QINGDAO, China, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hisense, a leading brand in TV displays, redefines the intersection of innovation and aesthetics through a landmark collaboration with 20th Century Studios’ The Devil Wears Prada 2, in theaters May 1st. This campaign brings Hisense’s pioneering RGB MiniLED display technology into the heart of the fashion and cultural world, marking a new step in expanding the role of advanced displays.

Un chilo di droga nascosto in casa: arresto in Garfagnana

REDAZIONE — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 10:42:29 +0200

MINUCCIANO – Un uomo di 50 anni è stato arrestato con oltre un chilo di marijuana in Garfagnana al termine di un’operazione condotta dai carabinieri della compagnia di Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. Il provvedimento riguarda un residente nell’Alta Garfagnana, finito al centro di un’attività investigativa avviata da tempo dai militari della Stazione di Gramolazzo.

Le indagini hanno portato alla raccolta di elementi ritenuti significativi, che hanno consentito agli investigatori di ottenere un decreto di perquisizione da parte dell’Autorità giudiziaria. L’operazione si è svolta con il supporto dei carabinieri delle Stazioni di Gramolazzo e Piazza al Serchio.

Durante la perquisizione domiciliare, i militari hanno rinvenuto e sequestrato oltre un chilo di marijuana, insieme a un bilancino di precisione e al materiale necessario per il confezionamento delle dosi. Gli inquirenti ritengono che la sostanza fosse destinata al mercato locale dell’Alta Garfagnana, ipotizzando quindi un’attività di spaccio sul territorio.

Determinante per il ritrovamento è stato il contributo di un’unità cinofila proveniente dal nucleo dei carabinieri di San Rossore, intervenuta per supportare le operazioni. Il fiuto del cane antidroga ha consentito di individuare con precisione la sostanza stupefacente all’interno dell’abitazione.

Al termine delle attività, l’uomo è stato accompagnato in caserma e dichiarato in stato di arresto. Dopo le formalità di rito, è stato messo a disposizione dell’Autorità giudiziaria. In sede processuale, il 52enne ha patteggiato una pena di un anno e quattro mesi di reclusione e una multa di 4mila euro, ottenendo la sospensione condizionale della pena.

AESC Earns CDP Climate Change A- Rating, Highest Among Global Battery Manufacturers in 2025

Immediapress — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 10:24:10 +0200

COMUNICATO STAMPA – CONTENUTO PROMOZIONALE

Recognition Highlights AESC’s Leadership in Sustainable Battery Manufacturing

TOKYO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AESC, a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage battery technology, announced that it had received an A- rating for climate change from CDP, the highest score achieved by any global lithium battery manufacturer in the 2025 reporting cycle.

CDP runs one of the world’s leading environmental disclosure systems for companies. Its assessments are widely referenced by investors, regulators, and customers in evaluating ESG performance and supply chain standards. Of the more than 22,100 companies assessed in CDP’s 2025 Climate Change reporting cycle, just 10% achieved an A- rating or higher. AESC’s A- rating reflects the company’s robust and transparent carbon management framework, as well as its continued progress in battery decarbonization.

AESC embeds emissions reduction targets into business decision-making and day-to-day global operations. The company has built strong capabilities in carbon footprint management, renewable energy adoption, and industrial decarbonization.

For carbon footprint management, AESC aligns its global operations with the EU Battery Regulation and other international compliance requirements. The company has established a systematic carbon footprint management framework, developed an enterprise-wide emissions factor database based on internationally recognized methodologies, and worked with upstream suppliers to strengthen carbon data modeling and management.

In renewable energy and decarbonization, AESC has achieved several industry milestones. In 2022, it became the world’s first battery manufacturer to achieve carbon neutrality across its global operations (Scope 1 and 2), verified by the Carbon Trust, and launched the industry’s first carbon-neutral EV battery in 2022 and carbon-neutral energy storage battery in 2023. Across its global manufacturing network, AESC continues to optimize operations to reduce energy use and lower carbon emissions through a wide range of on-site energy-saving upgrades, including temperature and humidity control upgrades, smart sensor installations on production lines, and leftover heat and water reuse to cut energy waste. At the same time, the company works closely with key suppliers to advance emissions reduction across the value chain.

Through these efforts, AESC has developed a practical and scalable decarbonization pathway for the global lithium battery industry. The CDP A- rating further strengthens AESC’s position as a sustainability leader as it works with customers and partners worldwide to support a more sustainable battery ecosystem.

About AESC

AESC is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of high-performance batteries for electric vehicles (EV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Founded in Japan in 2007 and headquartered in Yokohama, AESC has built a global manufacturing footprint over nearly two decades to serve major markets worldwide.

Inprimepay accelera in Europa: zero fee di ingresso e app multilingua per conquistare Svizzera, Austria e Germania

Immediapress — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 10:16:21 +0200

COMUNICATO STAMPA – CONTENUTO PROMOZIONALE

Milano, 30 aprile 2026 – Inprimepay accelera la propria espansione europea e annuncia l’ingresso operativo nei mercati di Svizzera, Austria e Germania, dopo aver superato la soglia dei 6.000 merchant attivi in Italia. Una crescita che consolida la posizione dell’azienda nel comparto della payment orchestration e che ora si traduce in una strategia di internazionalizzazione mirata su tre delle economie più solide e digitalmente mature dell’Europa continentale.

L’azienda, specializzata nell’orchestrazione dei pagamenti per il retail fisico e omnicanale, punta a replicare oltreconfine il modello già consolidato sul mercato domestico: un’infrastruttura unica che integra pagamenti digitali, soluzioni rateali (BNPL) e incasso immediato per gli esercenti, in una logica di piena interoperabilità tra canali fisici e digitali. Un approccio che risponde a una delle esigenze più sentite dai retailer europei, ovvero la possibilità di governare in modo centralizzato flussi di incasso sempre più frammentati tra POS, e-commerce, link di pagamento e wallet digitali.

Per sostenere la penetrazione nei nuovi mercati, Inprimepay introduce una leva commerciale particolarmente aggressiva: nessuna fee di ingresso per i merchant, con l’obiettivo di abbattere le barriere all’adozione e accelerare la diffusione della piattaforma. Una scelta che si inserisce nella filosofia di trasparenza dei costi che ha caratterizzato il brand fin dal lancio sul mercato italiano, dove l’assenza di canoni fissi nascosti ha rappresentato uno dei principali driver di acquisizione nel segmento delle piccole e medie imprese.

A supporto dell’espansione, è già disponibile sul Google Play Store e sull’Apple App Store l’app gestionale ufficiale di Inprimepay, progettata per operare in modalità multilingua e multi-valuta. Lo strumento consente agli esercenti di gestire incassi, transazioni e riconciliazioni da un’unica interfaccia, con un’esperienza utente pensata per ridurre al minimo la curva di apprendimento e per integrarsi con i principali software gestionali già in uso negli esercizi commerciali.

«Stiamo entrando in mercati maturi con un approccio molto chiaro: semplificazione, velocità di attivazione e zero costi iniziali per il merchant», ha dichiarato Gennaro Scotto di Carlo, CEO e fondatore di Inprimepay. «I retailer di Germania, Austria e Svizzera operano in contesti tecnologicamente avanzati, ma chiedono strumenti che riducano la complessità operativa, non che la aumentino. Il nostro obiettivo è diventare lo standard europeo per l’orchestrazione dei pagamenti in negozio e omnicanale, offrendo un’unica piattaforma capace di unire incassi fisici, e-commerce, soluzioni rateali e riconciliazione automatica nel pieno rispetto degli standard PSD2 e PCI-DSS».

Il modello Inprimepay consente ai retailer di offrire ai propri clienti pagamenti tramite QR code e Pay by Link, con accesso integrato a carte, bonifici e soluzioni rateali, mantenendo un’esperienza fluida lato utente e l’incasso immediato lato merchant. Una combinazione che, secondo i dati raccolti sui clienti italiani, ha contribuito ad aumentare in modo misurabile sia il tasso di conversione al checkout sia lo scontrino medio, due indicatori centrali per la marginalità del retail moderno.

L’espansione nei Paesi DACH e in Svizzera rappresenta un passaggio strategico in un contesto europeo sempre più orientato a soluzioni flessibili, integrate e conformi ai più stringenti standard normativi. La domanda di piattaforme in grado di unire performance commerciale e robustezza infrastrutturale è in costante crescita, e Inprimepay si propone come interlocutore unico per quei retailer che intendono governare la complessità dei pagamenti senza rinunciare alla velocità di esecuzione.

New Survey from Harvard Business Review Analytic Services Finds AI Adoption Remains High, Yet Value May Lag Without Modernization and Workflow Integration

Immediapress — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 09:00:49 +0200

COMUNICATO STAMPA – CONTENUTO PROMOZIONALE

A critical AI success gap is emerging for organizations, with 30% surveyed seeing an impact on new revenue streams.

ORLANDO, Fla., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Most organizations have moved beyond experimenting with artificial intelligence, but few are realizing its full value. New research from Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, sponsored by Appian, finds that while 59% of organizations (who are moving forward with AI to some extent) have AI in production, the majority are currently focused on incremental gains that prioritize efficiency and productivity over top-line growth.

Notably, AI has the strongest impact in bolstering productivity, not enabling growth. Respondents indicated that of the AI performance measures their organization tracks, most see impact in productivity improvements (64%) and operational efficiency (58%), while metrics like new revenue streams (30%) and ROI (35%) are among the least likely to have improved. This points to a significant opportunity for organizations to use AI to deliver broader business outcomes and growth.

“Enterprises are at an inflection point. Instead of using AI to drive productivity, organizations must evolve to focus on business growth. That’s where Appian comes in,” said Matt Calkins, CEO of Appian. “The true potential of AI can only be realized when it moves from a standalone tool to an embedded worker that drives revenue. To get there, leaders must prioritize the foundational orchestration and rules-based guardrails required to safely apply AI to high-impact work.”

AI still sits outside the flow of work

In most organizations, AI is being used alongside work, not built into how work gets done, limiting its ability to drive higher-level business outcomes. Only 18% of respondents report that AI is primarily integrated within workflows, while a larger share (34%) continue to use AI as standalone tools alongside processes/workflows, with another 34% reporting a mix of both approaches and 12% not yet using AI in processes/workflows at all.

Most see some returns on AI, but not yet at scale

Most respondents are seeing some returns from AI investments, but only 16% report realizing a high degree of measurable value. The majority describe the impact as moderate (33%), slight (36%), or have no measurable value (8%). Still, expectations remain high, as 86% agree that their organization is looking to realize more business value from its use of AI. It’s clear that AI is delivering some results, but translating those results into meaningful, scalable business impact is proving difficult.

AI delivers value when embedded in workflows

As organizations advance their AI strategies, value is closely tied to how effectively AI is integrated into workflows and applied to operational work. Seventy-one percent of organizations embedding AI into processes realized substantial or moderate value from those efforts, according to respondents. In parallel, approximately three-quarters report strong returns from modernizing legacy infrastructure/systems (76%), integrating data sources (75%), and orchestrating processes/workflows across systems/applications (73%).

Legacy systems continue to limit AI’s impact

Nearly seven in ten respondents, 69%, agree that legacy systems are limiting their ability to scale AI across the enterprise. This reinforces the need for modernization and better integration across systems and data. Siloed or low-quality data (34%), a lack of integration across systems (31%), and a lack of AI talent/skills (30%) are also among the most commonly cited barriers to embedding AI into workflows.

AI agent adoption lags in core operations

The research also highlights differences in how AI agents are being applied across the enterprise. Organizations are more actively deploying AI agents in areas such as software development (35%), IT operations (31%), marketing and sales (26%), and customer service (25%). In contrast, agent adoption is more limited in core operational areas such as procurement (9%), manufacturing (10%), and supply chain (11%), where processes tend to be more complex and require greater control and consistency. As organizations look to expand AI into these environments, governance becomes critical.

Most organizations lack the guardrails needed to scale AI agents safely

Ninety-two percent of respondents agree that AI agents need rules-based guardrails to operate safely and effectively, yet fewer than half (48%) agree that their organization has defined such rules (among those at organizations using, considering or exploring agentic AI). As organizations explore agentic AI systems (currently used by 25% of organizations and under consideration by 62%), the need for clearly defined processes and guardrails will become even more critical. Without clear guardrails, agents can act unpredictably across systems, increasing the risk of unintended outcomes.

Process design is emerging as the key to unlocking AI value

Realizing the full value of AI and achieving sustainable ROI requires rethinking how work is structured and governed. According to respondents, organizations are increasingly focused on better defining rules/guardrails that AI must follow (50%), standardizing processes/workflows across functions (49%), and increasing cross-functional coordination (47%) to improve the success of AI implementations.

“Organizations are adopting AI, but many haven’t integrated it into the core processes that drive business outcomes,” said Alex Clemente, managing director of Harvard Business Review Analytic Services. “Those that successfully embed AI into workflows will be better positioned to realize meaningful value.”

DJI Agriculture rivela che l’adozione globale dei droni agricoli riduce le emissioni di carbonio di 51 Mt e fa risparmiare 410 Mt di acqua agli agricoltori di tutto il mondo

Immediapress — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 08:15:31 +0200

COMUNICATO STAMPA – CONTENUTO PROMOZIONALE

Presentato all’AgriShow in Brasile, il nuovo rapporto evidenzia la maturità del settore, con oltre 600.000 droni agricoli DJI ora operativi in più di 100 paesi e regioni.

SHENZHEN, China, 30 aprile 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DJI Agriculture, leader globale nella tecnologia innovativa dei droni agricoli, ha presentato oggi il suo quinto rapporto annuale “Agricultural Drone Industry Insight Report” (2025/2026) ad Agrishow 2026 a Ribeirão Preto, Brasile. Il report evidenzia come le politiche globali si stiano orientando verso liberalizzazione, standardizzazione e integrazione strategica. Nel frattempo, DJI Agriculture ha rafforzato la sua rete di 3.500 centri di assistenza e riparazione in tutto il mondo, promuovendo al contempo operazioni standardizzate dei droni. Entro la fine del 2025, oltre 600.000 droni agricoli DJI erano già in uso a livello globale da più di 600.000 operatori formati. L’adozione di questa tecnologia ha consentito di risparmiare circa 410 milioni di tonnellate d’acqua, equivalenti al consumo annuale di acqua potabile di 740 milioni di persone, e di ridurre le emissioni di carbonio di 51 milioni di tonnellate, pari alla capacità annuale di assorbimento del carbonio di 240 milioni di alberi.

I droni agricoli non sono più una novità: sono diventati attrezzature agricole essenziali in tutto il mondo. In Brasile, i droni DJI sono ormai ampiamente utilizzati sulle principali colture del paese, tra cui caffè, soia, mais, canna da zucchero ed erba da foraggio», ha dichiarato Yuan Zhang, Head of Global Sales di DJI Agriculture. «Con il continuo aumento dell’adozione a livello globale, DJI Agriculture continuerà a rafforzare la propria rete di supporto per gli operatori, offrendo al contempo formazione attraverso la nostra rete globale di oltre 7.000 istruttori certificati». Questi investimenti sottolineano l’impegno dell’azienda ad aiutare gli agricoltori a migliorare l’efficienza e ad aumentare in modo sostenibile le loro rese grazie a innovative tecnologie con droni.

La semina e l’irrorazione con droni aumentano la produttività e la sostenibilità dei pascoli in Brasile

Il rapporto presenta diversi casi di studio sui casi d’uso dei droni agricoli per diverse colture in vari Paesi. In Brasile, gli agricoltori hanno impiegato i droni agricoli DJI Agras T25P, T70P e T100 per coprire operazioni di precisione a ciclo completo nella gestione dei foraggi, aumentando l’efficienza del rinnovo dei foraggi e la produttività dei pascoli. Ad esempio, l’uso dei droni per effettuare irrorazioni mirate con maggiore precisione sulle aree infestate dalle erbacce può ridurre l’impiego di erbicidi fino al 35%. Allo stesso tempo, l’irrorazione e la semina con droni lungo l’intero processo offrono anche vantaggi in termini di tutela ambientale, eliminando il compattamento del suolo, riducendo la deriva di prodotti chimici vicino agli ecosistemi sensibili e abbassando l’impronta di carbonio dell’allevamento del bestiame.

Migliori prove in campo e studi accademici favoriscono operazioni sul campo più conformi

Il rapporto documenta anche numerosi nuovi test in campo e studi accademici che offrono una credibile convalida basata su prove dei vantaggi dei droni agricoli per l’irrorazione in termini di applicazione di precisione, efficienza operativa, benefici economici e sostenibilità. Allo stesso tempo, organizzazioni come UAPASTF hanno sviluppato linee guida per l’applicazione sicura ed efficace dei pesticidi, basate su aggiornati studi sullo spostamento in campo dei droni. Test di deriva più avanzati consentono operazioni in campo più precise, più sicure e maggiormente conformi alle normative, rendendoli un fattore chiave per l’agricoltura di precisione e per una protezione delle colture responsabile dal punto di vista ambientale.

Questi studi hanno contribuito a promuovere politiche basate su dati concreti e sviluppi di mercato in tutto il mondo, alimentando ulteriormente la rapida espansione globale dell’industria dei droni agricoli. Ad esempio, l’ANAC (Agenzia Nazionale per l’Aviazione Civile del Brasile) ha aggiornato la propria normativa sui droni per introdurre “scenari standard” per le operazioni agricole ricorrenti. In Canada, le modifiche normative di Transport Canada al regolamento sull’aviazione civile canadese hanno semplificato le regole operative per i droni agricoli, supportando direttamente l’irrorazione, la mappatura, il monitoraggio e l’agricoltura di precisione.

Man mano che il settore continua a maturare a livello globale, DJI Agriculture mira a offrire ad agricoltori e decisori politici una visione più chiara di come i droni agricoli apportino un valore ambientale misurabile e aprano nuovi percorsi per la modernizzazione dell’agricoltura nel mondo.

Leggi qui il rapporto completo 2025/2026 sulle prospettive del settore dei droni agricoli.

Informazioni su DJI Agriculture

DJI Agriculture è stata fondata da DJI nel 2015 con la missione di portare tecnologie innovative dei droni nell’agricoltura, rendendola più sostenibile, efficiente e sicura. DJI ha iniziato a investire in ricerca e sviluppo per il progresso dei droni irroratori nel 2012, prima di creare un’unità commerciale dedicata ai droni agricoli. In qualità di leader globale nel settore dei droni, DJI sta costruendo un mondo migliore promuovendo costantemente il progresso umano attraverso prodotti che apportano valore alla vita delle persone in tutto il mondo in modi più profondi che mai. Oggi si stima che 600.000 droni agricoli siano in uso in tutto il mondo per trattare oltre 300 tipi di colture in più di 100 paesi e regioni.

Equipped with the “D2D Stem”, riders can easily adjust handlepost height and angle for a more personalised fit. The system also features dual-locking grips and a streamlined Internal V-Quick Lock, ensuring a secure and rigid riding position.

For smooth and reliable shifting, the LUNDEN GR uses a Shimano 8-speed internal hub, offering low-maintenance performance. The bike is fitted with 20″ × 2.0″ tyres that absorb road vibration, improve traction, and combine comfort with capable all-round handling.

Adaptable Dynamic Suspension SystemThe LUNDEN GR features an innovative Dynamic Suspension System for quick on-the-go damping adjustments, balancing pedalling efficiency with shock absorption across changing road conditions. Its multi-segment adjustable seatpost allows saddle height and angle tuning, improving ergonomic fit and comfort for a wide range of riders.
