Industrial software

Software for industrial machines and plants.

HMI applications, monitoring and control on Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. One trade, thirty years: in industry since 1992, freelance since 2005.

About

One person, not an agency.

NDATECH is the sole proprietorship of Nicola Dell'Amico. I work as a freelancer: the person who answers the phone is the one who writes the code.

Everything on this site comes from work actually done. I started in industrial automation, then founded and ran a consultancy, and since 2005 I have worked on my own on software. For projects that need skills outside my field, I rely on a small circle of partner companies and proven professionals.

What I do

My work is software.

Applications that talk to industrial machines and plants.

Software

HMI applications and software for monitoring and controlling industrial machines and plants. Built for Windows, Linux, Android and iOS, tailored to the customer's requirements.

The software can be integrated with an existing plant, or written from scratch from the requirements.

Where I come from

Three trades in thirty years. Today I do one.

And I do it knowing what is at the other end of the cable.

  1. 1992 – 2000

    Industrial automation

    Electronics department of a company building stone-working machines: slabs and blocks, marble and granite. Electrical design and control software, commissioning in the factory.

    What I delivered in those years →

  2. 2000 – 2005

    Abel S.r.l.

    I founded a consultancy working in software, electronics and industrial automation. Design of microcontroller-based electronic devices and firmware development.

  3. 2005 – today

    NDATECH · freelance

    Since 2005 I have worked on my own under the name NDATECH, on commission for industrial customers and on products of my own.

    What I do today →

Field automation and electronics are not services I offer today. They are here because they explain the software I write: I designed the electrical system, started the machine, and saw what happens when the code is wrong.

Products

Software I wrote and distribute myself

Not commissioned work: my own products, which I maintain and distribute directly.

Reception Magic

Windows application for managing the day-to-day work of campsites and other hospitality accommodation: guest records, check-in and check-out, pitch availability, daily reports and statistics.
