Vero and MIRDC sign collaboration agreement to promote VISI in Taiwan.

21 June 2010

Vero Software has entered into an agreement with the MIRDC (Metal Industries Research and Development Centre) of Taiwan to link its CAD and CAM applications with MIRDC software products and jointly promote these applications to the mould and die makers of Taiwan and China.

Under the agreement, MIRDC will link its ERP products to Vero’s VISI die design and manufacturing applications. MIRDC will also promote and train potential and existing customers on the use and benefits of the software to further their capabilities in advanced mould and die applications.

Originally founded in 1963, MIRDC was setup to promote the growth and transformation of metal-related industries in Taiwan. To meet the demands of local industries, the centre has increasingly allocated its resources to research and now it is the second largest research and development organisation in Taiwan and the largest organisation specifically focussed on the design and manufacturing of moulds and dies. Partly government funded, MIRDC provides services to the manufacturing community with bespoke projects for rapid manufacture, green and lean manufacture as well as value added services for project management and automation.

Specific areas of expertise include castings, metal forming, precision forming, precision mould technologies, precision press manufacture, welding, surface treatment, R & D, inspection, green technologies and many others.
