Impactful ROI on prop-tech capitalStaffing cost and customer loyaltyOperational expenses—such as energy, logistics, maintenance, and food wasteData utilization including the types of data gathered and analyses being conductedQuestions around how well data is supporting operations

While navigating data-driven management can be challenging, employing the correct approach can transform it into a game-changing strategy. Building on the success of various case studies in South Korea with GS25 Retail and LG group companies, where S&I SANDI and MAIstro solutions have been integrated within retail operations, S&I and Scenera aim to implement its cutting-edge data management service in businesses on a global scale.

Event-driven data integration through filtering and ingestion of different types of relevant data readily available from different types of sensors, services or in public into operational Scenes such as SceneMarks for detecting anomaly events from surveillance video cameras, EnergyScene capture the status of real-time energy usage, and MaintenanceScene records current and historical data from equipment and appliances.These scene-based operational data can then be methodically arranged in a cloud data lake, where sophisticated AI analytics are employed to identify anomalies and predict when and what responses and maintenance are performed with corresponding notifications being sent to the operation teams.Armed with AI-driven data collection and analysis, facility managers are equipped to make informed decisions, strengthened by the power of generative AI. This integrated data approach improves operational efficiency and heightens safety and security for occupants.

A global approach: GTM strategy, co-promotion and co-branding
The partnership goes beyond mere product creation, encompassing joint efforts in go-to-market (GTM) strategy, shared promotional activities and co-developed and co-branded initiatives. Together, the collaborators will devise and implement a comprehensive global GTM plan focusing on the flawless melding of their products and services. A key emphasis will be on co-branding, aiming to forge a cohesive identity for their combined solutions and solidify their stance in the international marketplace.

Complete foldable protection with six-foot drop rating, MAGMAX ™ magnetic grip, and RokLock ® twist-lock mounting

IRVINE, Calif., July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ROKFORM today launched its Rugged Case for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Built with a slim, two-piece shell design — not just a backplate — the Rugged Case delivers six-foot drop protection, full hinge coverage, and secure RokLock® mounting across both foldable models.

“Users get the full ROKFORM experience with the Rugged Case, including incredible drop protection, RokLock® mounting, and MAGMAX™ magnetic strength, all in a design built specifically around the unique needs of a foldable device,” said Jeff Whitten, ROKFORM CEO.

The two-piece shell locks together to protect the outer screen, back, and spine of the Galaxy Z Fold8. In addition, the case is engineered to guard one of the most critical and vulnerable components on foldable phones — the hinge — from drops and impacts with full hinge coverage. The case exceeds military-grade drop protection standards from six feet, with a dual-layer build and reinforced corners designed to absorb real-world impact.

ROKFORM’s patented RokLock® twist-lock system delivers rock-solid, wobble-free connection to ROKFORM’s full ecosystem of car, bike, and motorcycle mounts. Combined with MAGMAX™ magnets, which deliver 3x more holding strength over standard MagSafe® magnets, users get an ultra-secure magnetic grip for mounting and use with other accessories.

The case is compatible with ROKFORM wireless chargers and compatible wireless charging accessories.
