YANGZHOU, China, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Meihua International Medical Technologies Co., Ltd. (“MHUA” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MHUA), a reputable manufacturer and provider of Class I, II and III disposable medical devices with operating subsidiaries in China, today announced that its NT-2000 surgical path analysis system successfully supported the world’s second* 5G remote robot-assisted lobectomy. This procedure, we believe the first of its kind in China’s Yangzi Delta area, was performed on July 15, 2024, at Yangzhou University Affiliated Hospital by a team from Shanghai Chest Hospital.

“We are honored that our cutting-edge technology could assist the advanced 3D imaging for surgical mapping in this sophisticated procedure,” said Mr. Yongjun Liu, Chairman of Meihua, “Despite a physical distance of over 200 kilometers between the surgical team and the patient, the operation was executed seamlessly in just one hour, thanks to 5G technology and the precision of the robotic surgical system. We believe that robot-assisted surgery has made significant strides due to its clinical effectiveness, low risk, and quick recovery times. We also believe that successful implementations improve the quality of medical services, allowing patients to access diverse, personalized, and high-quality healthcare locally. We anticipate that this innovation will not only ease the workload on medical staff but also address disparities in medical resource distribution across China. Moving forward, Meihua will continue in its efforts to innovate and enhance healthcare outcomes for patients.”

The development of Meihua’s robotic surgical systems is part of the Company’s strategic initiatives to increase sales of high-end products and broaden its customer base. The Company has introduced new overseas technologies, including minimally invasive surgical robot systems, and established a dedicated research and development team focused on robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) systems. The Company believes its NT-2000 system’s real-time monitoring and guidance capabilities enable precise targeting of surgical sites, improving the accuracy and success rates of operations. The RAS project is being developed in conjunction with the Hope City Medical Park in Hainan province, China. The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025.

* We believe this is the World’s second 5G remote robot-assisted lobectomy, as reported by Yangzhou University Affiliated Hospital:  https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/HuApwLs3V8rRib1nSpUMXQ and Yangzhou Daily: http://news.yznews.com.cn/2024-07/27/content_7674119.htm.

New software connects AI agents, skills and workflows across the automation lifecycle

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 21, 2026 /CNW/ — Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced the introduction of FactoryTalk® Conductor™, a new AI-native orchestration platform designed to coordinate AI-powered work across the industrial automation lifecycle, creating a foundation for AI-enabled workflows from system design through operation and maintenance. The software will make its public debut at Automation Fair® 2026 in Boston, where attendees will receive an exclusive first look ahead of its planned commercial availability in the first quarter of 2027.

According to Rockwell Automation’s 2026 State of Smart Manufacturing Report, one-third of manufacturing operations are already AI-augmented, with adoption expected to accelerate in the years ahead. As manufacturers move from AI experimentation to broader deployment, they need practical ways to connect technology, workflows and expertise. FactoryTalk Conductor is designed to meet that need through a single platform that brings AI together across engineering environments.

“The next phase of industrial AI will be defined by orchestration rather than individual copilots,” said Craig Resnick, Vice President, ARC Advisory Group. “Manufacturers need AI technologies that can coordinate tasks across software systems, engineering tools and operational data. FactoryTalk Conductor reflects the industry’s evolution toward agentic automation by bringing AI agents, workflows and industrial expertise together in a unified environment.”

FactoryTalk Conductor enables users to initiate engineering tasks using natural language and intelligently connects the software, AI capabilities and workflows needed to complete them. At launch, the platform will integrate with Studio 5000 Logix Designer®, Logix Echo™, Emulate3D® and FactoryTalk® Optix™, providing coverage across key design, development, simulation and testing workflows. Additional integrations across Rockwell Automation’s software portfolio, including FactoryTalk® Design Studio™, FactoryTalk® Historian, Plex® and Fiix®, are planned to follow, expanding AI-powered workflows across the industrial automation lifecycle.

“What makes FactoryTalk Conductor unique is the combination of AI orchestration and trusted industrial expertise,” said Matheus Bulho, senior vice president, software & control, Rockwell Automation. “Customers can leverage Rockwell Automation-verified agents and skills, create capabilities tailored to their business, and connect AI across software, data and services. This creates a scalable foundation for accelerating engineering work while maintaining the standards required in industrial environments.”

Key benefits include:

Supporting enterprise AI and governance requirements, giving organizations the flexibility to leverage FactoryTalk Hub-hosted AI services or connect their preferred large or small language models, including locally hosted open-weight models that can help reduce ongoing token consumption costs.Accelerating engineering workflows across the automation lifecycle by coordinating activities across design, development, testing and verification environments.Reducing complexity across software applications by enabling AI-powered workflows that span Studio 5000 Logix Designer, Logix Echo, Emulate3D, FactoryTalk Optix and other Rockwell Automation solutions.Applying AI with greater confidence and reliability through Rockwell Automation-developed integrations that connect software, data and services across industrial operations.Extending trusted automation expertise through Rockwell Automation-verified agents and skills, helping teams accelerate work with capabilities purpose-built for industrial applications.

Manufacturers attending Automation Fair 2026 will be able to experience FactoryTalk Conductor demonstrations across multiple show floor experiences, including Technology & Services Showcase, Industry Pavillion, Innovations, as well as dedicated technical sessions.
