CHERY’S LEPAS TO UNVEIL CONCEPT CAR, DESIGN LANGUAGE

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 (Bernama) -- Chery Auto’s premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand LEPAS will hold the world premiere of its LEPAS Concept Car and unveil the Next-Generation Leopard Aesthetics design language at its first Global Elegant Lifestyle Week.

The event, themed “TOGETHER IN ELEGANCE”, runs from Oct 18 to 24 during the 2026 Chery International User Summit, bringing together the brand’s first vehicle owners worldwide, partners and industry media, according to a statement.

It comes as LEPAS’s NEVs reach their first owners in global markets this year. The company said the programme will centre on driving, technology, design and lifestyle.

According to LEPAS, the new design language explores sculpted lines and light, as well as future interactions between people and vehicles. User feedback from around the world continues to shape its design approach.

The LEPAS L6 EV will also set off on the brand’s first Global Journey of Elegant Driving, a route covering city streets, intercity highways and winding mountain roads. Media and user representatives will assess the car’s handling, comfort, range and intelligent technologies along the way.

Participants will be able to test drive the LEPAS L4, L6 and L8 models in real-world conditions. The test drives include demonstrations of Automated Parking Assist (APA), Remote Parking Assist (RPA) and Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP), with SIVP available only on the L8.

LEPAS aims to integrate such technology into everyday driving so that advanced features feel effortless to use, rather than drawing attention to the technology itself.

The event will also include a Global Elegance Promenade, where owners will share cultural stories and interactive experiences from their home cities. Participants will be named “Global Elegant Lifestyle Partners” of the brand.

LEPAS said further details of the event would be announced later.

TOSHIBA LAUNCHES FOUR EFUSE ICS FOR LOW-VOLTAGE POWER PROTECTION

Toshiba: TCKE5 Series of small-package eFuse ICs supporting 1.7V low-voltage operation.



KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba), a supplier of advanced semiconductor and storage solutions, has launched four electronic fuses (eFuse ICs) under its TCKE5 Series, integrating multiple functions to protect power supply lines.

The new products operate over an input voltage range of 1.7 volts (V) to 5.5V and are housed in the compact SOT-353F (UFV) package. The lineup comprises four models: “TCKE501UA”, “TCKE501UL”, “TCKE502UA” and “TCKE502UL.” Shipments began on Oct 12.

According to Toshiba in a statement, the TCKE5 Series is the first in its eFuse IC lineup to support 1.8V power lines, making it suitable for low-voltage applications, including Secure Digital (SD) memory cards.

As electronic devices become smaller, more functional, and less power-intensive, demand for low-voltage power supplies has increased. Protection against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions is also essential to improve the reliability of low-voltage power lines.

The series comes in a compact, low-profile package that reduces printed circuit board (PCB) mounting area, supporting space-saving, high-density designs for wearable and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Alongside the short-circuit protection offered by physical fuses, such as glass tube and chip current fuses, the TCKE5 Series features overcurrent protection that shuts off output when excessive current is detected.

The overcurrent protection function also includes a mask time to help prevent unnecessary shutdowns caused by transient peak currents, thus protecting downstream circuits and improving system safety and reliability.

The lineup includes auto-retry models, which automatically restore circuit operation, and latch-type models, which require an external signal to recover. Different slew-rate settings are also available to meet power sequencing requirements.

Toshiba said it would continue expanding its eFuse IC lineup to support a wider range of equipment.

Vantiva's First 50G PON Device Now Commercially Available

 

The compact, wall-mountable FXA701Z delivers multi-gigabit fiber for homes, businesses and enterprises


PARIS, Oct 13 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Press Release 

PARIS – October 13, 2026 – Vantiva (Euronext Paris: VANTI), a global technology leader in connected home solutions, today unveiled the FXA701Z, its flagship 50G PON optical network terminal (ONT). 50G PON ONTs are only beginning to emerge globally, and the FXA701Z is among the first commercially ready devices on the market, extending Vantiva’s proven broadband leadership into the next era of ultra-high-capacity fiber access.

Compliant with the ITU-T G.9804 50G PON standard, the FXA701Z supports fully symmetrical operation. A built-in XGS-PON port lets operators install it on current 10G networks today and move customers seamlessly to the 50G tier later on the same device, protecting existing fiber investments. Symmetrical multi-gigabit throughput powers demanding applications such as 8K streaming, immersive AR/VR, and distributed AI workloads, while also suiting mobile backhaul for base stations.

The FXA701Z runs an operator-grade software stack with full OMCI support, so operators can manage and diagnose it through the standard tools already used across their PON networks. Its compact format minimizes material use per unit, supports both tabletop and wall-mount placement, and uses top and bottom covers made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) ABS plastic to support service providers' environmental targets.

Vantiva Senior Director of Product Management Barry Weber said, "Homes and businesses now send far larger volumes of data upstream, through video calls, cloud backups and AI tools. The FXA701Z gives operators the upstream capacity to keep pace as traffic grows."

"Each generation of PON raises the bar for what operators can promise their customers, and our role is to have the right equipment ready before demand peaks," said Ashwani Saigal, Vantiva Chief Product & Engineering Officer. "The FXA701Z puts us in that position for 50G, and it opens a fiber roadmap we will keep building on with our operator partners."

Operators can visit Vantiva’s booth at Network X Hall B Stand G5 in Vienna, Austria, October 13-15 to learn more.

Boomi and Jade Global Partner to Bring Governed AI Agents to Manufacturing Operations


Partnership combines Boomi's active data foundation and Agent Control Plane with Jade Global's manufacturing expertise to help manufacturers move AI agents from pilot to production across plants, suppliers, and enterprise systems


TOKYO, Oct 13 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Boomi, the data activation company for AI, and Jade Global, a Boomi Certified Platinum Implementation and Managed Services Partner specializing in manufacturing transformation, today announced an expanded partnership to help manufacturers deploy AI agents in production operations with the data integrity, governance, and control those environments demand. Jade Global will deliver manufacturing-specific solutions built on the Boomi Enterprise Platform, bringing Boomi's active data foundation and Agent Control Plane to the plant floor and the supply chain.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261012072675/en/  

Manufacturers face a particular version of the enterprise AI challenge. Operational data is distributed across ERP, MES, PLM, quality, warehouse, and supplier EDI systems, much of it on legacy infrastructure. AI agents that act on that data without a trusted foundation or an audit trail introduce risk precisely where manufacturers can least afford it: production schedules, inventory positions, supplier commitments, and regulatory records. As a result, agent initiatives in manufacturing frequently stall between a successful pilot and production use.

"Manufacturers have some of the richest operational data in the enterprise and some of the strictest requirements for acting on it," said Dan McAllister, SVP of Global Alliances and Channels, Boomi. "The question is no longer whether agents can do useful work on a production line or in a supply chain. It is whether the business can see what an agent did, trust the data it acted on, and account for the outcome. That is what the Agent Control Plane and the active data foundation beneath it are designed to deliver, and Jade Global brings the manufacturing depth to put that into practice."

The partnership brings together complementary capabilities. Boomi provides the active data foundation, keeping master and operational data synchronized across the applications, APIs, and data sources that run a manufacturing business, along with the Agent Control Plane to build, run, control, test, and manage agents across their lifecycle, with policy enforcement through Boomi's AI and MCP gateways and full observability through the Agent Control Tower. Jade Global brings its Industry 4.0 Smart Manufacturing Framework, powered by Boomi, together with nearly a decade of manufacturing integration, data management, and B2B/EDI managed services experience delivered through its integration center of excellence. The company has worked with Boomi since 2017 and achieved Platinum Implementation Partner status in 2019.

"Japanese manufacturers set the global benchmark for quality and operational discipline, and they rightly expect the same rigor from AI," said Arun Menon, Chief Technology and Strategy Officer, Jade Global. "An agent that adjusts a production schedule or flags a supplier exception must be as traceable as any change made on the line. Many of the manufacturers we work with are also modernizing integration systems built over decades, and that modernization is exactly the foundation agents need. With Boomi, we help them do both: connect and govern their operational data, then put agents to work on it with every action recorded and accountable. We are committed to supporting manufacturers in Japan as they move agentic AI from pilot to production."

The partnership delivers the following outcomes for manufacturers building and operating AI agents:
  • Agents grounded in trusted operational data. Items, bills of material, suppliers, equipment, and quality records are continuously reconciled and synchronized, so agents act on current data rather than stale extracts and every record they touch is traceable to its source.
  • Governance on every agent action. Policy is enforced through Boomi's AI and MCP gateways, higher-risk actions such as modifying a purchase order or releasing a production hold can require human approval, and every decision is logged for audit.
  • Deployment where manufacturing requires it. Agents run locally, regionally, or in the cloud to meet plant latency, data residency, and sovereignty requirements under a single control plane.
  • Manufacturing-ready implementation. Jade Global's framework and methodology, adapted for agentic use cases, provide prebuilt patterns for supplier exception handling, maintenance follow-through, and demand-to-supply rebalancing, shortening the path from assessment to production.
For the more than 30,000 customers on the Boomi Enterprise Platform and the manufacturers Jade Global serves across discrete, process, and high-tech manufacturing, the partnership provides a path to run AI agents under the same governance, observability, and audit controls those organizations already rely on for mission-critical integrations. The expanded offering is available now through Jade Global.
