Another World’s First: INNIO Receives ‘H2-Readiness’ Certification from TUV SUD for Engine Power Plant Concept

JENBACH, AUSTRIA, Oct 12, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The INNIO Group (INNIO*) has received “H2-Readiness” certification from TÜV SÜD for its Jenbacher* engine power plant concept. This certification highlights how an investment in hydrogen-ready Jenbacher cogeneration systems is an investment in a clean energy future. The concept enables both the conversion of existing Jenbacher power plants to hydrogen (H2) and the planning of new hydrogen-ready Jenbacher power plants. As a result, they can make an important contribution to a secure, affordable, and climate-friendly supply of power and heat.

Offering communities and companies a high degree of investment security, this first stage of TÜV SÜD certification attests the “H2-Readiness” of INNIO’s plant concept based on the Jenbacher Type 4 and 6 product lines. INNIO is the world’s first company to offer energy solutions based on an “H2-Readiness” concept certified by TÜV SÜD for new engine power plants and for converting existing power plants to run on 100% hydrogen.

“We are ‘Ready for H2,’ and the independent certification from TÜV SÜD provides even more investment security for companies and municipalities,” said Dr. Andreas Kunz, chief technology officer of the INNIO Group. “Hydrogen-ready energy solutions secure our energy supply of tomorrow.”

“Our ‘H2-Readiness’ certification guideline enables engine manufacturers, plant operators, and insurers to apply a standardized and transparent evaluation framework,” said Ferdinand Neuwieser, CEO of TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH. TÜV SÜD took the contributions of the INNIO Group’s experts and other key players in the industry into account in a peer-review process to develop the certification guideline.

The certification covers a complete engine power plant with all relevant subsystems. It does not refer exclusively to new “H2-Ready” engine power plants, but also defines a roadmap for retrofitting existing plants – from gradual admixing to pure hydrogen operation.

TÜV SÜD’s certification of an “H2-Ready” engine power plant consists of three stages and three corresponding certifications: During the bidding phase, a Concept Certification is issued for the conceptual design including all boundary conditions. INNIO is the first manufacturer worldwide to receive this Concept Certificate. In the implementation phase of a specific project, a Project Certificate is issued based on the final plant design and its specifications. Finally, a Transition Certificate evaluates the conversion/retrofitting of an existing engine power plant to hydrogen operation. This third stage also includes a review of the retrofit measures and their impact on safety and performance. The certification offered by TÜV SÜD can be applied to a wide range of engine power plants.

INNIO is a pioneer in the field of hydrogen with its technology designed for gas and hydrogen mixtures. With its Jenbacher “Ready for H2″** technology, INNIO is also one of the first companies to offer engines in the 1 MW class that can operate on 100% hydrogen. As of 2025, the entire Jenbacher product portfolio will be rolled out for operation with 100% hydrogen. Due to their huge operational flexibility and short start-up times, Jenbacher energy solutions are essential for stabilizing energy systems that are increasingly dependent on volatile renewable energy sources.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), while opening the high-level meeting in Nusa Dua, Bali, on Wednesday, highlighted that all archipelagic and island countries, whether large or small, developed or developing, are facing challenges, such as rising sea levels, marine resource management, and marine pollution.

“If we throw rubbish on land, it does not necessarily mean that the rubbish will move to land in another part of the world. However, if we throw rubbish into the ocean, the rubbish can reach any land in the world,” he said.

The president deemed collaboration and solidarity between archipelagic and island countries crucial to creating strategic, concrete, and tactical measures for tackling shared problems. The high-level meeting is deemed an important opportunity to set the direction of collaboration going forward.

In this regard, he encouraged three aspects to be advanced: solidarity, equality, and inclusivity as principles that must be held together; priority on concrete cooperation that is adjusted to the needs of beneficiary countries; and third, robust and dynamic cooperation framework to respond to challenges going forward.

“Indonesia would like to invite all countries that are present; let us continue to choose to continue to build unity and continue to build collaboration even amid a divided world condition. Let us walk and work together,” Jokowi stated.

On that occasion, President Jokowi noted that Indonesia has also continued to echo the interests of archipelagic and developing countries at various international forums, such as in the 2022 G20 Summit, the 2023 ASEAN Summit, and the 2023 AIS Forum high-level meeting. “Indonesia is also committed to preparing grant funds to be used for the interests of archipelagic countries and developing countries,” he said.

At a press conference held after the meeting, President Jokowi highlighted that developing and archipelagic countries have the same right to advance and carry out development. He also affirmed that Indonesia, as a maritime nation, would continue to be at the forefront of supporting the AIS Forum as an inclusive cooperation of archipelagic and island countri For Indonesia, the sea is not a divider; but instead, the sea is a uniter,” he remarked.

Indonesia is hosting the 1st High-Level Meeting of the AIS Forum, which is attended by 32 countries out of 51 AIS countries and four international organizations. The high-level meeting raises the themes of the Blue Economy; Our Ocean, Our Future; and Solidarity.

At the head-of-state level, Indonesia noted the participation of President of the Federated States of Micronesia Wesley Simina, Prime Minister of Timor-Leste Xanana Gusmao, the Premier of Niue Dalton Tagelagi, Prime Minister of São Tomé and Príncipe Patrice Emery Trovoada, and Prime Minister of Tuvalu Kausea Natano. Deputy Prime Minister of Fiji Manoa Seru Nakausabaria Kamikamica and Deputy Prime Minister of Tonga Samiu Kuita Vaipulu were also in attendance at the meeting.

Meanwhile, delegations of other countries are led by ministers, deputy ministers, high-ranking officials, and ambassadors during the high-level meetings.

Balancing risk and rewards of AI the key agenda of tech leaders at Tech Week Singapore

Singapore, Oct 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced a breakout year in 2023. The rapid democratisation of AI is leading to a surge in wide-spread adoption across industries, with many companies integrating the burgeoning technology into their products. However, the brave new world of AI brings about new challenges such as cybersecurity, sustainability and ethical concerns. Balancing the risks and rewards of AI was one of the hottest topics at Tech Week Singapore, Asia’s leading technology event organised by CloserStill Media. More than 600 technology pioneers, leading businesses, and public leaders convened to discuss the complexities of AI.

“In 2022, the world woke up to ChatGPT, and for many of us, this moment ushered in a new era for Generative AI,” remarked Dr. Aik Beng Ng, Regional Manager of NVIDIA AI Technology Centre. “We are just beginning to realise the true potential of AI where it meets the physical world. Currently the AI experience is very much digital. The next generation of AI is where AI meets the full extent of every industry out there such as transportation, manufacturing, and more.”

However, the benefits of AI are matched with threats in equal measure. Dr. Magda Chelly, Co-founder of Responsible Cyber, said: “On one hand, AI technologies have the potential to amplify cyberthreats, weaving a web of complexities, including its usage by various stakeholders in an ecosystem. This phenomenon would raise exponential risks, and might create a domino effect when a cyberattack or data breach happens. Such a scenario might not only lead towards a disruption but a full-scale interruption within a wider supply chain and ecosystem.”

She added: “Yet, we also see an unparalleled opportunity for AI to bolster our cyber defences, especially when incorporated into data analysis and process optimisation. By embracing AI in cybersecurity and third-party risk management strategies, businesses gain a clearer visibility into the cascading risks in their ecosystems. It’s crucial to understand that AI doesn’t merely represent the threat horizon but is an essential ally in navigating it.”

At Cyber Security World Asia, the Singapore-based startup Responsible Cyber unveiled IMMUNE X-TPRM, their innovative AI-powered platform that not only monitors real-time ecosystem and third-party risks, but also anticipates risk scenarios, ensuring businesses remain steps ahead of potential breaches, while simultaneously enhancing operational efficiency and compliance through intelligent automation.

In the gold rush towards AI, it is also important to pay attention to data centres as the critical infrastructure supporting the greater demand for computing power. The server computer density that AI requires also generates significant heat and consumes a large amount of water for cooling, which presents energy efficiency and sustainability challenges. Governments are emphasising the importance of sustainable growth with countries such as Singapore announcing a sustainability standard for data centres operating in tropical climates.

Schneider Electric Singapore recently announced they are investing SGD1.2 million to collaborate with the Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed in Singapore. This announcement is in the lead-up to their keynote speech at Data Centre World Asia on key strategies to measure and manage sustainability in data centres on October 12th.

“2023 marks the year that AI exploded into public consciousness. As we enter this new age of AI, there are more questions than answers. How can leaders separate tactics from media noise and what are the priorities for business leaders entering this new AI-enabled future? What strategies will make sense to a small-medium enterprise versus a multinational corporation?,” said Andy Kiwanuka, Managing Director for Asia Pacific at CloserStill Media. “At the heart of Tech Week Singapore is a multi-layered content programme for leaders to share best practices and envision new possibilities where technology is the enabler for a better future.”

Tech Week Singapore will run until 12 October 2023 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre.

Deepdesk Introduces Cutting-Edge ‘AIX’ Features, Pioneering the Future of AI for Contact Centers

AMSTERDAM, Oct 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Designed to empower agents and delight customers, Deepdesk AIX solves major customer service challenges. New features sort through disparate knowledge sources to give agents the right answers to customer queries, summarize conversations automatically, and detect important context from a customer’s tone and language.

These new features are available across chat, email, or voice. A true omni-channel AI solution. With Deepdesk’s “Bring Your Own Model” option, businesses can use the LLM or AI model of their choice. Unlike many AI solutions currently crowding the market, the “Bring Your Own Model” framework is future-proof and scalable by design.

Deepdesk’s technology is not aimed at replacing human agents but enabling them to focus on delivering next-level customer interactions. Happy agents are more efficient, deliver a higher level of customer satisfaction, and are less likely to quit.

The Deepdesk AIX suite takes things a step further, introducing generative AI to critical points in the agent’s workflow, adding value and eliminating thankless tasks at the same time.

The adaptability of Deepdesk AIX means it can meet the needs of almost any industry or use case. Clients in heavily regulated sectors, like healthcare and finance, have successfully integrated Deepdesk’s tools into their existing compliance framework.

One such success story is Rabobank, the Netherlands’ largest financial institution. “Deepdesk’s AI Agent Assist has quickly become an integral tool for over 1000 Rabobank Consumer and SME contact center advisors in our messaging channel. Now over 25% of our advisors’ conversations are assisted by Deepdesk, enabling faster answers and increased conversation quality and consistency,” said Thom Kokhuis, Head of Conversational Banking & CRM, Senior Vice President, for Rabobank, “With the success of our initial rollout, Deepdesk will soon be deployed to 1,000+ more Financial and Private Banking advisors. By continually providing the answers and resources needed in real-time for any customer interaction, Deepdesk enables our advisors to save time while also providing the best possible service.”

How it works

Knowledge Assist detects customer questions automatically and finds the right answer in real-time, no matter where that knowledge might live in a company’s system. Agents no longer have to sift through different knowledge sources in a dozen open tabs only to end up asking Google.

Summarizer automates the summary of digital and voice interactions, converting entire conversations into actionable, succinct notes in a CRM-friendly format. Typically, agents either don’t do summaries (or do them poorly) because it delays the time before they can take their next customer call. Summarizer resolves this constant struggle between agents and call center managers.

Real-time Agent Notifications: Providing cues to agents, ensuring better outcomes for customers and faster workflow. These cues can be created by agents or set globally and can do everything from providing real-time advice to the agent based on the conversation content to analyzing sentiment.

With great enthusiasm, Dr. LIANG introduced SRRSH, which is dedicated to promoting and applying minimally invasive surgical techniques. The Hospital is one of the leading institutions in China with the broadest range of minimally invasive surgical procedures and involvement in various disciplines. Its numerous clinical research and applications in surgery have reached an internationally advanced level.

During its nearly 30 years of operation, SRRSH has embraced change, innovation, and the development of a modern and internationalized “Shaw Hospital Model.” It has also adopted the advanced “Internet + Healthcare” service model. With Dr. CAI Xiujun, the President of SRRSH, leading the way, the Hospital has progressed steadily, achieving remarkable results.

Besides establishing China’s first secondary discipline in “Minimally Invasive”, SRRSH’s Department of General Surgery has achieved notable recognition. In the “2022 Science and Technology Evaluation Matrix Rankings for Chinese Hospitals” organized by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, it emerged as the 12th best among over 1,600 hospitals nationwide, receiving industry recognition and acclaim.

The Hospital has also founded China’s first international journal on minimally invasive surgery, with Dr. CAI, the President of SRRSH, as the editor-in-chief. The journal has received recognition by being selected for the “China Science and Technology Journal Excellence Action Plan” by seven ministries, including the China Association for Science and Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, among others. Several international academic websites have also indexed the journal. As one of the doctors at the Hospital, Dr. LIANG has actively engaged in parallel initiatives, including establishing the Chinese Laparoscopic Hepatobiliary Surgery Academy and organizing nationally recognized continuing education programs for training purposes.

During the speech, Dr. LIANG also introduced the “Cai’s ALPPS” surgical technique, which Dr. CAI independently developed. The technique features a unique and innovative surgical approach, combined with minimally invasive surgery that effectively blocks the blood flow between the left and right liver lobes, completely resolving complications. This approach also minimizes patient trauma and accelerates postoperative recovery processes.

Dr. LIANG also showcased several short videos highlighting robot-assisted surgeries, demonstrating the precise and flexible surgical techniques performed in confined spaces. He presented multiple professional literature and data excerpts that indicate robot-assisted surgery, compared to laparoscopic surgery, effectively reduces patient bleeding and surgical risks while maximizing the preservation of healthy liver tissue. Additionally, it helps minimize postoperative complications and shorten recovery time. This presentation attracted the attention of overseas experts and scholars, further increasing their interest in the innovative technologies and development of minimally invasive surgical techniques in China.

Chinese medical enterprises have actively responded to the call of the government and made great efforts to promote domestic medical technology research and development. The development of domestically produced surgical robots in China has been progressing rapidly, with continuous advancements in technology and accuracy. During his speech, Dr. LIANG specifically mentioned and acknowledged certain companies, including Cornerstone Robotics. With the growing number of clinical trials conducted by domestic companies and experts, he believes that domestically produced surgical robots will be a significant trend in future minimally invasive surgery in China. They are expected to lead liver surgeries into a new era, benefiting the medical industry and the general public.
