Making the Impossible Possible: Brar’s & Trexo Robotics Are Helping Kids Walk

Published

on

TORONTO, April 8, 2025 /CNW/ – Brar’s joins forces with Trexo Robotics to provide a transformative gift of two Trexo Robotics gait trainers to clinics serving kids with mobility challenges.

Brar’s, a family-founded brand deeply rooted in community and tradition, is proud to announce its partnership with Trexo Robotics, a pioneering company dedicated to helping children with mobility challenges experience the joy of walking.

Through this collaboration, Brar’s is donating two Trexo Plus devices to two clinics, one in Vancouver and one in Toronto, to allow more children to have access to life-changing mobility technology.

Trexo Robotics was founded by Manmeet Maggu and Rahul Udasi, inspired by Manmeet’s nephew, Praneit, after he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Determined to give Praneit the chance to walk, they developed the first Trexo Home device, marking the beginning of a movement that has helped children with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, Rett syndrome, and other conditions.

More than a tool for movement, Trexo devices empower children with greater independence, improved health, and the chance to experience the world in a new way.

This partnership was born out of a meaningful introduction at the 2024 MBOT (Mississauga Board of Trade) Awards.

Trexo Robotics was honoured as Best Innovative and Tech Company of the Year, while Kiran Mann, CEO of Brar’s, was nominated as Businesswoman of the Year.  After the event, Brar’s and Trexo met to discuss collaboration opportunities.

As part of their commitment to making a difference, Brar’s has pledged to bring two Trexo Plus devices into clinics in high-demand, underserved areas.

These devices have enabled children to take over 110 million steps to date and counting. 

“We are incredibly proud to support Trexo’s mission and help provide life-changing mobility to children in need,” said Dial Pabla Owner & Founder of Brar’s. “At Brar’s, we believe in giving back to the community that has supported us for decades, and we hope these devices will make a meaningful impact on the lives of children and their families.”

“This partnership is incredibly special because it brings together two brands built on resilience, innovation, and family,” said Manmeet Maggu, Co-Founder & CEO of Trexo Robotics. “Watching my nephew take his first steps with Trexo was one of the proudest moments of my life, and we want every child to have that opportunity. With Brar’s support, we are making that dream a reality for more families.”

About Brar’s

Brar’s was built on the values of hard work, family, and perseverance—values that resonate deeply with Trexo’s mission. In 1990, Dial Pabla, an immigrant to Canada, took a leap of faith, purchasing a small samosa and sweets shop in Etobicoke with the hope of building a better future for his family. Through determination and the support of loved ones, that small shop grew into Brar’s, a beloved household name in South Asian cuisine. Today, as Brar’s celebrates 35 years of tradition, community, and culture, it continues to honor its legacy by giving back to those who need it most. www.brars.com

SSI SCHAEFER’s Four-Way Pallet Roaming Shuttle Is Expanding Warehouse Design Possibilities

Published

on

By

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For warehouse operators in South Korea, warehouse design is increasingly shaped by competing demands: making better use of available space, managing labor constraints and maintaining reliable operations without committing to automation that exceeds business needs.

The challenge is not simply to store more pallets, but to determine how storage capacity can be configured around the inventory characteristics and the movement the operation actually requires.

Rethinking the use of warehouse space

Warehouse capacity is often assessed by the number of pallet positions available. However, the same building footprint can support different storage configurations, each with its own implications for accessibility, material flow and operating requirements.

Four-way pallet roaming shuttles, such as the SSI Pallet Roaming Shuttle, use onboard multi-sensor navigation to determine their position, monitor their surroundings in real time, and accurately detect obstacles. This enables flexible pallet handling across multiple storage levels, opening up greater possibilities for high-density, single- or multi-deep pallet storage configurations.

For facilities where building expansion is restricted, the ability to use available space more effectively can be an important design consideration. With system heights of 24 metres and options for 40 metres subject to configuration, solutions like the shuttle allow warehouse planners to evaluate storage designs that make greater use of the space.

Matching movement capability to operational needs

The significance of four-way movement lies in the flexibility it introduces into storage design. This can be particularly relevant to manufacturing operations storing raw materials or finished goods, food and beverage distribution, and temperature-controlled warehouses where storage conditions and space utilisation are crucial design considerations.

The shuttle supports payloads of up to 3000 kg and uses RFID and photoelectric positioning, with a specified positioning accuracy of ±5 mm. Operating at a maximum aislewise speed of 1.5 m/s when loaded and 1.6 m/s when unloaded, it provides a technical basis for evaluating its suitability against a warehouse’s storage and movement requirement.

Automation solving the right challenges, at the right time

For South Korean warehouse operators facing a rapidly aging population and labor constraints, the question is whether automating pallet storage and movement will address a meaningful operational need. Suited to medium-to-low SKU ranges and lower-throughput applications, the SSI Pallet Roaming Shuttle is worth considering where frequent retrievals and reduced reliance on repetitive manual handling are priorities, rather than high-volume pallet retrieval.

“The value of warehouse automation lies in how well a system fits the operation it is designed to serve. More automation does not automatically mean a better warehouse.

The real measure of an effective solution is how well its storage density, retrieval capability and throughput match the operation’s needs. Investing in capacity or performance that the business cannot fully utilise—or sacrificing retrieval flexibility for density—misses the point of warehouse automation,” said Jeon Jae Beom, Head of Sales, SSI Schaefer Korea.

For South Korean businesses balancing space, labor and investment pressures, the key is to select systems according to its intended role in the wider operation, not on the assumption that greater automation will resolve every capacity or productivity challenge.

fileAI Signs Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS to Accelerate Rollout of Outcome-Driven AI Agents for BFSI Leaders

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, Oct. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — fileAI announced a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to bring a new suite of AI agents to banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) leaders—built to complete critical operational workflows, not just assist with them.

fileAI’s data intelligence platform, fileForge, transforms enterprise files into trusted, governed intelligence for AI workflows, pairing repeatable skills with business context to carry complex business processes through to completion. Built on Amazon Bedrock and available through AWS Marketplace, it provides industry leaders across Asia and the US direct access to outcome-focused AI agents backed by AWS’s security, scale, and infrastructure.

Two of the company’s latest innovations underpin this philosophy: fileScout maps files ahead of extraction, optimising model routing and drastically reducing token consumption, whilst fileForensics surfaces actionable fraud signals directly into the processing pipeline. Together they ensure only clean, relevant, fraud-checked data ever reaches the workflow. For AWS customers, that means faster cycle times, fewer exceptions, and less manual rework, with the governance and traceability regulated organisations require.

The SCA follows a period of strong momentum for fileAI. On August 27, the company announced investment from SMBC Asia Rising Fund and Singtel Innov8, alongside the debut of fileScout. The funding supports fileAI’s expansion in Japan, building on its June 2026 partnership with JRE Ventures, and deeper investment in financial services capabilities.

“Enterprise AI has to be judged on outcomes, not activity,” said Christian Schneider, CEO of fileAI. “By building on Amazon Bedrock and deepening our collaboration with AWS, we’re giving finance and financial services leaders agents that take their most complex data and carry the work through to a completed, auditable result. With AWS and AWS Marketplace, we can bring that to customers across Asia and the US faster, and with the security and scale they expect.”

“Financial services customers consistently tell us that getting unstructured data ready for workflows they can trust is one of their biggest challenges,” said Jamie Simon, Director, Partner Sales & Development, Asia Pacific & Japan, AWS. “fileAI has built a strong approach to that problem on Amazon Bedrock—combining document intelligence with the governance regulated enterprises require. This collaboration makes it easier for customers to move from AI pilots to production with confidence, and we’re looking forward to scaling it across the region.”

About fileAI

fileAI is the enterprise intelligence company behind fileForge, the leading platform for complex business process automation. Where most AI falls short in production, fileForge provides the structure, validation, and traceability that makes agentic AI reliable by design. It unifies data capture, preparation, governance, and orchestration into auditable, SOP-driven workflows that transform unstructured and semi-structured data into trusted, reusable process intelligence.

Trusted by global enterprises including MS&AD, Toshiba, PwC, KPMG, Nippon Paint, and Keppel, fileAI has processed over 1 billion files across finance, insurance, supply chain, healthcare, and core business operations—delivering governed automation and contextual reuse for the world’s most complex workflows.
