New AI Capabilities in Oracle OPERA Cloud Supercharge Hotel Operations

Published

on

Embedded AI features empower associates to work more efficiently, standardize operations across properties, and elevate guest service

AUSTIN, Texas, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Oracle today announced Oracle OPERA Cloud Assistant, a new suite of AI-powered capabilities embedded directly within the familiar workflows of Oracle OPERA Cloud. These innovations help hoteliers automate guest room assignments, generate AI-driven rate descriptions that improve quality and consistency, and strengthen revenue management, while enabling staff to work more efficiently.

For example, instead of spending time searching through documentation or consulting a manager, associates can simply ask OPERA Cloud questions such as, “How do I run a report?” or “How do I resolve this guest issue?” to receive real-time guidance. Together with integrated AI language translation supporting global operations across 230 countries and territories, OPERA Cloud Assistant empowers associates to take action to streamline operations, and deliver better experiences to guests across regions.

All these capabilities are available today at no additional cost to OPERA Cloud customers worldwide. To see the OPERA Cloud platform in action visit HITEC booth #842 on June 15-18th.

“AI is reshaping how hotels operate and deliver great guest experiences,” said Scott Strickland, chief commercial officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Some of the most impactful innovations are those helping hoteliers make better decisions, reduce operational complexity, generate more revenue through upsells, and respond more effectively to ever-changing guest needs. With new AI capabilities embedded directly within Oracle OPERA Cloud, we’re helping franchisees and the teams that support them unlock new levels of productivity, consistency, and operational agility, all without disrupting existing workflows.”

Wyndham, one of the world’s largest hotel franchisors, currently has more than 2,100 properties running on OPERA Cloud. The addition of OPERA Cloud Assistant builds on a multi-year effort to integrate AI across the company’s ecosystem, reflecting its early focus on applying advanced technologies to help franchisees drive greater revenue and efficiencies amid a rapidly evolving hospitality landscape.

Embedded natively within existing OPERA Cloud configurations, revenue, and front desk workflows, the new AI capabilities simplify complex processes, automate routine tasks, and help hotel teams increase productivity, make faster decisions, and deliver more personalized service throughout the guest journey. By bringing AI into familiar workflows, Oracle enables hospitality organizations to accelerate productivity, standardize best practices across global operations, and improve business performance without adding separate systems, integrations, overhead, or training.

“AI has the potential to transform hotel operations when it is seamlessly integrated into associates’ daily work,” said Laura Calin, senior vice president, Oracle Consumer Industries. “With OPERA Cloud, users have a unified AI-enabled platform that streamlines operations, removes challenges, and helps staff make smarter decisions in real time. By reducing friction and automating routine tasks, hotel associates can focus on what matters most – delivering exceptional service.”

With the new OPERA Cloud AI capabilities, hoteliers can:

Empower employees with instant operational intelligence: OPERA Cloud Assistant provides hotel staff with real-time, natural-language access to operational knowledge, hotel procedures, and Oracle documentation. Whether an associate needs guidance on completing a night audit or navigating a system process, the assistant delivers immediate answers in the employee’s preferred language. This helps accelerate onboarding, reduce dependence on managers, improve productivity, and enable consistent service delivery during peak operating periods.Deliver personalized guest experiences through intelligent room assignment: AI-assisted room assignment analyzes reservation details, guest preferences, stay history, and operational parameters to recommend the most suitable room for each guest. By helping hotels better match guests with preferred room features, these recommendations can improve guest satisfaction, increase loyalty, reduce manual effort at the front desk, and enable faster, more seamless check-in experiences.Strengthen revenue optimization and pricing consistency: AI-generated rate code descriptions automatically create comprehensive, standardized rate content using package details, rate attributes, and structured inputs already available within OPERA Cloud. By improving the quality and consistency of rate information across distribution channels, hotels can enhance pricing transparency, reduce administrative effort, and support stronger revenue management practices across multi-property portfolios.Scale global operations with multilingual consistency: AI-powered translation generates ready-to-use translations for configuration descriptions and operational content, helping global hotel brands maintain consistent standards, terminology, and brand alignment across regions. These capabilities simplify global deployments and reduce the complexity of managing multilingual environments.

By combining operational intelligence, workflow automation, and AI-driven decision support within a single platform, Oracle continues to help hospitality organizations increase efficiency, improve profitability, and deliver memorable guest experiences that support long-term loyalty and revenue growth at scale.

Tencent Cloud and Teleport Collaborate to Advance AI-Powered Cross-Border Logistics from China

Published

By

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the 2026 Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit, Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Teleport, Capital A’s logistics venture and leading Southeast Asian eCommerce logistics specialist. Under the MOU, Tencent Cloud will provide the cloud infrastructure for Teleport’s operations in China, while Teleport will leverage Tencent Cloud’s artificial intelligence (AI) to build smarter, more automated logistics operations for cross-border movement from China.

The Teleport Network: Built for Cross-Border eCommerce

Teleport moves eCommerce and cargo on Southeast Asia’s largest air network, moving up to 1.25 million parcels a day across the Teleport Network, connecting China, Southeast Asia, Oceania and the Middle East by leveraging the freighter and belly capacity of over 55 airline partners. Operating at this scale demands seamless orchestration, which begins with ensuring every single parcel moves with verified, accurate data. The partnership with Tencent Cloud anchors shipment data on a reliable digital foundation from the first mile and ensures every subsequent process from customs clearance to mid-mile multi-airline transfers runs on timely, accurate information.

Supporting the Next Phase of Growth for Cross-Border Logistics

As global cross-border e-commerce accelerates, managing operational complexity requires moving beyond passively monitoring shipments. Backed by deep ecosystem experience in China and across global markets, the partnership with Tencent Cloud will make it easier for Chinese marketplaces, shippers and regional partners to integrate and collaborate seamlessly. This establishes a unified, single source of truth across the supply chain, giving Teleport, its airline partners and its eCommerce customers identical real-time tracking from origin to destination.

Accelerating AI Adoption Across Logistics Operations

Building on this Cloud data foundation, Teleport is exploring a suite of Tencent Cloud AI solutions to advance operational efficiency.

Tencent Cloud Agent Development Platform (ADP): Enables Teleport to build and deploy purpose-built AI agents across core operational workflows, including automated route optimisation, customs document processing, dynamic capacity planning, and real-time disruption recovery.TokenHub: Provides flexible access to different AI models, helping Teleport balance capability, responsiveness and cost efficiency across AI applications.WorkBuddy: Enhances internal operations and knowledge access through multi-agent workflows, enabling teams to collaborate more efficiently.eKYC & identity verification: Strengthens verification and onboarding workflows for cross-border merchants, air cargo partners, and ground handling agents, reinforcing compliance and security across the network.

Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President of Tencent Cloud and Head of Tencent Cloud International, said: “As cross-border commerce continues to create new opportunities across Asia and beyond, logistics providers are increasingly looking for technologies that can help improve efficiency, strengthen resilience and support growth across multiple markets. Through our collaboration with Teleport, we are combining Tencent Cloud’s infrastructure and AI capabilities with Teleport’s logistics expertise to help move the Teleport Network beyond visibility towards intelligent decision-making and execution, enabling greater operational agility across its cross-border logistics network.”

Milan Dhingra, Chief Product Technology Officer of Teleport, said: “Teleport will always be a physical air logistics business, but we run digital first. Therefore it is key that we work with the right partners in the right market where mission critical cargo data need to flow, where their expertise is unmatched. China has its own digital ecosystem and we wanted a partner that understands Teleport’s vision for seamless orchestration and intelligence while being purpose-built for local requirements. Tencent Cloud is that partner for us in China.”

Making the Teleport Network Smarter

This strategic collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advance the development of cross-border logistics through cloud and AI technologies. By pairing Teleport’s logistics expertise with Tencent Cloud’s infrastructure and AI capabilities, both companies aim to turn operational data into real-time, actionable intelligence across the Teleport Network enabling reliable, scalable eCommerce movement across the region.

Biel Crystal Named to 2025 Forbes China Novel Intelligent Economy Selection

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Forbes, the global business magazine, has named Biel Crystal to its “2025 Forbes China Novel Intelligent Economy Selection,” citing the company’s deep implementation and innovation breakthroughs in smart manufacturing and industrial large models.

Biel Crystal, a leading global provider of exterior structural components and module solutions for smart devices, operates nine smart manufacturing bases worldwide. It has more than 100,000 employees and annual capacity of more than 2.5 billion units. The company has fully deployed industrial AI large models using an architecture purpose-built for industrial scenarios, embedding industrial characteristics at the foundation and spanning R&D and design, manufacturing, finished-product inspection, operations management and maintenance services.

The most representative applications are in three industrial scenarios: production, R&D and quality inspection. In production, Biel Crystal has more tightly integrated machine learning with industrial simulation to enable automatic, dynamic optimization of coating machine parameters and automatic tool compensation for CNC machine tools, improving overall efficiency by at least 10%. In R&D, coordinated use of structural, fluid/thermal, motion and electromagnetic simulations allows product designs to identify and resolve more than 80% of potential problems during the R&D stage, cutting R&D cycles by 30% to 50% and reducing physical prototypes by more than 60%. In quality inspection, its self-developed automated optical inspection (AOI) technology combines multimodal inspection, few-shot learning and millisecond-level real-time feedback, lowering the missed-detection rate to 0.05% and reducing manual re-inspection workload by 50%.

Notably, Biel Crystal did not rely on general-purpose large models. Instead, it adopted an architecture purpose-built for industrial scenarios, embedding industry’s stringent requirements for real-time performance, determinism and reliability into model design from the ground up. The company says this ensures the models are “usable, stable and precise” on production lines and drives manufacturing from “single-point automation” toward “plant-wide intelligence.”
