Product Launch

Port Clinton, Ohio – September 15, 2026 -- LogistiQ has launched FlowLogiQ L11, a large package singulator that achieves a 1.5% error rate while processing 15,000 packages per hour, targeting parcel distribution centers under pressure to boost pre-sort throughput.

System handles packages up to 70 pounds using triple the drive motor density of rival solutions

FlowLogiQ L11 converts disorganized bulk flows of cartons and bags into a single-file, gapped line ready for induction to automated sorters. The system processes items up to 70 pounds and 30 inches long, and in test applications with an average parcel length of 27 inches and a 12-inch product gap, it delivered the 1.5% error rate at 15,000 packages per hour. LogistiQ uses three drive motors per 10 feet of belt, compared with one per 10 feet in alternative systems, giving operators finer speed control during singulating and gapping and simplifying restarts after jams or maintenance.

Yorktown Heights, N.Y. – September 15, 2026 -- IBM and NASA released the open-source NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model, one of the first publicly available foundation models built for scientific exploration of the Moon, outperforming widely used detection methods by up to 23% in identifying craters, ice deposits and volcanic formations.

Model cuts ice-detection error by up to 22% versus baseline

The model reduced root-mean-square error in identifying areas with high potential for lunar ice by up to 22% compared with the SwinV2-B (ImageNet) benchmark, according to a technical paper authored by IBM and NASA researchers. Permanently shadowed lunar regions -- among the hardest environments to observe -- may hold subsurface ice, a resource NASA considers essential for a future Moon base and for producing rocket fuel for Mars missions.

Irvine, Calif. – September 15, 2026 -- Roland DG has launched the TrueVis MG2 Series, a UV printer/cutter range delivering approximately twice the productivity of its predecessor while cutting ink costs through new 1,000 ml pouches.
