ELDES s.r.l. was founded in 1993 with the purpose of providing hardware design and software development in the fields of automation and remote control of technological systems.

Well-established competencies of some of its founders, derived from a long-standing experience in the field of radars, have enabled an expansion of ELDES´ field of activity into digital signal processing as applied to meteorological radars and, making the most of the two mainstreams, to the remote control of radar sites. The shift to these markets has taken place thanks to important partnerships, such as the one with the American "Lassen Research" (whose reference company in Europe is Eldes), and then with other national companies as Alenia, or foreign companies as Selex Gemtronik (Germany) and EEC (USA).

Operational organization
ELDES consists of two divisions which correspond to its two main business lines:

• Radar division, whose core business lies in the Meteorological Radar and Radar Simulators market
• Software division, whose core business lies in the Remote Control and Maintenance Software market

These two divisions take advantage of each other´s competencies in the development of remote control of radar sites, and Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS).

The ELDES Radar division operates in the market of meteorological radars and of defence systems, providing products and services to the main companies in this field, such as:

• Selex Sistemi Integrati
• Enterprise Electronic Corporation (EEC)
• Elettronica spa
And directly providing maintenance services to final customers such as:

• ARPAV, ARPA-FVG, ARPA-EMR
• Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR)
• Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano, Provincia Autonoma di Trento, Regione Abruzzo

ELDES Software division has, for years, been in the market of software development, related to remote control systems and development of applications for the remote control of Radar Sites.
The last Eldes SW product is a CMMS named "GEMA3000", a SW developed to complete the course of the control - maintenance planning, ring for industrial sites and plant.
