Product Launch

Centreville, Va. – September 22, 2026 -- Just 17% of security leaders are extremely confident in their ability to detect identity-based threats, even though 82% now consider identity the new security perimeter, according to research from CIO Dive's Studio conducted in partnership with ID Dataweb. The same research found 43% of leaders cite fragmented identity systems as their top obstacle to defense.

ID Dataweb, an identity threat detection and risk mitigation provider, released a new buyer's guide, "Identity Threat Detection & Risk Mitigation," aimed at executive and senior security leaders navigating a fragmented vendor landscape. The guide argues that feature checklists and point-product comparisons no longer capture whether a security platform can function as a cohesive, end-to-end system.

Minneapolis – September 22, 2026 -- Claros Technologies has completed a two-week commercial-scale pilot of its ClarosTechUVTM system at Bachem AG's flagship manufacturing campus in Bubendorf, Switzerland, meeting or exceeding the pharmaceutical company's performance metrics for destroying trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in industrial wastewater.

The trial marks Claros' entry into pharmaceutical manufacturing and expands its commercial footprint in Europe. Bachem, a listed producer of peptide and oligonucleotide APIs including semaglutide, the active ingredient in GLP-1 therapies for weight management and type 2 diabetes, ran the pilot under real-world production conditions.

Fremont, California – September 22, 2026 -- Autel Energy cut the ribbon on a new North American Experience Center in Fremont, California, on September 22, 2026, expanding its footprint in the Bay Area's EV charging technology corridor and launching a two-day Partner Summit for its hardware, software and deployment ecosystem.

Autel Energy pairs facility launch with new Modal amenity-pod partnership

Alongside the opening, Autel Energy announced a partnership with Modal, a provider of modular, fully managed amenity pods for EV charging sites. The deal gives Autel Energy's distributors, resellers and network operators a route to build charging locations that combine high-power EV charging with driver-focused amenities on site.

Singapore – September 22, 2026 -- J.P. Morgan Payments has selected Thunes to expand its Xpedite Remit solution, granting clients access to 12 billion mobile wallets and bank accounts across more than 100 payment corridors worldwide.

Thunes network unlocks real-time payouts across 100+ corridors

The expanded partnership combines J.P. Morgan Payments' connectivity to local real-time payment rails with Thunes' Direct Global Network, enabling clients to send same-currency or FX-converted payouts to bank accounts and mobile wallets from a single account and connectivity point. The solution offers principal protection and end-to-end traceability for transactions routed through 24/7 real-time payment networks.

Debrecen -- CATL began trial production on September 22, 2026 at its newly built battery cell factory in Debrecen, Hungary, after clearing all preconditions tied to its IPPC environmental permit.

Trial run targets first two production lines at Debrecen facility

The trial phase covers the first two production lines of the cell manufacturing plant, following the occupancy permit obtained in August 2026. CATL will use the period to set up, optimize and validate production equipment and manufacturing processes ahead of full series production.

County government confirms earlier compliance deficiencies resolved

The Hajdú-Bihar County Government Office conducted repeated on-site inspections before issuing the occupancy permit, responding to concerns previously raised by local residents. Authority representatives confirmed that CATL had resolved all deficiencies identified earlier in the permitting process.

Redwood City, Calif. – September 22, 2026 -- Findem has launched Findem Studio, a suite of AI agents designed to deliver finished, evidence-backed people-analytics work rather than raw data or search results. The platform is now available for free trial at studio.findem.ai/solutions.

Studio agents produce succession plans, market maps and benchmarks with supporting evidence

Findem Studio combines the company's proprietary people intelligence with AI agents built on methodologies from named practitioners. Outputs include succession plans, leadership benchmarks, hiring briefs, skills gap analyses, org charts and CHRO and VP of Talent Acquisition benchmarks. Rather than returning a candidate list for a succession plan, for example, an agent evaluates potential successors against expert-defined criteria and produces a plan with documented rationale that teams can review, challenge and refine before acting.

Toronto – September 22, 2026 -- OSCPS Motion Sensing Inc., operating as OSCP, released an open-source ROS 2 driver for its MK2 family of inertial measurement units, targeting robots that navigate GNSS-denied indoor environments such as warehouses, inspection tunnels and greenhouses.

Driver ships under MIT licence with full ROS 2 Humble and Jazzy support

The driver, published at github.com/OSCPS/oscp_ros2_driver, connects MK2-family units to ROS 2 systems over RS-422 or CAN-FD and publishes on standard sensor_msgs topics. It comprises three packages -- the driver node, a COBS-decoding library with frame definitions, and OSCP message types stamped with the unit's internal clock -- and supports Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04.

Atlanta – September 22, 2026 -- Sercomm (TWSE: 5388) has launched a fully ITU-T G.9804.3-compliant 50G PON product portfolio, targeting service providers accelerating their transition to all-fiber networks amid surging bandwidth demand from 8K streaming, cloud gaming, AR/VR, enterprise connectivity and mobile backhaul.

Sercomm's 50G PON ONU lineup supports both asymmetric 50G/25G and symmetrical 50G/50G operation

The portfolio, built to ITU-T G.9804.3 specifications, positions 50G PON as the successor to XGS-PON, enabling multi-gigabit symmetrical connectivity for residential, business and mobile-backhaul deployments.

The solution enables tri-PON coexistence with GPON and XGS-PON on shared optical distribution networks

This interoperability protects operators' existing fiber investments and allows a phased migration path from HFC to fiber-deep architectures rather than requiring wholesale infrastructure replacement.

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – September 22, 2026 -- CentralReach has launched ReportDraftAI, an AI-assisted tool that compiles authorization, clinical and progress data into a review-ready report draft for Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), cutting a process that typically takes 9-12 hours per learner into a fraction of that non-billable time.

BCBAs spend 46% of their time on non-billable documentation, nearly double clinical guidelines

A 2025 study in Behavior Analysis in Practice found behavior analysts devote approximately 46% of their time to indirect activities such as reporting, data analysis and treatment plan development, against a recommended 25-30%. The same documentation load correlates with burnout: 72% of ABA practitioners report medium-to-high burnout tied to reporting demands.

San Diego – September 22, 2026 -- Circular Genomics and Altoida have entered a collaboration pairing blood-based circular RNA (circRNA) biomarkers with AI-powered digital cognitive testing to accelerate Alzheimer's drug development and build a scalable frontline diagnostic pathway.

Companies design a two-step diagnostic workflow combining digital and molecular data

The alliance links Circular Genomics' CircPathTM circRNA biomarker platform with Altoida's Digital NeuroMarkerTM platform. The proposed workflow starts with a 10-minute, self-administered digital cognitive assessment, followed by a confirmatory circRNA blood test to validate underlying disease biology. The companies say this sequence could reduce dependence on hours-long, specialist-administered neuropsychological batteries and extend Alzheimer's screening into primary care settings.
