SINGAPORE, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cybersecurity leader Wultra, specializing in post-quantum authentication (PQA) for banks and fintechs, is opening a new office in Singapore—its first branch in Asia. The expansion strengthens Wultra’s commitment to supporting regional demand for quantum-resistant security and helping financial institutions prepare for emerging cyber threats of the post-quantum era.

“Southeast Asia is becoming one of our key markets. The region’s financial sector is evolving rapidly, with post-quantum authentication increasingly becoming a top priority. Establishing a local presence enables us to provide better support to our clients and assist more institutions in strengthening their defenses for a quantum-ready future. The timing aligns with our participation in the Singapore FinTech Festival 2025, where we connected with local stakeholders,” said Peter Dvorak, CEO of Wultra.

The new office is located at 80 Robinson Road, Singapore 068898, in the same building as the Singapore FinTech Association. Over 70 banks and financial institutions across 25 countries already trust Wultra’s technology to secure their digital banking systems. Its clients include major banking groups and payment providers such as Raiffeisen Bank International and Global Payments.

The potential of East Asia’s market is yet to be fully unlocked. “Across the region, countries are taking different approaches to digital authentication. However, regulators, governments, and businesses alike are clearly moving toward more advanced and secure solutions. With our new branch in Singapore, Wultra is strengthening its local presence to support these diverse markets and help them transition to stronger, post-quantum-ready authentication.” said Dvorak from Wultra. The latest report from Gartner mentions post-quantum authentication as one of the emerging trends, with Wultra being the sole Sample Vendor in the category. “With increased demand from leading banks worldwide, Wultra’s focus on PQA and the gradual phasing out of SMS-based authentication is the right strategic direction,” adds Dvorak.

IFS Cloud 25R2: Unlocking 10X Industrial Workforce Capacity with Digital Workers and Applied Industrial AI

By
Advertorial Desk

Latest release demonstrates how IFS.ai continues to deliver contextual, embedded, industry-specific intelligence, and now agentic Digital Workers, to drive measurable outcomes, at speed, in the mission-critical industries that keep our world running.

LONDON, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — IFS, the leading provider of Industrial AI software, today announced the release of IFS Cloud 25R2, applying the very latest in AI innovation to the realities of hardcore, industrial work. The release introduces powerful new agentic AI capabilities, including IFS Loops Digital Workers that think, decide, and act across systems, operating as integral members of the industrial workforce. Industrial AI is an operational reality. With 25R2, IFS demonstrates that when deployed at scale, Industrial AI multiplies human capacity against the backdrop of acute labor shortages.

At its flagship event, Industrial X Unleashed, IFS revealed a foundational truth: generic AI fails in industrial reality. Industrial sectors face an unprecedented capacity crisis as £17 trillion of capital is deployed to create AI factories, rebuild aging infrastructure, and stabilize volatile supply chains. Meanwhile, millions of industrial jobs sit unfilled and 50% of the industrial workforce is due to retire in the next five years, taking critical experience and expertise with them. IFS Cloud 25R2 addresses this directly with applied Industrial AI and Digital Workers that have the potential to expand industrial workforce capacity infinitely.

Speaking at Industrial X, New York, IFS customer Pedro Buhigas, CIO at Kodiak Gas Services, said: “If half of our workforce engages with the [IFS Loops] agent once per day, that’s three million dollars a year of ROI. More importantly, that’s ninety thousand hours we can give back to field service technicians to do their job.”

With 25R2, IFS.ai expands its embedded intelligence and Digital Workers across the IFS Cloud suite, launching new AI-driven capabilities in its ERP, EAM and FSM solutions that make AI a true co-worker with contextual knowledge for every role.

Christian Pedersen, Chief Innovation Officer, IFS, said: “The strength of our solutions lie in their application – AI deeply embedded into the complex processes and workflows of industry to work autonomously, intelligently, and profitably. Generic, consumer-grade AI tools simply can’t cut it in these environments. This is what attracts world-leading AI partners to work with us as they seek to expand in the industrial space. It’s why customers trust us to transform their operations. This is the next frontier in Industrial AI, and IFS is defining it.”

Ending the Invisible Work Problem – the Next Generation of Automation

Industrial organizations face a hidden productivity drain: the “invisible work” – repetitive, time-consuming tasks that consume 40-60% of field and operations staff capacity but drive minimal strategic value. These repetitive workflows (order processing, inventory management, maintenance scheduling, data entry) delay critical operations, result in unplanned downtime, prevent first-time fixes, and consume hours that frontline experts could spend on high-value judgment calls.

IFS Loops Digital Workers represent the next generation of automation – advanced software agents that work alongside teams. They are embedded to execute complex workflows across systems, streamline repetitive processes, and deliver continuous operational value. All within a secure, governed, and fully auditable environment built for enterprise scale. IFS Loops Digital Workers are fundamentally different from consumer-grade automation tools. They:           

  • Think – Embedded with domain knowledge specific to industrial operations (maintenance protocols, supply chain constraints, asset-specific rules)           
  • Decide – Autonomous execution within governed parameters; human-in-the-loop for exception management           
  • Act – Execute complex workflows across systems 24/7 – no downtime, no handoffs           
  • Remain Auditable – Full traceability and governance for mission-critical and regulated industries

Industrial AI is expanding the workforce, not replacing it. Digital Workers multiply human capability when labor shortages and infrastructure demands have never been greater. The first five Digital Workers available are:

  • Customer Order Manager – Accelerates order processing, reduces errors, and ensures accurate, end-to-end order fulfilment.           
  • Supplier Order Manager – Ensures supplier orders are accurate, on time, and coordinated, reducing delays and operational risk.           
  • Inventory Replenisher – Reduces stockouts and overstock by automatically monitoring and replenishing inventory.
  • Operations Analyst – Provides teams with consolidated, actionable information from multiple sources.
  • Material Replenisher – Ensures critical materials are available on time, preventing production or service delays.

Cathie Hall, Chief Product and Customer Officer, IFS, commented: “Our commitment to customers is to embed industrial-focused AI where it matters most – in the daily workflows of field technicians, maintenance planners, and operations teams. We’re ensuring that what we build is immediately adopted and delivers measurable impact, all with AI at the core. This reflects confidence in our technology and our ambition to lead the market by operating with deeper customer connection than anyone else.

AI Embedded for Real-Time Orchestration of Industrial Operations and Supply Chains

Alongside Digital Workers, IFS Cloud 25R2 embeds Applied Industrial AI throughout the customer journey: 

  • Field Service Management– Technician-focused AI tools boost productivity and first-time fix rates. IFS.ai Copilot provides instant information and key answers in the field. Work Briefing Generation enhances preparation and reduces oversights with an AI-generated job summary, consolidating critical task information, while Service Report Summarization accelerates customer sign-off with clear, AI-generated summaries.                           
  • Enterprise Asset Management – AI-driven capabilities improve maintenance accuracy, reduce downtime, and enhance planning precision. The Work Task Template Optimizer utilizes AI-driven insights to improve maintenance instructions. New Work Order Reporting: Data Population allows technicians to enter short summaries or voice notes that automatically populate key details. The FMECA Data Enhancer accelerates reliability analysis with AI-driven suggestions for failure modes and causes.                                 
  • Enterprise Resource Planning – AI enhancements strengthen planning accuracy, inventory control, and financial agility across operations. Manufacturing gains AI-powered MRP Simulation for multi-scenario demand planning, Sales Price Elements for dynamic pricing accuracy, and First Article Inspection for streamlined compliance workflows. Finance benefits from automated supplier invoice data capture and intelligent business planning baselines.
  • Aviation Maintenance – AI-powered capabilities accelerate maintenance operations and improve part selection accuracy. The new IFS.ai Smart Part Finder delivers context-aware part suggestions using structured IPC data and AI, reducing search time and improving accuracy to accelerate aircraft return-to-service.

“[With IFS] it wasn’t just about the technology, it was about business processes, operating best practices, and business acumen. My team was totally energized; we had junior through senior members all in the same room, and it allowed us to stop, innovate, and streamline processes in flight. Through that transition and technology partnership, we drove 30 % savings to the bottom line – proof of how simplifying complexity pays off.”- Tony Alloway, VP North American Operations, BGIS, IFS customer, speaking at Industrial X Unleashed

Sustainable and Profitable Growth

IFS Cloud 25R2 continues to embed sustainable practices automatically while driving financial returns for customers. New AI-powered KPI Narrative Generation and enhanced emissions tracking integrate sustainability into every operational decision – bringing visibility to the forefront rather than treating it as a month-end reporting exercise. This results in companies strengthening compliance and sustainability reporting while proving that profitability and sustainability advance together.

IFS Cloud 25R2 is available from 27 November. For more information about IFS Loops Digital Workers and the latest release, visit https://www.ifs.com/ifs-cloud/ifs-cloud-release

RheoFit Closes Pre-A Led by Xiaohongshu (RED) and ZhenFund

By
Advertorial Desk
-

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On October 24, RheoFit, a consumer electronics company specializing in musculoskeletal health, announced the completion of its Pre-A funding round, led by Xiaohongshu (RED) and ZhenFund. The company launched the world’s first automatic foam roller in September 2024. RheoFit will use the new funding to advance product development and expand its global presence, continuously enhancing the AI-powered experience in healthcare and rehabilitation.

“We started RheoFit to solve a problem we all feel every day: why can’t recovery after exercise be easier and more effective? In 2022, as marathon runners and engineers, we found ourselves once again struggling with a foam roller after a long run,” said Adam Sun, RheoFit‘s CEO. “Like every athlete, we knew the familiar exhaustion—tight muscles, heavy legs—yet the tools available just weren’t helping. Traditional foam rollers felt like a second round of pain, while massage guns, though powerful, often left our hands numb and sometimes even caused strain.”

That’s how RheoFit A1 was born: a self-moving foam roller that takes the effort out of recovery and lets your body truly relax.


About RheoFit

Founded in 2023 by Adam Sun, RheoFit develops next-generation robotic and AI technologies to make musculoskeletal recovery easier, smarter, and more effective.

Sun, a mechanical engineering graduate from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and an avid marathon runner, has long combined athletic passion with technical precision. In high school, he won the provincial robotics championship for two consecutive years, and as a freshman, led a 100-member robotics team to top national honors, including First Prize in the National University Mechanical Innovation Design Competition and Second Prize in RoboMaster.

The RheoFit team is a dynamic Gen Z collective that combines the endurance of marathoners, the precision of cyclists, the rigor of engineers, and the insight of rehabilitation experts.

  • Technology Leadership: The team includes national robotics champions and former lidar project leads from leading robotics companies, bringing hands-on experience in advanced R&D and system-level engineering.
  • Intelligent Medical Engineering: Guided by rehabilitation specialists who have worked with China men’s national basketball team, RheoFit ensures its innovations are grounded in real-world recovery needs, seamlessly integrating intelligent algorithms with human movement mechanics.
  • Global Brand Expertise: The commercialization team features brand strategists from institutions such as Harvard University, London School of Economics and Political Science, University of Southern California, and King’s College London, combining global perspective with executional strength to translate cutting-edge technology into scalable, market-ready products.

 

The Birth of RheoFit A1

In 2022 in Shenzhen, a group of marathon runners and engineers who would later found RheoFit recognized a common pain point in post-exercise recovery: traditional tools like foam rollers and fascia guns were often either painful or impractical. Foam rolling felt like a second round of strain, while fascia guns, though powerful, frequently caused numbness or discomfort. Determined to redefine recovery, the team set out to create a solution that delivers genuine relaxation without effort.

Over the next 1,000 days, the team iterated through more than 20 prototypes, refining every algorithm and mechanical detail. Despite countless setbacks, they never wavered. In September 2024, their persistence culminated in the launch of the RheoFit A1, the world’s first automatic foam roller.

Within just three months, the RheoFit A1 earned recognition from professional users and reached over 20 countries, including The United States, The United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore and Dubai. From living rooms and gyms to sports fields and mountain trails, RheoFit’s self-moving foam roller has become an essential recovery companion for athletes around the world.

Looking Ahead

With the support of RED and ZhenFund, RheoFit moves forward with renewed confidence. This partnership is more than recognition—it’s shared belief, a quiet encouragement to keep going. The new funding marks both a milestone and a beginning: an affirmation of our three-year commitment to a user-centered philosophy and the starting point of our next journey.

ZhenFund’s investors shared, “We’re always looking for founders of tomorrow. The RheoFit team has a sharp understanding of market pain points and exceptional engineering execution. We believe in their long-term potential in intelligent health and their ability to create transformative products and experiences.”

Within the RED community, more users are embracing a scientific and balanced approach to wellness. RheoFit’s philosophy is a sincere response to that aspiration. We believe proactive, technology-driven health management will be one of the defining trends of the future.
In the years ahead, RheoFit will stay focused on one goal: helping every runner go farther and recover better.
