VANCOUVER, BC and MADRID, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Corinex, a global leader in smart grid technologies and broadband over power line (BPL) solutions, has secured strategic investment from Santander Alternative Investments, the alternative investment platform from Santander Group. This funding will accelerate the deployment of Corinex’s grid visibility and flexibility solutions—supporting Corinex’s continued global expansion and helping utilities across Europe and the Americas as they navigate the challenges of electrification, distributed energy resources (DERs), and renewable energy integration.

“Having Santander join as an investor is a major milestone for Corinex. Their leadership and deep expertise across Europe and Latin America make them an ideal partner as we scale our technology to support utilities in meeting the demands of electrification and decarbonization.”

– Peter Sobotka, CEO, Corinex

Transforming the Electrical Grid with Embedded Intelligence

Corinex’s next-generation grid digitalization solutions, built on BPL technology, transforms the existing electrical infrastructure into both a high-speed data network and a real-time monitoring platform. By embedding smart sensors, communication modules and controlling applications directly into the low-voltage power grid, Corinex allows utilities to gather granular data on grid conditions—voltage, frequency, power quality, and harmonic distortion—all without requiring separate telecom infrastructure.

But Corinex goes beyond monitoring. Its grid flexibility solutions provide utilities direct control over connected devices such as electric vehicle chargers, heat pumps, and battery systems—fully automizing demand-side management directly from the secondary substation. Corinex solution can steer when and how these low-carbon technologies consume power, improving grid stability and avoiding costly upgrades.

In short, Corinex empowers utilities not just with demand response, but with demand control—unlocking new capabilities to improve grid resilience, reduce operational costs, and delay expensive infrastructure upgrades.

Meeting the Growing Demand for Flexible Smart Grids

The proceeds from Santander Alternative Investments will further increase Corinex capabilities to speed up scaling of its grid digitalization solutions, which help utilities to overcome local grid constraints by providing both full visibility and direct control over energy demand at the edge of the network. Corinex solutions are necessary for mass participation of consumers in decarbonization.

As the adoption of electric vehicles, heat pumps, and rooftop solar accelerates, Corinex allows utilities to actively manage this new complexity in real time—reducing strain on the grid and deferring costly infrastructure upgrades. With a growing portfolio of interoperable products and strong traction among major utilities, Corinex is helping build a more resilient, flexible, and digitally connected energy system.

About Corinex

Corinex is a global leader in BPL technology, specializing in solutions for grid visibility and flexibility. Leveraging the G.hn standard, Corinex enables utilities to transmit high-speed data over existing power lines, reducing the need for extensive telecom infrastructure. Its solutions are deployed in large-scale projects across Europe to support the integration of renewable energy and the growing demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

GUIYANG, China, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — According to Communist Party of China Guizhou Gui’an New Area, locally produced robots drew large crowds at the China International Big Data Industry Expo in Guizhou, which ended on Saturday, as the province’s growing computing industry is poised to accelerate development in the robotics sector.

“We have achieved panoramic visual perception and can autonomously avoid obstacles in three-dimensional environments thanks to our long-term work in the visual field,” said Guo Di, R&D director at VMR Technology Co.

Based in Gui’an New Area — now a national computing powerhouse — VMR markets robots designed for manufacturing and logistics and focuses on machine vision. The company’s newly released OmniHead module, paired with 3D sensing, stitches together a panoramic image that gives humanoid robots the information they need for autonomous operation. 

“Many companies sell robot components, such as joints and chassis, but few have tackled the head module. We are already in talks with multiple partners,” Guo said.

VMR moved to Gui’an at the end of last year to tap the area’s computing power potential. On Aug 18, the firm unveiled OmniHead, a humanoid head module with extensive open interfaces that can fuse visual, voice and other data streams. It can be adapted to a variety of humanoid platforms.

“Globally, the robotics industry is moving toward embodied intelligence. That maturation requires vast computing resources for training, and Gui’an has that capacity,” Guo said.

As data and AI industries in Gui’an mature, more high-tech manufacturers are settling there. To date, the zone has attracted 26 data centers. The Gui’an data center cluster now exceeds 90 EFLOPs of computing capacity, with intelligent computing accounting for more than 98 percent of that.

One EFLOP represents a supercomputing performance of 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second.

Projects from tech firms including Huawei, Apple, Tencent and NetEase are proceeding. Officials said they will build a data ecosystem centered on high-quality data sets, develop industry-scale AI models, promote real-world applications and drive growth in advanced manufacturing.
