Our Story
DSD Laboratories was founded in 1978 by Bart Guerreri, a Rochester Institute of Technology graduate with experience at Raytheon and IBM’s research labs, where he contributed to advanced logic units for the IBM 3270 computer. Originally established as Digital Systems and Display Laboratory, the company’s early focus reflected Bart’s work designing digital systems and display technologies for the Air Force Weather Command, including the NORAD 427M Display Console (pictured). What began as a small consulting operation out of his home in Framingham, Massachusetts quickly evolved into a company focused on designing specialized hardware and software systems.
