Hawk Ridge Systems launches a strategic partnership with StartProto, an AI-powered cloud manufacturing software provider, to help manufacturers connect engineering, planning and production in one enhanced digital workflow. As manufacturers continue to embrace digital transformation, this partnership expands Hawk Ridge Systems' design-to-manufacturing portfolio by giving customers access to an AI-enabled manufacturing platform. The cloud-based solution integrates quoting, bill of materials (BOM) management, scheduling and shop floor execution in a single ITAR-compliant environment. "StartProto's AI cloud platform gives our customers the real-time insights they need to make smarter decisions on the shop floor," said Dale Ford, CEO of Hawk Ridge Systems. "This tool gives customers the power of AI manufacturing today, so they can scale production with confidence as demand grows." Beyond real-time visibility, StartProto's AI platform analyzes production data to forecast risks, delays and bottlenecks before they happen, helping manufacturers make proactive decisions. The end-to-end workflow coverage also supports secure, ITAR-compliant manufacturing operations for highly

Keysight Technologies announced Keysight Multiphysics, a design and verification solution that addresses the physics interactions driving failure in modern electronic designs. The structural analysis application covering drop, shock, and vibration enables engineering teams to identify and fix problems earlier, before a prototype is built. Electronic products are growing in complexity faster than traditional engineering workflows can scale. As electrical, thermal, mechanical, and optical elements are compressed into tighter, more integrated designs, the physics interactions between them create failure risks that cannot be evaluated in isolation. Physics effects in one domain can produce unintended outcomes in another, and those interdependencies are rarely caught until the physical product is built, when the cost of redesign is highest and projects often miss deadlines and exceed budgets. Keysight Multiphysics integrates physics simulation into the electronic engineering workflow, completing in hours a process that traditionally takes weeks. The first release addresses structural analysis and includes compliance simulation for drop,

HP and Adobe are now delivering customers faster capture speeds, greater imaging control, and new frame-rate and resolution options. The update also expands integration with Adobe Substance 3D Sampler through Windows and Mac endpoints to support hybrid AI inference on NVIDIA Jetson AGX. It is available today for all HP Z Captis customers. Since the release of HP Z Captis with Adobe Substance 3D integration, industries from footwear and fashion to automotive and aviation have turned to the solution to support digital twin workflows at scale. Enterprises need accurate visual material data that can move from design and review into downstream content workflows, with tighter control over how assets are represented through industry standards such as the OpenPBR material model. For customers, this creates a more direct path from physical samples to reusable digital assets that support design review, 3D visualization, and downstream content creation. This update gives creative teams

Applied Intuition, Inc., a leader in physical AI, announced the launch of Dana, the first agentic platform for building, testing, deploying and operating physical AI systems across industries. Dana combines the power of agentic AI and rapid application development with nearly a decade of Applied Intuition’s tooling, infrastructure and engineering knowledge. The result is a unified system that accelerates the development of intelligent machines in the physical world. “We believe physical AI will become one of the defining technologies of this century,” said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. “Our ambition is to help bring intelligence to a billion machines, and Dana is the platform we built to make that possible.” Unlike general-purpose AI tools designed primarily for digital workflows, Dana is built for the complexities of machines operating in the physical world. Dana comes with all the platform capabilities needed to build and deploy safety-critical physical AI applications, including

Emerson, a global automation leader, announced that its Ovation™ Green supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software is supporting Adani Green Energy Limited’s 3.55 gigawatt-hour (GWh) battery energy storage system (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat, India — the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China. Developed by AGEL as part of its integrated renewable energy ecosystem, the BESS project is among the fastest executed globally. Adani Green Energy Limited is India’s largest renewable energy company with more than 20 gigawatts (GW) of operational renewable energy capacity. The company aims to achieve 50 GW by 2030 and plans to add more than 10 GWh of battery storage in financial year 2027, scaling its battery storage portfolio to 50 GWh over the next five years to strengthen grid resilience and accelerate renewable energy integration. The Ovation control and SCADA software — a small, yet critical part of the large-scale project—combines powerful control with expansive plant data in
