Product Launch

Denton, Texas – September 15, 2026 -- CBS ArcSafe has introduced the RRS-3 VY Toshiba, a remote racking system that lets technicians operate Toshiba VY-30M25A circuit breakers from up to 300 feet away, keeping crews outside the arc flash boundary.

System eliminates manual contact during breaker racking operations

The RRS-3 VY Toshiba handles rotary racking only and requires no modifications to existing switchgear. Because operators never make manual contact with the gear during racking, the system reduces or eliminates the need for arc flash hazard suits.

Unit weighs 18.5 pounds for portability across multiple breaker sites

The device draws 100 watts and runs through the RSO-IV-M18 control console, powered by a Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM battery pack. Operating distances range from 12 to 300 feet, allowing crews to position setups according to room layout, equipment configuration, and site safety protocols.

Downers Grove, Ill. – September 15, 2026 -- Blackmer, part of PSG, a Dover (NYSE: DOV) company, has launched a behind-the-rotor seal for its G Series Internal Gear Pumps, targeting improved durability in abrasive material handling.

New seal isolates drive components from abrasive process fluids

The behind-the-rotor seal prevents process fluids and abrasive materials from contacting the drive components of the G Series pumps. Blackmer states this reduces wear, simplifies maintenance and increases uptime for operators across industrial applications.

Seal supports lower-cost bushing option for abrasive service

The design is available in Type 1 or Type 8 configurations, giving operators flexibility based on application requirements. It also supports use of a lower-cost bronze bushing when pumping abrasive materials, a feature aimed at reducing total cost of ownership for customers handling starches, inks, pulp, resins and adhesives.

Venice – September 15, 2026 -- DJI convened a professional forum titled "Filmmakers and Visionaries" at the Venice Production Bridge during the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, positioning its pocket-sized Osmo Pocket 4P camera as a tool capable of matching large-scale production standards.

Hunt Valley, Md. – September 15, 2026 -- GEARWRENCH has launched a three-product shop cleaning lineup targeting professional mechanics, expanding beyond its core hand tool business into hand and surface care.

GEARWRENCH introduces Heavy-Duty Hand Soap in two sizes for shop use

The Heavy-Duty Hand Soap ships in an 8 oz. handheld bottle and a 64 oz. refill size, formulated with finely ground pumice and natural clays to remove grease, oil and grime while reducing skin drying common with traditional mechanic soaps. The 64 oz. version includes a patented dispenser usable free-standing or wall-mounted for garage and shop settings.

Durham – September 15, 2026 -- Seismic Pharmaceuticals has commenced a global Phase 3 trial of Istaroxime, aiming to deliver the first-ever approved drug for cardiogenic shock, a condition with no currently FDA-approved treatments.

Trial to enroll 600 patients across three continents

The study, named Rescue HF CS, will recruit approximately 600 patients at clinical sites in the United States, Europe and South America. It builds on four completed Phase 2 trials in which more than 340 patients received Istaroxime.

Berlin – September 15, 2026 -- Midea has sold more than 10 million air conditioners using R290 natural refrigerant since 2018, cutting an estimated 5.2 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions, the company said at IFA 2026, an impact it compares to the carbon absorption of 6.2 million hectares of Amazon rainforest.

Midea marks 16 years as top global manufacturer of R290 air conditioners

The company has led global production of air conditioners using R290 refrigerant for 16 consecutive years, driving compressor safety and performance advances tied to the gas. R290 carries an extremely low global warming potential, near-zero CO2 emissions, no PFAS content, and delivers roughly 10% higher energy efficiency than conventional refrigerants, according to Midea. A transparent unit on the IFA stand let visitors view the refrigerant system operating in real time.

Alexandria, Va. – September 15, 2026 -- Woodpack Global has launched Crate Design SystemTM (CDS), a new software tool aimed at replacing decades-old methods still used across the wooden crate and industrial wood packaging industry.

Crate design tools have lagged behind industry needs since the 1960s

Much of the foundational research underpinning wooden crate design dates back more than six decades, forcing engineers and manufacturers to rely on outdated calculation methods not built for modern crate applications. CDS is positioned as the first purpose-built software option for this segment, adapting fastener behavior, wood property, and structural performance models from Woodpack Global's existing Pallet Design SystemTM (PDS).

Lexington, Ky. – September 15, 2026 -- A 14-year audit of 758 B2B press releases found that none scored above the 80-out-of-100 threshold required to be considered "AI wire-ready," according to research accompanying the launch of Pitch'd, a press release builder now live at www.pitchdapp.com.

Study finds AI-citation readiness in B2B releases nearly halved as AI search emerged

The report, titled "Why ChatGPT Doesn't Cite Your Releases," tracked the share of releases scoring well on AI-visibility metrics and found it fell from 21.5 percent in the pre-AI era to 10.8 percent in the AI era, driven by newly required scoring criteria tied to answer engine optimization (AEO). The findings underpin the case for Pitch'd, built by St. Nick Media Services, a B2B PR agency founded in 1998.

Atlanta – September 15, 2026 -- Granum has relaunched Greenius, its employee training platform for landscaping and arboriculture businesses, with new native mobile apps and bilingual course content in English and Spanish.

New hires can start training within five minutes via QR code sign-up

The rebuilt platform lets landscaping companies onboard a new hire by scanning a QR code, placing them into training content in under five minutes. The system draws on a library of more than 200 purpose-built courses covering landscaping and tree care operations.

Standardized playlists aim to keep crew output consistent across job sites

Businesses can assign pre-built, role-specific course playlists so that every new hire receives identical training regardless of which crew or manager brought them on. Granum says the goal is uniform output quality across properties, independent of on-site supervision.

Moriarty, New Mexico – September 15, 2026 -- Sceye's ST1 high-altitude platform has completed a nearly 30,000-km round-trip mission between New Mexico and Japan, landing back near the company's Moriarty headquarters after re-entering continental U.S. airspace on September 4, 2026. The uncrewed stratospheric aircraft reached New Mexico airspace on September 5, 2026, where engineers ran final platform tests before executing a planned flight-termination and descent procedure.
