Treon Flow Offers Seamless Continuation for Amazon Monitron while Optimizing Predictive Maintenance for Large Asset Fleets

DALLAS, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Treon Inc, a leader in AI-native Smart Industry solutions, today announced a seamless continuation path for Amazon Monitron users, helping organizations protect their existing condition monitoring investments while advancing to the next generation of AI-driven predictive maintenance.

Amazon Monitron migration to Treon Flow

Built on core Amazon Monitron technologies adopted in 2025, Treon Flow provides an easy migration path, discounted subscriptions, and enhanced predictive maintenance capabilities while preserving the maintenance experience, processes, and ways of working that Amazon Monitron users already know and trust.

As industrial companies increasingly seek to reduce downtime, improve asset reliability, and operate larger fleets more efficiently, Treon Flow delivers a powerful AI-driven predictive maintenance solution optimized for material handling and balance-of-plant assets. At the same time, it retains the simplicity and ease of use that helped make Amazon Monitron one of the industry’s most widely deployed condition monitoring platforms for material handling environments.

“Amazon Monitron helped many organizations take their first steps toward scalable predictive maintenance,” said Tom Nordman, SVP Marketing and Sales at Treon. “We want those customers to continue building on that success. That’s why we are offering an easy migration path and discounted Treon Flow subscriptions, minimizing both cost and interruption. Our goal is to provide a modern, agile, and continuously evolving home for maintenance operations for years to come.”

Treon Flow and the Amazon Monitron Continuation Path will be showcased at PACK EXPO International in October 18-21, 2026, at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. Visitors will be able to see Treon Flow in action and learn about the seamless migration path to AI-driven predictive maintenance. Treon’s booth is S-3196.

Amazon Monitron vs. Treon Flow

Amazon Monitron was launched in 2020 to detect abnormal behavior in industrial machinery and enable predictive maintenance. The platform helped Amazon reduce unplanned downtime at its fulfilment centers by nearly 70%. Within its first 18 months of operation, Amazon Monitron helped fulfilment centers avoid approximately 7,300 confirmed equipment issues across 88 sites worldwide, contributing to more timely customer deliveries.

Since adopting the core Amazon Monitron technologies, Treon has developed Treon Flow into a comprehensive AI-driven predictive maintenance solution purpose-built for large asset fleets, including conveyor systems and balance-of-plant.

Treon Flow expands the Amazon Monitron with more accurate fault detection, enhanced AI analytics, visual site-wide asset health visibility, improved workflow management, more flexible reporting, and modernized usability. The result is a solution that not only preserves the simplicity that users value but also helps maintenance teams further reduce unplanned downtime, improve efficiency, and gain greater operational insight across their facilities.

Bry-Air Sets a New Global Pathway for Air to Water Generation

NEW DELHI, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In January 2026, the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH) described the world as entering an era of ‘Global Water Bankruptcy,’ with nearly three-quarters of the global population living in water-insecure or critically water-insecure regions. UNICEF estimates that up to 700 million people could be displaced by intense water scarcity by 2030, with arid and semi-arid regions among the most vulnerable.

Bry-Air Sets a New Global Pathway for Air to Water Generation

Against this backdrop, Bry-Air has introduced its Air Water Generator (AWG) range, applying more than six decades of adsorption and moisture-control expertise to atmospheric water generation. The AWG extracts moisture from ambient air and converts it into useful water, providing a decentralised source without dependence on pipelines, borewells or water tankers. Engineered for diverse climatic conditions, the AWG performs reliably in low-humidity conditions, including arid and semi-arid regions, unlike any other product.

Over the last two decades, adsorption technology has yielded 28 new families of technology and 96 granted patents. The AWG itself is patent-protected technology, with its first patent filed in 2022. Since then, the product has advanced, with numerous units operating since 2022 in the 55 litres/day class and the 1,200 litres/day class within the mid-range category. Extensive experience in engineering packages for moisture adsorption, together with Low Dew Point battery applications delivering -80°C dew point air, comes together to produce nearly four engineered desiccant packages every day. This expertise further converges in the unit currently in production for AWG of 200 litres/hour, which, being modular, can be stacked to deliver up to 1,600 litres/hour per system, equivalent to 14 million litres a year.

Water, At Every Scale

  • Commercial Units: 55–200 litres/day — ideal for offices, remote sites and temporary camps
  • Semi-Industrial Units: 1,000–2,000 litres/day — ideal for manufacturing, hospitality, defence and urban infrastructure
  • Industrial Scale Units: 200–1,600 litres/hour, scaling to 14 million litres/year per system — ideal for data centres, island communities, remote industrial sites and high-value farming

The AWG range is designed for energy-efficient water generation, delivered by advanced rotors built on Bry-Air’s adsorption technology. These durable rotors are built to last and engineered for continuous operation with minimal supervision. As part of its CSR initiatives, Bry-Air has already installed several AWG units in Alwar, Rajasthan, bringing locally generated water to communities in a water-stressed region.

“For more than six decades, Bry-Air has engineered technologies to control and manage moisture in air. With the AWG, we are applying that same depth of adsorption expertise in a new direction—extracting moisture from the atmosphere and converting it into a reliable source of water,” said Deepak Pahwa, Chairman, Pahwa Group and Managing Director of Bry-Air (Asia). “Our installations in Alwar and NCR demonstrate how this technology can be deployed in the field, particularly in regions where access to conventional water sources is challenging. We see atmospheric water generation as an important part of decentralised water infrastructure for the future.”

About Bry-Air:

Bry-Air (Asia) Pvt. Ltd., part of the Pahwa Group, is a global provider of environmental control solutions, specialising in dehumidification and drying, gas-phase filtration, and, with the AWG, atmospheric water generation. Founded in 1964, the company holds 96 granted patents, has introduced 28 new technologies, and operates 13 manufacturing facilities serving customers in more than 80 countries, supported by a workforce of over 1800 employees and has presence on all continents.

SANY Ships Its First Autonomous Mining Trucks to South America

First Latin American deployment combines autonomous electric trucks with intelligent dispatching and lifecycle services

CHANGSHA, China, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SANY Group on August 12 shipped its first batch of SKT110Ei pure-electric autonomous mining trucks to South America, the company’s first autonomous mining truck project in the region. The project includes an autonomous truck fleet, an intelligent dispatching system and lifecycle operations and maintenance services. It is also SANY’s first deployment of its autonomous mining solution in Latin America, extending the company’s autonomous mining capabilities into a new international market.

A fleet of autonomous mining trucks departed from SANY’s Shenyang Heavy Equipment Industrial Park

Currently, the global mining industry faces challenges including complex operating conditions, haulage safety risks, shortages of skilled operators and rising labor costs. SANY’s integrated autonomous driving solution is designed to address these challenges by improving safety, reducing operating costs and increasing efficiency. Tailored to the customer’s operations in South America, the solution integrates autonomous trucks, roadside infrastructure and cloud-based dispatching with localized operations and maintenance services.

The SKT110Ei pure-electric autonomous mining trucks are designed for high reliability and availability with low energy consumption. Equipped with SANY’s fully in-house-developed autonomous driving system, the trucks are designed to lower operating costs and improve productivity while reducing the need for manual operation.

Blueprint Finance Announces Strategic Funding Round to Scale Concrete’s Institutional DeFi Infrastructure

Polychain Capital leads the round, with participation from Bullish, Keyrock, BitGo, FalconX, G-20, Flowdesk, JPEG Trading, and Sentient Capital.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blueprint Finance, the core developer of Concrete, today announced the completion of a strategic funding round led by Polychain Capital, with participation from Bullish, Keyrock, BitGo, FalconX, G-20, Flowdesk, JPEG Trading, Sentient Capital, Andes, and 2Square.

Blueprint Finance Logo

The strategic round brings together a group of investors spanning venture capital, institutional trading, custody, liquidity provision, and digital asset infrastructure. The financing will support Blueprint Finance as it continues to scale Concrete, its full-stack vault infrastructure that is designed to enable institutions, protocols, and asset managers to launch, manage, and allocate capital through sophisticated on-chain strategies.

Concrete continues to design and build infrastructure for a new phase of decentralized finance — one in which vaults increasingly function as programmable on-chain capital allocators. Rather than requiring allocators to manage execution, accounting, risk controls, rebalancing, and integrations across fragmented protocols independently, Concrete provides the infrastructure to bring these functions together within a unified vault system.

The company has also continued to expand its work with protocols, asset issuers, networks, and institutional allocators to build vaults that can support on-chain yield products and serve as core liquidity infrastructure.

Beyond scaling its vault infrastructure, Blueprint Finance has continued to expand the Concrete ecosystem with new on-chain financial primitives, including AssetCX and concUSD. These products represent the next evolution of Concrete: moving to build new assets, markets, and financial products on top of its institutional-grade foundation.

“DeFi is moving beyond the era where capital allocation was defined by chasing the highest advertised yield,” said Nic Roberts-Huntley, CEO and co-founder of Blueprint Finance. “The next phase is about infrastructure: giving professional allocators the controls, transparency, automation, and risk management they expect while preserving everything that makes on-chain markets powerful. This strategic round brings together firms that understand those markets from every angle, and we’re excited to have them alongside us as we scale Concrete into the infrastructure layer for on-chain asset management.”

The round reflects growing institutional interest in vault infrastructure as digital asset markets mature. Institutional allocators increasingly require more than access to on-chain yield: they need auditable accounting, defined operational permissions, scalable execution, transparent risk controls, and infrastructure capable of operating through rapidly changing market conditions.

“Who participated in this round is as important to us as the capital itself,” added Roberts-Huntley. “These are firms that operate at the center of digital asset markets. Bringing that expertise into the Concrete ecosystem gives us strategic partners across liquidity, execution, custody, and distribution as we build infrastructure designed for the next generation of on-chain capital.”

About Blueprint Finance

Blueprint Finance builds infrastructure for institutional on-chain finance and is the core developer of Concrete.

Concrete is a full-stack vault infrastructure platform designed to power the next generation of on-chain asset management. Its modular architecture enables institutions, protocols, asset issuers, and allocators to build and operate vaults with automated execution, accounting, risk controls, and quantitative strategy tooling.

By combining DeFi-native composability with institutional-grade operational infrastructure, Concrete is building the foundation for scalable, transparent, and programmable capital markets on-chain.

DrFirst Receives Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 North America Enabling Technology Leadership Recognition for Advancing AI-Enhanced Medication Orchestration

DrFirst is honored for redefining medication management with its scalable platform that embeds intelligence directly in prescribing, making it more efficient for providers, pharmacies, and patients.

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As healthcare organizations continue to navigate fragmented medication workflows, rising administrative complexity, and growing demands for faster patient access, DrFirst is transforming how prescriptions move from creation to fulfillment. The company is honored for its AI-enhanced medication orchestration platform with Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 North America Enabling Technology Leadership Recognition in Intelligent Medication Management, citing a new model of prescribing architecture that unites clinical insight, operational efficiency, and patient-centered care.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. DrFirst excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with evolving healthcare demands while executing innovations that deliver measurable improvements across clinical workflows. “DrFirst has advanced beyond its traditional role as a workflow enabler to emerge as a leader in AI-enhanced medication orchestration, fundamentally redefining how prescription orders are created and executed across the care continuum,” said Sagar Mukhekar, Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan.

Guided by a long-term growth strategy focused on digital innovation, clinical intelligence, and stakeholder collaboration, DrFirst has evolved from a prescription workflow enabler into a comprehensive medication orchestration platform. By bringing real-time clinical, operational, and business context directly within prescribing workflows, the company helps providers make better-informed decisions while reducing administrative burden, speeding therapy initiation, and improving patient access to medications. A defining example is the concept of the “fully optimized prescription,” which arrives at the pharmacy ready to fill, with potential roadblocks resolved.

Innovation remains central to DrFirst’s approach. The company’s platform delivers actionable decision support throughout the prescribing process, helping providers resolve barriers before a prescription reaches the pharmacy. By addressing challenges such as prior authorization, coverage requirements, and pharmacy-specific considerations, fewer surprises happen downstream and patients start therapy sooner.

“Our investment in AI and agentic automation means we can surface the options available for each specific patient, resolve coverage and pharmacy roadblocks before the prescription is sent, and give the care team a path forward rather than another alert,” said Laizer Kornwasser, CEO of DrFirst. “This recognition from Frost & Sullivan affirms that intelligence belongs in the workflow, not alongside it.”

DrFirst’s commitment to customer experience further positions it as a leader in medication management. By connecting providers, pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and patients through a unified platform, the company simplifies complex workflows and improves coordination across the healthcare continuum. Its prescription engagement solution also helps strengthen provider-patient relationships, delivering personalized medication information that improves adherence and health outcomes.

Frost & Sullivan commends DrFirst for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. Its sustained investment in AI, extensive industry experience, and deep stakeholder relationships are shaping the future of medication management. Through its scalable platform, DrFirst is helping healthcare organizations reduce friction, improve provider productivity, and deliver more effective patient care.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Enabling Technology Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The recognition highlights forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Recognition

Frost & Sullivan’s Best Practices Recognitions honor companies across regional and global markets that exhibit exceptional achievement and consistent excellence in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer experience, and strategic product development. Each recognition is the result of a rigorous analytical process in which Frost & Sullivan industry experts benchmark performance through comprehensive interviews, deep-dive analysis, and extensive secondary research. The goal is to identify true best-in-class organizations that are driving transformative growth and setting new industry standards.

About DrFirst

For 25 years, healthcare IT pioneer DrFirst has empowered providers and patients to achieve better health through intelligent medication management. The company has won over 25 awards for excellence and innovation, including TIME’s list of the World’s Top HealthTech Companies of 2025, recognizing the company’s medication management solutions and integrated workflows that make every step of the patient journey easier, from first prescription to ongoing adherence.

ZEISS CLINIC 360 receives FDA 510k clearance, amplifying patient care through simplified clinical insights

The ZEISS CLINIC 360 all-in-one browser-based software solution aggregates clinical data at scale and powers advanced analytics for streamlined ophthalmic workflows, providing clinicians with more time for personalizing patient care.

JENA, Germany, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ZEISS Medical Technology, one of the world’s leading medical technology companies, today announced the 510k clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ZEISS CLINIC 3601. An all-in-one cloud and browser-based software solution, ZEISS CLINIC 360 combines diagnostic and medical data into a comprehensive patient view. By making relevant information easy to access and review, the solution helps clinicians evaluate disease progression, support treatment decisions, and improve workflow efficiency. ZEISS CLINIC 360 is part of the ZEISS ophthalmic workflow portfolio and will be available in the U.S. in early Fall 2026.

ZEISS CLINIC 360 all-in-one cloud and browser-based software solution

“Our strategic focus on digitally connected workflows, combined with the increasing adoption of digital ophthalmic tools in the U.S., has firmly positioned ZEISS at the forefront of empowering ophthalmologists. As ophthalmology continues to adopt connected technologies, clinicians need solutions that fit seamlessly into how their practice operates,” says Federico Villegas, Head of ZEISS Medical Technology U.S. and President of Carl Zeiss Meditec USA, Inc. “ZEISS CLINIC 360 reflects our commitment to reducing complexity across the care journey and helping practitioners work more efficiently while maintaining focus on their patients, marking a significant advancement toward the delivery of more personalized patient care.”

“Practices are dealing with increasing volumes of information from imaging devices, medical records, and diagnostic testing. With ZEISS CLINIC 360, our game-changing, cloud-based solution presents a truly comprehensive view of a patient, supporting a wide range of practices with actionable clinical insights and flexible configurations,” says Anuj Kalra, Head of Chronic Disease Management at ZEISS Medical Technology. “ZEISS CLINIC 360 represents a new standard in patient care support, helping clinicians identify meaningful change more quickly and spend less time searching for what they need.”

With the introduction of ZEISS CLINIC 360, ZEISS now offers eye care providers the flexibility to choose the data management approach that best fits their needs. While ZEISS FORUM continues to provide robust on-premise data management for practices that prefer local infrastructure, ZEISS CLINIC 360 delivers a cloud-based alternative that provides flexibility and scalability in a subscription-based model with low upfront costs and predictable monthly or annual payments.

Create a comprehensive patient overview

Combining information from diagnostic devices, electronic medical records, and practice systems, ZEISS CLINIC 360 creates a comprehensive patient record that allows clinicians to view their DICOM-enabled diagnostic device data – including CIRRUS®, CLARUS® and HFA® from ZEISS, as well as third-party devices – to gain a unified, multi-modality view, enabling faster, more informed decisions to deliver high-quality, personalized care. ZEISS CLINIC 360 includes EMR integration2 that seamlessly consolidates critical patient data – including risk factors, family history, allergies, and more – into the clinical workflow, organizing medical and diagnostic data together to present a comprehensive view of the patient’s condition.

Gain actionable clinical insights 

Leveraging disease-based summaries, interactive analysis, and collaboration tools, ZEISS CLINIC 360 transforms data into actionable clinical insights to enhance patient care. Clinicians can quickly monitor glaucoma progression, for example, with intuitive color-coded alerts and trend analysis of OCT, IOP and Visual Field data. ZEISS CLINIC 360 streamlines the clinical workflow with automated, interactive tools and analyses, providing greater efficiency across the workflow. When consultation is needed, clinicians can securely share cases and reports and request input from colleagues through integrated access to the ZEISS Collaborative Care feature, helping to facilitate improved patient care and referrals.

Designed for different clinical practice models

Built on the ZEISS Health Data Platform, ZEISS CLINIC 360 is accessed through the cloud or a web-based browser, enabling clinicians to review information across locations without requiring local software installation. Subscription options allow practices to select the configuration that best aligns with their operational and clinical requirements.
