SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 August 2025 – SafetySam, Singapore’s provider of safety solutions and workwear, is proud to announce a new product launch—the WORKSafe Greta Safety Boot.

Safetysam

Born from Craftsmanship, Built for the Field

Known as “Generally Resistant Enough To Anything”, the Greta boot is a rugged innovation designed for industrial professionals who rely on their footwear every day. The new product launch demonstrates the blend of traditional leather craftsmanship with cutting-edge safety performance.

After the success of its sneaker-style WORKSafe Starfire, SafetySam sought to create something more timeless. Inspired by classic leather boots and the designer’s own appreciation for Goodyear-welted construction, Greta was developed to meet a clear gap in the Singapore market: a durable, stylish, and functional safety boot that doesn’t compromise in wet or high-intensity work environments.

“Cemented and injection-moulded soles just don’t cut it in our humid climate,” said Jeffrey Seah, General Manager at PDS International. “We needed a boot that wouldn’t split, would age well, and still meet the demands of modern workers.”

What Sets Greta Apart

Greta is certified to EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 and SS513:2005. It has been field-tested and endorsed by workers across construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and logistics sectors. The new product launch introduces a range of features to deliver protection, performance, and durability.

  • Goodyear-Welted Construction for water resistance and long-lasting durability (WR).
  • Natural Latex Outsole with superior grip and hot contact resistance (HRO).
  • Free Lacing System for quick on-and-off without sacrificing style.
  • Metatarsal Impact Gel Guard (M) to shield the top of the foot.
  • Penetration-Resistant Sole (PS) that’s non-metallic yet highly protective.
  • Antistatic Protection (A) to guard against electrostatic discharge.
  • Energy Absorption Heel (E) and PU/PE insole for fatigue-free comfort over long shifts.
  • HBR lining is a waterproof, breathable membrane that contributes to the overall shoe achieving S7S compliance.


Who Is Greta For?

The new product launch targets the following groups:

  • Construction and Civil Engineering – where falling objects and heavy impacts are daily risks.
  • Oil and Gas / Marine – where exposure to fluids, heat, and slippery surfaces is constant.
  • Heavy Manufacturing – where hot metals, debris, and rough terrain challenge every step.
  • Logistics and Warehousing – where long hours on concrete demand both comfort and support.


The Story Behind the Boot: Greta and the Wild West

As with all great WORKSafe products, Greta is brought to life through SafetySam’s original comic series. This time, Sam is thrust into a Wild West multiverse—a tribute to the rugged origins of leather boots. There, he combines old-world techniques with modern safety innovations, mirroring the real-world development process behind Greta.

“The Wild West aesthetic captures the spirit of Greta—gritty, independent, and ready for anything,” as revealed by Crystal Heng, Marketing Manager at PDS International. “It’s a fun, narrative-driven way to express the soul of the product.”

The comic not only reflects the journey of a boot but also conveys a belief: workwear can be both legendary and practical.

Authentic Launch, Real Connections

The product launch is in line with SafetySam’s long-standing community—those who’ve supported the brand’s evolution from the ground up. The campaign now expands across digital platforms, social media, and storytelling content designed to resonate with both seasoned tradespeople and a new generation of users.

Notably, SafetySam is actively exploring partnerships. It is seeking content creators, industrial influencers, and distributors who share the same appreciation for quality craftsmanship and purpose-driven gear.

IU’s Beauty Hack for a Whiter Smile


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 August 2025 – Colgate-Palmolive has launched a new campaign for Colgate Optic White Purple, starring global K-Pop idol and beauty icon, IU. This marks the first time a Korean celebrity has been engaged for a Colgate campaign of this scale, strategically associating oral care within the thriving K-beauty landscape across 18 markets in the Asia Pacific region.

Groundbreaking New Campaign Unveiled for Colgate Optic White Purple Featuring K-Pop Icon IU, Redefining Oral Care as a Beauty Essential

“We are thrilled to collaborate with IU, the Queen of K-pop, a partnership poised to make a significant impact with beauty enthusiasts across Asia and globally,” said Samir Singh, EVP Marketing, Colgate-Palmolive, Asia Pacific. “As leaders in the Oral Care category, we are using the success of Optic White Purple to position toothpaste and oral care serums as beauty essentials. IU embodies the essence of K-beauty, a cultural force defining new trends in beauty across the world, now reveals the secret behind her smile – Colgate Optic White Purple. We will showcase the science of colour correction and use Omni-demand generation to drive engagement and purchase across every consumer touchpoint”.

Launched in August, the high-decibel campaign will span TV, digital, social media, retail, and Out-of-Home (OOH) channels, reaching consumers in Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Macau.

Speaking of the partnership, IU, the multifaceted musician and actress who debuted in 2008 has cultivated a loyal global fanbase known as UAENAs shared, “I’m truly delighted to collaborate with Colgate – it’s a brand I genuinely love.”

The campaign was created by WPP CP, led by Ogilvy teams in Singapore, Hong Kong & Korea, WPP Media & Social@Ogilvy Australia. The core objective is to continue building momentum for Colgate Optic White Purple, following the successful launch of Purple toothpaste and Serum innovations. This collaboration stays true to Colgate and IU’s authentic charm and personality, as it has been designed as a gift to her dedicated fanbase speaking directly to them. It features special product packs, exclusive collectibles, and behind-the-scenes content, all while reinforcing the message that “Purple is a must-have beauty hack for a whiter smile.”

“K-beauty is renowned for its viral beauty hacks, yet teeth have largely been left out of this dialogue – until now,” said Daniel Cullen, APAC Executive Director, WPP CP. “Our strategy was to create intrigue and firmly establish Colgate Optic White as an indispensable part of the beauty regimen. By re-introducing it as IU’s personal beauty hack, not for her skin, but for her teeth, we’re tapping into a powerful cultural phenomenon and a highly engaged audience.”

AI-based offering will help make alert overload a thing of the past for SecOps teams


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 August 2025 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today announced new agentic AI technology designed to solve the traditional pain points associated with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). When combined with Trend’s digital twin capabilities it will help to transform security operations by proactively mitigating security risks.

To learn more about Trend Micro’s Agentic SIEM technology, please visit: https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/business/products/security-operations.html

Dave Gruber, Principal Cybersecurity Analyst at ESG: “As the cybersecurity stack increasingly becomes AI driven, the security data layer must evolve to support data-hungry agentic capabilities, including infusing agentic AI into core SIEM functions. Trend Vision One Agentic SIEM enters the SIEM market at a pivotal time, leveraging Agentic AI from the ground up to drive speed, performance, and a new level of risk-driven, contextual insights to rapidly mitigate cyber threat activity.”

SIEM technology has been around for decades, but users face longstanding issues including cost, complexity, alert overload, and passive data lakes. In addition, traditional SIEMs rely on manual configuration and static parsers, which can’t keep up with the pace or variety of modern data sources. Trend’s Agentic SIEM was built from the ground up to address these challenges, leveraging the next generation of AI technology to proactively think, learn, and act. Acting independently, it cuts through alert noise, reducing workloads for overburdened security teams. What used to take weeks of setup is now automated by Agentic AI — it learns, maps, and optimizes data as it goes.

Customers using Trend’s agentic SIEM will improve their security and efficiency with:

  • 900+ data sources supported since launch on August 1 to improve visibility, context and threat detection
  • Three-day onboarding for new log types—with reduction to three hours by 2026—to reduce the risk of the unknown in enterprise environments
  • Trend’s proven XDR capabilities, with six native security sensors across endpoint, cloud, email, networks, servers, and identity. Agentic SIEM brings in third-party telemetry to provide a full view of the environment.
  • Up to seven years of archival data retention and two years of analytic retention for enhanced detection, threat hunting, and compliance support.

Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend: “Agentic SIEM is a major stepping stone to our long-term vision for full, AI-driven SecOps. It’s a future in which security teams will have more time to work on strategic tasks, safe in the knowledge that our agentic AI has their backs. With this launch, Trend is once again laying down a marker for cybersecurity innovation and global market leadership.”

Agentic SIEM has the potential to supercharge SIEM across a variety of use cases:
Threat Detection and Response: Replaces manual log and alert monitoring with autonomous data analysis, anomaly detection and response—reducing time to detect and mitigate threats.
Compliance Support: Combines extended data retention with the ability to search archival logs—meeting audit and regulatory requirements with ease.
Incident Investigation: Replaces manual, time-consuming and error-prone investigations with automated data correlation from multiple sources, to accelerate the process and enhance accuracy.

The potential to combine Agentic SIEM with Trend’s latest digital twin technology is a revolutionary opportunity for customers. Doing so enables proactive mitigation of security risks impacting these virtual models—surfacing intelligence to enhance resilience, compliance, and competitive advantages. This presents major opportunities in highly sensitive use cases including healthcare, supply chain security, predictive maintenance, and smart building management.

BEIJING, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (“Zoomlion”; 1157.HK) showcased its latest achievements in industrial and humanoid robotics at the 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing from August 8 to 12. Representing its combined role as a robotics user, systems integrator, and developer, Zoomlion presented new applications, core technology breakthroughs, and a forward-looking plan for intelligent manufacturing.

“Industrial and humanoid robots are not replacements, but partners in a new manufacturing paradigm. Our goal is to enable robots to adapt to their environment, advancing manufacturing toward higher quality, greater efficiency, and enhanced intelligence,” said Zeng Guang, General Manager of Zoomlion’s ZValley Technology Co. Ltd.

Zoomlion’s robotics journey spans nearly two decades, beginning in 2006 with programmable industrial robots for large-scale, single-product manufacturing. From 2019, the company deployed adaptive robots with vision and force sensing, supported by an industrial internet architecture to achieve agile, multi-model production.

This capability is exemplified by the Zoomlion Smart Industry City in Changsha, where over 2,000 adaptive robots operate on 300 intelligent lines, producing cranes, excavators, aerial work platforms, and concrete machinery. The facility can switch between models in minutes, achieving high-mix, low-volume production at scale.

In 2024, Zoomlion began exploring the use of humanoid robots to meet automation needs beyond the reach of industrial robots. The company has developed three models, two wheeled and one bipedal, with dozens in pilot operations in machining, logistics, assembly, and quality inspection.

These robots feature full-scene multimodal perception and intent recognition, integrated vision, force, and tactile sensing for precision grasping, and dual-arm collaborative motion planning with safety perception. To accelerate deployment, Zoomlion built a training facility with over 100 workstations and launched an AI-native cloud platform for large-scale data acquisition and model training.

These advancements are embedded in Zoomlion’s intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. Its industrial internet platform connects over 1.7 million units of equipment worldwide, spanning 18 categories and more than 600 models, and collects over 30,000 data parameters to create petabyte-scale industrial assets. This infrastructure powers the continuous evolution of both industrial and humanoid robotics, enabling real-time coordination and adaptive production.

Looking ahead, Zoomlion aims to create a new production model through the co-evolution of hardware and software, enabling industrial and humanoid robot clusters to work together and build smart factories with self-perception, self-adaptation, and self-decision-making capabilities.
