SCSK Corporation and KOLON BENIT to Sell Falkonry LRS to Global Industrial Companies in Japan and Korea

Falkonry, Inc. (http://falkonry.com/), the leading provider of operational machine learning for Global 2000 industrial companies, today announced the launch of a global partner program to meet the needs of the growing number of companies and organizations interested in selling or implementing the Falkonry LRS machine learning and predictive analytics system. As part of this program, SCSK Corporation and KOLON BENIT have begun selling Falkonry LRS in Japan and South Korea respectively, and Falkonry is engaged with other OEMs, system integrators, distributors, resellers and referral partners around the globe who are expected to quickly follow.

Over the last year, Falkonry has seen increased demand for its "ready-to-use" operational machine learning and predictive analytics system because it significantly helps improve the throughput, quality and safety in industrial operations. Using Falkonry LRS, customers have been able to improve performance by 10% to 20%, saving several millions of dollars annually. Because of these benefits, analyst firms like AGC Partners project the adoption of such analytics in the manufacturing sector to grow from 15% in 2017 to over 50% by 2020. Highlighting its growing market momentum, Falkonry has been recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor, an IDC Innovator, and one of Network Worlds Hottest AI-powered Startups.
"There is tremendous demand for ready-to-use machine learning because of how quickly customers are reaching operational results," said Dr. Nikunj Mehta, CEO of Falkonry. "The partner program will scale our ability to meet these needs by expanding access to customers around the globe, while enabling channel partners to participate in this exciting market opportunity."
Strong Demand in Japan and Korea
The market for operational machine learning is mature in Japan and Korea, driven by Falkonrys early success with customers in automotive and industrial equipment manufacturing. To expand access to customers in these regions, Falkonry has formed two new channel partnerships that bring established local presence, business relationships and customer support in their respective markets.
In Japan, SCSK Corporation, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation, has entered into a distributor agreement with Falkonry. SCSK is including Falkonry LRS as a significant piece of its Industrial IoT solutions, and believes this advanced and easy-to-use offering will enable its customers to realize increased productivity and quality.
In Korea, KOLON BENIT, a subsidiary of Kolon Corporation, has entered into a distributor agreement with Falkonry. KOLON BENITs Smart Factory offerings enable advanced process diagnosis and automation, and the inclusion of Falkonry LRS will add industry leading predictive analytics for its customers.
