Hefei – September 22, 2026 -- Pylontech (688063:SH) began mass production of its 588Ah and 601Ah prismatic LFP cells for utility-scale energy storage at its Hefei manufacturing base on September 21, with more than 100MWh already produced.
The 601Ah cell delivers an energy density of 425.8Wh/L, a cycle life exceeding 12,000 cycles and energy efficiency of 96.5%. The higher-capacity design cuts the number of cells and interconnections needed per storage system, allowing more compact architectures and improved lifecycle economics.
The 588Ah and 601Ah cells, developed in-house, are being integrated into Pylontech's next-generation PyOcean 6.25MWh and 8MWh energy storage systems, which are moving into project delivery.

The BL54LM20A supports Bluetooth LE Core 6.x, 802.15.4 for Thread/Matter, and NFC within an 11 x 8 x 1.8 mm footprint, alongside Secure Boot, Secure Firmware Update, and Secure Storage.
Horsham, Pennsylvania – September 22, 2026 -- C&D Technologies has won a Stratus Award in the AI Data Center Infrastructure (Power, Cooling, Density) category from the Business Intelligence Group, recognizing its energy storage systems built for high-density AI computing environments.
The Stratus Awards evaluate organizations for excellence in cloud computing and related technologies. Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer at the Business Intelligence Group, said this year's category shifted focus from where workloads run to what infrastructure can sustain independently, and that C&D Technologies met that bar by demonstrating completed technology performance rather than projected capability.
Campbell, Calif. – September 22, 2026 -- Centric Software confirmed that Los Angeles-based fashion brand STAUD has gone live with its Centric PLM platform, centralizing product development data across internal teams and manufacturing partners.
STAUD, founded in 2015 by Sarah Staudinger and George Augusto, produces handbags, ready-to-wear and accessories.

Seoul, South Korea – September 22, 2026 -- AKA, a cognitive AI company, has completed an enterprise pilot of its EOS Sales Knowledge Engine with one of the world's largest consumer electronics companies, demonstrating measurable gains in sales knowledge accuracy and evaluation consistency across large, geographically dispersed retail and reseller networks.
The pilot targeted a persistent problem in large-scale consumer electronics retail: keeping product knowledge consistent across linguistically and geographically diverse sales and reseller teams. Traditional evaluation relies on manager judgment for both soft-skill assessment and factual accuracy, a method AKA says introduces inconsistency and scales poorly across markets and languages.
San Francisco – September 22, 2026 -- ScamAdviser's Watchmen platform won the Scam Fighter Award at the Global Anti-Scam Summit (GASS) America 2026, organized by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) in San Francisco, for its role in cutting fraud detection-to-takedown times from weeks to under 8 hours.
In deployments with financial regulators, law enforcement agencies, and municipal governments, Watchmen demonstrated national-level impact, including a 38% reduction in the share of investment scam financial losses. The system uses multi-layered filtering, expert rule engines, and Large Language Model (LLM) semantic analysis to monitor corporate communication channels and social media platforms for brand impersonation, triggering automated takedown mechanisms once threats are confirmed.
