Grape Up Debuts Aiboostr at AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe: Govern Every Model and Agent – and Run Private LLMs-From One Control Plane

Published

on

An open-source AI governance and orchestration platform: one AI gateway, built-in EU AI Act compliance, and the option to run private LLMs entirely inside your own environment.

KRAKOW, Poland, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Grape Up will present Aiboostr publicly for the first time at AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe in Amsterdam (17-18 September). Aiboostr is an open-source-based AI governance and orchestration platform. It routes every model and agent an organization runs through a single AI gateway – one control plane with the access controls, audit trail and EU AI Act compliance governance requires. Private LLMs can run entirely inside the customer’s own environment.

Enterprises have largely won the AI adoption battle; few built the governance to match. In IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026, 68% of breached organizations had no governance in place to manage their AI, 92% of those hit by an AI-related breach lacked proper access controls, and AI-related breaches rose to 21% of all breaches, up from 13% a year earlier.

“Adoption was never the real risk, the governance gap behind it is,” said Roman Swoszowski, VP of Product Development at Grape Up. “Most teams can’t say which models and agents are in production, who’s using them, or what data passes through. A policy on paper doesn’t change that.”

A single AI gateway. Every model call, public or private, passes through one governed entry point, where access policies, rate limits, guardrails and a full audit trail apply per user, team and use case so governance becomes a property of how the AI runs, not a parallel system to maintain.

Private LLMs and AI sovereignty. Aiboostr also runs self-hosted, open-source models on the customer’s own infrastructure, a capability most SaaS-based governance tools don’t offer, so sensitive data never leaves the perimeter.

EU AI Act compliance, built in. A governed AI inventory, risk classification, log retention and continuous monitoring map to the AI Act, and the inventory stays current automatically because every call runs through the gateway. Compliance becomes a record of what happened, not a document assembled before a review.

By

Cylus.ai brings agentic intelligence to rail cybersecurity, working on top of the security tools rail operators already use. Former U.S. FTA Administrator Nuria Fernández, former European Union Agency for Railways Executive Director Josef Doppelbauer, and former VIA Rail President & CEO Mario Péloquin join the Cylus Advisory Board.

BERLIN, Sep 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cylus, the global leader in rail cybersecurity, today launched Cylus.ai and announced the appointment of three of the rail and transit industry’s most respected leaders to its Advisory Board: Nuria Fernández, Josef Doppelbauer, and Mario Péloquin.

Cylus.ai is an intelligence layer for rail cybersecurity. It brings rail-specific security expertise to the security teams defending rail networks, working on top of the tools operators already use to help them make sense of what they are seeing and decide how to respond, with a person always in control. Cylus.ai is built to close a widening gap: the systems that keep trains moving are more connected than ever, attackers are using AI to move faster than defenders can, and the pool of security professionals who truly understand rail remains small while regulatory pressure keeps rising. It puts rail expertise within reach of every team responsible for protecting these networks, without replacing the tools they already rely on.

Cylus.ai is built to work on top of the security stack an operator already runs, whatever that stack is. It integrates most deeply with CylusOne, Cylus’s flagship platform, which gives rail operators visibility into their operational networks and the threats against them. Cylus.ai turns that visibility into understanding and action. Together they cover the full picture, from seeing what is happening on the network to knowing what to do about it.

Amir Levintal, CEO and Co-Founder, Cylus:
“CylusOne gave the rail industry a level of visibility into its networks it never had before. Cylus.ai is the natural next step: turning that visibility into understanding and action, with rail expertise built in and a person always in the loop. Attackers are already using AI to work faster than the teams defending rail can respond, and rail cannot answer that with generic security tooling. Having leaders of the caliber of Nuria, Josef, and Mario join our Advisory Board tells us we are building what the industry actually needs.”

Cylus’s rail cybersecurity experts will be on-site throughout InnoTrans 2026, in Hall 6.1, Booth #225, for live demonstrations of CylusOne and Cylus.ai. Book a meeting with us at https://cylus.com/innotrans2026.

Three global rail and transit leaders join the Cylus Advisory Board

Nuria Fernández brings more than 35 years of experience leading some of the world’s busiest transit systems. She served as Administrator of the U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA), overseeing the federal programs that fund and shape public transit. Earlier in her career, she was General Manager and CEO of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), Chief Operating Officer of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), and held senior design-and-construction leadership roles at the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Her perspective spans policy, operations, and capital delivery at national scale. Nuria Fernández, former Administrator, U.S. Federal Transit Administration: “In more than three decades running transit systems, I learned that safety and reliability depend on the systems riders never see. Those systems are now more connected, and more exposed, than ever. What drew me to Cylus is that they understand rail as it actually operates, not as a generic network. I am glad to help them put that expertise in the hands of the operators who need it.”

Josef Doppelbauer served as Executive Director of the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA), where he led the agency as it became the EU authority for vehicle authorisation, safety certification, and ERTMS trackside approval. He brings more than 35 years of experience in railway technology, including signalling and control-command systems, earlier as Chief Technical Officer at Bombardier Transportation, and as chairman of the European Rail Research Advisory Council (ERRAC) and of the Shift2Rail steering committee. He offers a European regulatory and standards perspective to the board.
Josef Doppelbauer, former Executive Director, European Union Agency for Railways: “Railway users expect good quality of service with uncompromised safety and security, and that now means protecting the railway system from cyber-attacks as well. Interoperability and safety are the foundation of European rail, and cybersecurity is inseparable from both. To be effective against these threats we need a European approach, built in cooperation with the sector rather than imposed on it. Cylus has built its technology around how railways are actually run and regulated, and I look forward to helping shape what comes next.”

Mario Péloquin served as President and Chief Executive Officer of VIA Rail Canada, and brings close to 40 years of experience across the transportation and rail industry. Before leading VIA Rail, he held senior roles spanning rail safety, operations, and major project delivery, including positions with Siemens Mobility, Thales, AECOM, and the New York MTA. He brings deep operator and infrastructure-delivery experience to the board.
Mario Péloquin, former President and CEO, VIA Rail Canada, and Cylus Advisory Board member: “Passenger rail is modernizing fast, and every new connection we add to improve service also has to be protected. Operators cannot be expected to become cybersecurity experts overnight. Cylus meets them where they are, with tools that speak the language of rail. I am pleased to support that mission on the Advisory Board.”

ERAYAK Expands U.S. Branded Distribution and Unveils Roadmap From Portable Power to 30 kW-Class Hybrid Home Energy Systems

Published

on

By

Company advances multi-fuel inverter generators, high-power-density portable energy storage and complementary generator-battery platforms across Amazon, Walmart and direct-to-consumer channels

WALNUT, Calif., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ERAYAK Power Solution Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RAYA) (“ERAYAK” or the “Company”), a manufacturer and branded provider of power generation and power solution products, today highlighted the continued expansion of its ERAYAK-branded distribution network in the United States and outlined a broader product roadmap spanning portable power, multi-fuel inverter generators, battery energy storage and higher-capacity hybrid home power systems.

The strategy builds on ERAYAK’s experience in inverter technology, power electronics and generator manufacturing and is designed to create a scalable product platform extending from portable outdoor power to residential backup applications.

In the United States, ERAYAK is simultaneously expanding direct access to consumers through Amazon, Walmart Marketplace and its direct-to-consumer operations, providing the Company with a broader commercial platform for introducing its expanding power product portfolio.

Building a Multi-Channel U.S. Consumer Brand

ERAYAK’s U.S. commercial presence is being developed across three complementary online channels.

Amazon — ERAYAK products are offered to U.S. consumers through Amazon, where the Company has established experience selling its branded power solution products.

Walmart Marketplace — ERAYAK-branded products are live and searchable on Walmart’s U.S. Marketplace. The Company utilizes both Walmart Fulfillment Services and seller-fulfilled capabilities to support its developing presence on the platform.

Direct-to-Consumer — Through its own U.S.-focused e-commerce operations, ERAYAK is building direct customer relationships while maintaining greater control over product presentation, brand communication and the customer experience.

The Company believes this multi-channel structure can broaden consumer access to ERAYAK products, diversify customer acquisition and provide a stronger foundation for building ERAYAK as a consumer-facing power brand in North America.

From Dual-Fuel Portable Power to 30 kW-Class Tri-Fuel Home Backup

ERAYAK has developed a multi-fuel inverter generator portfolio designed to address progressively larger power requirements.

The Company’s dual-fuel inverter generator portfolio, including the 2400PD, 4500PD and 6800PD, supports gasoline and propane operation and is designed primarily for applications including camping, outdoor activities, recreational vehicles and portable backup power.

At the higher end of its current portable inverter generator portfolio, the 6800PT represents ERAYAK’s entry into a tri-fuel platform, adding natural gas capability alongside gasoline and propane.

Building from this platform, ERAYAK plans to focus its higher-power residential generator roadmap increasingly on tri-fuel inverter technology, with future product development extending progressively toward the 30 kW power class.

The Company believes multi-fuel capability becomes increasingly valuable as power requirements and outage duration increase. Natural-gas capability, where appropriate service is available and equipment is installed and operated in accordance with applicable requirements, can provide an additional source of extended-duration energy while reducing dependence on stored gasoline and repeated manual refueling.

ERAYAK’s development priorities for these higher-capacity systems include inverter-based power quality, multi-fuel flexibility, higher output and broader compatibility with residential backup applications.

Building a High-Power-Density Portable Energy Storage Platform

In parallel with its generator portfolio, ERAYAK plans to expand its battery-based portable power and energy storage product line.

At the portable end of the platform, planned products are intended to address applications including camping, recreational vehicles, outdoor work, mobile worksites and emergency field operations where users need quiet electrical power without operating a fuel-powered generator at the point of use.

ERAYAK believes the competitive capabilities of portable energy storage extend beyond battery capacity alone. Inverter output, surge capability, power density, thermal management and portability can determine which real-world loads a portable system is capable of supporting.

Building on the Company’s experience in inverter and power electronics technology, ERAYAK intends to emphasize high power density as an important product development direction — seeking to deliver greater usable AC output and stronger starting-load capability from increasingly compact and portable platforms while maintaining appropriate safety, thermal and reliability requirements.

The Company believes this approach can be particularly valuable for applications involving equipment with relatively high starting-power requirements, including certain power tools, mobile work equipment and emergency field equipment.

Rather than maximizing battery capacity alone, ERAYAK intends to optimize the relationship among power output, energy capacity, physical size and weight to increase the practical power capability of mobile energy systems.

Scaling From Portable Power to Residential Energy Storage

ERAYAK plans to develop its battery platform across progressively larger applications.

Compact systems are intended to serve individual users, camping and mobile work.

Larger systems can extend into recreational vehicles, campsites, remote worksites and other applications requiring greater energy capacity and AC output.

At the residential level, ERAYAK plans to develop higher-capacity inverter and energy storage systems, with the Company’s longer-term inverter roadmap extending toward the 30 kW power class.

This creates a product architecture spanning:

Portable Power → RV & Outdoor Work → Campsite & Mobile Power → Residential Backup

The Company believes a common foundation in inverter technology and power electronics can support product development across these different power classes.

Combining Generation and Storage Into a Hybrid Home Power Architecture

At the residential level, ERAYAK does not view fuel-powered generation and battery storage solely as competing technologies.

Instead, the Company intends to develop them as complementary components of a broader Hybrid Home Power Architecture.

Battery storage can provide quiet, immediately available electrical power for household loads, nighttime operation and shorter-duration outages without requiring continuous generator operation.

When an outage extends beyond available battery reserves, an outdoor multi-fuel inverter generator can provide longer-duration energy and, depending on the configuration of future systems, support replenishment of stored energy.

Under this architecture:

Battery storage provides quiet, immediate and high-quality electrical power.

Multi-fuel generation provides extended energy availability and fuel flexibility.

Inverter and future energy-management technologies provide the foundation for coordinating power sources, storage and household loads.

With both its higher-capacity tri-fuel generator roadmap and residential inverter roadmap planned to extend toward the 30 kW power class, ERAYAK intends to establish a technical foundation for increasingly integrated generation and storage solutions.

The long-term objective is to provide households with greater flexibility across quiet operation, immediate backup power, high-power loads, extended runtime and multiple available energy sources.

From Individual Power Products to an Integrated Energy Platform

ERAYAK’s product roadmap reflects a broader strategic objective: expanding from individual power products toward an integrated portfolio serving multiple levels of portable and residential energy resilience.

The Company’s planned product architecture includes:

Portable battery power stations for camping, outdoor and mobile work;Dual-fuel inverter generators for camping, RV and portable backup applications;Higher-capacity tri-fuel inverter generators for residential backup;Larger battery systems for RV, campsite and higher-load applications;Residential inverter and energy storage systems;Hybrid inverter and energy-management technologies; andRelated power conversion and energy products.

Over time, ERAYAK intends to pursue greater integration across these categories, creating a power ecosystem capable of generating, storing, converting and managing energy.

The Company believes its experience across generator manufacturing, inverter technology and power electronics provides a foundation for pursuing both fuel-based generation and battery-based energy storage within a common product strategy.

Building ERAYAK for the Next Stage of Growth

“Our strategy is not based on choosing between generators and batteries,” said Lingyi Kong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ERAYAK Power Solution Group Inc.

“Different applications require different forms of energy. For camping, mobile work and shorter backup requirements, users increasingly need quiet and portable stored power with sufficient output capability. When an outage continues beyond available battery reserves, multi-fuel generation can provide the endurance that stored energy alone may not provide.”

Kong continued:

“ERAYAK’s experience in inverter technology and generators allows us to approach the same challenge from both directions — how to provide more usable power in a portable platform, and how to combine stored energy with sustained generation at the residential level. Our long-term objective is to build a product platform that extends from personal portable power all the way to higher-capacity home backup energy.”

“At the same time, our expansion across Amazon, Walmart Marketplace and direct-to-consumer operations gives us a stronger connection with U.S. customers. As our product portfolio expands, we believe customer feedback, product development and brand building can increasingly reinforce one another.”

Strengthening North American Operations

ERAYAK’s U.S. market development is supported by its North American operating infrastructure.

The Company established Nexora Group Inc. in the United States to strengthen regional sales, marketing and logistics capabilities while supporting localized product development and after-sales service for customers in the United States and Canada.

ERAYAK believes the combination of local operating capabilities, diversified digital distribution and an expanding power product portfolio can support a more scalable North American commercial platform over time.

Establishing the Foundation for a Broader Power Ecosystem

ERAYAK views these initiatives as components of a broader transition toward a business model combining:

Manufacturing capability + inverter and power electronics technology + ERAYAK brand ownership + U.S. multi-channel distribution + multi-fuel generation + battery storage + hybrid energy management.

From compact portable battery systems to RV and outdoor power, and from high-capacity tri-fuel generators to residential energy storage, ERAYAK intends to develop interconnected product platforms addressing progressively larger power requirements.

Management believes developing these capabilities together can strengthen ERAYAK’s competitive position and establish a foundation for a broader power ecosystem.

The Company intends to continue advancing its product roadmap and expects to provide additional updates regarding business performance through its regular financial reporting and other appropriate public disclosures.
