# Orchestrating robotic diversity.

Founded in 2016 and based in Pessac, Akeros designs ISI®, the software layer that gets machines, robots and manual workstations talking.

What drives us

## Three values, upheld since 2016.

- ### Team spirit

  The team comes first: projects move forward because everyone pulls in the same direction, towards a shared goal.
- ### Innovation

  Constant watch on what's new and a drive to solve our clients' problems. We always look to stay one step ahead.
- ### Closeness

  Agile support from the start of a project to the finish, and lasting relationships built on trust.

## The founders

Aurélien Wulsztat and Wendy Lautier founded Akeros on a simple observation: machines keep getting more powerful, yet they still cannot talk to each other. Together they lead ISI<sup>®</sup>, one heading R&D, the other industrial projects. Both remain your direct contacts, from the first demo right through to production.
