How it started

History

KCF Technologies was founded by three Penn State researchers, Dr. Jeremy Frank, Dr. Weicheng Chen, and the Center for Acoustics founder, Dr. Gary Koopman. The company’s first projects included developing specialized sensing equipment for Black Hawk Helicopters, SMARTtether for underwater GPS, and prosthetics, among others. The company pivoted to their sole focus of predictive maintenance in the mid-2000’s, releasing their first vibration sensor specifically for industrial equipment and the first iteration of SMARTdiagnostics software.
