Fri, 23 Oct 2026 08:33:00 +0700

*Introducing the industry's first Industrial AI Agents at the Edge, providing a practical pathway to Physical AI

*Built on HPE Private Cloud AI, autonomous AI agents operate directly within industrial environments, continuously monitoring, reasoning, and optimizing operations in real time

*Addresses three key barriers to industrial AI adoption at scale: data sovereignty, cybersecurity and AI consumption costs

BERLIN, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today announced a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA and HPE to accelerate the adoption of Physical AI across process and heavy industries.

While much of today's Physical AI conversation is focused on robotics, humanoids and autonomous machines, process industries face a distinctly different challenge. Operators must manage complex, continuous operations where reliability, safety, cybersecurity and energy efficiency are critical to performance. Yet until now, there has been no clear blueprint for how Physical AI can be practically applied across these complex environments.

Schneider Electric, NVIDIA & HPE share a vision to bring AI closer to industrial operations, embedding intelligence directly within the environments where decisions are made and value is created. As an initial demonstration of this vision, the companies are today introducing Industrial AI Agents at the Edge.

The solution combines HPE Private Cloud AI, co-engineered with NVIDIA within the HPE AI Factory with NVIDIA portfolio Schneider Electric's deep operational technology expertise to enable organizations to securely deploy and scale AI applications at the industrial edge, bringing real-time intelligence closer to critical operations while maintaining control over sensitive data, security and costs.

Many industrial organizations continue to face challenges when scaling AI across operational environments. Requirements around data governance, cybersecurity, operational performance and AI deployment can create barriers to broader adoption. By operating at the edge, the solution helps address three challenges that continue to limit industrial AI at scale:

Data sovereignty. Critical operational data is often too valuable, sensitive or regulated to move beyond operational boundaries. HPE Private Cloud AI provides the secure foundation for Industrial AI Agents at the Edge, enabling organizations to deploy AI close to operations while maintaining control, security, and compliance.

Cybersecurity. Increased connectivity can introduce additional risk across industrial and critical infrastructure environments. HPE Private Cloud AI reduces the attack surface by keeping and processing the data close to its source.

AI consumption costs. As AI usage grows, cloud-based inference, data transfer and token-related costs can increase, creating challenges for organizations looking to scale AI across sites, assets and operations. Deploying AI at the edge with HPE Private Cloud AI can help reduce some of these costs while providing greater control over where and how AI workloads are executed.

Through Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Industrial Insights apps customers can deploy, manage and govern multiple Industrial AI Agents through a single environment, simplifying lifecycle management, security oversight and maintaining full control of critical operations and infrastructure.

The first Industrial AI Agents focus on operational technology monitoring, cybersecurity and energy optimization. Their practical application can already be seen in industrial environments with companies such as CMPC Chile.

Operational Technology Monitoring System in Production: CMPC

The foundation for this next step is already proven at CMPC Chile, part of Empresas CMPC S.A., one of Latin America's largest pulp, paper and packaging producers. For the past three years, CMPC Chile has used Schneider Electric's OTMS in production to monitor the health and availability of control systems across its continuous pulp and paper operations.

OTMS provides CMPC's teams with a unified view of control systems, servers, workstations and switches, helping specialists identify emerging issues earlier, diagnose problems faster and establish clearer maintenance priorities. This proven deployment demonstrates the value of OTMS as a control-system monitoring solution and provides a strong operational foundation for the future introduction of Industrial AI Agents, with the potential to accelerate investigation and decision-making while keeping people in control of critical action.

The first three Industrial AI Agents at the edge

OT Monitoring Agents: Combines real-time operational data, equipment configurations, process topology, alarms, maintenance history and engineering context to understand the physical state of industrial operations. The agents identify emerging issues, reasons about likely operational impacts, recommends or initiates corrective actions, and verifies that the intervention delivers the expected physical outcome.

Cybersecurity Agents: Correlates network activity, control system behaviour, asset configurations, operational events and process context to detect abnormal conditions. The agents assess potential impacts on industrial operations, recommends or executes response measures, and validates that systems have returned to a secure and stable state.

Energy Optimization Agents: Integrates process data, energy consumption patterns, equipment performance, operating conditions and production requirements to understand how energy is used across industrial operations. The agents identify optimization opportunities, recommends or implements adjustments, and verifies the resulting impact on energy efficiency, operational performance and sustainability outcomes.

"The next generation of industrial innovation will be driven by intelligence embedded directly into industrial operations," said Gwenaelle Huet, Executive Vice President, Industrial Automation, Schneider Electric. "While much of today's focus is on autonomous machines, we see a significant opportunity to apply Physical AI to the industrial systems that power the world's critical industries. Together with NVIDIA and HPE, we are bringing together expertise in automation, AI and edge computing to help customers transform operational data into action, improving resilience, efficiency, cybersecurity and sustainability while laying the foundation for more autonomous industrial operations."

"Industrial operations generate vast amounts of data, but turning that data into action remains one of industry's biggest challenges. By combining NVIDIA Nemotron open AI models and HPE Private Cloud AI, a turnkey AI factory solution, with Schneider Electric's industrial expertise and OTMS platform, Industrial AI Agents can monitor, reason and optimize operations in real time, accelerating the path to Physical AI for process industries," commented Sri Kodali, Global Head of Developer Relations - Energy and Utilities at NVIDIA.

"Industrial organizations see real opportunities to use AI, and they want to be sure their sensitive data and critical systems will remain protected. Through our collaboration with NVIDIA and Schneider Electric, we're helping customers use HPE Private Cloud AI to bring AI closer to where their data is generated and decisions are made. This gives customers a way to expand AI use across their facilities while maintaining the security, privacy and control their businesses require," said Alexia Clements, SVP, Hybrid Cloud Solution Sales at HPE.

"For the past three years, OTMS has helped us improve visibility into the health and availability of our control systems. In continuous industrial operations, identifying issues early is critical to protecting production and avoiding costly disruption. Looking ahead, we see significant potential for AI Agents to build on this proven foundation, helping our specialists investigate issues faster and move more effectively from insight to action, while keeping people in control of critical decisions," said Mat?as Jory, Digital & Process Manager, Industrial Operations Vice-Presidency, CMP.

Together, Schneider Electric, NVIDIA and HPE are creating the foundation for the next generation of industrial operations, where intelligent systems can continuously monitor, reason and optimize performance. Over time, these capabilities will help automate the automation, enabling safer, more efficient and increasingly autonomous operations across process industries.

Wood Mackenzie: Geopolitical supply shocks and AI power crunch collide across global base metals

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 08:21:00 +0700

LONDON/HOUSTON/SINGAPORE, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wood Mackenzie | www.woodmac.com

Geopolitical disruptions, resource nationalism and an escalating power crunch are reshaping global base metals markets, according to Wood Mackenzie's latest analysis. As the global data centre pipeline surpasses 250 GW, demand for power infrastructure is accelerating competition for copper, aluminium and other strategic materials.

The metals impact of AI extends well beyond data centres themselves. Transmission networks, substations and dedicated power generation can require three to four times more metal than the facilities they support, creating a new source of structural demand alongside electrification and energy security investment.

Yet upstream investment is struggling to keep pace. Despite elevated commodity prices, project sanctioning remains below expectations as permitting delays, geopolitical uncertainty and increasing project complexity weigh on investment decisions. The challenge comes as governments place greater emphasis on supply-chain resilience and critical mineral security.

"Data centres represent an economy-wide power infrastructure challenge, but the bigger story is the collision between accelerating demand and increasingly complex supply delivery," said Lindsay Grant, Vice President of Metals and Mining Research at Wood Mackenzie. "High prices should trigger investment, yet project sanctioning remains below expectations. Without faster approvals and investment commitments, the industry cannot deliver the mine supply needed to support future growth."

Wood Mackenzie's analysis highlights four structural themes shaping metals markets and investment decisions through 2036.

Wood Mackenzie's analysis identifies four structural data points shaping base metals markets through 2036.

Copper: Record prices of US$14,759/t reflect severe refined market dislocation, with US stockpiling pushing domestic cover above 170 days while leaving the rest of the world in a 460 kt deficit. While Chilean mine output falls 5.2% in 2026, global mine supply is set to expand by more than 5% next year, ending three years of stagnant growth.

Aluminium: A supply shock from Middle East smelter damage cut almost 2% of global primary output, driving a 1 Mt deficit in 2026 despite Chinese operating rates reaching 99% and Indonesia producing 1.3 Mt. While the market is projected to return to surplus in 2027 as Indonesian output scales toward 3 Mt by 2030, underlying fundamentals remain supportive.

Nickel markets are expected to rebalance in 2026 as Indonesian supply restrictions curb production, with Class 2 supply tightening from 2027. Despite Class 1 oversupply and weak battery demand, prices are forecast to recover towards US$19,000/t by 2030, subject to Indonesian policies and sulphur supply disruptions.

Lithium and energy storage: lithium carbonate prices up approximately 130% from mid-2025 lows, yet raw lithium carbonate represents just 2% to 3% of turnkey storage project costs; US$60 billion invested in the lithium supply chain over the past decade, with US$150 billion to US$250 billion more required through the 2050s.

Electrification, geopolitics and AI: the demand context

Wood Mackenzie is tracking more than 250 GW of data centre projects globally, over three times the pipeline a year ago. AI data centre electricity demand is forecast to increase fivefold between 2025 and 2030 and exceed 1,000 TWh by 2035. In Asia Pacific, demand is projected to nearly triple by 2030, while grid constraints are increasingly forcing operators to consider higher-cost microgrid and off-grid power solutions. In Japan, data centres come online in less than five years against upwards of ten for grid upgrades, driving adoption of microgrids and off-grid generation at two to three times the cost of grid-connected power.

Copper: Supply constraints and inventory hoarding mask underlying demand

Physical copper markets remain distorted by US stockpiling and trade policy, which have pushed inventory cover above 170 days domestically while leaving the rest of the world with just 48 days and a 450 kt deficit. Although global mine supply is expected to grow by more than 5% next year, the longer-term challenge is investment. Wood Mackenzie estimates the industry must deliver approximately 850 ktpa of new greenfield copper supply annually over the coming decade, yet permitting, geopolitical risk and increasing project complexity continue to constrain development.

Aluminium: primary deficits and grid substitution

The aluminium market faces a supply shock this year after attacks in the Middle East damaged two of the world's largest smelters, knocking out almost 2% of global primary production and pushing the 2026 balance into a 1 Mt deficit. High aluminium prices and premiums, combined with low alumina costs, encouraged smelters worldwide to ramp up capacity and restart idled electrolytic cells. This was particularly evident in China, where operating rates reached 99% and output slightly exceeded the national capacity cap.

However, this additional volume and Indonesia's rapid growth (reaching 1.3 Mt in 2026 and scaling to just under 3 Mt by 2030) were not enough to eliminate the shortfall. While the market is projected to return to surplus in 2027 as prices soften, medium-term fundamentals remain supportive, leaving faster-than-expected Indonesian expansion and broader economic weakness as the only notable downside risks.

Nickel: structural bifurcation between Class I and Class II

The nickel market is returning toward balance in 2026 following several years of oversupply, with global refined output contracting by 2% in the first annual decline since 2015. However, this headline stability masks a deep structural bifurcation. The Class II segment faces widening deficits from 2027, as Indonesian NPI production consolidates below its 2025 peak under the weight of tighter RKAB mining quotas, falling ore grades, and recent El Ni?o-related drought disruptions.

In response, Chinese stainless steel mills are structurally increasing their use of scrap and Class I cathode in melt mixtures to hedge against shrinking NPI availability. Conversely, the Class I and chemical segments face ongoing surplus from expanding Indonesian HPAL projects and Chinese refining capacity, though localised sulphur supply constraints and power bottlenecks continue to present operational risks to new project delivery.

Battery technology and energy storage: LFP dominance and the chemistry transition

LFP will dominate the mass battery market through 2030, driven by Chinese exports, rapid gigafactory expansion and significant advances in charging speed. CATL's third-generation Shenxing battery targets a 10% to 80% charge in under four minutes. European automakers are pivoting toward LFP to preserve margins as global EV adoption accelerates across Europe and emerging markets, though subsidy changes have stalled US momentum.

Beyond LFP, alternative chemistries are advancing on distinct timelines. In April 2026, CATL secured a three-year, 60 GWh sodium-ion supply agreement with HiTHIUM Energy Storage, marking the technology's transition to industrial-scale commercialisation, with large-scale shipments in China beginning in Q3 2026. Wood Mackenzie projects battery module cost parity between sodium-ion and LFP by 2035. Solid-state battery mass-production timelines have compressed toward 2030, supported by strong Chinese policy backing.

Lithium and storage economics: capital requirements and price dynamics

Lithium carbonate prices fell to a multi-year low in mid-2025 before rebounding approximately 130% by 2026, but this volatility does not translate directly into higher project costs. Raw lithium carbonate represents just 2% to 3% of total costs in a typical 100 MW, four-hour turnkey storage system. An 83% price rise in Q1 2026 translated to only a 9% increase in LFP cell prices and an approximate 10% rise in turnkey system costs. Reference price lags of four to eight months provide further insulation, though cell offer validity periods have tightened to as little as two weeks.

Investors have deployed US$60 billion in the lithium supply chain over the past decade, supporting a tenfold increase in global refined chemical supply. Meeting demand through the 2050s will require a further US$150 billion to US$250 billion. Chinese developers achieve significantly higher capital efficiency than Western counterparts, meaning equivalent investment delivers proportionally more production capacity. Western markets need to broaden their capital pools to support ex-China supply chain development and safeguard domestic automotive manufacturing.

Across copper, aluminium, nickel and lithium, the common thread is that future supply depends on investment decisions being made today," Grant added. "Markets are adapting to a world where security of supply, energy availability and geopolitical considerations increasingly sit alongside cost competitiveness in shaping investment outcomes.

Dari Melihat hingga Merasakan Konsep Elegan: LEPAS L6 EV Selesaikan LEPAS Global Elegance Drive yang Digelar untuk Pertama Kalinya

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 08:10:00 +0700

WUHU, Tiongkok, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dalam rangka Chery International User Summit 2026, LEPAS L6 EV berhasil menyelesaikan LEPAS Global Elegance Drive pertamanya pada 19?20 Oktober sebagai bagian dari penyelenggaraan perdana LEPAS Global Elegant Lifestyle Week yang mengusung tema "TOGETHER IN ELEGANCE (Bersama dalam Nuansa Elegan)."

Perjalanan sejauh sekitar 700 kilometer dari Shanghai menuju Wuhu ini diikuti oleh 34 Elegant Driving Ambassador dari 15 negara dan melintasi Tonglu, Danau Qiandao, serta Shexian. Sepanjang perjalanan, L6 EV diuji dalam berbagai kondisi jalan untuk menilai dinamika berkendara, kenyamanan berkendara, kemampuan parkir cerdas, jarak tempuh, dan performa pengisian dayanya.

Merasakan Pengalaman Berkendara Elegan di Setiap Jalan

Pada hari pertama, rombongan kendaraan menempuh perjalanan dari Shanghai menuju Danau Qiandao. Sistem pandangan panoramik 540? pada L6 EV membantu pengemudi menghadapi kondisi lalu lintas perkotaan, sedangkan fitur ADAS mempermudah berkendara di jalan raya.

Thomas Jervis, Elegant Driving Ambassador dari Auto Express Inggris Raya, berkomentar: "Akselerasi LEPAS L6 EV sangat halus, dan penyaluran tenaganya saat melaju di jalan lurus maupun bergabung dengan arus lalu lintas di jalan raya sudah memadai untuk memenuhi kebutuhan saya." Ia juga menyoroti jarak tempuh kendaraan tersebut yang menurutnya secara umum sesuai dengan angka resmi yang diumumkan.

OPPO Find X10 Series Launches Globally with True-to-Life Imaging and All-Round Flagship Upgrades

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 08:02:00 +0700

SHENZHEN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 22 October 2026 - Leading global smart device brand OPPO today announced the global launch of its latest flagship smartphones, Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max.

Built to be a "Hasselblad True-to-Life Camera," Find X10 Series brings major advances in camera hardware and computational photography to deliver a more true-to-life imaging experience. Beyond imaging, the series introduces refined designs, upgraded displays, larger batteries, flagship performance and the new ColorOS 17.

"Find X Series has always been driven by our commitment to push mobile imaging forward and help people effortlessly capture the beauty of life," said Pete Lau, SVP and Chief Product Officer at OPPO. "With Find X10 Series, we are making one of our biggest leaps yet in mobile imaging. From an industry-first Triple 200MP Camera System on Find X10 Pro Max to the next-generation LUMO True Image Engine, Find X10 Series is built to reproduce the world as you see it and keep every shot true to the moment."

Industry-First Triple 200MP Camera System

Find X10 Series introduces a new-generation camera system co-developed with Hasselblad. Find X10 features a Dual 200MP Camera System, while Find X10 Pro Max pushes further with a Triple 200MP Camera System, bringing 200MP resolution across all three rear cameras.

On Find X10 Pro Max, the Hasselblad 200MP Ultra-Wide Camera features a large 1/1.56-inch sensor that captures twice as much light as the previous generation, paired with a 124? ultra-wide autofocus lens. The Hasselblad 200MP Ultra HDR Main Camera uses the new 1/1.28-inch ISOCELL HPC sensor, jointly developed by OPPO and Samsung and featuring DeepPix technology for breakthrough HDR performance. Completing the system, the Hasselblad 200MP Telephoto Camera combines an ultra-fast f/2.1 aperture with a 10cm minimum focusing distance, enabling cleaner low-light telephoto shots while also doubling as a telemacro camera.

Making this high-resolution hardware more practical for everyday use, Find X10 Series introduces industry-first 26MP default capture from ultra-wide through 9.9x. This delivers substantially more detail than conventional 12MP capture while keeping file sizes manageable. For maximum resolution, users can switch to Hasselblad Hi-Res Mode to capture 50MP or 200MP images on supported cameras.

To reach even further, the OPPO Hasselblad Teleconverter extends the capabilities of the 200MP telephoto camera on both Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max. With 3.28x optical magnification, it opens up new possibilities for capturing distant subjects, from concerts and cityscapes to wildlife.

LUMO True Image Engine: True-to-Life Imaging

Building on its breakthrough camera hardware, Find X10 Series debuts OPPO's next-generation computational photography solution, LUMO True Image Engine. By combining OPPO's latest imaging expertise with a more natural approach to image processing, LUMO True Image Engine is designed to preserve true-to-life color, tone and detail, helping photos stay faithful to the original scene.

Accurately reproducing color can be especially challenging under complex or mixed lighting. Find X10 Series features a New-Generation True Color Camera to capture richer multispectral color information from the surrounding environment. With this additional data, LUMO True Image Engine can reproduce colors more accurately across different lighting conditions, from subtle landscape tones to natural-looking skin tones.

For tonal rendering, LUMO True Image Engine brings the distinctive tonal approach of Hasselblad Master Mode into the default Photo mode. Rather than aggressively brightening every part of an image, it preserves the natural relationship between light and shadow, helping retain depth and atmosphere in challenging scenes such as backlit portraits.

LUMO True Image Engine also takes a more restrained approach to detail processing. By reducing excessive sharpening, noise reduction and AI-generated detail, it preserves more of the genuine texture and optical detail captured by the camera.

Combining LUMO True Image Engine with the 200MP camera system, which captures richer optical information at the source, Find X10 Series delivers images that stay true not only to the scene itself, but to the richness of the moment as it was experienced.

Professional Video Across Every Focal Length

Find X10 Series brings major upgrades to video. Find X10 supports 4K 60fps recording across all rear cameras, with its 200MP main and telephoto cameras additionally supporting 4K 120fps and 8K 30fps. Find X10 Pro Max takes this further, with all three 200MP rear cameras supporting 4K 60fps, 4K 120fps and 8K 30fps, delivering consistently high-quality video across focal lengths.

On Find X10 Pro Max, DeepPix technology on the 200MP main camera enables up to 17 stops of dynamic range, preserving more information across highlights and shadows in demanding scenes. Whether shooting a backlit portrait, illuminated signs in a city nightscape or fireworks against a dark sky, creators can retain more detail across both the brightest and darkest parts of the frame.

For more advanced production workflows, Find X10 Series supports Dolby Vision, ACES-certified O-Log2 and, for the first time on an OPPO smartphone, Open Gate Capture. Open Gate uses the full imaging area of the sensor to capture more of the original frame, giving creators greater flexibility to crop and reframe the same footage for different aspect ratios during post-production.

OPPO has also worked closely with Blackmagic Design to bring key Find X10 Series capabilities directly into Blackmagic Camera[1], including Dolby Vision, O-Log2 and Open Gate Capture, giving creators greater flexibility within a familiar professional shooting workflow.

For Find X10 Pro Max, the dedicated Tilta Khronos Creator Kit further extends its capabilities for professional shooting. The kit includes an additional handle, a 67mm filter adapter, an adapter for the OPPO Hasselblad Teleconverter, and an active cooling fan to help manage device temperature during extended video recording. Together, these accessories better equip creators for longer and more demanding shoots.

OPPO has also worked closely with Meta to optimize the video-sharing experience on Instagram. With Find X10 Series, users can now enjoy near-lossless video quality from capture to share, helping preserve the detail, color and overall look of the original footage when shared on Instagram.

Refined Design with BT.2020 Displays

Find X10 Series carries forward the Find X Series' clean and sophisticated design language. Its all-new Borderless Design features One-Piece Sculpted Glass that flows seamlessly into the camera module, softening the visual impact of the camera bump for a clean, cohesive look.

Find X10 will be available in Glacier Blue, Glow Coral and Mist Grey, with Find X10 Pro Max offered in Titanium Grey and Luna White. Inspired by classic cameras, Luna White combines a silver LUMO Camera Island, a signature matte orange accent ring on the camera module and a distinctive two-tone finish.

Find X10 Series also offers comprehensive durability, with IP66, IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance[2], alongside SGS Five-Star Drop Resistance Certification.

Both models feature flagship displays with ultra-thin symmetrical bezels. Find X10 combines a compact 6.59-inch display with an easy-to-hold form, while Find X10 Pro Max features a larger 6.78-inch display. Both support up to a 144Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate and 3,600 nits peak brightness, with Dolby Vision certification. For more comfortable viewing in low light, the displays can dim to just 1 nit and support up to 3,840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming to help reduce visible flicker.

Thanks to a new generation of OLED light-emitting materials, Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max are also among the first smartphones to support the BT.2020 color gamut. Compared with DCI-P3, BT.2020 covers around 40% more color space and is widely used in professional film production. When displaying HDR content, Find X10 Series can reproduce a broader range of colors, particularly in scenes with bright, saturated elements such as fireworks and vivid natural landscapes.

Massive Battery, Flagship Performance

Both Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max feature up to an 8,000mAh OPPO Silicon-Carbon Battery[3], delivering a substantial upgrade in battery life. Whether capturing photos, recording video, gaming or simply getting through a busy day, the larger battery gives users greater confidence to keep going without constantly worrying about power.

Both models support 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging and 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging, enabling fast and convenient top-ups whenever needed.

Find X10 is powered by the 3nm MediaTek Dimensity 9600M. Find X10 Pro Max steps up to the flagship 2nm MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro. Both are paired with advanced vapor chamber cooling to help sustain performance under demanding workloads. The result is fast, sustained performance across imaging, AI, gaming and everyday multitasking.

ColorOS 17: Silky Smooth. Flow with AI

Find X10 Series debuts ColorOS 17, delivering a new level of smoothness alongside more intelligent, system-level AI capabilities.

The new Living Flow Design makes interactions feel more natural, continuous and responsive across the system. Luminous Effect adds softer visuals and greater depth, Fluid Motion enables interface elements to move and transform seamlessly, while Flexible Feedback makes controls respond more naturally to touch.

Powering this ultra-smooth experience, the Luminous Rendering Engine improves rendering efficiency, while the Laminar Flow Engine intelligently coordinates system resources to maintain fast and responsive performance. Compared with ColorOS 16, app launch stability improves by 55%, Gallery thumbnails load up to 50% faster on first launch, and ColorOS 17 can keep over 25% more apps running in the background for smoother multitasking[4].

ColorOS 17 also brings more capable system-level AI experiences. AI Mind Pilot with Agent Mode allows users to ask AI to work directly with photos and files stored on the device, search across information and coordinate multiple steps to complete more complex tasks, from organizing files and planning trips to creating presentations and webpages. Through OPPO's collaboration with Manus, AI Mind Pilot with Agent Mode combines Manus' agentic capabilities with ColorOS 17's system-level integration.

AI Photo Agent makes advanced photo editing more intuitive while staying true to the natural look of the original scene. It can analyze a photo and recommend suitable adjustments based on the scene and subject, apply targeted edits through natural-language instructions, or use Style Match to understand the color palette, tone and overall mood of a reference image before applying a similar look to the user's own photo[5].

Privacy and security remain at the core of ColorOS 17. AI Call Guard uses on-device AI to detect emerging fraud risks such as synthetic voices and AI face swaps during calls[6]. OPPO's Private Computing Cloud protects cloud-based AI processing with end-to-end encryption and new post-quantum security capabilities.

OPPO Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max Availability

OPPO Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max will be available globally beginning in late October. The devices will be offered through official OPPO stores, authorized retailers and partner carriers across global markets.

Vincom Retail Partners with South Korean Premium Buffet Giant QooQoo

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 07:57:00 +0700

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 22 October 2026 - Vincom Retail has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for strategic cooperation with QooQoo Franchise Group, the company behind a network of nearly 90 premium buffet restaurants in South Korea. The agreement marks a step toward developing large-scale dining concepts across Vincom's retail properties through 2027.

Bringing International Dining Concepts to Vietnam

The signing ceremony was attended by Mr. Kim Young-gi, Chairman of QooQoo Franchise Group, and Ms. Pham Thi Thu Hien, Deputy CEO of Sales at Vincom Retail.

Under the agreement, the two companies will explore opportunities to introduce restaurant chains from the QooQoo portfolio to shopping malls and commercial districts managed by Vincom Retail. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City will be the primary focus markets during the 2026?2027 period. The partnership will give QooQoo an opportunity to expand into a market of more than 100 million people through Vietnam's largest retail property network. At the same time, it will allow Vincom Retail to diversify its tenant portfolio with established international dining concepts backed by proven operational capabilities.

Notably, the partnership will also extend to trade promotion between Vietnam and South Korea. Vincom Retail will support QooQoo's brand promotion efforts in Vietnam, while QooQoo will help introduce Vincom's shopping mall network to South Korean consumers and businesses. This two-way arrangement is expected to strengthen QooQoo's brand awareness in Vietnam while creating opportunities for Vincom Retail to build deeper connections with South Korean brands, business partners, and retail investors.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Kim Young-gi, Chairman of QooQoo Franchise Group, described the partnership as an important milestone in the company's strategy to expand into Vietnam. With Vincom Retail's extensive shopping mall network and experience working with international brands, QooQoo hopes to bring its distinctive Korean dining concepts closer to Vietnamese consumers, particularly in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The group also aims to serve as a bridge in promoting Vincom's retail network in South Korea, helping facilitate trade cooperation and create opportunities for long-term growth for both companies.

The agreement comes as experiential dining continues to gain popularity, with consumers increasingly visiting shopping malls not only to shop but also to discover new experiences and destinations. With its distinctive dining concepts and proven track record in restaurant chain operations in South Korea, QooQoo is expected to bring a fresh dining experience to Vietnam and further enhance the appeal of Vincom's retail destinations.

More International Dining Experiences Coming to Vincom

Founded in 2011, QooQoo Franchise Group is a leading South Korean company specializing in food services and restaurant franchising. The group is widely known for its sushi buffet concept, which offers a diverse selection of dishes in a single dining venue.

QooQoo currently operates a network of approximately 90 franchised restaurants across South Korea. In 2024, system-wide revenue reached KRW 397.6 billion (approximately VND 7 trillion). The company has also recorded average annual revenue growth of more than 30% since 2022, reflecting the strength of its operations and continued network expansion.

Beyond its QooQoo sushi buffet brand, the group has developed a broader dining portfolio that includes Blue Rail, a conveyor-belt sushi chain, and Always Shabu, a restaurant chain specializing in hot pot. Its business activities also extend to food imports, distribution, and e-commerce. By developing an integrated supply chain and franchise support system, QooQoo has strengthened its ability to manage ingredient sourcing, maintain quality standards, and oversee restaurant operations.

In South Korea, QooQoo Premium Buffet has earned numerous industry accolades, including six consecutive wins at the Brand of the Year Awards in the sushi buffet category. The brand has also appeared multiple times on Maeil Business Newspaper's list of 100 leading franchise brands and received ministerial-level awards in 2024 and 2025.

For Vincom Retail, the addition of QooQoo would do more than bring another major international F&B brand into its portfolio. It would also create opportunities to introduce new restaurant concepts to the Vietnamese market. Leveraging its extensive retail property network, customer reach, and experience working with international brands, Vincom Retail supports its partners in identifying suitable locations, expanding their market presence, and building brand awareness.

In turn, QooQoo's experience in restaurant chain management, supply chain capabilities, and diverse brand portfolio are expected to further enrich the dining options available at Vincom shopping malls, making them more attractive to families and consumers eager to explore international cuisines.

Studi Terbaru EggNest yang Diterbitkan di JAHA dan Pengecualian Regulasi di Negara Bagian Texas Memvalidasi Peralihan Menuju Prosedur Tanpa Apron di Laboratorium Intervensi

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 07:48:00 +0700

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Egg Medical hari ini mengumumkan publikasi studi prospektif dalam Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA) yang mengevaluasi Perangkat Perlindungan Radiasi yang Ditingkatkan (Enhanced Radiation Protection Device/ERPD) dari EggNest.

Penelitian klinis yang dilakukan dalam kondisi nyata di The Christ Hospital, Cincinnati, OH, menunjukkan bahwa perlindungan radiasi memungkinkan tenaga medis di laboratorium intervensi melakukan prosedur dengan aman tanpa perlu mengenakan apron timbal yang berat.

Sebagai bentuk validasi atas temuan klinis tersebut dalam praktik, Departemen Layanan Kesehatan Negara Bagian Texas baru-baru ini memberikan pengecualian terhadap regulasi radiasi negara bagian kepada Methodist Healthcare System of San Antonio.

"Sistem EggNest melindungi seluruh anggota tim sehingga mereka dapat memilih untuk tidak mengenakan apron atau mengenakan apron ultraringan yang terasa seperti rompi ringan," ujar Dr. Santiago Garcia, dokter spesialis jantung intervensi di The Christ Hospital sekaligus peneliti utama dalam penelitian tersebut. "Data komprehensif ini memberikan landasan berbasis bukti bagi tim intervensi untuk secara signifikan mengurangi beban pada otot sekaligus meningkatkan keselamatan terhadap paparan radiasi."

Temuan Utama yang Diterbitkan di JAHA

Pengurangan Paparan Radiasi Tanpa Apron: Perkiraan dosis radiasi tahunan pada area leher operator utama turun dari 86,7 mRem dengan pelindung standar menjadi 25,5 mRem dengan EggNest Complete (p < 0,001). Sebagai perbandingan, menurut CDC, penerbangan selama 5?6 jam menghasilkan paparan radiasi sekitar ~3,5 mRem.

Paparan Minimal pada Semua Peran: Dengan perangkat perlindungan radiasi EggNest Complete ERPD, dosis efektif total untuk seluruh tenaga laboratorium, termasuk operator utama, asisten tindakan, dan perawat sirkuler, hanya mencapai 1% dari batas maksimum tahunan ICRP (5.000 mRem).

Kinerja Apron Ultraringan: Penggunaan perangkat EggNest ERPD bersama apron ultraringan (0,125 mm) menghasilkan dosis radiasi tahunan yang jauh lebih rendah dibandingkan penggunaan apron berat konvensional (0,5 mm) dengan pelindung standar. Operator utama menerima dosis EDE-1 tahunan sebesar 51,4 mRem saat menggunakan apron timbal 0,5 mm dengan pelindung standar, dibandingkan dengan 1,4 mRem saat menggunakan apron timbal 0,125 mm dengan EggNest Complete (p < 0,001).

"Pengurangan paparan radiasi yang kami capai dengan EggNest secara mendasar mengubah pendekatan kami terhadap keselamatan di laboratorium. Saya merasa sepenuhnya nyaman bekerja tanpa apron," ujar Dr. Tim Henry, Direktur Medis The Carl and Edyth Lindner Center for Research and Education di The Christ Hospital dan mantan ketua SCAI. "Hal ini membuka jalan menuju masa depan yang lebih sehat dan berkelanjutan bagi operator dan staf."

Bebas Timbal Secara Bertanggung Jawab

Egg Medical menekankan filosofi yang fleksibel dan mengutamakan keselamatan: Bebas Timbal Secara Bertanggung Jawab (Lead-Free, Responsibly). Tidak ada satu pun pendekatan yang cocok untuk semua situasi di laboratorium intervensi modern. Teknologi EggNest dirancang untuk mendukung prosedur yang memungkinkan penggunaan apron sebagai pilihan jika telah disetujui, bukan untuk memaksakan satu standar praktik yang sama.

Zoom mengembangkan strategi AI melalui Unified Context Layer baru yang membantu mengubah percakapan dalam rapat menjadi pekerjaan yang tuntas

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 07:42:00 +0700

Perusahaan ini memperkenalkan serangkaian produk AI untuk mengatasi kesenjangan percakapan di Zoom Workplace, pengalaman pelanggan, perangkat pengembang, dan acara

SAN JOSE, California, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dalam konferensi pelanggan tahunan Zoomtopia yang berlangsung hari ini, Zoom Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM), platform terkemuka yang mengutamakan AI untuk menghubungkan manusia, memperkenalkan Unified Context Layer baru serta sejumlah produk baru dengan kemampuan berbasis AI.

Berbagai penawaran baru ini dirancang untuk membantu perusahaan mengubah konteks rapat yang kaya menjadi hasil kerja yang bermakna guna mempercepat penyelesaian pekerjaan.

Setiap hari, percakapan bisnis menjadi dasar pengambilan keputusan penting sekaligus membentuk riwayat percakapan dengan pelanggan. Interaksi dengan pelanggan dapat dimulai melalui rapat, dilanjutkan melalui telepon, hingga berlanjut dalam rangkaian pesan di obrolan (chat). Namun, ketika konteks tersebut tersebar di berbagai aplikasi, pengguna dan agen AI dapat kehilangan alur percakapan. Akibatnya, tim harus menghabiskan banyak waktu untuk memahami kembali hal yang terjadi, waktu kejadiannya, dan tindak lanjut yang perlu dilakukan.

Unified Context Layer baru dari Zoom membantu mengatasi kesenjangan tersebut dengan menghubungkan riwayat percakapan dengan dokumen dan data yang relevan. Secara keseluruhan, berbagai sumber tersebut memberikan gambaran yang lebih utuh kepada pengguna dan agen AI mengenai pekerjaan yang sedang dilakukan serta langkah selanjutnya yang perlu diambil.

Lapisan baru ini menghubungkan percakapan dengan aktivitas yang berlangsung hampir secara real time di Zoom dan aplikasi pihak ketiga yang terintegrasi. Dengan demikian, pengguna dan agen AI dapat mengakses konteks bisnis yang sebelumnya mungkin hilang atau terisolasi dalam sistem lain. Pengaturan dan kontrol yang dapat dikonfigurasi membantu mengelola akses, sedangkan koordinasi antar agen AI mengubah konteks bisnis menjadi wawasan yang dapat ditindaklanjuti.

Zoom semakin berkembang menjadi sistem tindakan melalui pemanfaatan perangkat AI perusahaan secara luas oleh berbagai organisasi, baik besar maupun kecil.

Jumlah pelanggan Zoom Virtual Agent melonjak sebesar 256%1. Sementara itu, pengguna yang memanfaatkan berbagai perangkat AI Zoom melaporkan bahwa mereka dapat menyelesaikan tugas dua kali lebih cepat. Sebanyak 72% pengguna menyatakan bahwa teknologi tersebut memberikan dampak bisnis yang tinggi atau sangat tinggi, dibandingkan dengan rata-rata pasar sebesar 63%2. Zoom memperkirakan pendapatan tahunannya akan melampaui US$5 miliar pada tahun ini.

Jangkauan Zoom di kalangan pelanggan perusahaan semakin luas di berbagai industri, mulai dari layanan kesehatan, jasa keuangan, ritel, hingga pendidikan. Hal ini mendukung upaya Zoom dalam mewujudkan visinya tentang produktivitas di tempat kerja, yakni mempersempit kesenjangan antara percakapan dan eksekusi.

"Kemampuan model AI bergantung pada tingkat pemahamannya terhadap bisnis Anda, dan konteks tersebutlah yang menjadi pembeda utama," ujar Eric Yuan, pendiri sekaligus CEO Zoom. "Pengalaman penggunaan produk yang terfragmentasi menyebabkan percakapan terisolasi, menghambat pengambilan keputusan, dan memperlambat kinerja bisnis. Kini, melalui Unified Context Layer, kami sedang membangun fondasi bagi sistem tindakan yang dirancang untuk mengubah percakapan menjadi pekerjaan yang tuntas."

"Tim kami memiliki informasi yang mereka butuhkan, tetapi informasi tersebut sering kali tersebar di berbagai rapat, catatan, dan sistem yang berbeda," ujar Christine Sarros, senior vice president of Enterprise Engineering, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "Solusi baru Zoom dapat membantu menyatukan konteks tersebut. Dengan demikian, tim dapat memulai percakapan dengan pelanggan berdasarkan pemahaman yang lebih jelas mengenai hal-hal yang telah dibahas, keputusan yang telah diambil, dan langkah selanjutnya yang perlu dilakukan. Kami melihat peluang untuk mengurangi waktu yang dihabiskan dalam menyusun kembali riwayat percakapan, sehingga lebih banyak waktu dapat digunakan untuk membantu pelanggan kami melangkah maju."

Dalam acara Zoomtopia, Zoom mewujudkan visi tersebut melalui berbagai inovasi di bidang kolaborasi, AI, pengalaman pelanggan, dan acara. Berbagai pengumuman berikut menunjukkan bagaimana seluruh inovasi tersebut menghubungkan konteks bisnis dengan perangkat dan alur kerja yang benar-benar digunakan pengguna untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan.

Memberikan konteks kepada pengguna dan agen AI untuk mengubah percakapan menjadi tindakan

Setiap rapat, obrolan, dan dokumen meninggalkan jejak pembahasan, keputusan, serta item tindakan. Unified Context Layer dari Zoom mengakses informasi tersebut untuk membantu pengguna dan agen AI beralih dengan cepat dari pemahaman konteks menuju kejelasan hingga pengambilan tindakan.

Unified Context Layer semakin meningkatkan efisiensi kerja ketika digunakan bersama berbagai kemampuan baru yang diperkenalkan, antara lain:

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YYFORCE Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) ("YYForce" or the "Company"), a technology-enabled provider of workforce solutions and integrated facility management services, today announced its strategic plans to develop and scale its modular robotics operating architecture, Workforce OS.

Designed to integrate human workforces with embodied artificial intelligence, the software stack leverages NVIDIA compute and robotics technologies to power commercial autonomous deployments, including integrations with Unitree humanoid robots and specialized service automation platforms.

Rather than building isolated software for single-purpose hardware, YYForce is architecting Workforce OS as a standardized, hardware-agnostic platform spanning computer vision, high-precision SLAM navigation, multi-axis manipulation, natural language interaction, and multi-agent fleet orchestration.

High-Performance Physical AI Architecture Powered by NVIDIA

To establish a resilient foundation for real-time edge autonomy and scalable model training, Workforce OS integrates full-stack NVIDIA robotics and AI platforms:

Edge and Acceleration Hardware: Real-time onboard perception, sensor fusion, and low-latency motor control will be driven by NVIDIA Jetson edge AI modules deployed on robotic bodies, backed by high-performance NVIDIA RTX GPUs for accelerated inference and local edge processing.

Embodied AI & Humanoid Foundations: YYForce is adopting the NVIDIA Project GR00T foundation model framework alongside NVIDIA Isaac Sim-powered by Omniverse-to execute rapid simulation-to-real (Sim-to-Real) training, synthetic data generation, and digital-twin task validation before physical rollout.

Operational Acceleration: By utilizing NVIDIA Isaac ROS for hardware-accelerated VSLAM and navigation, as well as NVIDIA TensorRT for deep learning inference optimization, the platform is designed to maximizes computational efficiency across both stationary manipulators and Unitree bipedal humanoid platforms.

Pragmatic Execution: Phased Roadmaps from Structured Operations to Full Humanoid Integration

To minimize the prolonged research cycles typical of unstructured automation tasks (such as autonomous wet-facility cleaning), YYForce is executing a phased commercialization roadmap that is designed to validate real-world stability across controlled enterprise hospitality environments:

Phase 1 (Months 0-2): Foundation & Intelligent Concierge - Establishing real-time navigation, guest-facing conversational workflows, and front-desk integration using Jetson edge modules and Isaac ROS.

Phase 2 (Months 2-4): Mobile Manipulation & Beverage Service - Deploying stationary and wheeled robotic arms equipped with fine-motor grasping, dynamic load balancing, and handover mechanics for banquet and food & beverage environments.

Phase 3 (Months 4-6): Banquet & Hospitality Event MVP - Orchestrating multi-robot collaborative operations-combining mobile bases, arm manipulation, and pilot-stage Unitree humanoid robots for live hotel banquet and event operations.

Long-Term Target: Autonomous IFM & Humanoid Field Operations - Transitioning mature Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, learned humanoid locomotion, and system orchestration layers into complex, unstructured physical tasks, including automated facility maintenance and industrial cleaning.

Expanding Core Engineering Strength

"Our strategic objective is to own the software intelligence layer that makes diverse commercial robots truly useful in live business environments," said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YYForce. "By combining NVIDIA's industry-defining physical AI computing stack with versatile hardware like Unitree humanoid platforms, we aim to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world execution. Our existing footprint across hotels and enterprise facilities can provide a valuable real-world testbed and data-flywheel engine, turning bleeding-edge robotics into practical human workforce augmentation."

To spearhead this technical roadmap, the Company is deploying a specialized core engineering task force comprising domain leads across Autonomous Navigation, Perception & Multimodal Interaction, Motion & Manipulation Control, Embodied VLA Models, and Distributed Systems Architecture. We expect that this focused engineering structure will prioritize continuous fleet orchestration, dynamic labor allocation, and deep interoperability with YYForce's operational network.

STORMAX, meanwhile, combines a wide, low-slung stance with a 1.26 sports-car proportion and L-shaped headlights, conveying a dynamic character through the interplay of athletic styling and advanced technology.

Inside both models, full-grain perforated Nappa leather seats bring a refined tactile quality to the cabin. An in-vehicle fragrance system adds a subtle sensory touch, while three-zone automatic climate control helps maintain a comfortable environment. Together, these features create a welcoming cabin defined by considered materials, lighting, fragrance and temperature.

A Place to Recharge: Zero-Gravity Seating and Massage Comfort

During the lakeside stop, the LUXEED cabins offered media guests a comfortable place to unwind between driving sessions. LLOUNGE features two second-row zero-gravity seats with a 123? recline angle. Combined with four-way power leg rests and independent electric footrests, the seats can be adjusted at the touch of a button to create a deeply reclined position designed for relaxation.

An integrated mechanical massage system offers four massage techniques, applying targeted pressure to the back and waist to help relieve muscle tension after extended periods on the road.

STORMAX is also equipped with dual front zero-gravity seats and intelligent dynamic seat bolstering. Its 16-point seat massage system and adaptive contouring adjust lateral support to the occupant's body, helping both the driver and front passenger enjoy a more supportive and comfortable ride.

A Quieter Retreat: Acoustic Comfort and Immersive Sound

Closing the doors helps create a more tranquil cabin, separating occupants from the breeze and ambient sounds outside. LLOUNGE features Privacy Acoustic Shield mode, supported by 12 dual-layer acoustic laminated glass panes, alongside smart privacy glass and sunshades. STORMAX features eight dual-layer acoustic laminated glass panes and concealed double-layer sunshades, helping reduce external noise and manage incoming light. The audio systems build on this sense of retreat. LLOUNGE features a 33-speaker sound system designed to evoke the atmosphere of a concert hall, while STORMAX's 7.1.4 panoramic spatial audio system delivers an immersive listening experience.

For LUXEED, luxury extends beyond visual appeal. It is expressed through technology designed around people, carefully considered details and comfort throughout the journey. The lakeside stop gave global media representatives an opportunity to experience this philosophy beyond driving performance, demonstrating how intelligent technology, refined design and a thoughtfully crafted cabin can make time on the road more enjoyable. For LUXEED, this is the essence of "Mobility as Enjoyment."

Kevel Secures $52 Million to Scale AI-Driven Infrastructure for the Future of Commerce Media

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 06:54:00 +0700

Largest funding round to date accelerates product innovation, transparent AI decisioning, and global expansion for commerce networks

DURHAM, North Carolina, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kevel, the ad tech infrastructure empowering commerce businesses to build media networks they own and grow, today announced $52 million in new capital, marking the largest capital raise in the company's history.

The financing includes expanded strategic investments from Fulcrum Equity Partners, dunnhumby Ventures LLC, Iberis Capital and additional growth capital from ORIX Corporation USA's ("ORIX USA") Growth Capital business.

Kevel's total capital raised now exceeds $100 million, reflecting strong demand for its technology across the retail and commerce media industry. The continued support of investors like dunnhumby, the retail media arm of Tesco, reflects growing momentum behind retailer-owned media ecosystems. Dunnhumby's recent launch of the Dunnhumby Network Alliance (DNA), built in partnership with Kevel, also demonstrates an increase in industry-wide initiatives like this to drive greater scale and connectivity across retail media networks.

Kevel's API-first architecture gives retailers, marketplaces and commerce platforms the flexibility to build media businesses around their own customers, data and growth strategies. As commerce media enters its next stage of maturity, businesses are shifting focus from launching to scaling media networks, requiring infrastructure capable of supporting omnichannel activation and AI-powered decisioning.

"Commerce media is entering a new era, one defined by ownership, transparency, and AI-driven infrastructure built around the business rather than intermediaries," said James Avery, Founder & CEO, Kevel. "To keep commerce media open and competitive, businesses must own their monetization and data. This raise enables us to scale the technology retailers and marketplaces need to build differentiated media networks, drive sustainable growth, and compete head-to-head with the largest platforms."

Kevel is the leading commerce media platform, trusted by over 100+ commerce media networks, including Tesco, Dollar General Media Networks, John Lewis Partnership, Paypal, Scandinavian Airlines, Home Depot's Orange Apron Media, Nubank, and more, across North America, Europe, LATAM, and APAC. Kevel has a commitment to powering independent, privacy-first media networks for retailers, marketplaces and commerce platforms so they can compete with the walled gardens on their own terms.

"Kevel has built an impressive, highly differentiated platform that enables customers to rapidly launch and scale retail media businesses tailored to their unique brands and audiences," said Blake Zhang, Managing Director in ORIX USA's Growth Capital business. "As the market continues to expand across on-site, off-site, in-store and other emerging channels, we believe Kevel is well positioned to help customers navigate that growing complexity and scale across an increasingly broad ecosystem. We are excited to partner with James and the Kevel team as they continue to innovate and help shape the next generation of retail media."

The investment reinforces Kevel's position as the API-first infrastructure layer for AI-enabled commerce media, built on a simple principle: AI that retailers can see into, control, and trust. As AI becomes increasingly central to media monetization, retailers need real visibility into how decisions are made and confidence that those decisions align with their business goals. Kevel's transparent AI shows exactly how and why every ad decision is made, so retailers can prove performance to advertisers, protect the shopper experience, and keep full ownership of their data and models.

"Kevel's continued investment in building cutting-edge infrastructure and AI to power commerce media networks is truly incredible," commented Philip Lewis, Partner, Fulcrum Equity Partners. "We are thrilled to continue investing to ensure that Kevel has the resources to support the complex needs of our partners."

The funding will accelerate Kevel's next stage of growth, with transparent AI at the center of its product roadmap. The company will continue developing its AI decisioning and optimization capabilities so that every ranking, bid and placement decision is explainable, auditable and configurable by retailers. The company will also expand globally into new retail and commerce media categories and deepen its strategic advisory services, helping retailers at every stage of maturity put AI to work without giving up visibility or control.

Cafferty & Company, an independent debt advisory firm, served as the sole advisor to Kevel on the transaction.

CEO Enwave, Carlyle Coutinho, Dinobatkan sebagai Pemimpin Terbaik Tahun 2026 dari Ontario Energy Association, Penerima Pertama dari Sektor Energi Distrik

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 06:44:00 +0700

TORONTO, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carlyle Coutinho, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) sekaligus anggota Dewan Direksi Enwave Energy Corporation (Enwave), dinobatkan sebagai Pemimpin Terbaik Tahun 2026 oleh Ontario Energy Association (OEA).

Pencapaian ini menjadikan Coutinho sebagai CEO pertama dari perusahaan yang bergerak di sektor energi distrik yang berhasil meraih penghargaan tersebut. Penghargaan ini mencerminkan kepemimpinan Coutinho dalam mendorong pengembangan solusi energi inovatif berskala besar, sekaligus memperkuat peran energi distrik dalam memenuhi kebutuhan energi di Ontario dan Kanada.

Penghargaan Pemimpin Terbaik Tahun Ini dari Ontario Energy Association (OEA) merupakan salah satu penghargaan tertinggi di sektor energi Kanada. Penghargaan ini diberikan kepada individu yang menunjukkan visi, inovasi, kemampuan berkolaborasi, serta komitmen yang kuat terhadap pelanggan.

Di bawah kepemimpinan Coutinho, Enwave baru-baru ini telah menyelesaikan sejumlah proyek besar yang menunjukkan nilai energi distrik dalam sistem energi Ontario:

*Memperluas sistem Deep Lake Water Cooling (DLWC) milik Enwave melalui pembangunan pipa pengambilan air keempat sehingga meningkatkan kapasitas pendinginan sistem tersebut sekitar 60%. Sistem DLWC meniadakan kebutuhan daya listrik sekitar 50 MW dibandingkan dengan instalasi pendingin konvensional pada gedung perkantoran komersial.

*Memulai pengoperasian Enwave Green Heat Plant di Pearl Street Energy Centre. Fasilitas ini menggunakan pompa kalor berskala besar untuk memulihkan panas buangan dari pelanggan sistem pendinginan distrik. Panas tersebut kemudian dimanfaatkan kembali guna menyediakan energi panas rendah karbon bagi bangunan lain yang terhubung dengan jaringan energi distrik. Fasilitas ini juga dapat mengurangi penggunaan daya listrik dari jaringan hingga sekitar 6 MW selama periode permintaan puncak. Hal ini dilakukan dengan mengatur pengoperasian sumber energi nonlistrik yang tersedia di lokasi, tanpa mengganggu pasokan air panas.

*Mengembangkan sistem penyimpanan energi termal berskala besar di The Well, sebuah kawasan pengembangan multifungsi di pusat kota Toronto. Sistem ini menyimpan energi untuk pemanasan dan pendinginan untuk digunakan ketika manfaatnya paling besar bagi pelanggan dan sistem kelistrikan.

"Saya merasa terhormat menerima penghargaan dari OEA ini dan bangga dapat berbagi penghargaan tersebut dengan tim Enwave. Keahlian dan komitmen mereka, bersama dengan kolaborasi dari pelanggan dan mitra kami, memungkinkan tercapainya berbagai pencapaian ini," ujar Carlyle Coutinho, CEO Enwave sekaligus mantan Ketua International District Energy Association. "Energi distrik memiliki peran penting di tengah meningkatnya kebutuhan akan energi bersih yang andal, terjangkau, dan terjamin pasokannya di Ontario serta di seluruh dunia. Dengan memulihkan panas, menyimpan energi, dan menyalurkannya ke berbagai bangunan, kami dapat menyediakan layanan pemanasan dan pendinginan yang hemat biaya sekaligus membantu mengurangi beban permintaan pada jaringan listrik."

Di tengah meningkatnya permintaan listrik dan elektrifikasi bangunan, Ontario akan membutuhkan solusi yang dapat memanfaatkan infrastruktur energi yang sudah ada maupun yang baru secara lebih efisien. Energi distrik memenuhi kebutuhan berbagai bangunan melalui penggunaan peralatan bersama. Sistem ini juga memulihkan panas yang seharusnya terbuang dari rumah sakit, pusat data, dan pelanggan sistem pendinginan distrik lainnya, serta mengalihkan penggunaan listrik ke luar periode permintaan puncak. Melalui pendekatan ini, energi distrik menawarkan solusi praktis untuk elektrifikasi sistem pemanasan dan pendinginan.

Ke depannya, Enwave akan memperluas penerapan model energi distrik miliknya ke lebih banyak komunitas. Pada tahun 2027, perusahaan berencana memulai pengoperasian dua sistem baru di Ontario, yaitu di Lakeview Village, Mississauga, dan Etobicoke Civic Centre, Toronto. Kedua sistem ini akan memperluas layanan pemanasan dan pendinginan distrik kepada pelanggan baru sekaligus mendukung keandalan jaringan listrik. Enwave juga tengah membangun fasilitas pengolahan sampah menjadi energi yang telah ditingkatkan di Pulau Prince Edward. Fasilitas ini bertujuan menggandakan kapasitas pengolahan sampah dari sistem energi distrik yang sudah ada di wilayah tersebut.

Tentang Enwave

Enwave merupakan salah satu pemilik dan operator komersial terbesar untuk sistem energi distrik berbasis komunitas di Amerika Utara. Perusahaan ini mengembangkan solusi energi berskala besar yang andal dan disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan khusus pemerintah daerah, proyek pengembangan komersial, universitas, rumah sakit, pusat data, serta kawasan permukiman.

Enwave menyediakan layanan energi termal untuk bangunan multifungsi dengan luas total lebih dari 100 juta kaki persegi di seluruh Kanada. Layanan ini menggunakan berbagai teknologi, termasuk Deep Lake Water Cooling, pemulihan panas buangan, penyimpanan energi termal, sistem pertukaran panas bumi, biomassa, dan pengolahan sampah menjadi energi. Enwave dimiliki oleh Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan dan IFM Investors, yang mengakuisisi perusahaan tersebut pada tahun 2021.
