<title>onsemi Charts Path to Power the Next Decade of Innovation</title>
<link>https://antaranusa.com/antaranusa-business/onsemi-Charts-Path-to-Power-the-Next-Decade-of-Innovation</link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/photo/berita/dir092026/6106_onsemi-Charts-Path-to-Power-the-Next-Decade-of-Innovation.jpg border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 />  <div><br></div><div><div>Company outlines a $213 billion market opportunity as power becomes the foundational technology layer from infrastructure to physical applications</div><div><br></div><div>SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- onsemi (NASDAQ: ON) today outlined its long-term growth strategy to lead one of the largest and most consequential technology shifts of the next decade by solving the growing power constraints limiting the advancement of AI, electrification and automation.</div><div><br></div><div>As these markets converge around common technology requirements, onsemi is leveraging its differentiated portfolio across power and sensing to address a $213 billion market opportunity and solve the needs of some of the most important technology trends shaping the global economy.</div><div><br></div><div>"Every transformational technology eventually encounters a physical constraint. As AI, electrification and automation continue to scale, power density is emerging as one of the defining engineering challenges of this decade," said Hassane El-Khoury, President and CEO of onsemi. "The companies that lead in the next era of innovation will be those that can deliver more energy while consuming less space. As that challenge becomes more urgent, power has become a foundational technology layer that will help shape the pace of innovation, economic growth and global competitiveness. We have spent years building deep expertise and a broad portfolio across power and sensing to help customers solve this challenge and enable the next generation of intelligent machines."</div><div><br></div><div>Unlocking a $213 Billion Opportunity</div><div><br></div><div>onsemi sees a $213 billion total addressable market by 2030 spanning automotive, industrial, AI data center and emerging applications. Although these markets are often viewed separately, they increasingly rely on the same underlying capabilities: efficient power conversion, perception of the physical world, precision actuation and control, and connectivity.</div><div><br></div><div>This convergence allows onsemi to deploy common technology platforms across multiple end markets. A high-voltage technology developed for automotive electrification, for example, can also support industrial energy systems and AI data centers. Advances in sensing and connectivity can extend across vehicles, factories, robotics, medical systems and other autonomous applications.</div><div><br></div><div>The company expects this platform-based model to increase the revenue potential of its core technologies by moving from individual components to higher-value solutions and system architectures that address a larger share of each customer&#039;s design requirements. Through this approach, onsemi can generate greater leverage from its R&D investments, reduce dependence on any single end market or technology cycle, and grow faster than the markets it serves.</div><div><br></div><div>"Throughout history, foundational technologies have created outsized value because they enable everything built above them," El-Khoury said. "Power has become the common denominator across these end markets. For onsemi, that creates opportunities to innovate beyond any market trend, with multiple paths to expand content, gain share and capture more value."</div><div><br></div><div>Solving the Next Challenge: Power Density</div><div><br></div><div>Capturing this opportunity requires addressing a growing constraint facing AI infrastructure and other intelligent systems - power density - or the ability to deliver greater performance and capability using less energy and less physical space.</div><div><br></div><div>Increasing power density requires electrical, thermal, mechanical and physical performance to be optimized simultaneously. Increasing power typically generates more heat, while reducing system size can make that heat more difficult to remove. Improving efficiency may require new materials, device architectures and integration methods. Historically, these trade-offs forced system designers to make compromises among power, size, cost and thermal performance.</div><div><br></div><div>As these challenges become more complex, value increasingly shifts to companies that can optimize across the entire system. onsemi has expanded beyond traditional power semiconductors to build capabilities spanning technologies, products, solutions and systems. onsemi highlighted three technology platforms that will shape the next generation of intelligent systems and drive long-term growth across its key end markets:</div><div><br></div><div>High-Voltage Technologies: The Device Layer</div><div>onsemi&#039;s high-voltage portfolio spans silicon, silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), giving customers a range of options to optimize performance, efficiency, power density and cost. The portfolio includes vertical gallium nitride (vGaN), a differentiated technology, exclusive to onsemi, designed for next-generation high-voltage applications that can increase efficiency, improve switching performance and reduce system size where conventional power technologies are reaching their limits.</div><div><br></div><div>Treo: The Intelligence Layer</div><div>Modern systems must do more than convert power. They must monitor operating conditions, communicate across the system, respond to changing loads and protect critical functions in real-time. The Treo platform&#039;s high precision analog, high density digital and high voltage capabilities, enable systems to become more precise, adaptive and autonomous. This allows onsemi to add these capabilities around the power device, increasing the functionality and value within a customer&#039;s system.</div><div><br></div><div>Embedded Power Platform (EPP): The Integration Layer</div><div>EPP reimagines the package from passive housing into an active contributor to system performance. By using the silicon wafer itself as the package, EPP enables the seamless integration and interconnection of silicon, SiC and GaN technologies within a highly integrated wafer-level architecture. Multiple devices, including FETs, drivers and controllers, can be embedded together in a single package and co-optimized for electrical, thermal and mechanical performance. This enables complete power-system co-design, allowing electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics to be evaluated and optimized together from day one. The result is higher power density, improved system performance, reduced development complexity and faster time-to-market.</div><div><br></div><div>As customers increasingly seek complete solutions rather than individual components, onsemi solves a larger portion of the customer&#039;s challenge by reducing design complexity and accelerating development across automotive, industrial, AI data center and emerging applications. With this focus on the entire system-level solution, onsemi creates a competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate through individual components alone.</div><div><br></div><div>Beyond the Data Center: AI&#039;s Next Frontier is the Physical World</div><div><br></div><div>While today&#039;s AI investments are largely focused on building the infrastructure needed to train and run increasingly sophisticated models, the next phase of growth will occur at the edge, where intelligence moves beyond the data center into machines that interact directly with the physical world.</div><div><br></div><div>These physical AI systems must sense, decide, act and adapt safely in real-world environments, in real-time. Whether deployed in a robot, vehicle, factory, medical system or autonomous platform, each system requires four capabilities to operate together:</div><div><br></div><div>Power to provide the energy foundation that enables intelligent systems to operate</div><div>Sense to perceive and understand the physical environment</div><div>Control to execute decisions through precise real-world actions</div><div>Connected Compute to process, share and continuously adapt information at the edge</div><div>As this transition happens, many of these same technologies onsemi developed for automotive and industrial applications can be applied to this emerging market. onsemi&#039;s ability to combine these capabilities through system-level co-design and optimize performance across the full stack, positions it to deliver differentiated solutions and capture a larger share of the value created by physical AI.</div><div><br></div><div>"The most attractive opportunities of the next decade are emerging as markets converge around the same technologies," El-Khoury said. "The ability to efficiently deliver power, sense the environment and enable intelligent decision-making will define the next generation of intelligent machines. Our differentiated technology platforms enable us to solve power density across the device, intelligence and integration layers in a way no other semiconductor company can, positioning us to expand our content and grow as AI moves from infrastructure into the physical world."</div><div><br></div><div>More Information:</div><div><br></div><div>Shift in AI Power Architecture Expands onsemi&#039;s Opportunity</div><div>Extending onsemi&#039;s Automotive Growth Engine to Physical AI</div><div>onsemi&#039;s Financial Transformation Gives Way to a New Era of Growth</div><div>Video: onsemi Built to Break the Constraint</div><div>Video: Simbe + onsemi: Autonomous Robotics Through Advanced Imaging</div><div>Video: Siemens KACO and onsemi: Powering the Energy Infrastructure Behind AI</div><div>onsemi Investor Day 2026</div><div>About Embedded Power Platform:</div><div><br></div><div>onsemi Introduces the Embedded Power Platform, a Breakthrough Architecture for the AI Era</div><div>Subaru to Evaluate onsemi&#039;s Embedded Power Platform for Future EVs</div><div>Media Assets: Embedded Power Platform</div><div>About Embedded Power Platform</div><div>Subaru and onsemi: Strengthening Vehicle Safety and Efficiency</div><div>Video: Embedded Power Platform Transforms Power System Design</div><div>Video: Expert Insights on the Embedded Power Platform&nbsp;</div><div>Video: Go Inside: EPP at Innovation Center Fab</div><div>Technical Documentation: Embedded Power Platform</div><div>Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements</div><div><br></div><div>This press release includes "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined in Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

<title>onsemi Introduces the Embedded Power Platform, a Breakthrough Architecture for the AI Era</title>
<link>https://antaranusa.com/antaranusa-business/onsemi-Introduces-the-Embedded-Power-Platform--a-Breakthrough-Architecture-for-the-AI-Era</link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/photo/berita/dir092026/5002_onsemi-Introduces-the-Embedded-Power-Platform--a-Breakthrough-Architecture-for-the-AI-Era.jpg border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 />  <div><br></div><div><div>Platform uses silicon wafer itself as the package and introduces a highly integrated approach to power system design across automotive, industrial, and AI data center markets</div><div><br></div><div>Summary: onsemi today unveiled the Embedded Power Platform (EPP), redefining system power delivery through unprecedented power density and integration of multiple dies into a single silicon device. By jointly optimizing electrical, mechanical and thermal performance within a single architecture, EPP enables up to 3 - 5x higher power density compared with current solutions with a highly integrated approach to power system design. This helps customers reduce complexity while scaling for the increasing demands of AI infrastructure and electrification.</div><div><br></div><div>SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- onsemi today unveiled the Embedded Power Platform (EPP), a breakthrough architecture that uses the silicon wafer itself as the foundation of the package and introduces a highly integrated approach to power system design.</div><div><br></div><div>Designed as a scalable platform, EPP brings electrical, mechanical and thermal design together from the outset to help customers achieve higher power density, improve system performance and accelerate development in AI, electrification and autonomous applications.</div><div><br></div><div>"For decades, the semiconductor and the package have been treated as separate technologies. EPP changes that by making the silicon itself part of the system architecture," said Hassane El-Khoury, President and CEO of onsemi. "EPP brings together advanced semiconductor technologies, manufacturing and system-level optimization into a common architecture that can evolve alongside future innovations. This approach can redefine how power systems are built and create a new foundation for AI infrastructure, electrification and automation."</div><div><br></div><div>What&#039;s New: EPP reimagines the package from passive housing into an active contributor to system performance. By using the silicon wafer itself as the package, EPP enables the seamless integration and interconnection of silicon, silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) technologies within a highly integrated wafer-level architecture. Multiple devices, including FETs, drivers and controllers, can be embedded together in a single package and co-optimized for electrical, thermal and mechanical performance. This enables complete power-system co-design, allowing electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics to be evaluated and optimized together from day one. The result is higher power density, improved system performance, reduced development complexity and faster time-to-market.</div><div><br></div><div>EPP also leverages onsemi&#039;s standard 12-inch silicon wafer manufacturing capabilities, bringing key integration processes into the precision and control of the semiconductor fab. This applies mature semiconductor design tools, wafer-level manufacturing and advanced simulation capabilities to power-system integration, helping improve performance while accelerating innovation.</div><div><br></div><div>Subaru Corporation is one of the first early engagement partners for EPP, working with onsemi to evaluate how the platform could support future electrified vehicle architectures. Through the collaboration, Subaru will gain early access to engineering samples, simulation models and technical expertise as the companies explore opportunities to improve vehicle performance, streamline development and accelerate innovation.</div><div><br></div><div>Why It Matters: AI infrastructure, electrified transportation, industrial automation are all competing for the same critical resource: power. Customers need to move and manage more electricity within increasingly compact systems while controlling heat, efficiency, cost and development time. Yet many of today&#039;s power systems are still developed using traditional design approaches that treat power electronics, mechanical design and thermal design as separate engineering challenges, with each layer optimized independently and sequentially. Decisions made at one stage can create compromises in another, leading to additional engineering iterations, costly late-stage changes and longer development cycles.</div><div><br></div><div>EPP replaces that sequential model with a common platform that can be co-designed, co-simulated and co-optimized. This approach is designed to help customers:</div><div><br></div><div>Achieve 3 - 5x higher power density, depending on the application</div><div>Accelerate development cycles to as little as four months</div><div>Improve thermal performance and heat dissipation</div><div>Reduce electrical losses through lower parasitic inductance</div><div>Enable greater device control and higher switching frequencies</div><div>Identify design trade-offs earlier and reduce costly late-stage changes</div><div>Scale a common architecture across power levels, device types, applications semiconductor technologies</div><div>AI Infrastructure Applications: As AI rack power increases, more space and cooling capacity must be dedicated to the systems that deliver, convert and protect that power. This can limit how much compute capacity can fit within a rack. In an early EPP-based solid-state circuit-breaker design, the solution was approximately 50% smaller and 20% cooler than existing designs. By reducing packaging overhead and using the full EPP footprint to conduct heat, EPP can support more compact power systems, improve thermal management and enable greater power density in AI infrastructure.</div><div><br></div><div>Electric Vehicle Applications: Electric vehicle traction inverters are often constrained by efficiency losses, thermal limitations, development complexity and system size. EPP addresses these challenges with up to 4x higher power density and 15% lower power losses compared to conventional approaches, enabling smaller, lighter and more efficient inverter designs. Its scalable architecture supports a single inverter platform spanning low-end to high-end vehicle applications, allowing automakers to reuse a common design across multiple vehicle models and power classes.</div><div><br></div><div>This approach can reduce R&D and manufacturing costs, accelerate qualification and development cycles, improve vehicle range or lower system costs, and help bring new vehicle programs to market faster.</div><div><br></div><div>The AI era is creating new infrastructure challenges that cannot be solved by computing power alone. As power becomes one of the defining constraints on future innovation, EPP represents a fundamentally new approach to how energy is delivered, managed and optimized. By turning the silicon wafer into the package itself, onsemi is establishing a foundation for the next generation of AI, electrification and autonomous systems.</div><div><br></div><div>Availability: EPP is expected to begin sampling in 2026 with strategic customers and ecosystem participants across automotive and AI applications.</div><div><br></div><div>More Information:</div><div><br></div><div>onsemi Charts Path to Power the Next Decade of Innovation</div><div>Shift in AI Power Architecture Expands onsemi&#039;s Opportunity</div><div>Extending onsemi&#039;s Automotive Growth Engine to Physical AI</div><div>onsemi&#039;s Financial Transformation Gives Way to a New Era of Growth</div><div>Video: onsemi Built to Break the Constraint</div><div>Video: Simbe + onsemi: Autonomous Robotics Through Advanced Imaging</div><div>Video: Siemens KACO and onsemi: Powering the Energy Infrastructure Behind AI</div><div>onsemi Investor Day 2026</div><div><br></div><div>About Embedded Power Platform:</div><div><br></div><div>onsemi Introduces the Embedded Power Platform, a Breakthrough Architecture for the AI Era</div><div>Subaru to Evaluate onsemi&#039;s Embedded Power Platform for Future EVs</div><div>Media Assets: Embedded Power Platform</div><div>About Embedded Power Platform</div><div>Subaru and onsemi: Strengthening Vehicle Safety and Efficiency</div><div>Video: Embedded Power Platform Transforms Power System Design</div><div>Video: Expert Insights on the Embedded Power Platform&nbsp;</div><div>Video: Go Inside: EPP at Innovation Center Fab</div><div>Technical Documentation: Embedded Power Platform</div><div><br></div><div>About onsemi</div><div>onsemi (Nasdaq: ON) delivers intelligent power and sensing technologies that enable electrification, energy efficiency, safety, and automation across automotive, industrial, and AI data center end-markets.

TakeControl packs two days with original research, practitioner sessions, and technical education.</div><div><br></div><div>The event, held September 16-17, brings together 40 speakers from companies like AWS, Equinox, EY, and Meta, across accounting, finance, audit, risk, and compliance, and offers more than 10 CPE credits.</div><div><br></div><div>The products introduced today all start from the same premise that accounting AI has to clear a higher bar than AI in other functional areas. Every output needs to be explainable, and every decision needs to be reconstructible for an auditor. The AI-powered products that FloQast is launching today deliver on that promise end to end.</div><div><br></div><div>"Accounting is entering a new era where AI can fundamentally change how teams operate, automating routine tasks and freeing up time for higher-judgment work," said FloQast co-founder and CEO Mike Whitmire, CPA (inactive), FCA. "What we are unveiling at TakeControl is designed to give accounting teams the ability to move faster with AI while maintaining the accuracy, governance, and auditability their work demands."</div><div><br></div><div>New Innovations Include:</div><div><br></div><div>Transform now builds agents from your workflows - FloQast Transform can now reverse-engineer the end-to-end workflows your team runs each month and turn them into AI agents. Hand FloQast files from a close your team has already finished, and Transform builds an AI agent that runs that process for you: documented, tested against numbers your team already approved, and ready to show your auditor. No IT or coding required - your accounting team builds it themselves, and they sign off on every step before it goes live.</div><div><br></div><div>COSO GenAI Module governs AI agents with COSO compliance built in - FloQast will soon operationalize COSO&#039;s GenAI governance framework so teams can wrap their AI agents in COSO-compliant governance - risk assessment, control environment and activities, and ongoing monitoring and assurance - directly inside the platform. Audit evidence will write itself with connectivity between Transform and FloQast Connected Compliance.</div><div><br></div><div>AI Assistant reviews journal entries before accountants approve them - FloQast&#039;s AI Assistant puts AI on every page of FloQast, answering questions, preparing and reviewing work, and meeting teams inside the workflows they use every day. Its first application is journal entry review, built into FloQast Journal Entry Management. When a preparer submits an entry, the reviewer can ask for an AI review before approving it. The Assistant flags errors and anomalies, scores audit risk, explains its reasoning, and recommends a fix.The human makes every call.</div><div><br></div><div>Detect flags transaction anomalies before the books close - FloQast Detect is an AI-powered transaction monitoring tool that learns normal patterns on a per-subsidiary, per-account basis, and flags anomalies before the books close. Each flagged transaction is assessed for GL impact, routed for review, and signed off with a full audit trail. User-defined rules layer on top, codifying the team&#039;s own review criteria and applying them to every transaction, every period.</div><div><br></div><div>Operational Audits allow teams to manage their entire audit universe in one place - FloQast Operational Audit is an expansion of FloQast&#039;s internal audit capabilities to cover the entire audit plan, including SOX testing, other compliance audits, and now, operational audits. Built around your team&#039;s own methodology, AI drafts the audit plan. AI executes your testing. One click generates an executive-ready report from live audit data. Evidence, testing, and documentation all live in a single view.</div><div><br></div><div>COSO Chair Lucia Wind Joins FloQast</div><div>In conjunction with the release of these new products, FloQast has hired Lucia Wind, Board Chair of COSO, as SVP, Risk & Audit Advisory. Wind oversaw COSO&#039;s publication of its generative AI governance framework earlier this year, the same framework FloQast is operationalizing in the COSO AI Module, beginning with a full capability, risk and control mapping. COSO&#039;s guidance is the standard against which accounting and audit teams are increasingly expected to govern their AI agents.</div><div><br></div><div>"My career has been built around helping organizations manage risk, strengthen controls, and build trust in their reporting, especially as technology reshapes how those functions operate," said Lucia Wind, Floqast SVP of Risk & Audit Advisory. "FloQast understands the challenges teams face as they adopt new digital tools and is creating solutions that make a real difference. I&#039;m excited to bring my experience to a team that is helping clients build finance, audit, and risk practices that are modern, resilient, and ready for long&#8209;term success."</div><div><br></div><div>About FloQast</div><div>Created by accountants for accountants, FloQast&#039;s Accounting Workflow Automation platform helps teams automate accounting and audit workflows with auditable AI. Trusted by more than 3,500 global accounting teams - including Lululemon, Chipotle, and Shopify - FloQast enhances the way accounting teams work, enabling customers to automate close management, account reconciliations, accounting operations, and compliance activities.</div><div><br></div><div>With FloQast, teams can leverage the latest AI advancements to manage aspects of the close, reduce their compliance burden, stay audit-ready, and improve overall accuracy, visibility, and collaboration. FloQast also offers the FloQast Certified Accountant (FCA) program, a free certification designed to help accounting professionals build practical AI skills.

<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/photo/berita/dir092026/9084_Quantexa-Named-a-Leader-in-the-IDC-MarketScape-for-Worldwide-Decision-Intelligence-Platforms-2026.jpg border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 />  <div><br></div><div><div>The IDC MarketScape cites Quantexa&#039;s strengths as: decision-ready data foundation, traceability and explainability, agentic assistants and workflows</div><div><br></div><div>LONDON and NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantexa, a global data, analytics, and AI software company pioneering Decision Intelligence, today announced it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Decision Intelligence Platforms 2026 Vendor Assessment, marking the second time the company has been recognized as a Leader in this category.</div><div><br></div><div>The IDC MarketScape evaluates technology vendors offering decision intelligence platforms, assessing both current capabilities and the strength of each vendor&#039;s strategy for the market over the next three to five years.</div><div><br></div><div>Quantexa&#039;s Decision Intelligence Platform is built around dynamic entity resolution and knowledge graph technology that unifies fragmented structured and unstructured data into what the company calls Real-World Context, a single, contextual view of customers, counterparties, suppliers and other entities.</div><div><br></div><div>For customers, this creates a single context layer that can be applied across different lines of business, from KYC and fraud detection to customer intelligence, rather than rebuilding a fragmented view of the same data for each use case. That context layer underpins a broader decisioning layer combining rules engines, machine learning, graph analytics, workflows and agentic AI, designed to automate routine decisions and augment human decision-makers with explainable, context-rich recommendations.</div><div><br></div><div>The company&#039;s AI strategy pairs large language models with this context layer, reflecting Quantexa&#039;s view that context and entity resolution are prerequisites for trustworthy AI in regulated environments. Its agentic offerings are built to be platform-agnostic: an MCP-based gateway lets clients expose this contextual data to any AI application or agent running across their enterprise, alongside a co-pilot embedded directly in decision workflows and verticalized agents planned for functions such as KYC.</div><div><br></div><div>Key Strengths According to the IDC MarketScape:</div><div><br></div><div>Decision-ready data foundation: Quantexa connects internal and external, structured and unstructured data into a single graph-based view, which the company positions as "Real-World Context" that supports both analytical exploration and human/AI decisioning across use cases.</div><div>Traceability and explainability: The platform emphasizes transparency in how data is matched and connected, an important consideration for organizations that must justify or audit automated and augmented decisions to regulators or the public.</div><div>Agentic assistants and workflows: Quantexa automates and augments analyst workflows using embedded copilots and task-specific agents grounded in contextual data. Examples include data-quality and KYC-oriented assistants that help analysts diagnose root causes of poor entity quality and financial crime agents that accelerate investigative workflows that would otherwise require substantial manual effort.</div><div><br></div><div>Quantexa&#039;s customer base is concentrated in banking, insurance, and the public sector, with a growing presence in healthcare and other corporate sectors. The company points to financial crime investigation, KYC, claims fraud, underwriting, tax fraud detection, and customer intelligence as use cases where its entity resolution and knowledge graph technology are best suited to support decisions in regulated or high-stakes environments.</div><div><br></div><div>"Decision intelligence platforms focus on a closed loop of automation, monitoring, and continuous refinement of decisions, with generative and agentic AI now accelerating how that loop operates," said Megha Kumar, research vice president within IDC&#039;s Worldwide AI, Automation, Data and Analytics organization. "Quantexa&#039;s recognition as a Leader reflects a data foundation and approach to explainability that supports both human-reviewed and agentic decisioning, which matters for organizations operating in regulated, high-stakes environments."</div><div><br></div><div>"We believe being named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape validates the approach we&#039;ve taken since founding Quantexa: that real world context, not just data volume, is what makes decisions trustworthy," said Dan Higgins, Chief Product Officer at Quantexa. "As AI takes on a greater role in decision-making, organizations need a context layer that connects and enriches their data, so the recommendations they act on are accurate, explainable and grounded in a complete view of the business. To me, this recognition reflects the work we&#039;ve put into building that foundation, and the direction we&#039;re taking it with agentic AI."</div><div><br></div><div>About IDC MarketScape</div><div>IDC MarketScape vendor assessment model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT (information and communications technology) suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor&#039;s position within a given market. IDC MarketScape provides a clear framework in which the product and service offerings, capabilities and strategies, and current and future market success factors of IT and telecommunications vendors can be meaningfully compared. The framework also provides technology purchasers with an assessment of the criteria relevant to their organization and an evaluation of the vendors judged against those criteria.</div><div><br></div><div>About Quantexa</div><div>Quantexa is a global data, analytics, and AI software company pioneering Decision Intelligence to help organizations make confident decisions with contextual data. Using the latest advancements in AI, our Decision Intelligence Platform transforms siloed data into connected, contextual insights to empower the shift from a data-driven to a decision-centric organization.</div><div><br></div><div>Our customers use Quantexa technology to protect, optimize, and grow by solving complex challenges across the entire organization through modern data management, customer intelligence, KYC, financial and economic crime, risk, fraud, and security. The company has been named as a Decision Intelligence category and innovation leader by all of the major industry analyst firms.

AI FORSchung received the ITEA Award of Excellence for Innovation for developing AI-driven methods to compress and analyze large volumes of fiber-optic sensing data. The awards were presented at the ITEA PO Days 2026 in Istanbul, Turkey.</div><div><br></div><div>Connecting data and AI around clinical workflows</div><div>SYMPHONY developed a reusable, vendor-neutral reference architecture and demonstrated connected healthcare ecosystems across four clinical areas: prostate cancer, aortic aneurysm, atrial fibrillation and multiple sclerosis with clinical partners including Leiden University Medical Center, Amsterdam University Medical Center and Karolinska University Hospital.</div><div><br></div><div>Philips also developed technology within SYMPHONY to automatically segment and measure vascular structures in medical images, supporting the assessment and follow-up of aortic aneurysms. The resulting functionality has received FDA clearance and CE marking and is included in AV Vascular, a part of the Philips AV Cardiovascular Suite.</div><div><br></div><div>"Healthcare AI creates the greatest value when it can work with the information and clinical workflows that care teams already depend on," said Sanjay Gandhi, Head of Medical Affairs & Clinical Partnerships at Philips. "SYMPHONY shows what becomes possible when healthcare providers, researchers and technology companies build around open standards and clinical pathways rather than isolated applications."</div><div><br></div><div>This real-world implementation was demonstrated through many close collaborations including the one between Philips and Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), where standards-based integration was the focus.</div><div><br></div><div>"Together with Philips, the LUMC demonstrated in SYMPHONY how vendor-neutral, standards-based integration of clinical data, imaging and applications, including the AV Vascular Segmentation solution, can support real clinical workflows," said Jouke Dijkstra, Associate Professor, Vascular and Molecular Imaging at LUMC. The project created a reusable foundation for deploying innovative digital health solutions, also tailored towards AI algorithm integration, across institutions and disease areas."</div><div><br></div><div>Making growing sensing datasets more manageable</div><div>Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) technology is used to support medical device navigation during image-guided procedures, generating large volumes of position data that need to be stored and processed efficiently. Within AI FORSchung, researchers developed new methods to make these data volumes easier to manage, demonstrating that FORS position data could be compressed more than 20 times while maintaining performance within the evaluated datasets.</div><div><br></div><div>"The challenge extends well beyond healthcare," said Ahmet Ekin, Senior Designer at Philips. "Fiber-optic sensing is also used to monitor critical infrastructure such as pipelines, bridges and tunnels, where continuous monitoring generates substantial volumes of data. By developing approaches that can be applied across healthcare, utilities and civil infrastructure, AI FORSchung demonstrated how advances in one field can help address shared data challenges in another.</div><div><br></div><div>Both projects were conducted within ITEA, the Eureka Research, Development and Innovation Cluster on software innovation, funded by multiple national authorities including the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).</div><div><br></div><div>About Royal Philips&nbsp;</div><div>Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) is a leading health technology company focused on improving people&#039;s health and well-being through meaningful innovation.

Fosun RZ Capital menambah kepemilikan sahamnya.</div><div><br></div><div>"Nilai sejati robotika industri terletak pada penerapannya di dunia nyata," kata Dr. Hua-Yang Xu, Pendiri dan CEO RobotPlusPlus. "Selama lebih dari sepuluh tahun, kami telah mengembangkan robot untuk keperluan khusus yang benar-benar dapat diterapkan secara luas, dan putaran pendanaan ini memungkinkan kami menghadirkan solusi itu ke lebih banyak lokasi industri di seluruh dunia."</div><div><br></div><div>Menjauhkan manusia dari pekerjaan berbahaya</div><div><br></div><div>Di berbagai galangan kapal, fasilitas minyak dan gas, pembangkit listrik tenaga angin, serta fasad bangunan, pekerjaan pemeliharaan masih menempatkan para pekerja terampil untuk naik ke perancah dan struktur bangunan berbahaya lainnya. RobotPlusPlus menciptakan robot untuk menangani berbagai tugas berbahaya ini, meningkatkan keselamatan dan efisiensi sekaligus memungkinkan para profesional untuk berfokus pada pengawasan dan pengambilan keputusan.</div><div><br></div><div>Robot penghilang karat lambung kapal miliknya telah dioperasikan di lebih dari 100 galangan kapal, dengan pangsa pasar di atas 70%, dan telah digunakan pada lebih dari 10.000 kapal kargo. Robot-robot ini meningkatkan efisiensi lima hingga enam kali lipat dan menekan biaya keseluruhan sebesar 30% hingga 50% dibandingkan dengan metode manual.</div><div><br></div><div>"Tujuan akhir kecerdasan buatan (AI) berwujud dalam industri bukanlah laboratorium; melainkan lokasi kerja yang paling menantang," kata Zhang Zhenming, General Manager Qianggang Capital Fund. "RobotPlusPlus telah membawa armada robot ke skala komersial dan memperluas cakupan ekspansinya dari penghilangan karat lambung kapal ke berbagai pemanfaatan industri berat lainnya. Kami melihat potensi terbentuknya platform global dalam operasi industri otonom."</div><div><br></div><div>Skala Global, Litbang Mendalam, dan Keunggulan Data</div><div><br></div><div>RobotPlusPlus beroperasi di lebih dari 18 negara, dengan pelanggan dan mitra yang mencakup NOSCO Shipyard, Drydocks World, ST Engineering Marine, Saudi Aramco, dan Vopak.</div><div><br></div><div>Lebih dari 60% tenaga kerjanya bekerja di bidang Litbang, dengan investasi Litbang di atas 20% pendapatan selama tiga tahun berturut-turut. Robot-robot perusahaan ini telah beroperasi selama lebih dari 2 juta jam, sehingga menghasilkan data dunia nyata dari lapangan yang memperkuat model AI vertikal untuk lingkungan industri yang kompleks.</div><div><br></div><div>"Kami pertama kali berinvestasi pada tahun 2022 dan terus meningkatkan komitmen kami," kata Jin Hualong, Ketua Fosun RZ Capital. "RobotPlusPlus telah membangun keahlian mendalam dalam robotika untuk keperluan khusus dan pemanfaatan maritim. Peralihan yang dilakukannya dari robot individual menuju kecerdasan berwujud kelas industri dan solusi sistem menyeluruh menciptakan hambatan teknis yang kuat untuk lingkungan industri berisiko tinggi."</div><div><br></div><div>Copyright 2026 GlobeNewswire, Inc.</div></div> ]]></description>
