Accuray and Samsung NeuroLogica Advance Volumetric Imaging Collaboration for the Accuray CyberKnife® Platform

Published

on

MADISON, Wis., Sept. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) today announced that it had entered into agreements with Samsung HME America, Inc., dba NeuroLogica Corp. (“Samsung NeuroLogica”) to pursue advanced volumetric imaging capabilities for the CyberKnife® System. The announcement coincides with the American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, where the companies are highlighting their collaboration. The collaboration represents another example of Accuray’s strategy to address customer priorities through targeted partnerships that bring together complementary expertise.

Accuray customers have consistently identified imaging capabilities that enhance treatment efficiency and informed decision-making as important priorities. Through this collaboration, Samsung NeuroLogica’s experience in mobile computed tomography (CT) and volumetric imaging will be coupled with Accuray’s expertise in precision treatment delivery, robotic radiosurgery, and motion management.

“When I joined Accuray, I spoke about the importance of bringing meaningful innovation to customers with greater focus and speed,” said Steve La Neve, President and Chief Executive Officer of Accuray. “That requires clarity about where Accuray should lead, where we should collaborate, and how we translate customer priorities into action. Our collaboration with Samsung NeuroLogica reflects that approach by bringing together complementary expertise to pursue opportunities that are expected to help address important customer and patient needs.”

Leading practitioners have emphasized to Accuray that volumetric imaging can enhance visualization of patient anatomy in the treatment environment and support future clinical workflows. The collaboration between Accuray and Samsung NeuroLogica is intended to pursue opportunities to bring additional imaging information closer to treatment decision-making while maintaining the regulatory rigor required in radiation oncology.

“We have long been interested in what volumetric imaging could add to CyberKnife’s non-coplanar treatment delivery and real-time motion management,” said Professor Nicholas van As, Consultant Clinical Oncologist at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and Chief Investigator of the landmark PACE trials, which have helped establish five-fraction radiotherapy as a standard of care for selected patients with localised prostate cancer. “Seeing the target and surrounding anatomy together at the time of treatment could help us make more informed decisions for each patient. Looking further ahead, this could open new possibilities for adapting treatment to the patient’s anatomy of the day, alongside real-time motion management during delivery. We are delighted that The Royal Marsden is the first centre worldwide to participate in this Accuray–Samsung NeuroLogica collaboration, exploring what Samsung’s volumetric imaging technology could bring to the future of robotic radiosurgery.”

“The potential of volumetric imaging alongside robotic radiosurgery extends across thoracic, abdominal and pelvic malignancies,” said Jonathan Lischalk, MD, Clinical Director of Radiosurgery at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and Clinical Associate Professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine, who will speak at Accuray’s clinical session at ASTRO on Monday, September 28. “For clinicians treating lung, pancreatic and prostate cancers, understanding the relationship between the target and nearby healthy organs at the time of treatment is central to the decisions we make. Exploring how additional imaging information could complement CyberKnife’s non-coplanar delivery and real-time motion management is an exciting direction. Looking further ahead, it could also open new possibilities for adapting treatment to changing anatomy. I look forward to discussing these clinical opportunities with colleagues at ASTRO.”

The feedback from leading clinicians reinforces the importance of pursuing innovations that can provide additional information at the time of treatment.

“Our team has spent years developing mobile CT, bringing imaging to the patient. The discussion with Accuray begins with a practical clinical need: better visualization of anatomy in the treatment room,” said Boris Geyzer, Head of Business, Mobile CT, Samsung HME America. “Samsung NeuroLogica brings deep experience in mobile computed tomography, while Accuray brings precision treatment-delivery expertise and a close understanding of radiotherapy workflows. By bringing these perspectives together, we believe that we can facilitate use of volumetric imaging to address meaningful needs in the treatment room.”

The Samsung NeuroLogica collaboration is one component of Accuray’s broader strategy to accelerate innovation and product development through a deliberate combination of internally developed technologies and strategic partnerships.

“Customers expect us to move with urgency while maintaining the discipline required in radiation therapy,” La Neve added. “We do not believe every capability must be developed internally. In many cases, the strongest path forward is bringing together distinct expertise around a shared customer or patient challenge.”

The collaboration will progress through phased development activities as the companies evaluate technical, clinical, and commercial opportunities. No commercial product offering has been announced, and future developments remain subject to ongoing evaluation and applicable regulatory requirements.

The announcement reinforces Accuray’s commitment to helping clinicians deliver highly precise treatments while advancing the company’s mission to expand the curative power of radiation therapy and improve as many lives as possible.

Supporting long-life programs with fixed-BOM storage solutions designed for demanding aerospace and space environments

ROSWELL, Ga., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — World Micro, a global distributor of electronic components and supply chain solutions, is highlighting its relationship with Flexxon and the company’s specialized storage portfolio designed to address a growing challenge across the aerospace and defense industry: maintaining reliable storage technology throughout programs that may remain in service for decades.

As major semiconductor manufacturers continue transitioning away from legacy NAND technologies, aerospace and defense manufacturers face a fundamentally different challenge than commercial electronics companies. Platforms with 10, 15 or 20-year lifecycles cannot simply redesign every time a storage component reaches end-of-life.

Through its relationship with Flexxon, World Micro can help customers address this challenge with storage solutions designed around long-term availability, fixed-BOM support and continued production of legacy formats. Aerospace and defense organizations evaluating NAND obsolescence, upcoming redesigns or long-term storage requirements are encouraged to engage World Micro early to explore available Flexxon solutions.

“For aerospace and defense customers, component availability isn’t simply a procurement issue—it can become a program continuity issue,” said Vladimir Prevot, VP of Supply Chain. “Our relationship with Flexxon gives us another way to help customers plan around obsolescence and support platforms with lifecycles that extend far beyond those of typical commercial electronics.”

Storage Designed for Long-Life Aerospace Programs

Flexxon’s approach to product longevity is particularly relevant to aerospace and defense applications, where qualification requirements, redesign costs and long program lifecycles make component changes significantly more complex.

Flexxon supports customers with fixed-BOM solutions extending beyond ten years and a commitment to maintaining products while customers continue to require them. This approach provides aerospace and defense manufacturers with an alternative to repeatedly redesigning systems around changing commercial NAND roadmaps.

World Micro works alongside customers to identify these requirements early, helping pair long-term component availability with broader strategies for obsolescence management, supply continuity and lifecycle planning.

Spotlight: Flexxon Radiation-Hardened Storage

One area of particular interest is Flexxon’s RAD-HARD NAND storage portfolio, engineered for aerospace and outer-space data applications where storage devices may be exposed to demanding environmental and radiation conditions. 

The portfolio includesFlexxon PCIe SSDs (HIX Series), eMMC (XTRA VII Series), and Memory Cards (FxAdv II Series). Depending on the product family, available capabilities include capacities up to 8TB, hardware power-loss protection, AES-256 and TCG OPAL data encryption, FIPS 140-2 certification, and extended operating-temperature support. 

Flexxon’s radiation testing addresses several conditions relevant to space applications, including Total Ionizing Dose (TID), Single Event Effects (SEE), neutron radiation and Total Non-Ionizing Dose (TNID), alongside temperature and vacuum testing. 

Potential applications identified by Flexxon include satellites, rovers, telescopes, defense and intelligence systems, weather sensors, communications infrastructure, GPS, IoT and 5G systems. 

Combining Specialized Technology with Supply Chain Support

For World Micro customers, the value extends beyond access to the technology itself. World Micro combines Flexxon’s specialized storage portfolio with supply-chain expertise supporting aerospace and defense manufacturers navigating component shortages, obsolescence, long-term availability and demanding program requirements.

Together, the companies provide customers with another option for addressing a question that is becoming increasingly important across long-life programs: How do you design today for technology that still needs to be available years—or decades—from now?

“Flexxon’s long-lifecycle philosophy aligns extremely well with the customers World Micro supports,” added d Dan Ellsworth, President & CEO. “When a platform has to remain operational for decades, continuity matters. We want to help customers identify technologies and supply strategies that can support the full lifecycle of their programs.”

Cox Automotive’s VinSolutions Embeds Fullpath’s AI-Powered Customer Data Platform Directly into Mutual Clients’ CRM

Published

on

By

ATLANTA, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cox Automotive’s VinSolutions, the industry’s number one CRM trusted by thousands of dealerships nationwide, today announced a milestone upgrade: All mutual Fullpath and VinSolutions clients will have an embedded Customer Data Platform (CDP) with AI insights built in, powered by Fullpath technology.

“Other CDPs are mostly focused on data ingestion, structuring and organization. With Fullpath’s CDP in VinSolutions, we put the power of that data directly in the hands of sales reps to personalize every interaction and close more deals,” said Paulo da Silva, VP of Digital Commerce, Cox Automotive. “What’s unique about Fullpath and VinSolutions is that the embedded CDP can also be upgraded seamlessly with Agentic AI capabilities to make that enriched data truly actionable.”

Dealers who run both VinSolutions and Fullpath already know the value of unified customer data. What’s new is where that intelligence now lives: directly inside the VinSolutions CRM record sales reps already use every day, not a separate screen to check. A marketing director can target shoppers who are in-market; a GM or GSM can see which deals are closest to closing; and the sales team walks into every conversation with AI-powered insights already on the record they’re viewing — no extra login, no separate tool.

The VinSolutions integration with Fullpath’s CDP provides three major value points for dealers:

One less system to log into: Their existing CDP instance is now accessible directly through VinSolutions.More customer context: The AI summary powered by Fullpath is surfaced in the customer profile, giving users additional insight at critical moments of engagement.Website activity in VinSolutions: Fullpath website data is now visible directly in the VinSolutions’s timeline.

“This release brings the industry’s most powerful first-party data and AI-powered customer intelligence directly into the CRM dealers use every day,” said Jessica Stafford, SVP of Consumer Solutions, Cox Automotive. “Capabilities that used to require a separate platform and a separate budget, are now built directly into the system they already know. Only Cox Automotive can deliver this supercharged value at scale.”

“Bringing Fullpath’s CDP intelligence directly into VinSolutions feels like watching two powerhouse digital platforms lock together,” said Don Erwin, Marketing and Communication Director for Mtn View Automotive Group, in Chattanooga, TN. “Suddenly, the customer profile isn’t just a CRM record — it becomes a living picture of that shopper’s journey, interests, activity and intent. This integration doesn’t simply pull back the curtain on the customer; it practically tears it away, giving our team a level of visibility we’ve never had inside the CRM before.” 

“The pace and depth of innovation that has defined Fullpath will accelerate now that we’re part of the Cox Automotive portfolio,” said Aharon Horwitz, CEO & Co-Founder, Fullpath. “Nobody else can pair our AI with data at this scale. That’s going to drive value for dealers — and for this industry — that no one else can touch. And this is just the first move. There’s a lot more coming from Cox and Fullpath together.”

The embedded CDP upgrade is being rolled out to all customers who have VinSolutions CRM and Fullpath through the end of the year. For more information, reach out to your Fullpath Customer Success Manager.
