Performacentric Publishes Executive Research Report on Agentic AI in Business Operations

Published

on

FORT WAYNE, Ind., July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Performacentric, an AI strategy and implementation firm serving North American small and mid-market businesses, has released a new CEO-focused research report titled “Agentic AI in Operations: Driving Business Performance.” The report provides executive leaders with a practical, evidence-based guide to deploying agentic AI across core operational functions, including procurement, manufacturing, logistics, IT, and administrative workflows.

The report arrives as autonomous AI systems move from isolated pilots into mainstream enterprise adoption. Analysts project that nearly half of enterprise applications will include task-specific AI agents within the next year, yet most mid-market companies lack a structured framework for capturing that value. Performacentric’s report addresses this gap directly, combining real-world case studies with implementation strategies designed for organizations operating between $500,000 and $250 million in annual revenue.

The report documents measurable outcomes across six North American companies. Order.co achieved 100% end-to-end order automation across seven vendor platforms, reducing order processing time from hours to minutes. JADA Squad’s procurement AI delivered a 70% increase in cost savings and halved RFQ-to-decision time, with 90% recommendation accuracy. PrecisionTech Manufacturing reduced machine downtime by 35% and increased throughput by 28%. Industrial Corp reported a 60% reduction in operational costs and a 45% efficiency gain, supported by continuous 24/7 quality monitoring. Pegasus Logistics cut fleet maintenance costs by 50% while increasing delivery volume by 40%. A global consumer goods firm, operating through Sigmoid Analytics, achieved 70% faster issue resolution in IT and data operations.

“The data is clear: companies that deploy agentic AI in structured, outcome-focused ways are compressing cycle times, reducing costs, and scaling capacity without proportional headcount increases,” said Matthew May, Chief AI Strategist at Performacentric. “This report gives CEOs a grounded, practical framework to move from curiosity to execution, anchored in the kind of evidence that justifies board-level investment.”

Beyond case studies, the report outlines a phased implementation strategy covering high-value task identification, golden-path workflow design, validation and human oversight protocols, continuous performance monitoring, governance frameworks, and a KPI measurement model for tracking impact before scaling.

The report is available now at Performacentric.com.

AI Energy Pivot Complete: LIXTE Biotechnology Finishes Corporate Rebrand to NOMAD Power Solutions, Begins Trading Under Nasdaq: NMAD

Published

on

By

Issued on behalf of NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMAD), formerly LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIXT)

NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. has completed its corporate name change from LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. and begins trading today under the new Nasdaq ticker NMAD, marking its transition into the AI energy infrastructure equipment and services sector following its acquisition of NOMAD Transportable Power Systems

American News Group News Commentary

BOCA RATON, Fla., July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The artificial intelligence buildout has run headlong into a physical bottleneck: electricity. Data centers are demanding power faster than the grid can add it through traditional fixed infrastructure, and that gap is creating openings for companies that can deliver power on demand. Against that backdrop, the company formerly known as LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. has completed its transformation into NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMAD), a new corporate identity that reflects its move into the AI energy infrastructure equipment and services sector following its acquisition of NOMAD Transportable Power Systems.

Key Takeaways

The company has completed its corporate name change from LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIXT) to NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMAD).Common stock begins trading today under the new ticker NMAD on the Nasdaq Stock Market; shares under the symbol LIXT ceased trading at the close of market on Thursday, July 2, 2026.The new corporate identity reflects the Company’s transition into the AI energy infrastructure equipment and services sector, following its acquisition of NOMAD Transportable Power Systems.NOMAD introduced a mobile, utility-grade, truck-transportable battery energy storage system, providing instantaneous power to an electrical grid or facility and bypassing the months of construction typically required for traditional fixed installations.The Company is entering a sector populated by established public energy and storage names investors track, including Fluence Energy (Nasdaq: FLNC), GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV), Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE), and Stem, Inc. (NYSE: STEM), each distinct, far larger, and none a proxy for the Company.

A Biotechnology Company Reborn as a Power Company

The name change marks one of the more complete corporate reinventions in the public markets. Historically, LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. focused on the development of innovative cancer therapies and medical technologies. Following its acquisition of NOMAD Transportable Power Systems, the Company has repositioned itself as an AI energy infrastructure equipment and services platform and adopted a new corporate name and ticker to match. The Company has framed the move as a strategic transition aimed at the power and infrastructure requirements of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and hyperscale data center operators.

The Company’s common stock will begin trading today under its new ticker, NMAD, on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Shares under the symbol LIXT ceased trading at the close of market on Thursday, July 2, 2026.

“Our new corporate name marks an important milestone in the Company’s transformation, reflecting who we are today and where we are headed,” said Geordan Pursglove, Chief Executive Officer. “We believe the broad AI energy sector offers significant, scalable growth opportunities and tangible long-term shareholder value, as we address a multi-billion dollar rapidly growing marketplace.”

The Product: Power That Arrives on a Semi-Trailer

What NOMAD Transportable Power Systems brings to the Company is a physical product built for speed of deployment. NOMAD introduced a mobile, utility-grade, truck-transportable battery energy storage system. Its innovative mobile products provide instantaneous power to an electrical grid or facility, bypassing the months of construction typically required for traditional fixed installations.

The patented platforms are deployed on semi-trailers and serve emerging AI-driven applications, along with utilities, industrial operators, government agencies, and critical infrastructure providers, through equipment sales, rentals, and Energy-as-a-Service offerings. That model, delivering utility-grade storage that can be driven to a site and connected quickly, is what the Company argues sets it apart from the slower cadence of permanent installations.

Why Deployable Storage, and Why Now

The strategic logic rests on a mismatch that has become one of the central themes in energy markets: AI and hyperscale data center operators are driving power consumption at a rapidly growing pace, and existing grid infrastructure cannot always absorb that demand through traditional fixed assets alone. The Company’s mobile products are designed to provide instantaneous power to a grid or facility, bypassing the months of construction typically required for fixed installations, precisely when data center operators want new capacity fastest.

Founded in 2020, NOMAD is focused on supporting the rapidly growing power and infrastructure requirements of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and hyperscale data center operators. The Company is focused on capitalizing on the accelerating demand for reliable, scalable, and efficient energy infrastructure solutions driven by the global expansion of AI.

The Market the Company Is Chasing

The Company describes its opportunity as a multi-billion dollar, rapidly growing marketplace positioned at the intersection of the AI compute buildout and the demand for reliable, scalable, and efficient energy infrastructure. As NOMAD Power Solutions, the Company aims to capitalize on accelerating demand driven by the global expansion of AI. It is an ambitious repositioning, and the Company remains early in executing it.

The Public Companies Powering the AI Buildout

The Company is undergoing a corporate transformation and is not directly comparable to the established names below. These comparisons are for industry context only; each company pursues a different business model and operates at vastly greater scale, and none is a proxy for the Company or implies any partnership or comparable performance. The broader energy-for-AI theme has drawn heavy investor attention through 2026 as power availability has become a defining constraint on the AI industry.

Fluence Energy (Nasdaq: FLNC) is a global leader in grid-scale battery storage, pairing lithium-ion systems with AI-powered optimization software across dozens of markets. As one of the most visible pure-play battery energy storage integrators in the public markets, Fluence illustrates the scale of the grid-storage category that deployable systems operate within.

GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) is an electric-power company spanning generation, grid equipment, and storage, and has become one of the most closely watched names tied to AI data-center power demand, with its equipment deployed at large-scale AI campuses. GE Vernova reflects the heavy-infrastructure end of the power buildout the AI boom is driving.

Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) makes on-site fuel-cell power platforms that generate electricity at a facility, a bring-your-own-power approach increasingly used to supply data centers directly. Bloom offers a view of the on-site, deploy-where-needed segment of the market that shares NOMAD’s emphasis on speed and location flexibility.

Stem, Inc. (NYSE: STEM), an energy-storage company built around AI-driven software and services, pairs storage hardware with an optimization platform and service model. Stem illustrates the storage-plus-software and Energy-as-a-Service approach that overlaps with parts of NOMAD’s offering.

The Bottom Line

A completed name change is the start of a transformation, not the finish. NOMAD Power Solutions is a company in transition whose value now depends on building its AI energy infrastructure business, capitalizing on the demand its mobile products are designed to serve. But the thesis is timely and clear: the AI buildout has made fast, flexible, utility-grade power one of the most valuable things a company can deliver, and NOMAD is betting its truck-transportable storage sits exactly where that demand is most acute. For investors watching how the power bottleneck behind AI gets solved, the Company’s pivot is a concrete data point, with the NMAD trading debut and its execution the markers worth watching from here.

SIGNAL OVER NOISE

Signal over noise. Energy-storage, data-center, and AI-infrastructure headlines move fast, and the crowd often moves first.

SIRUI Releases Three New Lightweight Full-Frame Cine Primes for Vision Prime Series: 15mm T1.6, 75mm T1.4, 150mm T4 (1.5x Macro)

Published

on

By

LAS VEGAS, July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SIRUI Optics expands its Vision Prime full-frame cine prime lineup with three brand-new focal lengths: 15mm T1.6, 75mm T1.4, and 150mm T4 (1.5x Macro). The lineup now grows from the original 24/35/50mm T1.4 trio to six lenses, covering ultra-wide through medium telephoto shooting. This unified system delivers cinematic image quality, lightweight construction and interchangeable mount modules for professional filmmakers.

The Vision Prime series previously took home the “Best of Show” Lens Award at the 2026 NAB Show, recognized for its fast T1.4 aperture and user-interchangeable mount design.

From Grand Wide Shots to Ultra-Fine Macro Details

The 150mm T4 1.5x Macro stands out as a dual-purpose telephoto macro prime rare in lightweight cine optics. It delivers 1.5x reproduction ratio to capture intricate textures of tiny subjects—precision machinery, fabric texture, insect eyes—at a minimum focus distance of just 0.29m. Its natural telephoto compression also works well-suited for distant wide shots and intimate character close-ups.

The 15mm T1.6 offers a 109.3° diagonal full-frame field of view. With a fast T1.6 aperture and 0.3m minimum focus distance, it captures sweeping spatial depth even in tight spaces. The fast T-stop creates clean subject-background isolation and soft layered bokeh, a notable characteristic for ultra-wide lenses. Built with multiple aspherical elements, it minimizes aberrations and maintains sharp edge-to-edge resolution.

Tailored for portrait and commercial shooting, the 75mm T1.4 generates natural telephoto compression and smooth isolating bokeh to highlight subjects, ideal for narrative shorts and advertising productions.

Cross-System Compatibility & Streamlined Lightweight Design

All Vision Prime lenses feature SIRUI’s proprietary interchangeable mount system. Native Sony E-mount comes standard, with RF/Z/L mount modules included; no shims are required for quick switching. The full set works seamlessly with mainstream full-frame and S35 cinema cameras, offering greater cost-efficiency and versatility for multi-camera, cross-brand productions.

Optically, the new primes combine large aspherical, ED low-dispersion and HRI high-refractive glass elements. This compact optical layout suppresses distortion and chromatic aberration, delivering sharp resolution for 8K and higher resolution workflows. Minimal focus breathing and excellent distortion control align with professional cinema standards for seamless focus pulls.

Unified series features include matching gear positions and 270° wide focus throw for precise focusing. Filter thread sizes are 67mm for all models except the 15mm, which uses a 77mm filter thread, maximizing accessory compatibility. The lightest single lens (75mm T1.4 E-mount) weighs just 599 grams. Durable aluminum alloy housings are dust, stain and splash resistant, suited for studio, gimbal and documentary field shooting.

Pricing & Global Launch Info

New focal length pricing (USD):
150mm T4 (1.5x Macro): $649
15mm T1.6 / 75mm T1.4: $549 each
Three-lens kit (15mm+75mm+150mm): $1,499 – $1,899
Global release date: July 6, 2026. Two finishes available: matte black and gun gray.
