New episode examines how continuous learning, career mobility, and human-centered leadership are shaping the future of the security workforce

PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Securitas USA announced the release of a new Security Connected: North America webcast/podcast episode focused on workforce education, career development, and the evolving role of frontline security professionals in an increasingly technology-driven industry.

The episode features Chrissy Toskos, Chief People & Experience Officer at Securitas, alongside Bijal Shah, CEO of Guild, discussing the recently announced partnership between Securitas and Guild to expand access to education, upskilling, and career pathways for frontline employees across North America.

As the security industry continues to evolve through advancements in data, intelligence, and technology, the conversation explores why organizations must invest not only in systems but in the people responsible for protecting communities, infrastructure, and businesses every day.

The discussion highlights how the partnership is designed to remove barriers to education while helping employees build durable skills such as critical thinking, communication, adaptability, and leadership. The episode also examines how workforce development is becoming increasingly tied to resilience, retention, and long-term organizational growth.

“When you think about education as infrastructure, you realize that our talent and our people are our primary infrastructure,” said Chrissy Toskos, Chief People & Experience Officer at Securitas. “As our industry evolves, continuous learning becomes essential, not just for career growth, but for helping people build confidence, adaptability, and long-term opportunity.”

Throughout the episode, Toskos and Shah discussed how the future of security depends on balancing technology with human expertise.

By

Collaboration combines Emissary’s AI platform with Bitwise’s AI-First data and digital engineering expertise to help enterprises reduce AI costs by up to 30%, improve governance, and accelerate production-scale AI adoption.

CHICAGO and PUNE, India, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bitwise, an AI-First data and digital engineering enterprise, today announced a strategic partnership with Emissary, an AI platform specializing in intelligent model routing, purpose-tuned models, and AI cost optimization.

As organizations move AI initiatives from pilots to enterprise-scale deployment, many face growing challenges around performance, governance, and rising infrastructure costs. Through this partnership, Bitwise and Emissary will combine purpose-built AI capabilities with enterprise-scale engineering expertise to help organizations optimize AI economics, accelerate deployment, and govern AI more effectively.

Raman Sapra, Global Chief Executive Officer, Bitwise

” As AI adoption scales, organizations need greater control over cost, governance, and business outcomes. Together with Emissary, we are helping enterprises optimize AI economics and operationalize AI at scale. By combining purpose-built AI capabilities with our AI-First data and digital engineering expertise, we are helping clients Engineer Their AI Advantage.”

The joint solution is designed to help enterprises reduce AI infrastructure and inference costs by up to 30%, while providing greater visibility, governance, and accountability of AI investments through enterprise AIFinOps capabilities. At the core of the partnership is a shared focus on AI tokenomics: helping enterprises understand, optimize, and govern token consumption so AI costs scale in line with business value rather than usage volume alone.

The partnership is designed to help organizations move beyond AI experimentation and establish a scalable foundation for production-grade AI adoption. Joint capabilities include:

Tokenomics Optimization: Modeling, managing, and continuously improving AI unit economics as usage scales.

Intelligent Model Routing: Directing workloads to the most appropriate model to optimize performance and cost.

Purpose-Tuned and Fine-Tuned SLMs: Enabling rapid development of small task-specific AI models designed for improved efficiency and business relevance.

AIFinOps for Enterprise AI: Bringing forecasting, visibility, governance, and accountability to AI spend across the organization.

Tanmay Chopra, Chief Executive Officer, Emissary

“Not every task requires a frontier model, and paying frontier-model prices for every workload doesn’t scale. Emissary helps organizations optimize AI performance and economics through a cascaded approach of intelligent model routing, small purpose-tuned models, and disciplined tokenomics. Together with Bitwise, we can help enterprises deploy these capabilities at production scale and realize business value faster.”

The partnership is particularly relevant for organizations in financial services, insurance, retail, healthcare, and other regulated industries seeking to scale AI while maintaining cost control, governance, and operational discipline.

By combining Emissary’s AI platform with Bitwise’s AI-First data and digital engineering expertise, the companies will help enterprises move from AI experimentation to production-scale value while improving AI economics, governance, and operational efficiency, enabling them to truly Engineer Their AI Advantage.

Harvey Unveils SNIPER: The World’s First Intelligent Drill Press

Published

on

By

New Intelligent Drill Press uses advanced computer vision, robotic motion control, and the Proactive Safety Protection System to eliminate the alignment, accuracy, and safety problems that have defined drill press work for generations.

LOS ANGELES, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Harvey Woodworking, a leading manufacturer of precision woodworking machinery, today launched SNIPER, the industry’s first Intelligent Drill Press — combining advanced computer vision, dual-axis robotic positioning, and the Proactive Safety Protection System in one integrated platform.

SNIPER is engineered to solve the three problems that have plagued drill press users for generations: cumbersome bit alignment, inaccurate positioning, and operator safety. Where every drill press built in the last century has been passive — relying on the operator to measure, mark, align, and correct by hand — SNIPER actively partners with the woodworker, recognizing the intended drilling point and automatically positioning the spindle over the target.

“Woodworkers shouldn’t have to spend their best hours fighting the machine for accuracy,” said Jack Xu, Founder of Harvey. “A single misaligned hole can ruin a $2,000 walnut tabletop. With SNIPER, we set out to make the machine serve the craft — not interrupt it.”

Three breakthrough technologies in one machine

Sniper Vision™ Targeting System identifies the user’s intended drilling point in real time, replacing the manual cycle of measuring, marking, and test-drilling that consumes most drill press setup time.

Robotic Dual-Axis Servo Motion Platform automatically positions the spindle on the X and Y axes with repeatable accuracy — delivering consistent results across cabinet hardware, shelf pins, dowel joinery, and custom furniture runs.

Proactive Safety Protection System uses vision-based monitoring to watch the danger zone around the spindle. When a hand is detected in the unsafe region, the system pauses operation or triggers a hardware-level safety stop.

Together, these systems form what Harvey calls an Embodied Intelligence approach — capability built into the motion of the tool itself.

Pricing and availability

SNIPER is built for professional woodworkers, custom furniture shops, cabinet makers, and advanced hobbyists. Now on sale for $6,790.00 at harveywoodworking.com/products/sniper-sd-20-intelligent-drill-press and through authorized dealers.

ABOUT HARVEY

Harvey builds high-performance woodworking machinery for serious craftsmen, custom furniture makers, and modern workshops, with a focus on precision, innovation, and user-centered engineering. Learn more at www.harveywoodworking.com.
