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

 

^{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.

About Boomi

Boomi, the data activation company for AI, powers the agentic enterprise by bringing data to life across the business. The Boomi Enterprise Platform is the active data foundation that delivers essential agentic infrastructure to drive agentic transformation. By unifying agent design and governance, API and MCP management, integration and automation, and data management into a single platform, Boomi enables organizations to harness the power of AI with secure, scalable connectivity.

RegASK Expands Enterprise Regulatory AI Ecosystem Through Microsoft Marketplace

 

Life sciences and consumer products companies can now discover and deploy RegASK through Microsoft Marketplace, simplifying access to regulatory decision intelligence and agentic AI workflows.


NEW YORK & SINGAPORE, Oct 8 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- RegASK today announced the availability of its AI-native regulatory platform in the Microsoft Marketplace, the unified online destination for customers to buy trusted cloud solutions, AI apps, and agents to meet their business needs. RegASK customers can now discover and deploy trusted solutions through Microsoft Marketplace, with smooth integration and streamlined management across Microsoft Azure and other Microsoft products.

For organizations already operating within the Microsoft ecosystem, Marketplace availability provides an established route to access RegASK through existing enterprise technology and procurement environments. Where eligible, customers can also apply purchases toward existing Microsoft Azure consumption commitments.

As regulatory AI moves from individual use cases toward enterprise-wide adoption, value increasingly depends on how AI connects with the systems, data, governance, and workflows organizations already rely on. RegASK is designed as the regulatory decision intelligence and action layer across that ecosystem, connecting external regulatory change with customer-specific context, analysis, decision support, and execution.

Powered by vertical AI purpose-built for regulatory operations, RegASK combines domain-specific models, specialized regulatory AI agents, and human expertise within a governed environment.

AM INTELLIGENCE ORDERS 20,000 NVIDIA RUBIN GPUS FOR INDIA, MALAYSIA

 

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- AM Intelligence (AMI), the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure platform set up by the promoters of Greenko, has announced two further firm and binding orders for 20,000 NVIDIA Rubin graphics processing units (GPUs) to be deployed as NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale systems.

Building on its first AI factory in Hyderabad, India, the expansion is designed to give cloud providers, enterprises and AI developers access to large-scale computing capacity closer to where they build and deploy AI.

These orders are in addition to AMI's inaugural commitment announced on Aug 25 for 9,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs at its first AI factory in Hyderabad. The follow-on capacity, totalling approximately 70 megawatts (MW), will be deployed in Malaysia and India, with delivery scheduled for the second quarter of 2027.

“Both facilities will be built to the same architecture standard as the Hyderabad AI Factory, integrating the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform with high-throughput RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) networking for fast, efficient data movement, alongside advanced storage systems.

“Each site is engineered for high rack power density and liquid cooled throughout, allowing the infrastructure to accommodate successive generations of AI silicon within the same physical footprint,” said AMI Chairman, Anil Chalamalasetty in a statement.

Taken together, the three orders bring AMI's committed frontier compute to approximately 29,000 Rubin GPUs and close to 100 MW of capacity.

AMI said it plans to bring an additional 300 MW of capacity to market over the next 15 months, involving capital expenditure of more than US$20 billion. (US$1 = RM4.08)

The company has developed a pipeline of approximately 400 MW of Compute-as-a-Service capacity across global locations, including India, the United States, Europe and Malaysia. The three orders placed to date represent the first committed tranche within that pipeline, while the balance is under development for delivery in subsequent phases in 2027 and early 2028.

The pipeline advances AMI's stated intention to bring one gigawatt (GW) of Compute-as-a-Service capacity to global AI workloads, within a broader programme of five GW of powered AI data centres.

Sihoo To Showcase Adaptive Ergonomic Office Chairs At ORGATEC 2026

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- Sihoo will exhibit its next-generation ergonomic office chairs, the Sihoo H300 Pro and Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2, at ORGATEC 2026 from Oct 27 to 30 at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany, highlighting its latest approach to adaptive support across changing work postures.a

In hybrid workplaces, employees shift between focused typing, device use and short breaks, while traditional chairs often rely on static support that struggles to accommodate these movements. As users change positions, they may lose consistent lumbar support, potentially contributing to lower back discomfort and muscle tension.

Against this backdrop, Sihoo in a statement said it is bringing its adaptive seating solutions to ORGATEC 2026 to connect with global partners, exchange ideas on healthier workplaces, and explore new business opportunities.

The Sihoo H300 Pro addresses the loss of lumbar contact during forward-leaning tasks. Its 2D four-way adjustable lumbar support works with DynaCore full-body adaptive support to maintain a fit across postures, while its 7D coordinated armrests and integrated footrest provide comfort from focused work to relaxation.

Another highlight from Sihoo is the Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2, the brand's first full-body adaptive ergonomic chair, which minimises gaps in head, back and lumbar support during posture shifts.

Powered by the DynaCore System with Four-Zone Linkage, it coordinates these areas and the armrests in real time. Its SyncroFlex System allows for smooth backrest gliding, while Self-Adaptive Dynamic Lumbar Support 2.0 maintains lumbar contact, and 8D bionic armrests provide flexible arm positioning.

Sihoo has 15 years of experience in ergonomic furniture and combines research and development with a 1,000-square-metre testing laboratory. Its products reach more than 122 countries and regions and over 10 million households worldwide.
