Nexteer Automotive Joins SAE ITC The Health-Ready Component & Systems (HRCS) Consortium

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Nexteer Automotive, a leader in intuitive motion control, is pleased to join SAE ITC as part of the Health Ready Components and Systems (HRCS) consortium. Nexteer joins members Bell, Garrett Motion, General Motors, Global Strategic Solutions LLC, SafeRide Technologies, VHM Innovations LLC and Volvo Group Trucks Technology in the HRCS consortium to…

«Nexteer is excited to join SAE’s consortium on Health Ready Components and Systems. Implementing a necessary framework and industry standard enables the deployment of new algorithms – such as in advanced steering features and functions – and increases the dependability of automated and connected vehicles,» said Robin Milavec, Senior Vice President, Executive Board Director, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), Nexteer Automotive.

Peter Grau, program manager, HRCS Consortium, stated: «We believe that IVHM technology will provide significant advantages in terms of performance, availability and safety. To date, the level of IVHM deployment has been limited due in part to a lack of uniform information sharing methods. The HRCS Consortium sees an opportunity to accelerate IVHM implementation through the application of open standards to promote interoperability and avoid the proliferation of costly and potentially counterproductive proprietary approaches.»

Nexteer joins the HRCS Consortium to deploy the best practices and guidance provided in the SAE JA6268™ Standard: Design & Run-Time Information Exchange for Health-Ready Components. SAE JA6268 is the foundational document which facilitates integration of IVHM functionality in health-ready components to meet the needs and objectives of operators, OEMs and government regulators in a cost-effective manner. The standard provides a structured methodology for specifying, characterizing and exposing the inherent IVHM functionality of a component or subsystem using a common functional reference model.

«With the growing technology push for increased electrification and even autonomy in the transportation sectors, VHM and the new SAE HRCS Consortium offers a proactive approach to mitigate the concurrent risks,» said Steve Holland, lead consultant for VHM Innovations, LLC and Chairman of the HRCS Consortium. «Game-changing opportunities abound for Vehicle Health Management in the transportation-related sectors and the new SAE HRCS Consortium promises to speed industrial application.»

IVHM solutions improve fleet efficiencies while improving product reliability and reducing unplanned maintenance and warranty costs. The HRCS Consortium is establishing a multi-sector, global IVHM community to create best practices and procedures for operators, OEMs and suppliers. This will facilitate and promote industry-wide application of IVHM technology to improve asset operational availability, sustainment and efficiencies. The HRCS Consortium will define registration and qualification processes and approvals. Registered component capabilities and contact information will be made available via the SAE HRCS database.

ElectrifAi anuncia una nueva relación comercial con OXIO a través de AWS

Soluciones empresariales de aprendizaje automático rápidas y confiables 

JERSEY CITY, Nueva Jersey, 25 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ElectrifAi, una de las empresas líderes en el mundo en inteligencia artificial (IA) práctica y modelos de aprendizaje automático predefinidos, anunció hoy que trabajará con OXIO, una empresa de telecomunicaciones con sede en Nueva York, para personalizar las tarifas de los planes telefónicos.

<div…

Soluciones empresariales de aprendizaje automático rápidas y confiables 

ElectrifAi tiene una amplia experiencia en la industria de las telecomunicaciones gracias a su tecnología de aprendizaje automático. Entre los numerosos beneficios que esta alianza ofrecerá, se encuentran la generación de mayores ingresos a través de la segmentación de clientes, la personalización y el hecho de alentar a los clientes a gastar más en un operador de telecomunicaciones específico. ElectrifAi ha aplicado su experiencia en este campo para mejorar la capacidad de OXIO de predecir con exactitud el uso que un cliente individual hace de su teléfono.

OXIO tiene un modelo empresarial único que ofrece a las marcas y empresas un operador como servicio. OXIO ha construido la moderna red superpuesta como una solución basada totalmente en la nube, que combina la conectividad inalámbrica de muchos proveedores. Gracias a ello, OXIO hace posible una red de activos livianos con fines personalizados que se entrega a cada marca en cuestión de días. El enfoque basado en datos de OXIO que utiliza los modelos de aprendizaje automático de ElectrifAi permite a OXIO diseñar planes tarifarios que ahorran dinero a los clientes al evitar el pago de servicios que no necesitan.

Los analistas humanos pueden estimar el uso del teléfono, pero no con el grado de precisión que permite la tecnología de aprendizaje automático. La inteligencia artificial identifica patrones en miles de puntos de datos que se integran en un modelo de aprendizaje automático para generar recomendaciones.

El modelo de aprendizaje automático predefinido de ElectrifAi, laAsignación inicial del plan tarifario, utiliza un marco existente que le permitirá a OXIO comercializar su solución más rápido que si se construyera de cero, lo que permite a los clientes comenzar a ahorrar dinero antes. La precisión del modelo también garantizará que los planes tarifarios recomendados eviten que los clientes incurran en cargos excesivos por uso adicional.

Las funcionalidades de aprendizaje automático de ElectrifAi permiten a OXIO una rápida materialización de los resultados. OXIO implementará estos modelos de aprendizaje automático en su propio entorno de nube seguro de Amazon Web Services (AWS) en Amazon SageMaker, un servicio AWS que ayuda a los científicos y desarrolladores de datos a preparar, crear, entrenar e implementar rápidamente modelos de aprendizaje automático de alta calidad. OXIO cargará sus datos directamente en el modelo de aprendizaje automático de Amazon SageMaker sin compartir los datos del usuario final con ElectrifAi, lo que reduce los riesgos de privacidad y seguridad, con lo cual se protegerá mejor a los usuarios finales. El modelo ofrece luego recomendaciones que se devuelven oportunamente a los flujos de datos existentes de OXIO sin ningún tipo de programación y con solo una configuración mínima.

A medida que OXIO siga expandiendo su presencia en el mercado en los Estados Unidos, ElectrifAi ayudará a ampliar la capacidad de OXIO de ofrecer precisión específica para las opciones de planes de telefonía para los clientes. Además, el modelo de aprendizaje automático de ElectrifAi apuntalará los esfuerzos de personalización de OXIO, lo que permitirá que la empresa se enfoque con precisión en su mercado objetivo.

«Con las soluciones de ElectrifAI, OXIO podrá atender a sus clientes con las mejores funcionalidades de la ciencia de datos y la IA, sin parangón en la industria de las telecomunicaciones hoy en día. Las funcionalidades de la IA de ElectrifAi ayudarán a OXIO a redefinir la industria de las telecomunicaciones tal como la conocemos al abrir la puerta a modelos de negocio completamente nuevos, y esperamos ampliar esta cooperación a otros campos», señaló Gilles Louwerens, director de Inteligencia empresarial y clientes de OXIO.

Agilyx and ExxonMobil Establish Cyclyx Joint Venture to Supply Plastics Recycling Industry

TIGARD, Ore., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Agilyx Corporation (AGLX), a wholly owned subsidiary of Agilyx AS (Euronext Growth (Oslo): «AGLX») and a leader in advanced recycling technology, established Cyclyx International LLC., on January 1, 2021. ExxonMobil joined Agilyx to become a founding member of the joint venture which is focused on helping increase plastic waste recycling.

Cyclyx will aggregate and pre-process plastic waste to meet the technical requirements of a wide range of recycling processes while ensuring reliable supply of feedstock to its customers. Cyclyx aims to transform the current supply chain and help accelerate the growth of the advanced recycling industry by connecting companies looking for plastic waste solutions with customers engaged in recycling initiatives.

The joint venture combines Agilyx’s expertise in plastic waste conversion with ExxonMobil’s technology expertise and large-scale petro-chemical manufacturing network. As part of the agreement, Cyclyx will help supply plastic waste feedstocks for ExxonMobil’s advanced recycling projects. Advanced recycling involves breaking down plastic waste to its molecular building blocks which are then used in the process of making virgin-quality plastic and other valuable products.

«This is a significant milestone for Agilyx and Cyclyx, as it marks the beginning of an entirely new approach to plastic waste recovery,» said Tim Stedman, chief executive officer at Agilyx. «Our mission at Agilyx is clear – to help solve the issue of plastic waste.»

«This joint venture represents an entirely new proposition about the way we handle plastic waste,» said Joe Vaillancourt, newly appointed chief executive officer of Cyclyx. «The Cyclyx business model brings tangible solutions, turning plastic waste into valuable new products. Leveraging Agilyx’s expertise in plastics recycling and the scale of partners like ExxonMobil, we aim to create a lasting and impactful change.»

«We see Cyclyx as helping to fill an important missing link in the plastics recycling value chain that is needed for advanced recycling solutions to scale,» said Karen McKee, President of ExxonMobil Chemical Company. «We share society’s concern about plastic waste, and our new joint venture is an important step in our efforts to develop advanced recycling technologies and approaches to help meet demand for certified circular polymers.»

ExxonMobil holds a 25 percent equity interest in Cyclyx with Agilyx owning the remaining 75 percent. In addition to supplying plastic waste to Agilyx’s customers and ExxonMobil, Cyclyx also aims to supply other customers with feedstock solutions for a wide range of recycling initiatives.

Cyclyx invites other companies to join as members, connecting waste producers with advanced and mechanical recyclers through innovative supply chains. Members could include retailers, brand owners, waste management companies, petrochemical companies, municipalities and others looking for solutions to address plastic waste in the environment.

Cautionary Statement

Statements of future events or conditions in this release are forward-looking statements. Actual future results, including project plans, operational results, scaling and expanding current recycling and research, the impacts of new technologies, and the creation of new sources of supply for industrial processes, could vary depending on the outcome of further research and testing; the development and competitiveness of alternative technologies; the ability to scale current projects on a cost-effective basis; political and regulatory developments; and other factors discussed in this release.

MOU signifies milestone in the development of ESG platform to support SGX-listed companies in their reporting needs
Collaboration sets OneConnect in pole position in APAC for using technologies in enhancing reporting and applying ESG information

SINGAPORE, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — OneConnect Financial Technology Co., Ltd. (OneConnect) the leading technology-as-a-service platform provider and an associate of Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. («Ping An«), today said it had entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Singapore Exchange (SGX) to collaborate and build an environmental, social and governance (ESG) platform to facilitate and simplify the ESG disclosure processes of companies listed on SGX.

This collaboration is part of efforts to develop and promote a sustainable ecosystem by raising the quality of ESG disclosures and promoting the application and integration of ESG factors across capital market stakeholders in the long term. The collaboration places OneConnect as the ESG trailblazer of the Asia Pacific region, deploying a suite of tech solutions that establishes a framework and streamlines ESG reporting through specified standard indicators and templates.

The platform will help companies listed on SGX to efficiently manage and make their sustainability disclosures for possible benchmarking more transparent. This may help to improve the standard of overall ESG performance in the long run. The platform will also help overcome common challenges faced by companies and investors when dealing with ESG information. These challenges include lack of comparability, changing investors’ demand, as well as the evolving business landscape and regulations.

Features of the platform will include workflow management systems, report and visualisation modules and an ESG disclosure framework mapping to meet listed companies’ ESG reporting and data processing needs. The partnership will bring together relevant resources such as ESG datasets and domain expertise while adding new functionalities progressively to better serve companies, investors, research analysts and relevant stakeholders.

As an associate and the preferred tech partner of Ping An, OneConnect has teamed up with Ping An to deliver ESG solutions for companies outside of China. Ping An itself is the first company in China to participate in the United Nation’s Principles for Sustainable Insurance framework, and the first insurer in China to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes. Ping An has leveraged its «finance + technology» expertise to develop the Ping An AI-ESG Platform to track, measure and monitor its internal ESG performance. Using artificial intelligence, natural language processing technologies and other ESG tools including greenwashing detection and climate value-at-risk asset-repricing models, the Ping An AI-ESG Platform captures and computes the five-year ESG scores of all Chinese A-share companies for its benchmarking and investment-decision making.

Ms Jessica Tan, Co-CEO of Ping An Group, said, «As a champion of ESG, Ping An believes in ‘tech for social good’ where technologies can aptly enable every company to become a responsible corporate citizen. With the development of Ping An’s own artificial intelligence-driven ESG framework in China – we see the synergy in sharing and integrating our expertise in ESG into a platform that can be adopted by other companies, thereby bolstering the ESG culture across Asia Pacific.»

Ms Tan Bin Ru, CEO (SEA), OneConnect Financial Technology, shared, «With ESG taking centre-stage in the global scene, companies are increasingly subject to a set of non-financial reporting of ESG factors to meet investors’ demands and regulatory requirements. This is an opportune time and an esteemed privilege for OneConnect to join hands to develop the ESG platform with SGX. This is a remarkable moment for us to be able to tap on our expertise and work alongside SGX in creating and implementing a robust platform for SGX-listed companies to better their journey on ESG reporting and strengthen their sustainability risk management.»

Mr Michael Syn, Senior Managing Director and Head of Equities, SGX, said, «Investors globally are placing increasing importance on sustainability considerations, leading to significant growth in capital allocated to ESG strategies. As a result, both investors and issuers desire ESG data to be more transparent, standardised and accessible. The data and workflow platform will help SGX-listed companies report with more effective alignment to major disclosure standards. The focus is on a core set of indicators that are quantitative in nature and normalised for comparability. This complements issuers’ materiality-based reporting that are highly specific to each listed company’s business context. For investors, the benefit is more seamless integration of this core set of indicators into their investment strategies and capital allocation across portfolios, lowering the information friction they currently face.»

SGX, as a front-line market regulator, has played an integral part in driving disclosures through rulemaking and capacity building. Mandatory sustainability reporting was implemented in Singapore since 2016. This has been an area of constant progress as international standards continue to be refined. SGX has also been making a bigger push in sustainability with a S$20-million multi-pronged plan to expand its ESG-focused products, services and platforms, as well as to build capacity for the financial ecosystem, strengthen internal capabilities and increase CSR commitments.

Nelson led the identification and execution of strategic partnerships with automotive technology vendors, cultivated the company’s relationships with OEM integration partners, and served as a product liaison to strategic dealer group clients.

In his previous role at VinSolutions, Nelson led the strategic development and execution of the product roadmap as Senior Director of Product. He also served as Vice President of Operations prior to the company’s acquisition by Cox Automotive, overseeing the performance of the Implementation, Support, Training, and Account Management departments. Nelson significantly scaled these teams and defined standards and processes that allowed them to sustain client satisfaction during a period of aggressive growth and through the company’s subsequent acquisition. Before that, he held product training and field sales management roles for several F&I solution providers, leveraging his early career experience leading finance teams in dealerships.

Commenting on why he chose to join the company, Nelson stated, «DealerBuilt already has a fantastic reputation in the industry for being a true dealer advocate and partner. This is an amazing opportunity to build on that foundation and help the company take its installation and support services to the next level, while continuing to deliver innovative product enhancements and new offerings that our clients love. It comes down to listening and collaborating closely with clients – whether that’s to execute a successful install at their dealerships, resolve a challenge they’re having with their software, or refine a product enhancement – and always having the client’s success in mind. That’s how DealerBuilt will, in turn, continue to be successful and grow.»
