Multi Dimensional Integration

10/29/2026

Our Spring 2027 intern group is taking shape, and we couldn’t be more excited! 🎉

We’re thrilled to welcome 17 incoming interns and co-ops from NC State University, University of Cincinnati, University of Pittsburgh, University of Wyoming, Widener University and York College of Pennsylvania. That’s nearly double our previous record for a spring group! 📈

A huge thank you to every one of these schools for championing co-op programs and giving their students the chance to gain real-world experience. This group brings talent from across the country, and before we know it they’ll be working side by side with our engineers on real automation projects. 🔧⚙️

Think you’d be a good fit? This is the LAST CALL to join them. 📣

✅ $25/hr paid position
✅ Overtime and travel opportunities
✅ Housing assistance available
✅ Hands-on work in PLC & HMI, SCADA/MES, Ignition, drives & motion, electrical design and troubleshooting

All engineering disciplines are welcome to apply. Send your resume to [email protected] today! 📩

One important note: our co-ops are a full-time, fully immersive experience. With the amount of travel to customer sites, it isn’t possible to take classes at the same time. If you can commit a full semester to the field, we’d love to hear from you. 🚗🏭

What a great visit to Pennsylvania College of Technology last week! 🎓

There’s nothing quite like watching our alumni return to the classrooms where it all started, this time sharing the exciting careers they’re building at MDI and the opportunities waiting for the next wave of grads.

To the Penn College faculty: thank you for the warm welcome, and for the work you do every day shaping students who show up ready to make an impact. We see it firsthand.

Special shout-out to Matt B. (Class of ‘25) for making room in your packed schedule on the way to Texas.✈️🤠️

We hope to be welcoming many of these talented students to the MDI family soon! 💙

At this year’s Ignition Community Conference, we’re honored to be recognized by Inductive Automation for our work on an RFID Trace project that brought enterprise-grade traceability to a 100-year-old family bakery. 🥖

We partnered with the Digital Foundry at New Kensington to help Mancini's Bakery, a Pittsburgh institution founded in 1926, to help them pursue BRCGS food safety certification using RFID technology and Kanoa 's MES Trace Module. Certification requires auditable, forward and backward lot traceability, and it opens the door to the major retail and food service contracts that Mancini’s couldn’t compete for before.

Mancini’s bakes over 10,000 loaves a day in the “Old World Style.” This style of baking is a labor intense, handmade process. Skilled bakers measure everything by hand. Every loaf of bread is formed, baked and moved around the facility with no conveyors or automated material handling equipment.

Our solution used Ignition’s new Event Streams Module as the backbone:

🔹 RFID readers at key control points, from receiving to packaging, tracking dough and product as it moves through the facility
🔹 Event Streams turning raw reads into clean, contextualized production events in real time
🔹 New RFID devices automatically created as UDT instances and Kanoa assets, with no operator input required
🔹 Kanoa MES Trace building complete genealogy graphs from those events
🔹 Simple Perspective dashboards designed for bakers, not engineers

The result is a clear path to BRCGS certification and a level of visibility Mancini’s never had before. Management can now see how materials move through the facility in real time. There have been early wins on the floor too, like a dashboard that lets bakers see hopper levels instead of waiting on an alarm.

To give a sense of scale, the system is tracking more than 15,600 tags and 15 RFID readers, and it handles over 10 million RFID events every month, all running on a single Ignition gateway.

Mancini’s Bakery — a beloved, multi-generational Pittsburgh institution that has been making “Old World” bread for 100 years — worked with MDI to transform a hand-crafted, paper-based bakery into a digitally certified food manufacturer ready to compete at the next level.

What do our engineers do when they are stuck away from home on a holiday weekend but don't have to be on site? Apparently, hike 20 miles through Yosemite National Park! 🥾🏔️Three MDI'ers. Three different home states - Louisiana, South Carolina, and New York - and one pretty unforgettable Labor Day adventure!

We can't wait to have Jen join us as a full-time engineer after graduation in the spring!
