Industry-Leading Platform Evolves to Deliver Compounding Intelligence for Mission-Critical Operations

SINGAPORE, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Univers today unveiled the next generation of its industry-leading platform suite: a Platform for Physical AI that enables enterprises to govern, optimize and increasingly automate mission-critical operations across energy, building, transportation, logistics and industrial systems.

Industries are seeking to strengthen competitiveness amid rising energy demands, industrial transformation and the rapid emergence of generative and agentic AI. Organizations face a critical challenge: deploying AI reliably in the physical world, where operational decisions have more pronounced real-world consequences. But for leaders who act with urgency, this moment presents an unprecedented opportunity to build intelligence that compounds over time and becomes a lasting source of competitive advantage.

Built on close to a decade of experience managing complex infrastructure and energy ecosystems, the Univers Platform for Physical AI transforms fragmented operational data into coordinated intelligence across assets, facilities, energy systems and business operations.

Unlike AI systems designed primarily for digital workflows, the Univers Platform for Physical AI is purpose-built for physical operations. It models the relationships between assets, energy flows, operational constraints and business objectives, enabling enterprises to deploy generative, agentic and autonomous AI with the governance, reliability and domain expertise required for high-stakes environments.

Today, Univers supports some of the world’s largest energy, infrastructure and industrial organizations, orchestrating hundreds of millions of connected assets and managing complex operational workflows across multiple markets. The platform enables organizations to optimize and orchestrate operational activities, infrastructure performance and energy resilience in real time.

Univers combines deep expertise in AI, energy and operations to help organizations unlock greater value from existing infrastructure while accelerating their journey toward autonomous operations.

“We are entering an era where defensible business advantage will increasingly be determined by how intelligently organizations operate their physical assets, infrastructure and human capital,” said Chun Yin Mak, Senior Vice President, Univers. “The opportunity is no longer simply adopting AI. It is systematically building compounding intelligence that allows enterprises to continuously learn, adapt and automate mission-critical decisions with confidence. Organizations that begin this journey today will create their own market-leading trajectory for the future.”

As industries modernize infrastructure, industrial operations and energy systems, Univers believes the next generation of market leaders will be those that successfully combine domain expertise, operational intelligence and AI into a continuously improving system of action. The Univers Platform for Physical AI provides the foundation for such enterprises to sense, decide and act across the physical world at scale.

About Univers

Univers operates one of the world’s largest real-time intelligence platforms for physical infrastructure, managing more than 1,000 GW of energy assets and connecting over 400 million devices globally. Through its Platform for Physical AI, Univers helps organizations orchestrate complex energy, infrastructure and operational systems with intelligence that continuously learns and improves over time.

Effective immediately, Jeff Allyn has joined the organization as Chief Client Officer, Enterprise Solutions, a newly created division within NAHQ, and Tanya Dilulio has been named Chief Operating Officer. Together, the appointments reinforce NAHQ’s commitment to scaling its impact across healthcare organizations while strengthening the operational and enterprise-level capabilities needed to meet growing demand for workforce solutions.

DiIulio joined NAHQ in 2025 to lead product strategy and operations before quickly assuming broader leadership responsibilities across corporate strategy, innovation, information technology, and talent development. Her appointment reflects both her demonstrated ability to lead complex organizational transformation and her proven success building alignment across the company.

She has earned the trust of our organization through both her leadership and her unwavering commitment to continuous improvement.”
