SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Finesse, a manufacturer of measurement and control solutions for life science applications, announced today that it has joined the HART Communication Foundation, in order to pursue an active role in the application of HART technology to the life science industry.
