Heidenhain will provide OMIC R&D with immediate data gathering capability, and the two organizations plan to work together on training and workforce development.
The Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center Research and Development (OMIC R&D) recently welcomed Heidenhain Corporation as its 33rd member.
