BLUETTI Unveils Early Access for Apex 200: Next-Gen Versatile Power Station

Published

on

Bringing the versatile DNA of the Apex 300 into a compact 2.56kWh format that scales up to 100kWh.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In response to recent severe-weather outages, BLUETTI today opened early access to the Apex 200, a versatile portable power station built for home emergency backup, RV travel, and off-grid living. The new arrival packs BLUETTI’s signature modular expandability into a highly portable 2.56kWh format, empowering users to start small and scale as their needs grow.

A More Portable Path into the Apex Family

Building on the legacy of Apex 300, the latest Apex 200 extends the Apex series’ modular versatility into a more portable 2.5kWh-class format—allowing users to start small with essential home backup and scale up as their power needs evolve.

It combines 2,560Wh of LFP capacity with a 3.2kW–3.6kW standalone AC output (up to 3.6kW under select conditions); compatible expansion batteries can take a single unit up to 33.28kWh, while three units in parallel can reach up to 6kW and approximately 100kWh of total storage.

Apex 200 packs this combination of capacity, output, and expansion into a sleek 27kg (36.5L) enclosure, with 10 output ports—including four individually controllable smart AC outlets, a dedicated TT-30R RV port, and a 12V/30A Anderson port—for flexible use across home, RV, and off-grid settings.

“The Apex Series is rooted in a simple promise: people don’t have to overinvest upfront to secure high-performance energy,” said James Ray, Marketing Director at BLUETTI. “Apex 200 is our latest response, bringing the versatility of a full-featured, expandable power system into a more compact, portable format. Users can start small and scale as their needs grow.” 

From Essential Backup to Whole-Home Resilience

At the essential-backup level, Apex 200’s 3.2kW standalone output can support selected 120V loads such as refrigeration, lighting, Wi-Fi, and home connectivity. Adding B300K/B500K series expansion batteries extends runtime for longer outages, while a fully expanded single unit can reach up to 33.28kWh. For larger backup needs, up to three fully expanded Apex 200 systems can be configured in parallel via HUB A1, with up to 6kW of output and approximately 100kWh of total storage.

For extended outages, up to 3,000W of solar input helps replenish the system and extend runtime. Apex 200 also brings a first for BLUETTI with four independently controllable smart AC outlets. Through the BLUETTI App, users can switch each outlet remotely, set schedules, or apply SOC-based controls, making it easier to direct available power to priority loads.

Plug-and-Go for RV, Camping & Off-Grid Life

Tailored for life on the move, the Apex 200 features a built-in TT-30R port for travel trailers and a high-draw 12V/30A Anderson port to run DC appliances directly without conversion losses. For boondocking and extended road trips, Apex 200 can be paired with portable solar panels such as SORA 500 and Charger 2, the alternator & solar dual charger, to help restore power while driving on the road.

Apex 200 Early Access Open Now

Early-access registration for the Apex 200 portable power station is now open through November 4. Subscribers will get first access to early-bird pricing details ahead of launch and can also spin for purchase-redeemable rewards. Final pricing will be announced when the Apex 200 officially launches in the U.S. on November 5.

*Standalone output is 3.2kW continuous. The same single-unit system can deliver up to 3.6kW continuous with expansion batteries or active solar/AC input.

TAIPEI, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), expands its KBox F-Series with the KBox F-203-RPS and KBox F-204-RPS, two compact industrial computers designed to address diverse requirements in intelligent Industry 4.0, edge computing and industrial IoT applications.

Both systems are powered by 12th, 13th or 14th Gen Intel® Core™ i9/i7/i5/i3 S-Series socket-type processors with a TDP of up to 65 W and support up to 96 GB DDR5 memory, providing a scalable computing foundation for demanding industrial applications requiring flexible performance configuration and long-term deployment.

The KBox F-203-RPS offers two LAN configurations with either two or four GbE ports, allowing customers to select the connectivity level that best fits their applications. The dual-LAN configuration provides an efficient solution for general industrial computing, equipment control and edge applications, while the four-LAN configuration offers additional network connectivity for applications involving multiple devices or network segments, such as machine vision, industrial automation and IoT gateways.

For applications requiring greater system expandability, the KBox F-204-RPS provides one PCIe x16 or two PCIe x8 expansion slots, offering the flexibility to integrate graphics, networking, AI acceleration or other add-on cards according to specific application requirements. With support for up to four 2.5-inch SATA HDDs/SSDs, it also provides extensive storage scalability for data-intensive workloads. These capabilities make the KBox F-204-RPS particularly suitable for industrial edge computing, machine vision, video processing and applications requiring additional functionality or large local data storage.

Together, the KBox F-203-RPS and KBox F-204-RPS enable customers to select the configuration that best matches their requirements, from a slimmer, network-focused industrial computer to a highly expandable edge computing platform.

New offering gives developers, students, and customers access to the full power of Workato’s enterprise-grade engine to build AI agents and MCP servers

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Workato®, the leading Control and Execution Platform for Enterprise AI, today announced the launch of a new self-service offering that gives customers, developers, and students across Asia access to the Workato platform to govern and scale their AI initiatives, including building and productionizing AI agents and MCP servers.

Making AI accessible has been at the heart of Workato’s mission the past several years. Through the AI Institute Alliance, unveiled in September 2025, Workato partnered with leading institutes of higher learning across Singapore, including Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the Singapore University of Social Sciences, and the National University of Singapore. The initiative equipped students and educators with automation and AI skills.

The AI Lab, which opened a year later, extended that commitment further into the public sector through its partnership with EDB, and into inclusive hiring through SG Enable.

The newly launched self-serve platform will provide users access to:

A free account to start building immediately, with the option to upgrade to a paid plan, no contract required, as projects growThe ability to build recipes, Agents/Genies, and MCP servers directly on the platformThe same governed, enterprise-grade engine that powers Workato’s largest deploymentsA path built for independent developers, students, and small teams, as well as large enterprises

Since launching in 2026 in North America, Workato has seen rapid growth in the builder community. The platform is enterprise grade, but free to get started. As builders solve problems for their business, they can grow by upgrading to a paid plan. With this launch in Singapore, Workato is making an investment in the local builder community.

“The next era of AI won’t be defined by who has access to intelligence, but by who can turn it into action. We’re putting the same enterprise-grade power trusted by the world’s largest companies into the hands of every builder. We want everyone to be able to transform how their business operates,” said Rishi Mallik, Chief Growth Officer, Workato. 

Workato showcased its self-serve platform and broader community initiatives at World of Workato (WOW) 2026 in Singapore.
