Raynet Named Leader in QKS Group's 2026 UEM SPARK Matrix

Pune, India – September 10, 2026 -- QKS Group has positioned Raynet as a Leader in its SPARK MatrixTM: Unified Endpoint Management (UEM), 2026, citing the vendor's integration of device management with deeper technology asset intelligence.

QKS Group ranks Raynet among top UEM vendors for technology and customer impact

The SPARK MatrixTM evaluates UEM vendors on technology excellence and customer impact, benchmarking platforms that manage laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, rugged devices, kiosks, and other enterprise endpoints from a single console. Sofia Ali, Associate Director and Principal Analyst at QKS Group, said Raynet's differentiation stems from linking device management, software lifecycle data, patching, and vulnerability visibility rather than treating them as separate functions.

Air Dynamics Targets Wasted Plant Heat to Cut Manufacturer Energy Costs

York, Pa. – September 10, 2026 -- Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation is pushing manufacturers to recover energy already generated inside their facilities rather than purchasing new equipment to boost efficiency.

Company shifts focus from single exhaust stacks to full facility energy flow

"We don't want to look at one exhaust stack or one piece of equipment in isolation," said Dan Lehman, President of Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation. The engineering firm evaluates heated exhaust air, process air, equipment heat, hot process streams, compressed-air systems and ventilation as potential recovery sources.

IVA Blasts PAN Study Claiming 400 Million Pesticide Poisonings

IVA Blasts PAN Study Claiming 400 Million Pesticide Poisonings

Frankfurt – September 10, 2026 -- The German agricultural industry association IVA has dismissed a new study by the Pesticide Action Network (PAN) claiming more than 400 million pesticide-related poisoning cases occur globally each year, calling the figure scientifically indefensible.

IVA says PAN conflates exposure with confirmed poisoning

The Industrieverband Agrar e.V. (IVA) argues the PAN study fails to define what qualifies as a poisoning, relying heavily on self-reported symptoms rather than medically confirmed diagnoses. According to IVA, this methodological gap means exposure and actual poisoning are not properly separated, inflating the headline figure. A previous PAN study on global poisoning cases was withdrawn after similar criticism of its methodology and data sources.

Tengelmann Energie Doubles Solar Capacity at KiK Headquarters

Bönen – September 10, 2026 -- Tengelmann Energie Renewables (TER) has nearly doubled the photovoltaic capacity at KiK's European headquarters in Bönen with a second solar installation delivering 89.2 kWp, financed and operated under an on-site power purchase agreement (PPA).

Second PV plant adds 89.2 kWp of capacity on KiK's office building

The new installation comprises roughly 200 solar modules mounted on Office Building 2 at KiK's headquarters. More than 70% of the electricity generated flows directly into the retailer's own consumption for logistics and administrative operations under a long-term supply agreement.

CEM Achieves Smelter Grade Alumina Breakthrough, Launches Prefeasibility Study

Calgary – September 10, 2026 -- Canadian Energy Metals Corp. (CEM) has achieved proof-of-concept for producing Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) from a non-bauxite resource, marking a potential shift in North America's aluminum supply chain, and has formally commenced its Prefeasibility Study (PFS) for the Thor Project in northeast Saskatchewan.

CEM's process converts black shale into alumina matching Bayer Process purity standards

The company's testing process converts boehmite, derived from precursors linked to High Purity Alumina (HPA) and Chemical Grade Alumina (CGA), into SGA that consistently matches the purity and specifications of alumina produced through the Bayer Process, the current industry standard for refining bauxite. SGA is the principal feedstock for aluminum metal production, and CEM's results were achieved without relying on bauxite, the conventional ore source.

Calgary, AB – September 10, 2026 -- Canadian Energy Metals Corp. (CEM) has demonstrated proof-of-concept for producing smelter grade alumina (SGA) from a non-bauxite resource, matching the purity and specifications of SGA produced via the industry-standard Bayer process.

CEM converts boehmite into SGA matching Bayer-process purity

The process, tested at CEM's Thor Project in northeastern Saskatchewan near Tisdale, converts boehmite derived from high-purity alumina (HPA) and chemical-grade alumina (CGA) precursors into SGA -- the primary feedstock for aluminum metal production. Samples consistently met the purity and specification benchmarks of Bayer-process SGA, the current global standard for smelter feedstock.

news aktuell Launches Voices, Germany's First Video-Statement PR Tool

Hamburg – September 10, 2026 -- dpa subsidiary news aktuell has launched "voices by na-connect," the first tool on the German communications market that feeds original video statements from executives and experts directly into the news cycle. The product went live today and will be presented at the Kommunikationskongress in Berlin on September 17-18.

Executives and experts record 60-second video statements to react to trending topics

The platform works by publishing "hooks" — short, attention-grabbing prompts on current debates — through news aktuell and select media partners. Registered users, called "voices," select a hook, film a vertical smartphone video of up to 60 seconds, and submit it for review. Once cleared by the news aktuell team, statements are bundled and distributed across multiple channels. CEOs, board members, subject-matter experts, communications officers and corporate influencers are the primary target users.
