Consistently high rankings and commitment to achieving goals acknowledged by industry accolade

TOKYO, May 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ricoh’s commitment to enabling sustainable and responsible print production has achieved industry recognition, with the Buyers Lab (BLI) 2024-2025 Pacesetter Award in Production Print Sustainability from Keypoint Intelligence, a global market research firm and independent evaluator of print and smart technology hardware, software, and services. Koji Miyao, President, Ricoh Graphic Communications & Senior Corporate Officer, was presented with the accolade today by German Sacristan, Director of Keypoint Intelligence’s Production Group, at drupa 2024, an international exhibition for the print and media industry.

Pacesetter Awards from Keypoint Intelligence recognize those document imaging OEMs that have shown market leadership in a variety of categories, including technologies, services, and key vertical markets. Ricoh was recognized for its contributions to sustainability in the production printing area. Keypoint’s Sacristan explained that Ricoh received the Pacesetter Award because of its consistently high rankings across a variety of factors related to production sustainability. Important was the fact that Ricoh’s corporate responsibility involves collaboration with international environmental standards organizations and educational programs, supported by a large dedicated inhouse team focused on driving sustainability operations and leadership actions.

Also achieving recognition was Ricoh’s strong commitment to sustainability on the product side, with its focus on reducing environmental impact through recyclable production products, service parts, supplies, and packaging. Keypoint Intelligence also acknowledged Ricoh’s steady and consistent company vision toward environmental goals such as achieving net zero carbon emissions and its continuous refinement of its sustainability objectives.

Ricoh has a long history of incorporating sustainability into operational strategies. In 1994 Ricoh established the Comet Circle™ to contribute to the development of a sustainable society. Today, it is working towards net zero emissions by 2050. By 2030 it is aiming for 50% of electricity usage to come from renewable sources and by 2040, for the use of 100% renewable electricity at all major sites. Water conservation and reducing the use of hazardous materials is a focus across manufacturing sites, too, while Ricoh’s printer remanufacturing service continues to use fewer resources, energy, and raw materials.

These initiatives, and others, are why Ricoh recently received a Gold rating from EcoVadis, placing Ricoh among the top 5% of companies assessed, consecutively being recognized since 2014. Ricoh was also named for the fourth consecutive time, as one of the Supplier Engagement Leaders by CDP, a non-profit organization that runs the leading global disclosure system for environmental impacts.

Koji Miyao says: “Ricoh has been committed to developing sustainable and responsible practices in the graphic arts industry for decades. We are delighted that our unwavering commitment and dedication has received such prestigious industry recognition. We look forward to continuing the great progress we are making, hitting our targets, and in turn supporting our clients as they develop their own sustainable, efficient, and successful operational environments.”

BC Token Reaches New All-Time High Near $0.0179, Extending Its July Rally

Published

on

By

The token set another price record just three days after reaching $0.01561 on July 17. As BC.GAME continues to expand its token ecosystem, $BC is now more than 50% above its April price level.

BELIZE CITY, Belize, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BC Token ($BC), the ecosystem token of BC.GAME, reached a new all-time high of approximately $0.0179 on July 20, extending a series of price records set since April.

The latest milestone came only three days after $BC reached approximately $0.01561 on July 17. Based on the latest intraday high, the token gained more than 14% from its previous record.

Compared with its April 12 price level of approximately $0.01181, $BC has increased by around 51%. It is also approximately 44% above the $0.01237 level recorded in June. Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile and may change significantly over short periods.

The latest high is part of a broader price trend that has developed over recent months. During the same period, BC.GAME has continued to expand BC Engine and the wider utility of its token ecosystem.

Launched on April 8, BC Engine is BC.GAME’s token participation and reward system. It is designed to connect eligible activity across the platform with $BC participation and recurring BCD rewards.

Users can earn $BC by participating in supported products and activities on the platform. Eligible tokens are automatically allocated to BC Engine, which distributes BCD rewards to participating users through hourly settlements.

Through the BC Engine interface, users can view their allocated $BC balance, accumulated BCD rewards and other relevant participation data.

BC Engine is also expanding the range of ecosystem contribution nodes and connected products. BC Originals, Croco Gaming and sportsbook technology provider BETBY currently operate as contribution nodes within the BC Engine ecosystem.

A portion of the profits generated through BETBY-supported sportsbook activity is contributed to BC Engine to support BCD reward distributions. This connects the operational performance of the sportsbook with the wider BC Engine reward ecosystem.

Beyond BC Engine, the $BC economic model includes separate daily buyback and burn mechanisms. $BC acquired through daily buybacks is redistributed to players through Instant Bonus, while daily token burns are generated through early unlocks. Users who unlock their $BC less than seven days after it enters BC Engine incur a 1% token burn, while those who remain in the system for at least seven days can unlock their full balance.

BC.GAME will continue introducing additional ecosystem contribution nodes, product integrations and data features, further expanding the practical role of $BC across its wider platform ecosystem.

More information about BC Engine is available at bc.game/bc.

BOC Group Releases ADONIS 19.0 LTS to Bring Smarter Support into Everyday BPM Work

New release improves AI-supported documentation, dashboard personalization, and process mining insight

DUBLIN, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BOC Group today announced the release of ADONIS 19.0 LTS, the latest Long-Term Support version of their Business Process Management suite. The new release introduces practical enhancements that make everyday process work more intelligent, focused, and easier to manage.

As process landscapes grow, the challenge for organizations is no longer only to document how work should happen. It is to help people use that process knowledge in the moments where decisions, changes, and improvements actually take place. ADONIS 19.0 LTS supports this shift with improvements that bring clearer guidance, more relevant views, and stronger evidence closer to daily BPM work.

A central enhancement is AI Text Refinement within the ADONIS AI Assistant. It enables users to improve descriptions, notes, and documentation directly within ADONIS properties, where the content is maintained. By supporting better wording, tone, structure, and level of detail, the AI Assistant helps teams keep process documentation clear, consistent, and easier to maintain.

AI-assisted process generation has also been improved to provide a stronger starting point for modeling work. Generated process models now include Lanes and automatic object numbering, giving teams clearer responsibilities and a more structured first draft. This makes generated models easier to review, discuss, and refine.

In addition, ADONIS 19.0 LTS extends Configurable Dashboards with new widgets for processes, assets, KPIs, and updates. Users can bring the information most relevant to their role into one focused view, reducing search time and creating a clearer starting point for daily BPM work.

The new Variant Analysis capability in ADONIS Process Mining Essentials further improves process transparency by showing the different paths work actually takes. Based on real execution data, organizations can identify common routes, uncover deviations, and reveal improvement potential with greater confidence.

Together, these enhancements reinforce ADONIS as a platform for decision-grade process transparency. By connecting structured process knowledge with relevant user views and real execution insight, ADONIS 19.0 LTS helps organizations standardize operations, identify improvement opportunities, and build a reliable foundation for automation and AI initiatives.

“With ADONIS 19.0 LTS, we focused on making process work more natural and relevant for every user”, said Tobias Rausch, ADONIS Product Manager. “BPM creates the most value when people can move from process knowledge to action without unnecessary friction. This release brings support, insight, and guidance closer to the moments where work actually happens.”

ADONIS 19.0 LTS is available now. More information is available on the BOC Group website.

Acron Technologies Unveils New Corporate Brand at Farnborough International Airshow 2026

Chalet branding, website, and LinkedIn presence launch together as new corporate identity debuts across the company’s aerospace solutions and defense technology portfolio

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Acron Technologies today unveiled its new corporate brand at the Farnborough International Airshow, marking the company’s first public presentation under its new identity. The launch coincides with the debut of Acron Technologies branding on the company’s chalet at the show, as well as the launch of the company’s website and LinkedIn presence (www.acrontechnologies.com and linkedin.com/company/acron-technologies).

“Farnborough is where our industry comes together, and it’s the right stage to officially introduce Acron Technologies to the market,” said Alan Crawford, Chief Executive Officer of Acron Technologies. “Over the past eighteen months, we have brought together companies whose technologies were built to work alongside each other — in the cockpit, on the battlefield, and in the moments when a space mission or rescue operation depend on getting it right. That strategic fit is what Acron Technologies represents, and it is what will keep making each of these companies stronger as the portfolio grows.”

The Acron Technologies brand unites a portfolio of established companies serving the aerospace, defense, and rescue technology markets. Each portfolio company continues to operate under its own name, with its own products, customers, and brand identity unaffected by the launch. The following companies are part of the Acron Technologies portfolio: Acron Aviation, ACR Electronics, APS Aerospace, NAL Technologies, Trakka Systems, Ocean Signal, Digital Barriers, Alereon, Sightline Intelligence, Flight Data Systems, Artex, FreeFlight Systems, and Skytrac.

While each portfolio company will continue to operate independently, the combination of their technologies creates integrated capabilities unique to the Acron Technologies portfolio. Certified avionics and collision-avoidance systems help keep aircraft safely separated in increasingly crowded skies. Secure positioning and communications technology keeps warfighters connected and oriented even when GPS is unavailable. And distress beacons, thermal switches and rescue technology, trusted by the U.S. Coast Guard and flown on NASA’s Artemis program, help bring people home in the worst conditions. Together, these capabilities span the full arc of a flight, a mission, or a rescue — from keeping people safely in the air to bringing them home when something goes wrong.

“Each of these companies has built its reputation over years, and in some cases decades, of work in their respective fields,” Crawford said. “Our new website and LinkedIn presence give customers, partners, and the industry a single place to see the full breadth of what the Acron Technologies portfolio offers, while every portfolio company keeps its own name and identity in the market.”

About Acron Technologies
Acron Technologies is a mission-critical aerospace and defense technology platform built to create safer skies and protect lives across air, land, sea, and space. Organized around Aerospace Solutions and Defense + Rescue Technologies, the Acron portfolio brings together specialized businesses in avionics, connectivity, surveillance, navigation, rescue, and flight data services, including Acron Aviation, ACR Electronics, APS Aerospace, NAL Technologies, Trakka Systems, Ocean Signal, Digital Barriers, Alereon, Sightline Intelligence, Flight Data Systems, Artex, FreeFlight Systems, and Skytrac. Across defense, and rescue operations worldwide, Acron businesses hold trusted, often sole-source positions that help operators fly safer, move faster, stay connected, and respond when lives are on the line.
