Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced the release of the new Machine Learning Toolkit in the latest Keysight Device Modeling Software Suite. This new solution reduces model development and extraction time from weeks to hours, enabling faster Process Design Kit (PDK) delivery and Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) applications. The semiconductor industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by advanced architectures such as gate-all-around (GAA) transistors, wide-bandgap materials such as GaN and SiC, and heterogeneous integration strategies including chiplets and 3D stacking. While these innovations drive performance, they also create complex modeling and parameter extraction challenges. Traditional workflows rely on physics-based compact models and manual parameter extraction, forcing engineers to adjust hundreds of interconnected parameters across multiple operating conditions, a process that can take weeks and often struggles to achieve optimal results. With increasingly tight schedules, faster, more predictive, and automated artificial intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML)-driven modeling solutions are now essential. Keysight’s new Machine Learning Toolkit, featuring an ML optimizer,

iBase-t, the leader in digital manufacturing and sustainment solutions for Aerospace & Defense (A&D), announced the general availability (GA) of Solumina AI, the only artificial intelligence platform purpose-built for regulated A&D manufacturing environments. Alongside the platform release, iBase-t also announced GA of the first four Solumina AI modules: Solumina ScanAI, Solumina Digital SME, Solumina Intelligence, and Solumina PulseAI.  In Aerospace & Defense, general-purpose or “horizontal” AI assistants designed for broad business workflows are not just insufficient — they can introduce real risk. Without A&D-specific process context, governed data access, and traceability, generic AI can produce risks through inaccurate outputs, quality escapes, and compliance exposure in highly regulated environments. While many ERP and PLM vendors have rushed to bolt general-purpose AI onto their systems, iBase-t has taken a fundamentally different approach. Solumina AI is a governed, A&D-specific vertical AI platform embedded directly within the Solumina Manufacturing and Sustainment Operations Platform — the A&D industry’s operational system of record.

ArcSite, a leading mobile-first drawing, estimating, and proposal platform for field service professionals, announced it has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance and ISO/IEC 27001 certification for its Information Security Management System (ISMS). These certifications reinforce ArcSite's commitment to enterprise-grade security, privacy, and data integrity, giving organizations the confidence to scale with ArcSite as a trusted partner. Peace of Mind for Organizations That Prioritize Data SecuritySOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 represent industry-recognized frameworks for information security and are particularly critical for organizations handling sensitive customer data, financial information, and proprietary business workflows.  For enterprise and mid-market buyers, these certifications validate that ArcSite has implemented strong internal controls around data security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, backed by rigorous third-party audits. "As ArcSite grows to serve enterprise customers and multi-location organizations, maintaining world-class security standards is non-negotiable," said Scott Weigel, VP of Operations at ArcSite. "These certifications reflect our commitment to

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our second renewal of ISO/IEC 27001 certification, reaffirming our commitment to protecting information assets through a robust, audited and continuously improving Information Security Management System (ISMS).  In an environment where cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, data volumes are accelerating, and regulatory and contractual expectations are intensifying, ISO 27001 remains a critical benchmark for security governance. However, while compliance is the baseline, resilience is the goal. For Cosmo Tech, ISO 27001 represents the framework that translates complex cyber pressures into a clear, proactive commitment to our customers’ long-term security. Beyond compliance: Demonstrating maturity and resilienceCompleting a second ISO 27001 renewal goes beyond achieving initial compliance. It demonstrates a sustained commitment to continuous improvement, consistency, and resilience over time, and confirms that security is not treated as a one-time compliance exercise, but as a fundamental and continuously evolving part of our operations, governance, and culture. “Renewing our

ENCY Software has become a Certified Solution Partner within the SOLIDWORKS Solution Partner Program. This status confirms that the ENCY CAD/CAM system is complementary and compatible with the SOLIDWORKS portfolio, and that its effectiveness has been validated by SOLIDWORKS customers. Why it matters for ENCY customersFor engineering teams, reliability at the CAD-to-manufacturing handoff is critical. It impacts lead time. It also affects manufacturing cost. The SOLIDWORKS “Certified” badge reflects alignment with SOLIDWORKS expectations for compatibility and integration. In practical terms, it supports a more predictable workflow for SOLIDWORKS-based teams — especially when models change and downstream processes must remain synchronized. Why it matters for SOLIDWORKS usersIf you design in SOLIDWORKS, the next bottleneck is often not CAD. It is manufacturing programming. ENCY is a single solution for CNC programming and robot programming. This is important for shops running mixed production, where machining and robotics are part of one process chain. ENCY is a CAM product built around a modern
