HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 17 October 2026 - Green SM and Elife, a global B2B super app enabler providing mobility and delivery solutions, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly develop integrated travel and green mobility solutions for international travelers.

The agreement marks another step in Green SM's global expansion strategy and underscores its commitment to building partnerships with reputable partners to deliver high-quality experiences to users worldwide.

Under the MOU, the two parties will actively work to integrate Green SM's mobility services into Elife's global network, enabling Elife's partners to offer Green SM services directly through their own platforms. This will allow users to conveniently book rides and access Green SM services through their preferred apps without switching between multiple platforms. The integration is planned for rollout across Southeast Asia, Europe and the US.

Through this partnership, Green SM will expand its access to Elife's global customer network, particularly international travelers visiting Vietnam. Elife's partner platforms collectively serve approximately 100 million monthly active users (MAU) worldwide. This presents an opportunity for Green SM to connect with a broader base of travelers and meet their demand for high-quality, reliable and seamless mobility experiences at their destinations.

In turn, partners across Elife's network will be able to add Green SM's electric mobility services to their offerings, enhancing the experience they deliver to users. Operating a fleet consisting entirely of VinFast electric vehicles, Green SM provides quiet, relaxing and zero-tailpipe-emission journeys. The comfortable interiors and smooth, quiet performance of electric vehicles help ensure a pleasant experience, even on longer trips.

Beyond service integration, Green SM and Elife will collaborate on promotional offers for international travelers and strengthen their communications efforts across online and offline channels. Through these initiatives, the two parties aim to increase brand awareness, bring their brands closer to customers and unlock further growth opportunities in international markets.

Ms. Tran Thi Thu Phuong, Director of Sales at GSM, said: "Our partnership with Elife marks another step in Green SM's global expansion strategy, creating opportunities to strengthen ties with reputable partners and bring our brand closer to a broader international customer base. Through Elife's global partner network, Green SM aims to expand its reach and make electric mobility more accessible and convenient, helping advance the adoption of green transportation in Vietnam and international markets."

Mr. Dan Deng, Chief Executive Officer of Elife, said: "Our mission is to help our partners deliver trusted mobility services wherever their users travel. Integrating Green SM's fully electric fleet into our global network will enable our partners to expand their range of high-quality green mobility options directly through their own platforms, while retaining their distinct brand identities. Through this collaboration, we aim to help elevate the travel experience for people around the world."

The partnership comes amid strong growth in the global electric taxi market. According to Mordor Intelligence, the market is projected to grow from USD 29.54 billion in 2025 to USD 110.56 billion by 2031, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.6%. Notably, the airport transfer and tourism segment is forecast to grow even faster, with a CAGR of 27.6% over the same period.

Founded in Vietnam in 2023, Green SM has developed a green mobility ecosystem across Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, Kazakhstan, Denmark, the Netherlands and the US. As part of its international expansion, Green SM has completed approximately 850 million rides, covering nearly 6 billion kilometers and helping reduce more than 800,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, equivalent to the amount of carbon absorbed by approximately 36 million trees.

The partnership between Green SM and Elife further strengthens the connection between international travel platforms and green mobility solutions, delivering more convenient and reliable travel experiences for people worldwide. The agreement also supports the broader adoption of electric mobility solutions, contributing to a greener and smarter future for the tourism and transportation sectors.

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 16 October 2026 - Access to nutritious food remains a critical part of food security.

In Thailand, around one in 10 children under five lives in severe child food poverty, while national data show that 13% of children under five are stunted and 7% are underweight, underscoring that food security is not only about having enough food, but also about ensuring consistent access to safe and nutritious diets.

Against this backdrop, Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CPF), in partnership with the Charoen Pokphand for Rural Lives' Development Foundation, is expanding the "Eggs for Next Gen" program, a long-running school nutrition initiative, to 1,030 schools across Thailand, with 12 new schools joining this year. The expansion builds on nearly four decades of efforts to help children gain regular access to fresh eggs as a source of quality protein, while enabling schools to establish sustainable food production.

Launched in 1989, the program goes beyond providing food for school lunches. Participating schools receive support including poultry houses, equipment, laying hens and feed, together with technical knowledge in animal health, farm management, sanitation, production planning and egg management. Students and teachers gain practical agricultural skills, while schools can use eggs for meals and manage surplus production to generate revolving income that helps sustain future production cycles.

The initiative had reached 1,030 schools across 74 provinces, benefiting more than 229,502 students, 17,447 academic staff and2,690 communities. More than523 persons with disabilitieshave also participated in the programme, which targets approximately28 million eggs per production cycle.

Eggs for Next Gen reflects CPF's broader view that food security depends not only on producing enough food, but on making nutritious food consistently available, accessible and sustainable over time. By helping schools produce fresh eggs locally, the programme brings quality protein closer to children, supports healthier diets, and builds practical knowledge and capabilities that allow schools to maintain food production beyond a single cycle. In this way, the initiative moves beyond short-term food support toward stronger food self-reliance at the school and community level.

As a global integrated agro-industrial and food company with operations and investments across 17 countries and products distributed in more than 50 countries, CPF advances its "Kitchen of the World" vision by placing food security at the heart of its sustainability strategy. Its global presence helps expand access to food for consumers worldwide, while its approach goes beyond producing sufficient food to strengthen quality and food safety, nutrition, responsible production and sustainable supply chains. Together, these efforts support a more resilient and sustainable food system capable of serving people over the long term.

Kobboon Srichai, Head of Corporate Affairs and Investor Relations at CPF, said:

"For CPF, food security means ensuring that people can access food that is safe, traceable and affordable today and in the future. To achieve this, we need to strengthen the entire food system, from production to access. By combining technology and automation, strong partnerships, and advances in biotechnology and nutrition, we can improve both the quality and resilience of the food system. Eggs for Next Gen demonstrates how these capabilities can be translated into practical impact, improving children's access to quality nutrition while helping schools and communities build greater food self-reliance over the long term."

With the program now expanding to 1,030 schools, CPF continues to translate its food expertise into practical action. Supporting healthier children, stronger communities and a more resilient and sustainable food system.

WUHU, China, Oct. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Charging a vehicle during a coffee break is becoming possible. From October 19 to 23, the 2026 Chery International User Summit in Wuhu, Anhui, will showcase Chery Auto's smart energy center, integrating solar power, energy storage and charging.

More than 2,000 guests and users from around the world will see how solar-generated electricity moves through the energy system and how AI-powered dispatch supports efficient, low-emission mobility.

China's First Scaled AC V2G Demonstration Station

The center is China's first AC Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) demonstration station deployed at scale. Its solar-storage-charging system forms a local microgrid, supports megawatt-level ultra-fast charging and powers a renewable-energy rest area. Visitors can experience convenient charging during a coffee break.

Bidirectional V2G technology also turns electric vehicles into mobile energy storage units. Vehicles can charge at lower off-peak tariffs and return power to the grid during peak demand. Where supported, they can supply homes and communities during outages. This two-way flow helps manage energy costs, balance grid loads and improve renewable electricity utilization.

Integrated Technologies for Multiple Energy Scenarios

Chery Auto's Volt-dragon Charger technology shortens charging times, while the station's island mode maintains charging during grid disruptions. Research into Superconducting Charging targets more seamless, on-demand power delivery.

For households, the Energy Cube storage system combines solar generation, batteries and bidirectional charging to increase the use of self-generated electricity and reduce energy costs. Chery Auto also offers long-cycle-life Rhino batteries and is researching solid-state batteries. Laboratory samples have demonstrated high stress tolerance, supporting further exploration of safety in automotive and residential applications.

A Replicable Smart-Energy Model at a Spanish Heavy-Duty Truck Park

At an electric heavy-duty truck park in Spain, Chery Auto has implemented a microgrid integrating solar power, energy storage and high-power charging. This overseas deployment is expected to provide a replicable smart-energy model for freight operations, showing how integrated renewable energy systems can meet local industrial needs while offering potential economic and environmental benefits.

Through solutions covering energy generation, storage, distribution and consumption, Chery Auto aims to make new energy vehicles active participants in smart grids, bringing practical green-energy solutions to users and supporting more efficient energy use across industries worldwide.

BEIJING, Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Breaking through is a phrase that resonates with many Chinese people nowadays. Facing current challenges, it connects them to an epic military expedition that took place almost a century ago.

"It is an odyssey unequalled in modern times." So wrote American journalist Edgar Snow 90 years ago, after meeting Mao Zedong and others survivors of the Long March in China's northwest.

In October 1934, facing serious military defeat, 86,000 soldiers of the Central Red Army embarked on a journey that forever changed China. After fighting hundreds of bloody battles, crossing roaring rivers, climbing over snow-capped mountains and trekking across deadly swamp-covered grasslands, in October 1935 they arrived in northern Shaanxi. But only some 8,000 of them had survived.

Breaking Through

As Snow put it, "However one may feel about the Reds and what they represent politically, it is impossible to deny recognition of their Long March as one of the great exploits of military history. Hannibal's march over the Alps looked like a holiday excursion beside it."

In October 1936, with the arrival of the last of its forces in the northwest, the Red Army achieved the convergence of its three main columns.

This October witnesses the 90th anniversary of the end of the Long March.

But was that the end of the story? This is a key question raised in the new CGTN Documentary Breaking Through. Part travelogue, part history, this series retraces the steps of those intrepid pioneers, reflecting not just on how and why the original Long March happened, but also on the impact it continues to have on the landscape of today's China. And the conclusion it comes to is a thought-provoking one: the Long March's most enduring legacy is perhaps not the monuments that dot the route taken by the original Marchers, but a whole range of endeavors taking place today with the potential to reshape not just China, but the entire world.

For, as the series makes clear, wherever you look across this vast country, you will find people engaged in activities that involve just the same sort of spirit of sacrifice and endurance that was exhibited by the original Long Marchers. Whether it's the ongoing progress of China's commercial space industry or the latest developments in China's homegrown EV-battery industry, the spirit of the Long March is plain to see. What's more, in many cases the imperatives behind such innovations are similar to those that motivated the original Marchers: the burning need to escape encirclement and break new ground.

This was something the men and women who arrived in Shaanxi all those years ago, were very much aware of. They knew they'd survived to fight another day in a struggle that was all about the future.

For them, their arrival in Shaanxi was not the end; it was a new beginning. A surging tide that would change history had risen in far-off Jiangxi and was now converging on a point of temporary rest. But what it left there wasn't a stagnant pool, but rather a reservoir of clear, pure water that continues to nourish and inspire.

Medical device manufacturer eliminates paper-based Device History Records, cutting documentation time from two weeks to real time while strengthening audit readiness

Cartago, Costa Rica, Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biomerics, a leading contract manufacturer of medical devices, has completed an extensive validation process and gone live with Eyelit Technologies' Manufacturing Execution System (Eyelit MES), including full electronic Device History Record (eDHR) functionality.

The go-live achieves the original goals of the project and marks a significant step toward fully compliant, paperless production at Biomerics' Costa Rica operations.

Prior to implementation, Biomerics relied on paper-based DHRs that could run 100 to 500 pages per record and take up to two weeks to compile, tying up resources that could otherwise support the production floor. With Eyelit MES now live, that manual compilation burden is gone, freeing staff to focus on production while reducing the risk of documentation errors.

Compliance is now built into the manufacturing process itself rather than handled as a separate post-production step, and an immutable blockchain record of production data, backed by compliant electronic signatures, reinforces conformance with ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11 and 21 CFR Part 820/QMSR. Validation is managed within the same system used for production, giving Biomerics a single auditable record rather than a parallel paper trail, and staff time once spent on documentation and post-production verification is now available for continuous improvement.

The Biomerics go-live reflects Eyelit's broader Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) approach, in which MES serves as the foundation for further expansion into planning, scheduling, and execution improvements powered by Agent EyeQ, giving manufacturers a single platform to grow into as operations mature.

About Eyelit Technologies

Eyelit Technologies is a leading provider of integrated software solutions that optimize factory and multi-factory productivity across industries such as semiconductor, automotive, medical device, electronics, and aerospace & defense. Its AI-powered suite of planning, scheduling, and execution solutions enables businesses to improve production processes, enhance asset utilization, and streamline scheduling.

These tailored solutions improve outcomes by addressing critical elements such as orders, quality, assets, materials, labor, and suppliers. To learn more, visit: www.eyelit.com

Platform ini menghadirkan AI percakapan dan pencocokan cerdas untuk operasional tenaga kerja lini depan

SINGAPURA, Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) ("YYForce" atau "Perusahaan"), penyedia solusi tenaga kerja dan layanan pengelolaan fasilitas terpadu berbasis teknologi, hari ini mengumumkan peluncuran komersial Yolara AI, platform kecerdasan tenaga kerja berteknologi AI yang menggabungkan pencocokan algoritmik, alur kerja penempatan tenaga kerja otomatis, pencatatan kehadiran digital, dan analisis operasional untuk perusahaan yang mengandalkan tenaga kerja lini depan.

Platform utama ini tersedia di Singapura melalui antarmuka web dan seluler. YYForce memperkenalkan agen suara AI percakapan melalui penerapan bertahap pada sejumlah klien perusahaan terpilih. Langkah ini memperluas kemampuan platform dengan menghadirkan fitur permintaan tenaga kerja menggunakan bahasa alami serta inisiasi alur kerja yang dibantu AI.

Yolara AI diperkenalkan melalui jaringan operasional regional YYForce yang sudah ada. Jaringan ini mencakup lebih dari 100.000 tenaga kerja lini depan terverifikasi dan lebih dari 500 lokasi mitra perusahaan. Angka-angka tersebut menggambarkan jaringan Perusahaan yang sudah ada dan bukan menunjukkan jumlah pengguna atau lokasi Yolara AI yang aktif saat peluncuran.

Orkestrasi Tenaga Kerja Berteknologi AI

Yolara AI dirancang untuk membantu pelaku usaha mengoordinasikan kebutuhan tenaga kerja yang fleksibel di sektor perhotelan, makanan dan minuman, ritel, logistik, acara, serta pengelolaan fasilitas. Alur kerja orkestrasi tenaga kerjanya menghubungkan kebutuhan perusahaan dengan keterampilan dan ketersediaan tenaga kerja. Proses ini memanfaatkan pencocokan yang dibantu AI untuk mendukung keputusan penempatan tenaga kerja serta perangkat digital untuk memantau pelaksanaan shift kerja.

Dengan menyatukan berbagai aktivitas tersebut ke dalam satu platform, YYForce ingin mengurangi pekerjaan administratif yang berulang dan meningkatkan koordinasi antara pelaku usaha dan tenaga kerja. Hasil penempatan tenaga kerja yang sebenarnya bergantung pada ketersediaan tenaga kerja, persyaratan kualifikasi, dan kondisi operasional.

Kemampuan Utama yang Tersedia Saat Peluncuran

Pencocokan multifaktor berteknologi AI: Mengevaluasi kesesuaian tenaga kerja berdasarkan keterampilan, ketersediaan, lokasi, kredensial, dan data shift kerja sebelumnya untuk mendukung pencocokan kandidat dengan kebutuhan perusahaan.

Orientasi tenaga kerja berbasis percakapan: Menggunakan antarmuka percakapan untuk mendukung pengumpulan informasi tenaga kerja, konfirmasi ketersediaan, dan penyampaian persyaratan shift kerja.

Alur kerja penjadwalan otomatis: Menghubungkan kebutuhan tenaga kerja dengan pemesanan shift sesuai kriteria sehingga membantu pelaku usaha mengoordinasikan pemenuhan kebutuhan tenaga kerja dan memudahkan tenaga kerja mengakses peluang kerja yang sesuai.

Pencatatan dan pelacakan kehadiran digital: Menggunakan fitur check-in dan check-out berbasis pembatasan wilayah (geofencing) untuk mencatat data kehadiran shift kerja untuk tujuan pemantauan dan rekonsiliasi.

Graf Talenta dan dasbor kecerdasan tenaga kerja: Menyusun profil pekerja, kualifikasi, dan riwayat shift kerja ke dalam basis informasi talenta yang dapat ditelusuri. Dasbor ini menampilkan data pemenuhan kebutuhan tenaga kerja, kehadiran, dan metrik biaya tenaga kerja.

Penerapan Bertahap Agen Suara AI

YYForce menerapkan agen suara percakapan Yolara AI secara bertahap pada sejumlah klien perusahaan terpilih di Singapura. Agen ini dirancang untuk menggunakan pemrosesan bahasa alami (NLP), pengenalan maksud, dan ekstraksi informasi guna mengubah kebutuhan tenaga kerja yang disampaikan secara lisan menjadi permintaan digital terstruktur.

Sebagai contoh, seorang manajer dapat meminta: "Saya butuh lima petugas layanan jamuan makan besok pukul 18.00 hingga 23.00 di Marina Bay." Agen ini dirancang untuk mengekstraksi jumlah tenaga kerja, posisi, lokasi, dan waktu shift kerja, meminta klarifikasi jika ada informasi yang belum lengkap, serta menyiapkan permintaan untuk alur kerja pencocokan pada platform.

Penerapan bertahap ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kemudahan penggunaan dan kinerja operasional sebelum peluncuran secara lebih luas. Oleh karena itu, selama periode awal peluncuran, ketersediaan fitur agen suara akan berbeda dari ketersediaan platform utama.

Menghubungkan AI dengan Operasional Tenaga Kerja di Dunia Nyata

Yolara AI mendukung strategi YYForce dalam menggabungkan operasional tenaga kerja dengan AI dan otomatisasi alur kerja digital yang diterapkan. Hubungan yang sudah terjalin antara YYForce dengan tenaga kerja dan perusahaan menjadi landasan untuk memperkenalkan platform ini serta mengumpulkan masukan terkait operasional. Hubungan tersebut juga membantu YYForce mengidentifikasi peluang pengembangan model AI di masa mendatang.

"Sejak lama, pengelolaan tenaga kerja lini depan menghadapi hambatan akibat proses manual, komunikasi antarshift yang tidak terkoordinasi, serta siklus pemenuhan kebutuhan tenaga kerja yang lambat. Melalui Yolara AI, kami memanfaatkan kecerdasan buatan terapan untuk memberikan manfaat operasional secara langsung. Teknologi ini memungkinkan permintaan tenaga kerja yang disampaikan secara lisan oleh manajer dipenuhi melalui pengisian shift kerja hanya dalam hitungan menit. Peluncuran ini menandai tonggak awal yang penting dalam strategi YYForce untuk membangun ekosistem tenaga kerja yang terpadu dan cerdas di seluruh kawasan," ujar Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer YYForce.

Peta Jalan Pengembangan AI dan Ekspansi Regional

YYForce berencana mengevaluasi peluang ekspansi ke pasar-pasar lain di Asia Tenggara berdasarkan permintaan pelanggan, kesiapan operasional, dan persyaratan setempat. Rencana peningkatan kemampuan AI mencakup perkiraan permintaan berbasis pembelajaran mesin, analisis prediktif tenaga kerja, serta alur kerja berbasis agen AI yang menghubungkan permintaan melalui percakapan dengan sistem perusahaan. Kemampuan tersebut merupakan bagian dari peta jalan pengembangan dan terpisah dari fungsi utama yang tersedia saat peluncuran.

Tentang Yolara AI

Yolara AI merupakan platform kecerdasan tenaga kerja berteknologi AI milik YYForce untuk operasional tenaga kerja lini depan. Fitur utamanya menggabungkan pencocokan multifaktor, orientasi tenaga kerja berbasis percakapan, alur kerja penjadwalan otomatis, pencatatan kehadiran digital, informasi Graf Talenta, dan analisis operasional. Agen suara AI percakapan untuk permintaan tenaga kerja menggunakan bahasa alami diperkenalkan melalui penerapan bertahap pada sejumlah klien perusahaan.

(Nasdaq: YFOR) adalah penyedia layanan pengelolaan tenaga kerja dan pengelolaan fasilitas terpadu (IFM) yang didukung teknologi AI, berkantor pusat di Singapura serta beroperasi di Asia dan wilayah lainnya.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Octave Intelligence plc (Nasdaq: OCTV; Nasdaq Stockholm: OCTV SDB), a global leader in software for the world's most mission-critical facilities and infrastructure, today announced that it is the only company named a Leader in both the ARC Advisory Group's MarketMap for Enterprise Asset Management and the MarketMap for Digital Worker Technologies for Manufacturing.

ARC also classified Octave as a Transformation Pioneer in Enterprise Asset Management (EAM).

Recognition in both MarketMaps reflects a single strength: Octave connects information about an asset to the frontline workers who operate and maintain it. ARC Advisory Group, an industrial technology research and advisory firm, has recognized Octave's technology for more than 12 years.

"The best-run industrial operations make every decision with the full picture: how an asset was engineered, how it has performed, what condition it is in right now and who is working on it," said Jay Allardyce, Chief Product Officer at Octave. "Octave Attune EAM puts that picture at the center of asset management, and Octave Tempo carries it to the frontline worker. Kimberly-Clark, for example, runs asset management and quality processes on Octave and has consolidated more than 700 systems into a single platform."

"Octave is well-positioned in the EAM market because it combines deep industrial expertise with a broader view of the asset lifecycle. Its ability to connect enterprise asset management with engineering, operational and risk intelligence gives asset-intensive organizations an opportunity to improve reliability, productivity and decision-making across the Design, Build, Operate and Protect lifecycle. That breadth is also reflected in ARC's Digital Worker Technologies for Manufacturing MarketMap, where Octave is positioned as a Leader, demonstrating the company's ability to extend intelligence beyond asset management to the frontline workforce and help industrial organizations connect people, processes and information at the point of work," said Inderpreet Shoker, director of research, ARC Advisory Group.

The MarketMap for Enterprise Asset Management report recognized Octave Attune EAM for its scalability, predictive analytics and integration with complex industrial systems. Octave's enterprise asset management software manages 50 million assets and an estimated 500 million work orders annually. In classifying Octave as a Transformation Pioneer, ARC pointed to Octave's combined portfolio of EAM, asset performance management, geospatial and digital twin software.

In its Digital Worker Technologies for Manufacturing MarketMap, ARC recognized Octave Tempo Operating Procedures for connecting digital twin and industrial data platforms and turning that data into practical tools for frontline workers. Octave builds its digital worker tools for mission-critical operations, and ARC found them "best suited for large, complex and regulated environments where deep contextualization of engineering and operational data is critical."
