NIHONMATSU, Japan, July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ADX Co., Ltd., headquartered in Nihonmatsu, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, is pleased to unveil EARTH WALKER, an architecture platform designed with the concept of “Exploring the Earth.”

EARTH WALKER comprises two series: the Summit Series designed for safe, comfortable stays in harsh natural environments up to 4,000 m above sea level; and the Custom Series offering customizable functions and designs. ADX is happy to reveal for the first time its designs for MOON from the Summit Series, and SANU CABIN MOSS from the Custom Series.

– How EARTH WALKER was born
Guided by its motto of “Living with the forest,” ADX has pursued the goal of encouraging the circularity of Japanese forests, driving for this purpose technological advancements in wooden architecture, and active utilization of wood-based resources through design and construction services for commercial facilities, lodging facilities, and residential properties. ADX has also partnered with Sanu Inc. — a provider of members-only vacation home rental and ownership service SANU 2nd Home — since the latter’s inception, pursuing as an architectural service provider eco-friendly architecture that transforms the way properties are developed and built. Examples include building without nails to better enable reuse of construction materials, and adopting raised foundations to mitigate the structure’s impact on the soil. Through its activities, ADX was made acutely aware of the significant challenges for both construction crew and the structures themselves when it came to siting buildings away from urban centers in favor of unspoiled nature — limited availability of power, plumbing, and other public utilities, for instance, and severe weather conditions such as extreme temperatures, high winds, and so on. ADX also felt that existing examples of “extreme architecture” in Japan, many designed primarily for nature observation and shelter from the elements, could do with improvement in their comfort and aesthetic design if they were to serve as more permanent homes or holiday accommodation.

This is why ADX came to create and release EARTH WALKER, a completely new architecture platform offering the benefit of spending time in unspoiled nature to more people, more safely and in greater comfort. For ADX, creating and unveiling EARTH WALKER have meant updating its architectural mission from achieving eco-friendliness to achieving symbiotic relationships with the natural environment. ADX looks forward to growing its business for regenerative sustainability so that forests are enriched as its architectural projects grow in number.

– What EARTH WALKER is
Dramatic mountains, massive glaciers, forests teeming with all kinds of wildlife — Earth still preserves natural spectacles unaffected by civilization if only people could venture out of their urban dwellings. Designed for those of people who are explorers in spirit, EARTH WALKER is an innovative architecture platform for safely staying on and enjoying the natural delights of untamed land.

– “MOON” in the Summit Series, a concept prototype showcasing EARTH WALKER’s highest specifications
MOON in the Summit Series is a concept prototype designed for comfortable living in environments such as mountains with deep snow and uninhabited islands. To overcome the challenges of inhabiting high-altitude locations with elevations of 4,000 m or more, MOON is equipped with pressurization, oxygenation, and other functions for minimizing the risks of altitude sickness and oxygen deficiency, many of which employ technology originally developed for aeronautics.

– ADX’s unique designing and technology make EARTH WALKER possible
In order to design a variety of different models for customers to choose from, ADX has developed its own unique architectural design methodology that incorporates the use of Grasshopper programming as well as Honeybee, Ladybug, and other environmental simulation software. Having built a system for instant model verification and validation under complex requirements, ADX has a system in place for producing designs that transcend conventional thinking. Moreover, in Fukushima Prefecture where its head office is, ADX has its own plant LABO for in-house production of prefabricated parts, with future plans for upscaling the production line.

EARTH WALKER offers the experience of enjoying the beauty of nature in total safety and comfort. ADX’s mission is to provide to as many people as possible the chance of appreciating and deepening their affection for the depth and breadth of the planet Earth, a luxury previously reserved for mountaineers and explorers.

Dynamic Pricing Raises New Questions for Forwarders Evaluating Automated Freight Quoting

As freight forwarders adopt AI freight quoting software, Aircon founder Chris Condon says buyers should measure more than response speed. He urges teams evaluating freight quote automation software to count total operator time, including review and correction, and to check how quotes hold up when shipment details change.

LEWISVILLE, Texas, Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As more freight forwarders adopt AI freight quoting software to keep pace with shifting rates, a practical question is emerging: how much of the time saved is later spent checking and fixing what the software produces? Chris Condon, founder and CEO of Aircon, says buyers evaluating freight quote automation software should look at dynamic pricing alongside the work required to turn a supplier’s rate into a customer commitment. His comments follow G2’s 2026 AI Agents Report, updated October 14, which examines the operating costs of reviewing and correcting automated work.

“A higher rate can still be the right choice if it supports the required service,” Condon said. “What matters is knowing what the price includes, which conditions apply and what still has to be confirmed before the customer relies on the answer.”

“Think about a hotel when a major concert comes to town,” Condon said. “Demand goes up, there are only so many rooms, and prices can rise. Freight responds to supply and demand too. The forwarder’s job is to work out whether the available price and service meet the customer’s need.”

Freight pricing reflects more than demand. Costs, contract terms, and shipment requirements all shape the final number. A changing rate tells the forwarder something about one particular option… building a customer offer still requires checking service conditions, outstanding confirmations, and the forwarder’s own commercial rules.

That verification step is where automated freight quoting is put to the test. Condon refers to it as decision assurance: organizing the inputs and evidence behind a proposed commitment, flagging open questions, and keeping a record of the decision, while the forwarder retains judgment and the customer relationship.

“A higher rate can still be the right choice if it supports the required service,” Condon said. “What matters is knowing what the price includes, which conditions apply and what still has to be confirmed before the customer relies on the answer.”

G2’s report draws on a July survey of 1,019 business technology decisionmakers across industries. Forty-five percent of respondents said oversight and rework consume more than a quarter of their expected productivity gains. The findings are self-reported and cover enterprise AI adoption broadly; the report is not specific to freight.

For teams comparing freight quoting software for forwarders, Condon suggests looking beyond response speed. He recommends measuring total operator time, including review and correction, and asking how any freight quote management software handles changes to shipment details…and whether a second operator can understand the conditions behind an earlier quote.

“The practical standard is to give the team time back and keep the judgment behind the customer commitment clear,” Condon said.

About Aircon:

Aircon provides decision-assurance software for freight forwarders, supporting the review that takes place before a quote becomes a customer commitment. It preserves inputs, evidence, and decision state within the forwarder’s existing workflow, while the forwarder retains the customer relationship and commercial judgment.

DataLogix AI Launches Workplace Video Resources for Businesses Exploring AI and Robotics Training

New calculator, business owner guide and inquiry form help companies assess workplace video alongside existing business records.

UNION, N.J., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DataLogix AI, a division of Trailblaze Solutions LLC, has launched online resources to help business owners explore first-person workplace video for AI and robotics training. The new resources include a workplace-video overview, an adjustable revenue calculator, a business owner guide and an inquiry form for discussing potential fit.

The launch adds a second starting point alongside DataLogix AI’s existing focus on licensing business records. Owners can compare written operating history, such as internal email, chat, tickets and project records, with newly recorded footage showing the hands, tools and steps involved in approved physical tasks. Businesses with both types of activity can explore each separately.

The workplace-video resources describe possible tasks in areas including warehousing, maintenance, construction, production and vehicle service. These examples are discussion starting points, not confirmed eligible categories. The guidance asks owners to review participant consent, recording permissions, safety, equipment and footage acceptance criteria before beginning.

The calculator models a four-week scenario using the number of participating workers, accepted recording hours per worker and an assumed payment rate. Owners can optionally enter employee compensation and other business costs. All figures are illustrative. The calculator does not establish an offered rate, forecast earnings or determine eligibility, and a result after entered deductions is not net profit.

The accompanying guide explains how the two opportunities differ in preparation, rights and economics. It includes questions about who may approve participation, what can be recorded or licensed, who may receive the material and how payment would be determined. Owners can review the resources without uploading company records or workplace footage.

Businesses interested in learning more can use the inquiry form to describe their company and the opportunity they would like to discuss. An inquiry is not enrollment, recording permission or a payment offer. Program availability, equipment and commercial terms require separate confirmation, and payment may be zero.
