LONDON – September 17, 2026 -- Sokin has released a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector that links its licensed payment infrastructure directly to AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, allowing finance teams to prepare cross-border payments without leaving the chat interface.

Sokin's MCP connector processed 10 multi-currency invoices in under 10 minutes during testing

In internal testing, the connector handled 10 multi-currency invoices and treasury moves in under 10 minutes, a task that would normally require manual keying by accounts payable staff. Every instruction generated by the AI agent is still presented to the customer for confirmation, and existing Sokin approval rules apply before any payment settles on its rails.

Atlanta – September 17, 2026 -- SlateSafety has launched the BEACON V3, a connected multi-sensor device that monitors worker exposure to heat, noise and lone-worker emergencies without relying on personal phones or IT infrastructure.

Device combines thermal, noise and lone worker monitoring in one unit

The BEACON V3 can be worn or mounted at industrial sites, tracking air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, dew point, heat index, Humidex and estimated Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (eWBGT) to flag heat stress risks in real time.

For noise exposure, the device measures Sound Pressure Level with configurable A, C or Z weightings and Fast or Slow response times, calculating Leq, Dose, Projected Dose, Time Weighted Average (TWA) and Projected TWA to warn against long-term hearing damage.
