AVEVA Expands CONNECT in India with New AI Capabilities to Accelerate Industrial Intelligence

Published

on

New AI capabilities empower local enterprises to safely scale operations, manage complexity, and drive sustainable growth.

MUMBAI, India, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, today announced a broad set of upcoming innovations for its industrial intelligence platform, CONNECT. Addressing the mounting challenge of data silos in the modern enterprise, the company is announcing a revolutionary industrial knowledge graph and a twin builder that applies agentic AI, slated for release in Q1 2027. By establishing a robust semantic model, this framework will act as the underlying architectural schematic that AI requires to deliver truly useful, accurate, and trusted outputs. Rather than feeding AI raw, disjointed information, this framework provides critical operational context by mapping the complex relationships between physical assets, empowering industrial teams to troubleshoot faster and make high-impact decisions with confidence.

The updates will make it faster and simpler for industrial organisations to put the full breadth of their industrial data to work, driving better decisions, stronger compliance, and AI-enhanced intelligent operations.

For industrial organisations, the pressure to adopt AI is intensifying, and so are the underlying challenges: complex regulatory environments, a growing sustainability imperative, ageing infrastructure and fragmented data. Today, up to 73% of all data collected within enterprises goes unused. Furthermore, 76% of business leaders report finding it difficult to understand their data. CONNECT bridges this gap by leveraging the cloud to empower ecosystems securely and seamlessly across the value chain, driving exponential business growth.

“For industrial enterprises globally, the challenge is not ambition but infrastructure,” shared Zubin Davar, VP – CONNECT Platform GTM. “The promise of AI remains largely unrealised for most industrial teams because operations data, engineering data, asset context, workflows, and compliance frameworks all need to be managed in one place without losing fidelity, lineage, or meaning. CONNECT is designed to close this gap across every layer of deeply heterogeneous industrial technology stacks. By lowering the cost and complexity of unifying industrial data, we help customers turn fragmented data into trusted intelligence, accelerating their AI-driven transformation.”

Accelerating industrial intelligence with customers and academia in India

Highlighting the strategic importance of the platform and its rapid adoption in the region, AVEVA announced the signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with leading industry customers, including Deccan Fine Chemicals (I) Pvt. Limited, and Reliance Power Limited, at the India CONNECT launch event held in Mumbai. These strategic agreements are aimed at accelerating the implementation of CONNECT by leveraging cloud capabilities to enable a secure, seamless, and collaborative digital ecosystem across the value chain, driving sustainable and exponential business growth.

In addition, AVEVA signed an MoU with VJTI’s Technology Business Incubator (TBI), VJTI is an autonomous institution of repute, owned by the Maharashtra State Government, reinforcing its commitment to academia-led skill development and innovation and supporting the creation of a future-ready talent pool to meet evolving industry needs.

“The announcements at AVEVA World, coupled with these MoUs signed at the India CONNECT launch, reflect our commitment to matching the depth and pace of progress Indian enterprises are making,” said Tarun Singh, Country Head, AVEVA India. “India’s industrial sector is scaling rapidly, and by embedding AI and intelligence deeply into industrial workflows through CONNECT, we are helping local organizations move faster, manage complexity, and operate with confidence.”

CONNECT: expanding the data and AI ecosystem

To build on this momentum, AVEVA’s industrial intelligence platform CONNECT is significantly expanding its integrations with leading enterprise data platforms, introducing key capabilities critical to driving industrial pipeline generation and enterprise-wide transformation. Central to this expansion is a new strategic integration and partnership with Snowflake. Utilizing a zero-copy architecture, industrial enterprises can now query high-fidelity OT data directly within Snowflake without the need to duplicate or move data, ensuring a single source of truth while dramatically lowering latency and integration costs.

AVEVA is also streamlining data management with the launch of CONNECT Flows (formerly Crosser). This introduces new stream analytics and integration capabilities that enable the seamless assembly and deployment of data processing pipelines for real-time edge-to-cloud cleansing, filtering, and transformation. Simultaneously, the platform’s cloud and AI ecosystem is scaling rapidly. AVEVA is launching multicloud CONNECT in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to offer customers unprecedented hosting flexibility. Furthermore, the company is forging a new strategic and technology partnership with IFS and launching Digital Twins for AI Factories in collaboration with NVIDIA and Schneider Electric.

Looking ahead, a major CONNECT release is planned for Q1 2027, bringing a range of new capabilities, including an industrial knowledge graph that makes it faster to construct, enrich, and operationalise digital twins. Slated for an Early Access Program opening this year, this knowledge graph is populated using a twin builder that applies agentic AI to propose intelligent mappings, aligning existing, fragmented data sources to a standard data model. This radically accelerates time-to-value while preserving information lineage and ensuring rigorous data governance so every decision can be trusted.

By bringing these advanced data management and AI capabilities to the Indian market, AVEVA is empowering local enterprises to overcome data fragmentation and safely scale their digital transformation initiatives. As India continues its rapid industrial expansion, CONNECT provides the secure, unified foundation organizations need to turn complex operational data into a strategic asset.

Werfen launches a campaign to thank healthcare professionals and laboratories as part of its 60-year celebrations

Published

on

By

Through the short film ‘Thank You,’ featuring real patients, the campaign highlights the impact of in vitro diagnostics (IVD), which plays a key role in 70% of medical decisions worldwide and is crucial to patient survival and quality of lifeThe launch coincides with the company’s 60th anniversary, consolidating a six-decade trajectory to international leadership across its five clinical areas of specialized diagnostics

BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) plays a crucial role in life-saving clinical decisions. To recognize and thank the healthcare professionals and laboratory teams who make this possible every day, Werfen has launched the ‘Thank You’ initiative. Launched on the occasion of its 60th anniversary, this is the company’s first corporate brand campaign centered entirely on its purpose of advancing patient care by delivering trusted and innovative specialized diagnostics.

Currently, IVD influences around 70% of clinical decisions worldwide, ranging from confirming compatibility in a kidney transplant to detecting chronic disease or monitoring patients during highly complex cardiac surgery. However, this analytical work largely takes place behind the scenes.

The central element in the campaign is a documentary short film, available at https://www.werfen.com/thankyou. With it, Werfen seeks to highlight the direct impact of having reliable and timely data, at the time of diagnosis and in the continuous management of diseases and people’s quality of life, focusing on improving patient outcomes through diagnostic precision.

The voice of patients and the true significance of diagnostics

The campaign gathers stories from real patients who have gone through complex health processes. Through their stories, patients express their gratitude to the healthcare professionals who interpreted their test results and provided the necessary clarity to determine the appropriate therapeutic path to manage their health.

Developed in collaboration with patient associations and non-profit organizations, the initiative gives visibility to the relevance of diagnostics in more than a dozen pathologies such as lupus, thalassemia, hemophilia, thrombosis episodes, rheumatoid arthritis, complex cardiac surgery, or kidney and liver transplants. All of them are severe medical conditions that represent Werfen’s five highly specialized clinical areas: Hemostasis, Acute Care Diagnostics, Transfusion, Autoimmunity, and Transplant.

In the words of Alejandro Risso, CEO of Werfen: “Sixty years ago, Werfen was born with a calling to stand alongside healthcare professionals in moments that mark a before and after in patients’ lives. Our responsibility is to provide maximum analytical precision so that professionals can make decisions with total confidence when it matters most.” To this, he adds: “Behind every diagnosis there is knowledge, experience, precision and, above all, people committed to improving and saving lives. With this campaign we want to bring these professionals to the forefront and thank them for a work that, after 60 years, continues to give meaning to ours.”

Six decades of commitment to specialized diagnostics

The campaign launch takes place during the company’s 60-year anniversary. Founded in Barcelona in 1966, Werfen has evolved to establish itself as a multinational group specialized in IVD, with presence in more than 30 countries, as well as its own R&D capacity and production centers in Europe and the United States.

Throughout this time, the company has strengthened its international presence through direct commercial expansion in key markets such as the United States and China, coupled with the progressive integration of specialized firms in its different clinical areas. This process culminated in 2024 with the strategic decision to concentrate all its resources and research on in vitro diagnostics, thereby reaffirming its commitment to continue providing greater certainty to the scientific and medical community.

Innovation has been one of Werfen’s pillars throughout its 60-year history. As a result of this commitment, in 2025 the company allocated 190 million euros to research and development to continue driving advances in the science of in vitro diagnostics.

In a field where scientific rigor, clinical relevance, and reliability are fundamental, Werfen combines innovation, experience, and talent to offer more effective diagnostics that help laboratories, hospitals, doctors, and healthcare professionals make better clinical decisions and improve people’s quality of life.

CodeWall Accelerates Expansion, Names Former Orca Security VP as CTO

Published

By

CodeWall is scaling its engineering team and autonomous attack platform with an ambition to make offensive security as fundamental as firewalls and endpoint protection.

LONDON, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CodeWall is accelerating its expansion to make autonomous offensive security a permanent enterprise capability. Following its $4 million pre-seed round, the company is scaling engineering and expanding what its autonomous attack agents can investigate, today announcing former Orca Security VP of Engineering Peter Spellward as Chief Technology Officer to lead that effort.

Spellward brings experience building security technology and the organisations behind it. At cloud security unicorn Orca Security, he served as VP of Engineering, led UK research and development and helped scale its engineering organisation. He also co-founded Innovode, whose technology was acquired by CloudLock, subsequently acquired by Cisco.

“AI is giving attackers extraordinary speed and reach. We’re building to put that advantage in the hands of enterprise security teams,” said Paul Price, founder and CEO of CodeWall. “We intend to move aggressively: hire exceptional engineers, expand what our agents can take on and bring this capability to more enterprises. Peter brings experience building the products and engineering organisations that make that expansion possible.”

Spellward leads technology strategy and engineering, with a focus on accelerating delivery, broadening platform coverage and strengthening how agents coordinate complex investigations.

“The engineering challenge is to turn sophisticated attacker behaviour into a capability enterprises can depend on continuously,” said Peter Spellward, CTO of CodeWall. “That means agents that can safely reason through unfamiliar systems, build on each other’s discoveries and produce evidence defenders can trust. We’re building the team and architecture to deliver that at scale.”

CodeWall’s agents investigate enterprise environments from an external attacker’s perspective. They share discoveries and follow weaknesses across connected systems to establish what could actually be compromised, supporting continued investigation and retesting as customer environments change.

The company is already working with large banks and fintech firms, including Axos Financial, to deliver autonomous offensive testing and verified evidence of exploitable attack paths.

“Every enterprise will have an attacker working for it. It will be as essential as a firewall or endpoint protection,” added Price. “We intend to make CodeWall the standard. That’s the scale we’re hiring for, building for and going after.”
