KMeleon, Inc. opens U.S. headquarters in Pittsburgh
Tesseract Options, a France-based software program improvement firm, has introduced the institution of its U.S. headquarters, KMeleon Inc, situated in Pittsburgh’s “Robotics Row.”
KMeleon supplies a singular resolution for the programming of robotic arms, eliminating the necessity to use supply code or difficult programming language. This expertise supplies main robotic suppliers with a easy, common language to program robots, in addition to a 3D interface to simulate completely different actions and measure cycle time shortly and effectively.
CEO Florian Dordain mentioned the corporate selected the Lawrenceville neighborhood – within the coronary heart of Pittsburgh’s “Robotics Row” – for its first U.S. workplace and headquarters. “It was an apparent selection, as Pittsburgh is the robotics capital of the world with an especially robust and supportive robotics ecosystem,” mentioned Dordain. This ecosystem consists of belongings just like the Pittsburgh Robotics Community, the Superior Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute, and Carnegie Mellon College, amongst others. “Pittsburgh is a spot the place connecting with individuals and establishing enterprise relationships is simple,” Dordain added.
KMeleon will lead change within the robotics business by way of its programming interfaces for industrial robotic arms. Previous to adaption of this expertise, engineers and technicians had been required to spend vital time to be taught and implement difficult programming languages. The KMeleon software program reduces programming time by fivefold and studying prices by tenfold.
In the course of the course of of world growth, the corporate was supported by the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance (PRA), the financial improvement affiliate of the Allegheny Convention on Neighborhood Improvement. The PRA attracts strategic funding alternatives and expertise to the 10-county Pittsburgh Area – comprising 10 southwestern Pennsylvania counties – and helps current regional companies to develop. The PRA, in partnership with the Pittsburgh Robotics Community, was integral in accelerating and streamlining KMeleon’s growth. KMeleon was additionally assisted by Sparksense, an organization that gives enterprise improvement companies for tech startups.
“We couldn’t have been happier to work with KMeleon on deciding on Pittsburgh. France has been investing closely, during the last a number of years, in cultivating a robust ecosystem of tech firms, with america as a key marketplace for development,” mentioned PRA President Mark Anthony Thomas. “By being in Pittsburgh, KMeleon has positioned itself to thrive as a part of one of many world’s prime robotics clusters. It’s additionally including to an ecosystem of transformative firms and founders that acknowledge that Pittsburgh is the place what’s subsequent in tech is occurring now.”
“I’m thrilled to welcome KMeleon to the Pittsburgh robotics neighborhood, “mentioned Pittsburgh Robotics Community Government Director Joel Reed. “They select Pittsburgh due to its focus of expertise, innovation and business collaboration. It additionally helped that the Pittsburgh area gives an in depth assist system for entrepreneurs and robotics leaders that’s no extra evident than within the partnership between the Pittsburgh Robotics Community (PRN) and the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance (PRA). Beginning an organization and opening new places of work is thrilling however not with out its challenges. Our two organizations exist to make the method of coming to – and rising in – Pittsburgh, the robotics capital of the world, simpler.”
