description up to the final deployment.
How Meccanica 42 can bring your ideas into the vehicle?
Developing mechatronic devices from scratch
Defining the best control strategy, always balancing performance and robustness
Designing and building custom ECUs for control and power supply
Validating mechatronic solution through XiL techniques
Including the Human Factor in the development of the vehicle functions.
The close relationship with Florence University allows Meccanica 42 to keep up with the most advanced tools and techniques, as certified by the number of scientific papers constantly published in the most influencing international journals.
