HANNOVER, Germany, April 22, 2026 /CNW/ — Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (“Zoomlion” or “the Company”; 1157.HK) has made the global debut of its embodied intelligence operating system, Robot Ops, at Hannover Messe 2026, taking place from April 20 to 24. At the event, Zoomlion is showcasing the robot operating system for industrial applications, along with its industrial AI and intelligent manufacturing (IM) solutions. Through live demonstrations and themed presentations, Zoomlion is highlighting its latest advances in embodied intelligence development platforms and IM practices.

Built for the Software 3.0 era, Robot Ops is a professional embodied intelligence development platform centered on the engineering concept of “Data, Software, and Agents.” It integrates DevOps, DataOps, and AgentOps into a full-stack, engineering-grade solution, enabling coordinated development across software, data, and intelligent agents.

The platform comprises four modules: basic tools, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and task orchestration, enabling full-lifecycle management from data collection and model training to simulation verification, application development, and deployment maintenance. Designed to be ready to use with a low barrier to adoption, Robot Ops improves closed‑loop iteration efficiency by over 50%.

It directly addresses four key industry challenges: high technical barriers, scenario migration difficulty, data bottlenecks, and lack of lifecycle management. By providing a standardized, replicable engineering path for large‑scale deployment, Robot Ops can be widely adapted to humanoid robots, industrial robots, construction machinery, and autonomous driving. As one platform empowering multiple industries, it supports a more scalable and standardized approach to embodied intelligence development.

At Hannover Messe 2026, Zoomlion is presenting live demonstrations under the unified scheduling of Robot Ops, in which a wheeled humanoid robot and a logistics mobile robot collaborate on a logistics-sorting scenario, while the first-generation mass-produced humanoid robot Z1 performs a dance routine and dynamic motion-control demonstration. The multi-robot collaborative demonstration shows how Robot Ops connects algorithms, task orchestration, and on-site execution.

Zoomlion is also presenting its Industry 5.0 IM solutions, including insights into Zoomlion Smart Industrial City. The showcase highlights how digital technologies such as intelligent scheduling, industrial AI, digital twins, and end-to-end intelligent logistics are integrated into manufacturing processes.

Zoomlion is exhibiting at Booth D76 in Hall 15 and Booth D70 in Hall 11, the China Pavilion. The Company is also co-exhibiting with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and participating in the China Pavilion’s “Invest in China” launch ceremony.

HELSINKI, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Realm has raised a $4.5 million Seed round to speed up enterprise sales cycles. Its platform gives AI the structured context needed to automate deal-defining materials like RFP responses. The round was led by Frontline Ventures, with participation from HubSpot Ventures, Slack Co-founder Cal Henderson and Deel Co-founder Alex Bouaziz.

Realm CEO Mikko Mäntylä believes revenue work is next to undergo the agentic revolution that has already transformed software development.

“Tools like Cursor and Claude Code have fundamentally changed programming. Developers now manage fleets of agents, often running five to ten simultaneous tasks in different terminal windows,” Mäntylä says. “The best revenue teams are starting to replicate this approach, offloading RFP responses, security questionnaires, and other customer-facing materials to AI.”

However, the shift is still held back by a fundamental constraint. Unlike in software development, where the codebase provides structured context for AI, revenue teams work with fragmented systems and unstructured data. Critical information, such as why a deal was won, has to be pieced together from subtle, scattered signals.

Realm solves this by turning raw information into a structured representation of a company’s market, products, pipeline, and strategies. This purpose-built context graph mirrors how human sellers are onboarded and gives agents the foundation they need to contribute effectively.

“Our customers use Realm to draft their most important deliverables, from multi-million dollar bids to business cases that will make or break months of work,” Mäntylä says. “Typically, 70-80% of Realm’s work is approved as-is. Any edits feedback into Realm’s context, creating a compounding record that everyone in the organisation benefits from.”

That institutional memory extends beyond Realm’s own application. The platform integrates with Slack, CRMs, and AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT, allowing teams to leverage Realm’s context and agents wherever they already work.

“The GTM stack has been built to record and report on what has already happened,” says George Radford from Frontline Ventures. “The emerging paradigm is tools that actually do the work, and Realm is building at the forefront of this shift. The team’s exceptional execution velocity and the rate at which customers are expanding usage convinced us Realm is the right team to back.”

The company will use the fresh funding to triple its team by the end of the year and accelerate its entry into the US.

Niantic Spatial is an American-based Artificial Intelligence company that deploys spatial intelligence across robotics, energy, construction, logistics, large venues, and the public sector.

SINGAPORE, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Singapore-based space education and innovation company OculloSpace has announced a strategic partnership with Niantic Spatial to deliver advanced digital twin solutions to the maritime industry across Southeast Asia.

Through this collaboration, OculloSpace will offer high-precision digital twin services, creating dynamic, virtual replicas of ships and maritime environments that mirror real-world conditions in near real-time. The company is among the first in Singapore to introduce such capabilities at this level of accuracy for maritime applications.

The digital twin platform integrates data from onboard IoT sensors to continuously replicate a vessel’s performance, condition, and behaviour. This allows maritime operators to monitor assets remotely, run simulations, and analyse performance without disrupting actual operations.

Providing centimetre-level precision, the technology enables:

Predictive maintenance, helping companies identify issues before they occurOperational optimisation, improving efficiency and reducing downtimeScenario testing, allowing operators to simulate conditions before implementing changes in the real world

The solution is expected to be particularly valuable for shipyards, fleet operators, and port authorities looking to enhance safety, efficiency, and training.

“By combining our capabilities with Niantic Spatial’s technology, we are bringing greater visibility and real-time intelligence to maritime operations,” said Dr Franco Gan, Founder and CEO of OculloSpace. “Maritime transport moves over 80% of global trade[1], and Southeast Asia sits at the heart of some of the world’s busiest shipping routes. Digital twins give operators the ability to monitor, simulate and optimise their assets with far greater precision; helping improve efficiency, enhance safety, and support the industry’s transition towards more sustainable operations.”

Beyond operations, the platform also supports training and workforce development. Shipyards and maritime companies can use digital twins to create realistic training environments, enabling crews and engineers to practise procedures and respond to simulated scenarios in a controlled, risk-free setting.

The partnership reflects growing demand for digitalisation across the maritime sector, as companies seek to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and meet evolving sustainability and safety requirements.

By leveraging its base in Singapore and regional presence, OculloSpace aims to support the adoption of digital twin technologies across Southeast Asia, strengthening the region’s position as a global maritime hub.
