Automotive tier 2 zinc die-casting manufacturer adopts cloud-based MES, QMS, EDI and analytics to provide real-time visibility, traceability and quality across a new greenfield facility

STOCKHOLM, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rockwell Automation, the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced that Zinkteknik, a global automotive tier 2 zinc die-casting manufacturer based in Sweden, has selected the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform to support a new greenfield manufacturing operation and establish a scalable digital foundation for future expansion.

Zinkteknik will initially deploy Plex manufacturing execution system (MES), quality management system (QMS), electronic data interchange (EDI) and analytics and operations (A&O) at its new Monterrey, Mexico, site. The implementation will be delivered in collaboration with Cumulus, a gold-level system integrator in Rockwell’s PartnerNetwork™ ecosystem.

“Zinkteknik approached this project with a laser focus on business outcomes from the very beginning,” said Sarah Dana, director of enterprise software sales, northern Europe, Rockwell Automation. “They wanted a platform that could support a new greenfield operation, deliver immediate visibility and quality control and scale globally over time. Plex was selected because it provides an integrated, real-time foundation that aligns with Zinkteknik’s operational priorities and long-term growth strategy.”

Zinkteknik is a family-owned manufacturer specializing in high-volume, high-precision zinc die-cast components for the automotive, electronics and industrial markets. The company operates advanced, highly automated production facilities in Sweden and Bosnia and serves customers worldwide with a strong focus on quality and traceability.

The Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform provides a single, integrated system of record that connects people, machines and processes across the plant and enterprise. With Plex MES, Zinkteknik will gain real-time insight into work in progress, material movement and production performance, helping teams make faster, more informed decisions. Integrated Plex QMS embeds quality checks directly into production workflows, supporting compliance with automotive standards and enabling closed-loop corrective actions.

Plex EDI will streamline communication with customers and partners, while analytics and operations capabilities will provide role-based dashboards and performance metrics to support continuous improvement initiatives. Because Plex is delivered as a cloud-native, single-instance platform, Zinkteknik can standardize processes across facilities while maintaining flexibility to adapt to local requirements as the business grows.

From Zinkteknik’s perspective, the decision to adopt Plex reflects a broader commitment to digitalization and operational excellence. By serving as the digital foundation for Zinkteknik’s new facility, the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform will help the company reduce manual processes, improve data accuracy and support faster ramp-up. As Zinkteknik expands its use of Plex to additional sites, the platform will enable greater alignment across operations, helping the company continue to meet the demanding requirements of the global automotive supply chain

As Thousands of New Therapists Enter Practice, INsightium Launches Platform to Strengthen Clinician Growth, Supervision, and Retention

Published

on

By

NEWARK, N.J., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Built by experienced behavioral health clinicians, agency leaders, and healthcare innovators, INsightium transforms everyday clinical work into continuous professional growth. The digital platform combines intelligent documentation, session-based clinical insights, supervision support, continuing education, and workforce analytics into a single system, designed to help organizations develop, support, and retain clinicians at scale.

The launch comes as behavioral health organizations face mounting workforce pressures, including turnover, burnout, and supervision constraints, as thousands of newly licensed therapists enter practice requiring additional support and development. For many organizations, the challenge is no longer hiring clinicians. It is developing them into confident practitioners and retaining them long enough to make an impact and stay within agencies.

“Behavioral health agencies are losing talented clinicians faster than they can replace them,” said Dr. Marlon Gray, Co-Founder of INsightium and founder of an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing behavioral health organization. “Most technology solutions focus on operational efficiency. We built INsightium to address the workforce challenge itself by reducing administrative burden, strengthening clinical development, and helping clinicians feel more supported in their work.”

Unlike traditional professional development programs that occur outside of practice, INsightium integrates directly into the clinical workflow. By connecting professional development to actual client work, INsightium creates a continuous learning environment where clinicians receive meaningful support between supervision sessions, while organizations gain visibility into workforce engagement, development, and retention risk.

The result is a scalable approach to clinician growth that helps organizations strengthen supervision, improve workforce engagement, and reduce costly turnover without adding additional administrative demands on clinicians or leadership teams.

“We cannot solve a mental health crisis with a burned-out and unsupported workforce,” said Dr. Juan Rios, LCSW, Co-Founder of INsightium and Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow at the National Academy of Medicine “INsightium helps clinicians continue to grow, feel supported, and stay in the profession longer.”

As behavioral health organizations seek sustainable solutions to workforce instability, INsightium offers a new model: transforming every clinical interaction into an opportunity for learning, growth, and professional support.

Lingokids Serves Up a Summer of Interactive Inspiration for Kids — Starting with Soccer

Published

By

LOS ANGELES, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Schools across the U.S. are letting out for the summer as weather warms up and players and fans from throughout the world come together for the greatest soccer competition on the planet. Lingokids, the No. 1 online entertainment platform for young children, has created two sets of interactive content to help kids 8 and under learn more about soccer and engage in safe summer fun.

Kids ready to discover what exceptional soccer players do to build teamwork and maintain healthy habits can explore and play the collection of lessons and games Lingokids created to coincide with the celebration of global soccer. In all, Lingokids has assembled a dozen soccer-themed puzzles, problem-solving games and skill-building activities for kids to enjoy during their online playtime.

Lingokids’ wide range of soccer-focused activities includes games that encourage kids to solve puzzles and gain spatial awareness, as well as help improve speaking and collaboration skills. The platform has also added “I Can Be a Soccer Player” to its Career Lesson series, which kicked off with a collaboration with NASA earlier this year and helps kids learn more about popular career paths.

“When children engage with a topic across multiple settings, it can spark a lasting passion,” says child psychologist Dr. Diana Barrett. “With soccer taking center stage this summer, screen time can become an opportunity to deepen kids’ connection to the game.

“Soccer themed puzzles, problem-solving challenges, and interactive activities not only build knowledge and enthusiasm for soccer culture, but also strengthen important skills that support performance on the field in-including visual attention, processing speed, spatial awareness, following directions, divided attention, communication, and collaboration,” Barrett continues. “By connecting learning and play, children can develop both a love of the game and the foundational skills that help them succeed as players.”

In July, Lingokids is also launching a collection of dozens of seasonal games and activities that help bring summertime fun to life and inspire kids to get outside and explore, create and try new things. Kids will find fun ways to try new foods, stay hydrated, learn what to do on a picnic, discover inspiration for building sandcastles and ways to enjoy long trips in cars or planes.

According to Lingokids’ recently released Kids Interactive Entertainment Report, 71 percent of parents say screentime can be enriching, and 82 percent say their child has learned from time using screens. And, approximately one-third of parents rely on screentime for ease of summer travel.

“We are all about quality screentime that kids enjoy and adults feel good about,” says Lingokids Global VP of Brand Maud Cariddi. “A key part of that is inspiring kids to explore the world around them after learning something new on our platform. Our goal is to entertain kids this summer, while kicking some personal development into the net as well.”

Find the Lingokids “Soccer Cup” in the “Worlds to Explore” section of the app, and watch for “Camp Lingokids” in July.
