AMSTERDAM, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During IBC 2026 at RAI Amsterdam, XGRIDS, the spatial intelligence company, is showing how production teams put photoreal locations into virtual production and live broadcast. Media and media-technology professionals from Europe and North America are walking a site scan into Unreal Engine using 3D Gaussian Splatting. 

From Captured Reality to Live Production 

In media and virtual production, turning physical locations into digital environments has traditionally required time-consuming reconstruction. XGRIDS makes the process more direct with spatial scanners such as Lixel K2 and spatial cameras such as PortalCam, which capture spatial detail and visual information for local processing in Lixel CyberColor (LCC). The resulting 3DGS environments can be brought into Unreal Engine through the XGRIDS LCC Plugin for UE, creating a streamlined path from physical locations to digital production. 

At the IBC session, CM Fey, Product Manager at XGRIDS, showed how this workflow can fit into real production pipelines, moving a captured environment beyond reconstruction and into creative use. Once brought into the production environment, a photorealistic, navigable 3DGS scene can serve as a basis for scene composition, camera blocking, XR and ICVFX. Rather than treating spatial capture as a one-off visualization step, the workflow turns a physical location into a digital production asset that can be revisited and adapted across different creative needs. 

The workflow also supports major production platforms including Pixotope, Aximmetry, Disguise and nDisplay. The following day, filmmaker and VFX supervisor Amir Ovadia Steklov presented “3DGS in Film Production,” showing how he captured a spaceship film set with PortalCam and incorporated the resulting 3DGS environment into a cinematic VFX workflow. 

A 3DGS Workflow Already on Air 

The approach is already being applied across media and entertainment. PortalCam won four categories at the 2026 NAB Show Product of the Year Awards, while South Korea’s SBS integrated 3DGS and XR into live news through the LCC Plugin for Unreal Engine and Pixotope. XGRIDS also showcased LCC Scan, bringing local, on-device 3DGS creation to iPhone for capturing people, objects and spaces as interactive 3D content. 

As spatial capture becomes more accessible, real-world environments can move more easily from physical sites into digital workflows. XGRIDS is helping bridge the physical and digital worlds, opening up new possibilities for how reality is captured, represented and used.

XIAMEN, China, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On September 16, HiTHIUM, a leading global energy storage technology company, officially unveiled its next-generation integrated sodium-ion energy storage solution at its “Powered Day in, Day out” launch event. The new offerings include the ∞Power N4.0MWh, a 4MWh sodium-ion energy storage system equipped with the high-capacity ∞Cell N785Ah sodium-ion battery. HiTHIUM also announced its plans to begin full-scale production and delivery in 2027. With a 30-year designed service life, the system provides an infrastructure-grade solution for sodium-ion deployment. 

Drawing on integrated capabilities spanning materials, cells, manufacturing, system integration, station applications and lifecycle services, HiTHIUM is moving sodium-ion technology from validation toward large-scale deployment. 

“Energy storage technologies must overcome two barriers to achieve large-scale deployment: affordability and availability,” said Dr. Nazar Yi, Chief Technology Officer of HiTHIUM. Sodium is abundant and widely distributed, supporting resource security and supply-chain stability. As sodium-ion material systems, manufacturing processes and supply chain continue to mature, sodium-ion batteries can move from an energy technology to infrastructure. 

Building on its integrated capabilities in R&D, manufacturing, quality and supply-chain development, HiTHIUM has transferred its expertise to sodium-ion development, from materials to station applications. 

“We started from the most fundamental chemistry and materials, retracing the 30-year journey of lithium-ion batteries,” said Dr. Aileen Wang, Director of Battery Research Institute. Following this mindset, HiTHIUM pursued integrated innovation in cell design and manufacturing processes, developing the ∞Cell N785Ah sodium-ion battery for energy storage. It features a 20,000-cycle service life, supports 2 to 8 hours storage durations, and is fully compatible with HiTHIUM’s 1,000 Ah lithium-ion manufacturing platform, including cell and system integration production lines, supporting rapid sodium-ion production scale-up. 

The ∞Power N4.0MWh features an original sodium-ion architecture comprising a stacked-cell design, dedicated BMS with SOC estimation accuracy of ≤2.5%, and compatibility with 800–1500V PCS. PCS rated-power utilization rises over 20% compared with HiTHIUM’s previous-generation sodium-ion system, lowering the barrier for deployment. 

System architecture optimization reduces station footprint by 30% and delivers 24-hour comprehensive efficiency of over 88%. Its hybrid air-liquid cooling mode, AI-enabled thermal management and integrated meteorological monitoring use weather data to select economical cooling, reducing operating auxiliary power consumption by 30% and standby auxiliary power consumption by 50%. HiTHIUM’s integrated engineering capabilities and pre-modularized design for simplified maintenance give the ∞Power N4.0MWh a 30-year service life. 

“30 years means 10,950 days of validation—a long-term commitment to our customers,” said Dr. Wang. “It means electrochemical energy storage can be viewed, evaluated and held to the service-life standards of infrastructure.” HiTHIUM’s sodium-ion technology will expand from utility-scale storage into commercial and industrial, residential and broader energy access applications, creating integrated solutions across scenarios. HiTHIUM also launched the ∞Edge Pioneer Program to test batteries and systems in extreme environments, disclose progress over the next three years, and progressively release ∞Power Next Technology Packages for Extreme Environments, advancing energy storage toward a LCOS of RMB 0.1 per kWh.

The category promised production-ready ads for years and kept making drafts. OpenClips crafts the ad. 

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OpenClips now converts a single product URL into a finished, production-ready video ad. We have seen so many AI video tool starts with an empty box asking you what you want. AI video tools have promised ad-ready output for years and delivered clips that still needed work. OpenClips returns a finished ad from a product link. Sign up for free and see for yourself. 

Every prompt you write is time you lose. Not anymore 

Ad targeting and delivery have been automated for years. Producing the ads themselves has not changed nearly as much: most AI video tools open with an empty prompt field, so the person using them still has to decide what the ad should say, write the script and plan the shots before anything is rendered. On a campaign that needs dozens of variants, that stage is where most of the time is spent, not in the rendering. OpenClips uses the product page as its input instead, taking the imagery, the features and the positioning from it and working out a scene-by-scene storyboard on that basis. 

“Right now there is no faster way to get a production-ready ad out of a product page,” said Dan Petkovic, CEO. “Every other tool hands you an empty prompt box and calls it creative freedom. You should be able to paste a link and get back something you can actually run.” 

The platform aggregates more than 45 video and image models into one interface. This eliminates the need for multiple subscriptions and prevents assets from being scattered across different tools. The system routes every shot to the specific model best suited for the task, whether a scene requires cinematic realism or precise motion control. Users maintain a single library and one credit balance across all integrated models. 

Every Video Comes With Its Workflow: Copy It, Swap Your Product, Run It 

The team behind the tool, Coinis, spent 13 years buying performance media before building the system. They engineered the platform to focus on assets that drive conversions rather than mere demo reels. It generates the script, the storyboard, and the final render without requiring the user to write a single prompt or shoot new footage. The output is ready for immediate viral content and marketing campaigns. OpenClips also offers their workflows for free and there is no gatekeeping with prompts, reference images, models, no strings attached! 

OpenClips.ai is a multi-model AI video and image generation platform built for elite creative players. It turns a product link into a finished, production-ready video ad, and puts more than 45 leading video and image models behind one composer, one credit wallet and one library. Every paid plan carries a commercial license covering advertising, client work and monetized channels.

First comprehensive global assessment by the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS) and L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty spans 158 countries and 97% of the world’s population. 

Summary: The Global Access to Skin Health Observatory Study, published in JAMA Dermatology, examines the distribution of dermatologists across 158 countries representing 97% of the world’s population – a mean of 2.66 per 100,000 people against a benchmark of 5.63. Density ranges from just 0.37 per 100,000 people in low-income countries to 5.05 per 100,000 in high-income countries. 79% of dermatologists are concentrated in urban areas, leading to ‘dermatological deserts’ even in higher-income countries. 

PARIS, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Only one in six countries worldwide has enough dermatologists to meet the healthcare needs of its population, with wealthier nations almost nine times more likely to have adequate dermatology workforce levels than lower-income countries. 

Published in JAMA Dermatology, the Global Access to Skin Health Observatory Study examines the distribution of dermatologists alongside barriers to accessing dermatological care, training, and specialist services. 

More than two billion people worldwide live with skin disease, one of the most common health conditions globally and among the top ten leading causes of disability. Yet 74% of countries report that skin health is not a national government priority. The Study, which supports implementation of the World Health Assembly’s 2025 Resolution on Skin Diseases as a Global Public Health Priority, establishes an evidence-based benchmark for adequate dermatology care for the first time. 

Globally, there are just 2.66 dermatologists per 100,000 people, compared with the 5.63 per 100,000 the Study estimates are needed, leaving over 80% of countries below the benchmark. The disparities are starkest between higher- and lower-income countries: density ranges from just 0.37 per 100,000 people in low-income countries to 5.05 in high-income countries. No countries in Africa or South-East Asia currently reach the benchmark. 

Access to specialised services is also limited in economically disadvantaged countries, with 90% reporting inadequate access across dermatological subspecialties, including paediatric dermatology, dermatological surgery and dermatopathology. 

Dr. Esther Freeman, the Study’s Principal Investigator, Vice Chair of the International Foundation for Dermatology (IFD), and Associate Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School said: “This is the first time we are turning anecdote into data we can act on. The Global Access to Skin Health Observatory gives us, for the first time, a truly data-driven view of what access to care looks like for the billions of people living with skin disease around the world. Where you live should not determine your access to skin health – but today, it does. Our job is to identify these gaps and work together as a global community to address them.”  

The inequalities are not only between countries, but within them. Globally, 79% of dermatologists are based in urban areas, rising to 91% in low-income countries, leaving rural populations underserved and creating “dermatological deserts” with severely limited access to care. 

Overall, 42% of countries report poor or inadequate access to dermatological care, rising to around two-thirds among the world’s lowest-income countries – and the burden of skin disease is highest precisely where access to care is lowest. 

Where dermatologists are absent, care frequently falls to primary care physicians, nurses, pharmacists and community health workers. Primary care physicians often have equal or greater responsibility for diagnosing and treating skin conditions, despite many non-specialist providers receiving little or no formal dermatology training. 

The findings identify concrete opportunities for change, including expanding regional training programmes, upskilling frontline healthcare workers and leveraging AI and telemedicine to bring diagnosis and specialist expertise for diverse skin tones closer to underserved patients. 

Myriam Cohen-Welgryn, President of L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty, said: “As the world leader in dermocosmetics, we have both the power and the responsibility to act. L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty is committed to increasing access to skin health in the world and supporting the dermatologists and healthcare workers driving change around the world – because access to skin health should be a right, not a privilege. We are proud to support the Global Access to Skin Health Observatory through our Act For Dermatology programme.” 

The Study data is housed within the Skin Observatory Data Explorer, an interactive platform for ministries of health, organisations, researchers and other stakeholders to access and analyse the data. New data will be added over time to track progress. Full results are available at skinobservatory.org

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — While most businesses across North America report little change in customer payment behaviour, underlying liquidity pressures and growing insolvency concerns point to a more complex risk environment, according to the 2026 Atradius Payment Practices Barometer for North America published today. 

The survey of over 600 businesses across the United States, Canada and Mexico shows that business-to-business (B2B) trade remains heavily reliant on supplier financing. Despite conducting 43% of sales on credit terms, North American businesses are becoming increasingly cautious about the economic outlook and its potential impact on payment risk. 

Late payment remains a widespread challenge across the region, affecting seven in ten companies. Overdue invoices account for an average 23% of B2B receivables. However, most overdue payments are settled within one month of the due date, helping to limit receivables ageing and maintain relatively stable payment performance overall. 

Beneath these stable headlines, signs of financial strain are emerging. Around one in three businesses report reduced cash availability, while customer liquidity constraints are cited as the leading cause of late payment. 

Silvia Ungaro, Senior Advisor on B2B Payment Trends at Atradius, says: 

“The striking finding is that payment performance and financial confidence are moving in different directions. Businesses are still getting paid and overdue invoices remain relatively contained, but concerns about insolvency are becoming more widespread. This suggests many companies are managing through pressure rather than emerging from it.” 

Looking ahead, businesses identify macroeconomic conditions as the greatest threat to payment performance over the coming year. Economic slowdown ranks as the primary concern, followed by inflation and cost pressures, while elevated interest rates continue to affect access to finance and working capital management. 

President and Regional Director for Atradius North America, Gordon Cessford comments: 

“While inflation has moderated after a mid-2026 spike, businesses are still operating in a higher-cost environment than many had anticipated. Combined with elevated borrowing costs and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, this is creating a more challenging backdrop for decision-making. The result is a business community that remains resilient but is becoming increasingly concerned about the wider operating environment. For businesses, this reinforces the importance of monitoring economic developments closely while maintaining a disciplined approach to customer payment risk management.”

FIRENZE – Il caldo eccezionale di un’estate che ancora non è finita ha avuto le sue ripercussioni anche sulla disponibilità di sangue e plasma, nonostante la generosità degli oltre 115mila donatori toscani. In molte regioni d’Italia si sono registrate carenze anche molto gravi, segnalate anche nei giorni scorsi dal Centro nazionale sangue. La Toscana ha retto l’urto ed ha continuato a garantire il sangue a tutti i pazienti che ne avevano bisogno.

“Un risultato che ci rende orgogliosi – commenta il presidente della Toscana, Eugenio Giani -, un risultato frutto della generosità dei toscani, dell’organizzazione del nostro sistema sanitario e della collaborazione delle associazioni di volontariato”.

Reggere l’urto è stato infatti possibile grazie a un quotidiano lavoro di squadra che ha coinvolto l’intero sistema: dalle associazioni di volontariato alla programmazione ospedaliera, dalla costruzione delle liste operatorie al buon uso del sangue, fino alla gestione delle scorte e alla compensazione tra le diverse aziende sanitarie. Un lavoro che ha visto il pieno coinvolgimento delle direzioni sanitarie e anche l’utilizzo di nuovi strumenti di comunicazione.

A fronte di una produzione programmata per il 2026 di 161.500 unità di globuli rossi, nei primi sette mesi del 2026, ovvero poco più di metà anno, ne sono state raccolte 98.571. Un risultato col segno più: +3770 unità (il 4 per cento di crescita) rispetto alla programmazione attesa, +2,8 per cento rispetto agli stessi mesi del 2025. Nello stesso periodo l’Italia registra una produzione in calo dell’1,2 per cento.

Ma il dato più significativo appare un altro: nello stesso periodo la Toscana ha registrato una diminuzione del 10 per cento dei globuli rossi trasfusi, non perché si sia ridotta l’attività ospedaliera ma per un uso più appropriato ed organizzato.

“Si tratta di una buona pratica  – commenta l’assessora alla sanità, Monia Monni – che significa migliorare la qualità delle cure, portare benefici ai pazienti e rendere il sistema più solido e resiliente. È stata anche questa attenzione a permetterci di affrontare i mesi estivi con sufficienti scorte, compensando la fisiologica riduzione delle donazioni. La Toscana è così riuscita a soddisfare le esigenze di tutti i pazienti senza dover ricorrere all’aiuto di altre regioni, che nello stesso periodo si trovavano a loro volta in difficoltà. La capacità di programmazione e collaborazione – evidenzia Monni – rappresenta sicuramente uno dei punti di forza del nostro sistema: una rete che vogliamo continuare a rafforzare”.

Naturalmente rimangono essenziali donare e la cultura del dono, continua e diffusa nel corso dei mesi dell’anno piuttosto che legata ad emergenze. L’inizio di settembre sta segnando una fase di criticità e c’è bisogno che chi dona abitualmente torni a donare, che chi ha già donato continui a farlo e che chi non ha mai donato rifletta seriamente sulla possibilità di iniziare.

“Servono nuovi donatori”, sottolineano Giani e Monni. ”Sono necessari per ragioni anagrafiche – spiega ancora l’assessora -. Il sistema funziona al meglio se non viene meno il ricambio generazionale. Educare un giovane al valore del dono significa avvicinarlo a un’idea di responsabilità verso sé stesso e verso gli altri: significa imparare che il proprio tempo, la propria energia e persino una parte di sé possono essere messi a disposizione di qualcuno che ne ha bisogno”.

Accanto al sangue, resta strategica la donazione di plasma, indispensabile per garantire la disponibilità di medicinali plasmaderivati, fondamentali per molti pazienti e, in alcuni casi come le immunoglobuline, salvavita. La raccolta ha risentito, seppur in misura lieve, della necessità di concentrare le risorse sulla donazione di sangue, a fronte di una programmazione annuale di 68.000 chilogrammi.

Ma come si fa per diventare donatori di sangue? La donazione è aperta a tutte e a tutti i cittadini, italiani e stranieri. Occorre avere almeno diciotto anni e non più di settanta, buona salute, corretti stili di vita e un peso adeguato. La presenza di alcune patologie, di terapie in corso, viaggi recenti o interventi possono comportare l’esclusione permanente o la sospensione temporanea dalla donazione. Si può donare ad intervalli di tre mesi (ma non più di due volte l’anno per le donne in età fertile). Per  donare basta presentarsi presso un Servizio trasfusionale presente in tutti gli ospedali della Toscana o rivolgersi ad una della associazioni di volontariato. Ulteriori informazioni sono disponibili sul sito della Regione all’indirizzo www.regione.toscana.it/-/centro-regionale-sangue.

Esistono quattro diversi gruppi sanguigni – il gruppo A, B, Ab e zero – che  raddoppiano a seconda della presenza o meno di uno specifico antigene, l’Rh, sulla superficie dei globuli rossi. Il gruppo 0 Rh negativo è definito universale: salvo infatti alcune eccezioni, può essere donato a qualsiasi individuo; ma chi lo possiede può ricevere sangue solo da un donatore 0 negativo. Il gruppo AB rh positivo, al contrario, può ricevere donazioni di sangue da tutti i gruppi.

PARIS, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During Paris Design Week 2026, from September 10 to 17, SHANG XIA presents two exhibitions across Paris, at the Mobilier National and the Domaine National du Palais-Royal. 

At the Mobilier National, SHANG XIA furniture enters into dialogue with historic pieces from the institution’s permanent collection. At the Palais-Royal, the brand joins designer Wu Bin to present The Pavilion of Time, a large-scale installation exploring time, movement, and space. Carbon fiber connects the two projects, moving from the scale of individual objects to an immersive architectural installation. 

Together, the two exhibitions bring SHANG XIA’s approach to craftsmanship, culture, and material innovation to Paris, reflecting the brand’s vision of CRAFTING THE MODERN EAST. 

A Dialogue Across Cultures at the Mobilier National 

As part of Paris Design Week, SHANG XIA founder Jiang Qiong Er presents a special exhibition in collaboration with the Mobilier National, the historic institution under the French Ministry of Culture. 

Within the Chapelle Saint-Louis, four chairs from SHANG XIA’s Da Tian Di Carbon Fiber Collection are presented alongside two lacquer pieces from the Mobilier National’s permanent collection. SHANG XIA’s contemporary reinterpretations of the traditional Official’s Hat Chair and Horseshoe-Back Armchair meet historic works by masters of French Art Deco, including Jean Dunand. 

Bringing carbon fiber and lacquer into the same space, the exhibition creates a dialogue between Eastern and Western craftsmanship, contemporary materials and historic techniques, revealing different approaches to material, form and making across cultures and generations. 

Following the exhibition, the four SHANG XIA carbon fiber chairs will enter the Mobilier National’s permanent collection. This acquisition marks an important recognition of SHANG XIA’s approach to craftsmanship and contemporary design, while bringing a distinctive expression of Eastern design into one of France’s leading national collections. 

The Pavilion of Time: An Installation at the Domaine National du Palais-Royal 

At the Domaine National du Palais-Royal, in the heart of Paris, SHANG XIA joins designer Wu Bin, founder of W.DESIGN, to present The Pavilion of Time, a large-scale installation created for Paris Design Week. 

Wu Bin is the first Asian designer invited by the Ministry of Culture of France•Centre des monuments nationaux to present an installation at the Domaine National du Palais-Royal. Responding to this year’s Paris Design Week theme, “Pulse in Motion,” he has conceived a circular structure exploring time, movement, and space. 

Set along one of the garden’s tree-lined avenues, The Pavilion of Time draws a circle into a courtyard, making time tangible and walkable. Through reflection, translucency, and transparency, the installation dissolves into its surroundings—sky and passers‑by appear on its surfaces. Carbon fiber runs through the installation as a link between Eastern cultural references and a minimalist architectural language. 

At its center, SHANG XIA carbon fiber seating invites visitors to pause and experience the space from a different perspective. As light and shadow move across the paper-like screens, the installation brings together movement, material, and the passing of time. 

Two Exhibitions, One Vision of the Contemporary East 

From the Mobilier National to the gardens of the Palais-Royal, the two exhibitions offer different expressions of SHANG XIA’s approach to craftsmanship and design. Carbon fiber connects them, moving from the scale of an individual object to an immersive architectural installation. 

Together, they reflect SHANG XIA’s vision of the Contemporary East: rooted in culture and craftsmanship, while open to new materials, forms, and ways of experiencing design.

L’azienda introduce una piattaforma di ottimizzazione dell’esperienza agentica costruita per comprendere, decidere, agire e verificare in ogni punto di contatto digitale, con Wingz come motore di IA 

PARIGI, DELHI, India e NEW YORK, 16 settembre 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dopo la fusione annunciata all’inizio di quest’anno, VWO e AB Tasty hanno presentato oggi Wingify come marchio globale unificato per il business congiunto. La mossa segna anche la presentazione di una piattaforma combinata sotto un’unica categoria, la piattaforma di ottimizzazione dell’esperienza agentica, e una sola promessa: rendere rilevante ogni esperienza digitale. 

Un nome, un’unica traiettoria 

VWO e AB Tasty hanno impiegato ciascuna più di 15 anni per sviluppare il proprio business in modo indipendente prima della fusione. A seguito dell’operazione, l’azienda annovera ora oltre 100 milioni di dollari di entrate, oltre 4.000 clienti in tutto il mondo e un team di oltre 700 persone in 11 uffici in Nord America, Europa, Asia Pacifico e America Latina. 

“Mettere insieme VWO e AB Tasty non ha mai significato solo unire due piattaforme”, ha dichiarato Sparsh Gupta, CEO di Wingify. “Significa fornire ai nostri clienti una visione più chiara con una solida base di dati che aiuta ad agire. L’IA non è un altro livello che abbiamo aggiunto alla piattaforma; è la logica operativa della piattaforma, in quanto vede ciò che sta accadendo, decide cosa fare dopo e agisce mentre il visitatore è ancora sulla pagina. Ognuna di queste decisioni è valutata, quindi la rilevanza è qualcosa che possiamo verificare piuttosto che promettere”. 

L’IA sta cambiando ciò che è possibile. Il nuovo marchio e la nuova piattaforma si fondano su due idee: chiarezza e curiosità. Insieme all’IA, creano un nuovo approccio all’ottimizzazione, collegando ogni punto di contatto in tutta la suite e trasformando le informazioni in azioni più intelligenti. 

Introduzione della piattaforma di ottimizzazione dell’esperienza agentica 

Wingify è ora una nuova piattaforma di ottimizzazione dell’esperienza agentica, dove la sperimentazione, la personalizzazione, le informazioni comportamentali, l’ottimizzazione del commercio, la gestione delle funzionalità e il coinvolgimento dei clienti avvengono su un’unica base di dati, un unico flusso di lavoro e un’unica IA. Il cliente decide in pochi istanti e Wingify colma questo divario comprendendo, decidendo e agendo mentre la visita è ancora in corso e quindi verificando se ha funzionato. 

La base alimenta il ciclo di rilevanza: 

Comprensione. Legge segnali comportamentali, legati a esperienza, affinità, intenzione, contestuali ed emotivi, compresi quelli provenienti da visitatori anonimi. 

Decisione. L’IA collega tali informazioni e determina la migliore mossa successiva: l’esperienza, il design, la funzionalità, il messaggio o la raccomandazione giusti per ogni persona. 

Azione. Trasforma le decisioni in esperienze reali nel momento in cui contano, utilizzando gli stessi dati e le stesse informazioni attraverso la stessa suite connessa. 

Valutazione e apprendimento. La sperimentazione e l’analisi valutano ogni azione rispetto ai risultati aziendali, trasformando i risultati in nuove conoscenze che rendono ogni decisione successiva più intelligente. 

“Gli strumenti scollegati costano silenziosamente tempo ai team”, ha dichiarato Alix de Sagazan, CRO di Wingify. “Un’informazione da uno strumento deve essere ricostruita manualmente da qualche altra parte, e ogni trasferimento implica ritardi ed errori. Wingify colma queste lacune, quindi le informazioni si traducono in un’azione e l’azione si traduce in un’esperienza migliore”. 

Wingz: IA integrata in ogni fase 

Wingz, l’IA incorporata di Wingify, interviene nell’intero ciclo di rilevanza, utilizzando dati comportamentali reali per comprendere i visitatori, raccomandare e attivare le modifiche e valutare il loro impatto. 

“Gran parte dell’IA nel software di marketing è un assistente associato a un prodotto. Può dirti delle cose, ma non può fare molto, e certamente non può dirti se era giusto. Noi l’abbiamo costruita al contrario. Viene eseguita all’interno del ciclo, quindi vede il segnale, prende la decisione, trasmette la modifica e in seguito la valuta. Quest’ultima parte è la parte più difficile, ed è per questo che abbiamo impiegato 15 anni per costruire il livello di sperimentazione sottostante”, ha dichiarato Ankit Jain, Co-founder e Chief Product & Technology Officer di Wingify. 

Cosa significa per i clienti 

I clienti esistenti di VWO e AB Tasty possono contare su una piattaforma che permette loro di vedere e agire sul quadro generale, con una base di clienti che comprende L’Oréal, LVMH, Decathlon, Puma, Forbes, Motorola, AXA, De Beers e molti altri. “I nostri clienti hanno acquisito un vero slancio con VWO e AB Tasty molto prima di questa fusione”, ha sottolineato Rémi Aubert, Co-founder e Chief Customer & Strategy officer di Wingify. “Non si tratta di ricominciare da capo. Si tratta di alimentare tale slancio: una prospettiva più chiara, un set di strumenti più intelligenti e una piattaforma costruita per rendere ogni singola interazione più rilevante dell’ultima”. 

Il nuovo sito e il nuovo marchio sono disponibili oggi su wingify.com. 

Informazioni su Wingify 

Wingify è una piattaforma di ottimizzazione dell’esperienza agentica che aiuta i marchi a rendere rilevante ogni esperienza. Combinando la profonda comprensione del cliente, la decisione in tempo reale basata sull’IA, l’attivazione, la sperimentazione e l’analisi in un unico ciclo continuo. Wingify comprende ogni visitatore, decide cosa è più rilevante in quel momento, trasforma quella decisione in un’esperienza reale su web, app, ricerca, merchandising, e-mail, SMS e push; quindi, valuta il risultato e apprende da esso. 

Wingify assiste più di 4.000 clienti in tutto il mondo da 11 uffici in Nord America, Europa, Asia Pacifico e America Latina. Scopri di più su wingify.com.

-Exploring Spirit and Creativity behind Centuries of Japanese Indigo Craftsmanship at Palazzo Dona dalle Rose- 

TOKUSHIMA, Japan, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Atelier Seiran, a Tokushima-based textile studio, will host a talk series titled “From Indigo to the World — The Spirit and Creativity of Japanese Culture” on September 22 and 23, 2026, at Palazzo Dona dalle Rose. The event is part of the official Collateral Events program of the 61st Venice Biennale, within the exhibition “Fissures of Light Diaspora: Dissonances in Fa Minor.” 

The talks will explore the cultural philosophy behind Atelier Seiran’s work, tracing how Japan’s relationship with nature shapes its sense of beauty and creativity. Atelier Seiran was founded in Tokushima in 1970 by indigo artist Yoko Hashimoto, who devoted her career to Awa indigo and developed a distinctive method combining indigo dyeing with wax-resist (roketsuzome) techniques. Today, her daughters, Hatsuko Ukigawa and Kiyoko Hashimoto, carry that legacy forward, extending it into new forms of artistic expression. 

Hatsuko Ukigawa, the studio’s director, will speak at two sessions, presenting Atelier Seiran’s work and its cultural context. The program will also spotlight “Les Lucioles” (The Fireflies), a collaborative piece created through Ukigawa’s encounter with Cameroonian designer Serge Mouangue, reflecting the creative possibilities of Japanese indigo across cultures.

MUNICH, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hexnode, the enterprise software division of Mitsogo, today introduced Hexnode Synapse at HexCon26, its annual user conference. Hexnode Synapse is an agentic orchestration layer for IT and security operations designed to turn requests and system events into coordinated, governed and traceable actions. 

Tool sprawl is one of the defining frictions of IT and security operations. 

“If you look at the real work of IT, nothing ever happens inside just one system. Onboarding a person touches identity, devices, and your HR system. Responding to a threat touches the endpoint, the user’s access, and the ticket. And today, a person is the one connecting all of that, every single time,” said Apu Pavithran, CEO and Founder of Hexnode. 

Each handoff adds manual work and slows response. Hexnode Synapse connects those steps. 

What is Hexnode Synapse? 

Hexnode Synapse is a governed, agentic orchestration layer built to coordinate requests, alerts and events end to end, across every enterprise system involved in resolving them. 

Synapse starts with native context from Hexnode UEM, Hexnode XDR and Hexnode IdP and extends workflows into surrounding IT and security tools. Rather than requiring administrators to move manually between consoles, it coordinates agents, approvals and system actions around each request, alert or event. 

How does Hexnode Synapse work? 

Hexnode Synapse works through specialist AI agents that reason about incoming requests and alerts, determine the next step and act within defined guardrails. It initially includes: 

Organizations can also configure custom agents around their own tools and knowledge base sources. 

Hexnode Synapse can also coordinate cross-product sequences when a workflow spans more than one system. 

For example, a single prompt like “Onboard John” reads the new hire’s HR profile and kicks off the onboarding: Hexnode Synapse creates the identity and assigns app licenses based on the employee’s department, pushes zero-touch device configuration and endpoint protection policies in parallel, and records the corresponding IT ticket, all as one governed workflow. If a step stalls, it recovers on its own; when app licenses run out, Synapse raises a ticket and resumes provisioning once a seat frees up. 

How is Hexnode Synapse governed by design? 

Hexnode Synapse uses guardrails, the admin-defined limits on what an agent can ever do on its own, together with action-level approval gates and a traceable execution history to keep agent actions under human control. Sensitive actions, such as a device wipe, endpoint isolation or privileged access change, are routed to a named approver before execution. 

Every autonomous or approved action is recorded in the Execution Centre. IT and security teams can browse and export this history, turning an audit into a download rather than a multi-week evidence hunt. 

Initial integrations and availability 

At launch, Hexnode Synapse integrates with ServiceNow, Zendesk, Microsoft Entra ID and BambooHR, extending orchestration into surrounding IT and security workflows alongside Hexnode UEM, Hexnode XDR and Hexnode IdP. Hexnode plans to steadily expand the integration catalog and Synapse’s core capabilities in the phases ahead. 

Hexnode Synapse will enter invite-only trial later this year. Interested organizations can register at www.hexnode.com/synapse/. 

About Hexnode 

Hexnode is a leading provider of enterprise solutions, including Hexnode UEM for autonomous and AI-powered endpoint management, Hexnode XDR for intelligent threat detection and response, and Hexnode IdP for secure, context-aware identity and access management.

FIRENZE – Il 3-0 con cui la Fiorentina ha eliminato il Pisa nei sedicesimi di Coppa Italia matura in 96’01” di gioco complessivo. La radiografia numerica evidenzia il controllo dei viola sul possesso palla (68,39% contro il 31,61%), tradotto in 13 tiri totali (7 nello specchio e 8 dall’interno dell’area) a fronte di soli 6 tentativi del Pisa (0 nello specchio).

Sul piano della corsa, il Pisa ha espresso un volume complessivo superiore (122,122 km percorsi articolati in 96,007 km jog, 23,647 km run e 1,886 km sprint) rispetto alla Fiorentina (118,292 km totali: 92,747 km jog, 22,770 km run e 2,148 km sprint). Ciononostante, il maggior dispendio fisico dei nerazzurri non ha compensato il divario di pericolosità.

La Fiorentina si è schierata in campo con il 4-3-3, mantenendo un baricentro medio alto a 57,14 m nel primo tempo e a 56,27 m nel secondo, con una lunghezza media della squadra tra i 32,28 m e i 30,67 m. Degli 813 palloni giocati, 352 sono stati registrati a centrocampo, 275 in difesa e 186 in attacco. Il Pisa, invece, si è schierato con il 3-4-2-1, con un baricentro medio di 41,71 m nel primo tempo e di 42,06 m nel secondo.

New-generation ESL harvests ambient indoor light to support more responsive shelf-edge operations, reducing daily energy consumption by up to 46% under a representative retail operating scenario.  

PARIS, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hanshow today unveiled Nebular Lux, its new-generation electronic shelf label (ESL), at NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show Europe. Built on a hybrid energy architecture, Nebular Lux harvests ambient indoor light to supplement battery power, bringing together greater operational responsiveness and lower battery-related carbon impact at the shelf edge. 

Under a representative retail operating scenario, Nebular Lux reduces daily energy consumption by approximately 46% compared with conventional ESL deployments. Across a deployment of one million labels, the solution can help avoid approximately 202 metric tons of CO₂ emissions associated with battery production and replacement activities over a 10-year operating period. Together, these efficiencies demonstrate how a more energy-efficient shelf-edge architecture can support both long-term operational performance and sustainability at scale. 

As retailers deploy millions of electronic shelf labels, the shelf edge is becoming an increasingly important part of day-to-day store operations. At the same time, retailers need to support more frequent and responsive shelf-edge services without compromising the long operational life required at scale. Balancing responsiveness, longevity and sustainability is therefore becoming an increasingly important consideration as digital shelf infrastructure evolves. 

Nebular Lux is designed to address this challenge through a hybrid energy architecture that combines ambient indoor light harvesting, ultra-low-power electronics, and Hanshow’s fifth-generation communication protocol HiLPC, reflecting system-level engineering across energy management, communications, positioning and retail-scale product integration. 

This expanded energy budget supports more frequent positioning and longer-duration LED signalling, helping retailers scale high-frequency use cases such as picking, replenishment, product finding and location-based services without compromising standard product longevity. For retailers, this can translate into better product availability, greater operational efficiency and more responsive store execution. At the same time, lower battery consumption and fewer replacement requirements can help reduce lifecycle operating costs, improve total cost of ownership and strengthen the return on ESL infrastructure investments. 

“The next generation of shelf infrastructure needs to do more than remain connected — it needs to become more responsive while also using energy more intelligently,” said Philippe Brochard, Chairman of the Advisory Board at Hanshow. “Nebular Lux brings these two priorities together, helping retailers create a faster connection between insight and action while supporting a more sustainable foundation for Store Digital Twin at scale.”  Nebular Lux demonstrates how the evolution of digital shelf infrastructure can support both more responsive store operations and longer-term sustainability goals. 

At NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show Europe, Hanshow is demonstrating how Nebular Lux integrates with its broader Store Digital Twin portfolio at Hall 6, Booth E-020. Hanshow’s intelligent robotics solution NexMate is also making its European debut at the event, further expanding Store Digital Twin with intelligent sensing and execution capabilities.

LONDON, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fastmarkets today announced its collaboration with TMX Trayport, a global provider of trading networks, platforms and solutions, to underpin Fastmarkets Connect, its digital platform for the physical lithium market. This brings together Fastmarkets’ lithium market expertise with TMX Trayport’s established technology, to create trusted digital infrastructure with greater transparency, connectivity and access to spot liquidity. 

Fastmarkets Connect is the new name for the digital price discovery and deal initiation proposition announced in June at the Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials conference in Las Vegas. 

TMX Trayport’s technology is widely used across established commodity markets, including energy, environmental markets and bulk commodities. By working with TMX Trayport, Fastmarkets will bring proven market infrastructure to the lithium sector, where electronic price discovery and deal initiation mechanisms remain less developed than in many more mature commodity markets. 

This collaboration marks the next stage in the development of the platform to support electronic price discovery. Fastmarkets Connect is being designed to support bilateral deal initiation, improve market transparency, standardization and connect participants across the lithium supply chain. Fastmarkets Connect aims to contribute to the continued development of lithium market infrastructure. 

Under the arrangement, TMX Trayport will provide the platform technology, while Fastmarkets will operate Fastmarkets Connect and oversee its governance, development and market engagement. The development of the platform is in consultation with an industry advisory group of market participants from across the lithium value chain.  

“We selected TMX Trayport because of its proven ability to support complex commodity markets with trusted, scalable technology. Their experience in market connectivity and enabling digital execution, combined with Fastmarkets’ lithium expertise, gives Fastmarkets Connect a strong foundation to support a more efficient and connected physical lithium market,” said Raju Daswani, CEO of Fastmarkets. 

“We’re excited for the opportunity to introduce our proven digital market technology solutions into a sector where electronic workflows and market networks are still in their infancy,” said Matt Brief, president of TMX Trayport. “We look forward to working with Fastmarkets to design and deliver foundational infrastructure to the rapidly evolving lithium market, helping it become more connected, transparent and efficient.” 

Fastmarkets’ IOSCO-compliant benchmark prices are essential to physical lithium contracts and act as the settlement reference for futures listed on the CME, London Metal Exchange, ICE and SGX. The platform complements that pricing expertise with a digital space to discover prices and initiate deals and is being built with input from an advisory group of industry participants.
