  • MIL-OSI: Trupeer.ai Raises $3M to Unlock Studio Quality Videos for Every Software

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    San Francisco, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Every product demo starts with a screen recording. But for most teams, turning that into something polished can mean hours of editing, painful handoffs, or bloated video tools. Trupeer, the AI video platform built specifically for software and business workflows, has raised $3 million to change that.

    The seed funding round was led by RTP Global, with participation from Salesforce Ventures following Trupeer’s win at the Salesforce AI Pitchfield, and a consortium of over 20 CIO and CTO angel investors from Fortune 500 companies. This round supports Trupeer’s mission to reinvent how teams create product videos, tutorials, and walkthroughs. With a single raw screen recording, Trupeer’s AI engine can produce a clean, professional video in seconds, complete with AI voiceovers, avatars, highlights, and the ability to translate video instantly into 50+ languages.

    Trupeer founders: Shivali Goyal and Pritish Gupta.

    Trupeer was founded by Shivali Goyal and Pritish Gupta, who saw a pattern across teams: product knowledge was hard to share, and even harder to scale.  They experienced this firsthand, Shivali while driving digital transformation projects at BCG, and Pritish while leading large teams at fast-growing startups. That one insight led to hundreds of conversations with SaaS founders, IT leaders, and customer teams – all looking for a faster, more flexible way to create high-quality product marketing and training content.

    “Software should be easy to explain. But until now, making good product videos meant spending hours editing or thousands of dollars on production,” said Shivali Goyal, CEO and co-founder of Trupeer. “We built Trupeer so anyone can turn a simple recording into a polished video that’s clear, searchable, and ready to scale, without needing any professional video skills.”

    With Trupeer, teams drop in a rough recording of a demo, a process walkthrough or an internal how-to, and the platform handles the rest. Its multi-modal AI pipeline removes filler words, generates studio-quality voiceovers, adds intelligent zooms and subtitles, tracks cursor actions, and inserts a humanlike AI avatar for a more engaging delivery. Alongside the video, Trupeer automatically generates step-by-step documentation with screenshots and summaries, giving users everything they need to explain a product clearly, instantly, and at scale. 

    Unlike traditional video editors or generic screen recorders, Trupeer is built to meet the speed and complexity of modern businesses. Its AI personalization layer creates multiple versions of a single video, tailored by audience, language, or brand style, and lets teams share them instantly through public links or embedded formats.

    Trupeer is already being used by over 10,000 teams globally, from fast-growing startups to Fortune 500 companies. As a result, teams are going live with customers faster, cutting support tickets, and slashing training time across departments.

    Trupeer’s momentum also reflects a broader shift: video has become the dominant format for sharing knowledge, and teams need faster, more adaptable tools to keep up.

    “Trupeer is reimagining content creation by turning what was once complex, costly, and manual into a fast, automated, and scalable process. From onboarding to support and training videos, they’re making high-quality product content accessible in minutes”, said Madhur Makkar, RTP Global. “We’ve been incredibly impressed by the positive feedback Trupeer has garnered from its users—they’re clearly building something that resonates with a passionate customer base. We’re excited to support Shivali and Pritish as they build a defining company in AI-powered content infrastructure.”

    Looking ahead, Trupeer is expanding beyond screen recordings. The team is building new ways to generate video from documents, personalize content at scale, and integrate natively with the tools where teams already work, from CRMs to learning platforms. Longer term, the vision is bigger: a system that doesn’t just create product knowledge, but acts like a common brain for organisations; allowing anyone, anywhere to create, share and access every single piece of information, workflow and process that exists in the workspace. Trupeer started with a vision to make technology accessible for all, and this fundraise is the first step in that direction.

  • MIL-OSI: Vorlon Launches Industry’s First Unified SaaS and AI Security Platform, Empowering Enterprises to Secure the Next Wave of AI-Driven Innovation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vorlon, the leader in SaaS ecosystem security, today announced the launch of the industry’s first unified SaaS and AI security platform. As enterprises accelerate digital transformation, Vorlon’s new capabilities give business and IT leaders the comprehensive visibility and control they need to manage risk and unlock innovation, no matter how fast the world is changing.

    The macro shift: AI is now part of the enterprise SaaS fabric

    Over the last fifteen years, enterprises have shifted massive amounts of sensitive data into SaaS, but visibility and control haven’t kept up. Security and compliance teams have been grappling with a fast-changing landscape. Hundreds of sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS applications, each containing thousands of integrations, have already stretched traditional risk management to the breaking point.

    Now, the adoption of AI-driven innovation is accelerating faster than any previous technology wave.

    According to Gartner® 1, by 2028:

    • “33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024.”
    • “At least 15% of day-to-day work decisions will be made autonomously through agentic AI, up from 0% in 2024.”
    • “One-third of interactions with generative AI (GenAI) services will invoke action models and autonomous agents for task completion.”

    AI agents, copilots, and automated workflows access sensitive data, initiate transactions and connect disparate SaaS systems at machine speed, often leaving traditional security tools blind to where data is flowing and who or what is controlling it. This compounds existing blind spots and introduces completely new ones, including:

    • Expanded access: AI agents inherit broad privileges, often spanning multiple apps and data types, making unauthorized or excessive access more likely.
    • Opaque data flows: AI agents can move data between SaaS platforms and external models, frequently without clear audit trails or human review.
    • Shadow AI adoption: Employees and teams can spin up new AI plugins and integrations outside IT’s purview, rapidly multiplying risk.
    • Complexity of oversight: Traditional tools can’t distinguish between legitimate user activity and automated, machine-driven actions, leaving organizations in the dark about who (or what) is accessing critical information.

    “Enterprise security teams thought SaaS made life complicated. AI takes it to a whole new level. The biggest risk today isn’t just what you know, but what you can’t see. Vorlon is the first platform to bring true clarity to this new frontier, giving business leaders the power to move fast and innovate without fear,” said Amir Khayat, co-founder and CEO of Vorlon.

    “Agentic AI is software that’s designed to pursue goals and make decisions on its own. The key difference? It’s officially been given the green light by the organization to act on its behalf, making choices and taking action without needing a human in the loop every time. From a cybersecurity standpoint, that’s a nightmare waiting to happen. If compromised, this AI doesn’t just leak data, it acts with your full organizational permissions, turning every decision it makes into a potential breach at machine speed. That’s why AI oversight is so critical.”

    “In a world where every app, every user, and now every AI agent can touch your most sensitive data, security can’t be an afterthought. Vorlon delivers a unified strategy that’s built for the way modern business actually works, so leaders can unleash the power of AI and SaaS, confidently and responsibly.”

    “Our mission is simple: Give business leaders the power to innovate without fear. With Vorlon, CISOs and other executives get the real-time visibility and control they need to move fast, meet regulatory demands, and unlock the true value of their AI-powered future.”

    Unifying SaaS and AI oversight

    Vorlon continuously discovers both sanctioned and shadow AI usage, maps every sensitive data flow between SaaS apps and AI models and agents, and delivers real-time, explainable alerts for unusual access or data sharing, whether it’s a human or a machine at the controls. Security and compliance teams get a live, intuitive view of every identity, every connection, and every integration touching their data.

    Key features include:

    • Shadow AI discovery: Instantly surface unauthorized or hidden AI tools, copilots, and integrations.
    • Sensitive data flow mapping: Trace exactly where and how business data is accessed, processed, or exported by humans, digital keys, and AI alike.
    • Unified access monitoring: Visualize every connection, API call, and service account linking AI, automation, and SaaS.
    • Behavioral and risk analytics: Prioritize response using context-rich intelligence on both human and machine-driven threats.
    • Audit-ready reporting: Meet regulatory and board-level demands for transparency and accountability in the age of intelligent automation.

    Cloud speed and scale via DataMatrix™ and MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server

    DataMatrix™, Vorlon’s patent-pending engine that models a SaaS ecosystem, links every alert, identity, API, data flow, and secret. Vorlon’s MCP Server acts as the connective tissue, translating an enterprise’s security questions into precise queries against this detailed model, and returning answers to key questions—who (or what) was involved, what was accessed, where the risk is, and what to do next.

    Built for speed and scale, DataMatrix™ is lightning fast and optimized for the massive, interconnected SaaS and AI environments now prevalent in the modern enterprise. Vorlon’s architecture means security teams get answers in seconds, not minutes or hours.

    A new foundation for trust in the intelligent enterprise

    Vorlon’s approach is already being adopted by Fortune 500 leaders and digital innovators who recognize that AI is transforming not just productivity, but the very nature of risk. In an era where the speed and complexity of change outpace traditional oversight, Vorlon puts business and IT leaders back in control.

  • MIL-OSI: One in three Americans pays for a specialist streaming or subscription service

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nearly a third of American subscribers (31%) now pay for at least one specialist subscription — ranging from horror streaming and pet trackers, to diet plans, meditation apps, and more. That’s according to newly released research from Bango (AIM: BGO).

    Beyond streaming: The rise of specialist subscriptions

    According to the Bango study, which surveyed 5000 U.S. subscribers, Americans are looking beyond the go-to streaming platforms and signing up to a huge variety of specialist services.

    1 in 10 now pay for at least one children’s subscription service such as ABCmouse, while 1 in 20 pay for a guided meditation subscription. A further 1 in 20 pay for at least one foreign-language streaming service.

    Broader bundles: America demands more choice

    As consumers embrace a broader range of subscriptions, many are calling for these services to be bundled into the deals offered by their mobile providers, banks, and internet service providers.

    More than half of subscribers (58%) believe today’s bundles should include a wider variety of specialist subscriptions, not just the major streaming platforms. At the same time, subscribers are also looking to build more unique bundles that reflect their own unique interests:

    Top subscription combos

    • 34% of health‑and‑fitness subscribers also pay for a food delivery or meal kit service
    • 26% of students combine language or study apps with international cuisine services such as Hungry Panda
    • 21% of food delivery subscribers also pay for genre‑specific streamers like Shudder
    • 16% of AI tool subscribers pay for a dating upgrade (e.g. Tinder Gold)
    • 14% of gaming subscribers splash out on pet‑care subscriptions such as BorrowMyDoggy

    Commenting on the findings, Giles Tongue, subscription expert at Bango, said, “When deciding whether to take up a bundle or deal, today’s subscribers want more than just streaming, music or retail. The beauty of bundling is that subscribers get to design their own experiences and build a combination that is genuinely useful and meaningful to them.”

    “Today’s subscribers are creating all kinds of weird and wonderful combinations. They’re bundling meditation apps with heavy‑metal playlists and using AI subscriptions to perfect their Tinder ice‑breakers. These quirky combos represent the next stage in the bundle economy, offering a huge commercial opportunity to providers who are willing to team up with other, more specialized players.”

    “Imagine Shudder teaming up with HelloFresh for a ‘Meals & Squeals’ deal. That’s a bundle. Or Duolingo offering Hungry Panda vouchers to language learners. That’s a bundle. With the Digital Vending Machine® (DVM™) from Bango, launching those cross‑category bundles is as easy as flipping a switch.”

    The bundle economy

    Bango predicts that growing consumer demand for specialist streaming and subscription services will fuel a new wave of bundling and a further boom to the growing bundle economy.

    According to additional Bango data, 68% of U.S. consumers are now paying for at least one subscription obtained indirectly, such as through a bundled offer. Meanwhile, 72% of subscription brands report higher customer lifetime value from subscribers acquired via bundles compared to those acquired through direct sign-ups.

    “The bundle economy presents a huge opportunity, but the challenge is in linking all of these services together efficiently,” said Giles Tongue. “Consumers don’t want complexity. They want convenience, choice, and value in one place. The Digital Vending Machine® from Bango already connects hundreds of popular, mainstream, and specialist subscriptions, powering Super Bundling platforms from Verizon, Optus and Telenet. Using the DVM, telcos, banks, retailers, and other providers can offer compelling deals instantly, differentiating their services, while giving customers the variety they crave.”

Facility owners are under immense pressure to deploy capital effectively, yet many continue to face challenges due to outdated or siloed data, manual processes, and fragmented workflows. These inefficiencies often result in delayed decisions, missed opportunities, and a lack of clarity across programs.

It offers comprehensive financial tools to forecast costs, assess risks, and manage budgets effectively. AI-driven scenario planning enables users to prioritize projects, model cash flows, and optimize funding strategies.

    With Primus, you can:

    • Maximize ROI and cut capital waste by funding the right projects
    • Accelerate planning cycles through automated workflows and AI-guided insights
    • Gain full financial visibility by aligning teams and centralizing data
    • Reduce risk with real-time visibility into portfolio health, cost drivers, and schedule impacts

    Aurigo’s customers include some of the largest infrastructure and facilities owners in North America, spanning federal and state agencies, departments of transportation, and water authorities. Building on this success, the company’s latest platform—Primus—is now available to owners in sectors such as data centers, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and warehousing. In 2025, Aurigo plans to expand the platform with additional AI-powered products to offer end-to-end solutions that transform how capital programs are planned, built, and delivered.

FLEX provides fully customizable coverage, allowing homeowners to adjust protections and deductibles to align with their individual risk preferences and financial goals.

    Massachusetts homeowners, particularly those in coastal counties, have faced mounting insurance challenges in recent years.

Orion180’s FLEX product directly addresses these concerns through robust, customizable coverage without coastal restrictions, a rare offering in today’s constrained market.

    “Our mission is to bring smarter, more accessible insurance solutions to underserved communities,” said Ken Gregg, CEO of Orion180. “Massachusetts homeowners have faced higher premiums and fewer options due to the increasing threat of weather-related events. FLEX delivers tailored protection, transparent pricing, and peace of mind. Agents and homeowners can feel at ease because we have a 0% state abandonment rate and stand firmly behind the markets we serve.”

    Key Benefits of FLEX Home Insurance:

    • Flexible Coverage Customization: Homeowners can tailor core coverages and perils to align with their specific risk tolerance and financial needs.
    • No Coastal Restrictions: FLEX supports coastal counties with no distance-based pricing exclusions or restrictions.
    • Variable Deductibles and Copays: Policyholders can select from a range of deductible levels and copay percentages to optimize both short-term costs and long-term value.
    • Claims-free Reward: Eligible homeowners may earn a bonus of up to 100% of their first-year premium based on the duration of their claims-free history.
    • Significant Discounts: Eligible homeowners can access significant savings via senior discounts, tree-free yards, military/first responder, and more.

    FLEX Home Insurance is available now through select Massachusetts insurance agents in Essex, Plymouth, Middlesex, Barnstable, Suffolk, Dukes, Norfolk, Nantucket, and Bristol counties.

  • MIL-OSI: Semitech, Occitaline, and Safesquare Launch Babi-LON Platform – Enabling Next-Generation LonWorks PLC

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MELBOURNE, Australia and BORDEAUX, France and RADEVORMWALD, Germany, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Semitech Semiconductor, Occitaline, and Safesquare today jointly announced the availability of the Babi-LON platform, an integrated hardware and software solution for LonWorks power line communication (PLC) networks built on Semitech’s advanced SM2400 multi-mode PLC transceiver with full EIA-709.2 protocol support.

    The EIA-709.2 protocol – part of the LonWorks suite defining the physical layer for PLC – is a cornerstone technology in building automation, smart lighting, transportation, and industrial control systems worldwide.

It simplifies migration by providing open familiar interfaces and proven protocol stacks, allowing OEMs and system integrators to sustain and evolve their LonWorks-based systems with minimal redesign.

    “We’re excited to partner with Occitaline and Safesquare to accelerate the transition to next-generation LonWorks PLC,” said Zeev Collin, CEO of Semitech Semiconductor. “The Babi-LON platform enables customers to seamlessly replace obsolete components, maintain their existing networks, and take advantage of the advanced capabilities of the SM2400.”

    Occitaline and Safesquare, both recognized leaders in LonWorks and industrial automation solutions, have integrated the SM2400 into their expanded Babi-LON offering, delivering software stacks and reference designs that dramatically simplify migration and new product development.

    “By incorporating the SM2400, we’re able to offer a modern, fully supported EIA-709.2 platform with long-term availability and outstanding performance,” said Daniel Zotti, CEO of Occitaline. “This gives our customers a clear, confident path to upgrade legacy products and sustain mission-critical networks.”

    Martin Mentzel, CEO of Safesquare, added: “Our customers can now continue building LonWorks-based power line networks with the assurance of a next-generation, multi-protocol foundation. The Babi-LON platform with the SM2400 is essential for preserving large installed bases and preparing for future expansions.”

    Key benefits of the new Babi-LON platform:

    • Seamless LonWorks support – full compliance with EIA-709.2, ensuring interoperability with existing devices and legacy systems
    • Guaranteed long-term supply (10+ years) – ensuring security of supply for extended-lifecycle projects
    • Accelerated time-to-market – turnkey modules, proven software stacks, and expert design-in support from Occitaline and Safesquare
    • Superior PLC performance – robust communication over power lines, improved noise immunity, and extended range

    Availability

    SM2400 samples and evaluation kits with EIA-709.2 support are available immediately through Semitech and its authorized sales partners. For more information, please visit www.semitechsemi.com.

    The expanded Babi-LON platform and design-in support for customer projects from Occitaline and Safesquare will be available starting in September. For more information, please visit www.babi-lon.com.

  • MIL-OSI: The “Big and Beautiful Act” reshapes the cryptocurrency landscape. Why will joining SAVVY MINING become the ultimate winner?

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Recently, the “Big and Beautiful Act” proposed by the United States has sparked heated discussions in the global financial market. The bill is regarded as an important measure for macroeconomic stimulus and fiscal restructuring, and is expected to affect the status of the US dollar, global capital flows and investor risk preferences. Among them, the potential impact on the cryptocurrency market is particularly eye-catching.

    On the one hand, if the bill exacerbates market concerns about the US dollar, it may further consolidate Bitcoin’s market position as “digital gold” and drive more funds into crypto assets. In addition, the economic stimulus policies released by the bill are also expected to enhance the attractiveness of overall risk assets and stimulate the strengthening of mainstream currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

    However, although the traditional currency holding strategy may bring asset appreciation, it cannot provide a continuous and stable cash flow. Faced with inflation risks and drastic market fluctuations, more and more investors realize that simply “hoarding coins” is not enough to guarantee long-term returns and capital security.

    Against this background, the cloud mining platform SAVVY MINING stands out and becomes the preferred solution for many cryptocurrency investors to achieve stable passive income.

    Why choose SAVVY MINING?
    Daily stable income, easy passive income
    SAVVY MINING brings daily settlement and continuous mining income to users through remote leasing of professional mining machines, so that funds can “move” and continue to create stable income for investors.

    Zero technical threshold, zero maintenance pressure
    No need to buy mining machines, no need to deal with complicated maintenance and electricity bills. Users can easily start earning cryptocurrencies with one-click registration, making passive income simple and efficient.

    Legal and compliant, safe and reliable
    SAVVY MINING insists on transparent operation and complies with British regulatory standards. The safe operation in the past 8 years has brought a safe, long-term and stable profit experience to 8.5 million users worldwide.

    Low threshold participation, flexible value-added strategy
    Whether it is a retail investor who is trying for the first time or a senior investor who wants to increase passive income, you can flexibly choose the computing power package according to your needs and easily open a diversified crypto income path.

    In the future, cloud mining is a stable engine for crypto wealth accumulation
    The “Great Beautiful Act” is reshaping the global capital landscape. Faced with rising inflationary pressure and currency depreciation risks, simply holding coins can no longer meet people’s expectations for sustained and stable returns. Cloud mining has gradually become the core choice for crypto asset allocation with its daily cash flow, low volatility and long-term profitability.

    In the new round of global wealth track, SAVVY MINING will help investors seize opportunities, create their own stable passive income, and become the ultimate winner.

    [Join SAVVY MINING now to start mining, start a journey of stable crypto income, and let wealth grow every day! ]

  • MIL-OSI: Nutanix Study Finds Financial Services Fast-Tracking GenAI Adoption—but Long-Term Gains Hinge on Infrastructure and Talent

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN JOSE, Calif., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, announced the findings of its seventh annual global Financial Services Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) survey and research report, which measures enterprise progress with cloud adoption in the industry. The research showed that nearly all the financial services organizations surveyed are currently leveraging GenAI applications or workloads today, with a focus on real-life applications gravitating towards customer support and content development.

    Despite widespread GenAI adoption, financial services organizations are struggling to keep pace. Most cite a skills gap needed to manage GenAI with existing infrastructure. Moreover, 97% of respondents admit they could do more to secure their GenAI models and applications.

    “Financial services organizations are turning to containers and hybrid cloud not just as technology upgrades, but as strategic enablers of customer value,” said Lee Caswell, SVP of Product and Solutions Marketing at Nutanix. “This year’s ECI report highlights how these technologies are delivering measurable ROI by powering GenAI applications that enhance fraud detection, strengthen cybersecurity, and elevate customer engagement. For financial institutions, containers and hybrid cloud have become essential tools to drive innovation, agility, and trust in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

    “But AI and how organizations want to use it is also changing very rapidly. While GenAI remains a part of their activities, beyond the findings in the report, our customers are telling us they have moved to adopt agentic AI and are looking to harness its potential across their organizations and in how they interact with their customers.”

    The report surveyed financial services leaders on GenAI adoption, Kubernetes, and container use, and where they’re running mission-critical applications today—and where they plan to run them next. Key findings include:

    • GenAI Adoption Is Widespread but Not Without Risk: Nearly all industry respondents report using some form of GenAI today, with current use cases focused on customer support, content generation, and automation. However, data privacy and security stand out as the top concerns, with 97% agreeing their organizations must do more to secure GenAI models and applications.
    • Infrastructure Modernization Is Needed for GenAI Success: 92% of respondents say their current infrastructure requires improvement to fully support cloud native applications and containers. Although containerization and Kubernetes are already in use, particularly for GenAI workloads, application portability and data silos persist as major hurdles.
    • IT Talent Shortage Could Slow Momentum: Nearly all respondents (98%) face challenges scaling GenAI from development to production, citing lack of skilled personnel and integration issues. While 62% of respondents are actively hiring for GenAI expertise, training and upskilling remain critical priorities.
    • Return on Investment (ROI) is a Priority but It’s a Long Game: 39% of respondents anticipate potential GenAI-related losses in the next 12 months, while 58% expect gains within one to three years. This suggests that financial services leaders are embracing a longer-term view of GenAI success but also underscores the need for better tools to measure GenAI ROI.
    • Security and Compliance Will Continue to be Important: The majority (96%) of respondents say GenAI is reshaping their data security and privacy priorities. Additionally, 90% express concern about data security in the broader IT vendor ecosystem, further highlighting the complexity of securing AI deployments.

    For the seventh consecutive year, Nutanix commissioned a global research study to learn about the state of global enterprise cloud deployments, application containerization trends, and GenAI application adoption. In the Fall of 2024, U.K. researcher Vanson Bourne surveyed 1,500 IT and DevOps/Platform Engineering decision-makers around the world. The respondent base spanned multiple industries, business sizes, and geographies, including North and South America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific-Japan (APJ) region.

  • MIL-OSI: Regula Makes Self-Service ID Checks Faster and Easier with New Embedded Document Reader

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    RESTON, Va., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Regula, a global developer of forensic devices and identity verification solutions, introduces a new embedded document reader—the Regula 7223E—designed to streamline ID card checks at self-service kiosks and e-gates. Built specifically for ID-1 format documents, such as driver’s licenses and national ID cards, the compact scanner helps borders and businesses speed up identity checks, reduce user errors, and deliver a better customer experience at scale.

    The Regula 7223E embedded into an e-gate

    Self-service solutions are the new norm in airports, hotels, casinos, and secure facilities. But verifying ID cards—especially when users insert them incorrectly or need to scan both sides separately—remains a common point of friction. The Regula 7223E solves this problem with:

    • Dual-side scanning in a single step.
    • No-wrong-way card insertion.
    • Automatic ejection after scanning.

    The result: faster lines, fewer errors, and a smoother process for customers and operators alike.

    Built for speed, designed for integration

    The Regula 7223E is based on the desktop ID card reader Regula 72X3, which was released several years ago. The new OEM version responds to new challenges and can be used as a standalone document reader at kiosks, e-gates, or other self-service points. The Regula 7223E also has enhanced capabilities thanks to full compatibility with Regula’s embedded full-page document reader Regula 70X8M, enabling businesses to automatically route different document types—passports or ID cards—to the correct device. The built-in indicator guides users through the process, improving usability and speeding up verification workflows.

    Powered by Regula’s robust software

    Like all Regula document readers, the 7223E is backed by Regula Document Reader SDK, a comprehensive document verification software solution that enables multiple automated checks (including analyzing MRZ data, barcodes, RFID chips, and visual elements) to prove IDs’ authenticity. It draws on Regula’s proprietary world’s largest identity document template database, which includes over 15,000 templates from 252 countries and territories.

    “We designed the Regula 7223E to remove unnecessary friction in ID checks. With this launch, we now offer a complete suite of embedded readers tailored to document type, with shared software tools and synchronized operation. Whether verifying a passport or an ID card, organizations can count on fast, reliable, and accurate data capture and authentication from a single trusted provider,” says Alex Lewanowicz, Director of Hardware Engineering at Regula.

    To learn more about the new Regula 7223E, visit Regula’s website.

    About Regula

    Regula is a global developer of forensic devices and identity verification solutions. With our 30+ years of experience in forensic research and the most comprehensive library of document templates in the world, we create breakthrough technologies for document and biometric verification. Our hardware and software solutions allow over 1,000 organizations and 80 border control authorities globally to provide top-notch client service without compromising safety, security, or speed.

    • Powerful Reporting and Audit Tools: Custom dashboards, historical trend analysis, and pre-built reports streamline internal tracking and external audits.

    The app is metadata-driven and built on the configurable Locus Platform, allowing customers to configure their own workflows, forms, and compliance rules without writing a single line of code. Combined with the broader Locus Water Suite — which includes applications for water quality, water metrics, stormwater, and more — the Backflow Prevention app significantly advances the digital transformation of water compliance.

    “Our mission is to deliver the most complete, unified platform for managing every aspect of water operations,” said Neno Duplan, CEO of Locus Technologies. “With the launch of the Backflow Prevention app, traditional data silos are crumbling, and our customers are gaining full control over their data, inspections, and compliance mandates — all in one place.”

  • MIL-OSI: Smackover Lithium Reports Highest Lithium Brine Grade in SWA Project Area as FEED Studies Nearing Completion

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LEWISVILLE, Ark., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Smackover Lithium, a Joint Venture (“JV”) between Standard Lithium Ltd. (“Standard Lithium” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SLI) (NYSE.A: SLI) and Equinor, is pleased to announce that it has completed sampling from its newest exploration well, the Lester well, in the South West Arkansas (SWA) Project area, and has recorded the highest lithium concentration reported to date from the SWA Project area; 616 mg/L lithium in brine.

    The Lester well was completed in the second quarter of this year and concludes all sub-surface exploration activities for Phase 1 of the SWA Project. The location of the Lester well in relation to the SWA Phase 1 Project is shown in Figure 1 below, and an aerial photograph of the Lester well and associated pad is shown in Figure 2.

    Sampling of brines from the upper Smackover Formation was completed by the Company, and subsequent analysis of the brine by an independent third-party certified laboratory demonstrated significantly higher than expected lithium concentrations in the Lester brine, marking the highest lithium grade reported for the SWA Project. The summarized lithium brine analyses are provided in Table 1 below which highlights the average lithium concentration from three brine samples was 582 mg/L.

    Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of Standard Lithium stated, “The Smackover Lithium team has now completed all the fieldwork and testing required for Phase 1 of the SWA Project. We completed this final well in a part of the project area where we expected the lithium concentration to be approximately 500 mg/L, so we’re encouraged with these latest sampling results that show the highest lithium concentrations in the whole SWA Project area (maximum 616 mg/L), demonstrating a marked improvement from levels in the existing world-class lithium brine resource.

    With all of the fieldwork complete, the joint Smackover Lithium team is working to complete the FEED study, with a Definitive Feasibility Study expected later in the third quarter of this year. The completion of these studies will represent a significant milestone as the team rapidly advances Phase 1 of the SWA Project through off-take negotiations and project finance towards a Final Investment Decision targeted by year-end 2025.
