Why Nvidia, Daimler Truck, Nikon And Top U.S. Security Organization Are Partnering With This AI Chip Stock

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga A boom in automated passenger cars and trucks could be coming to roads and highways near you thanks to the companies churning out the technology required to make this a reality. One company, in particular, is Aeva Technologies Inc. (NYSE: AEVA), which makes LiDAR sensors for self-driving vehicles, trucks, trains and more. The sensors act as eyes, providing 3D views of the surroundings with a twist – adding a fourth measurement dimension of speed in what the company calls 4D LiDAR. The company’s sensors are powered by its Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) 4D LiDAR technology, which uses a low-power continuous laser beam to measure distance and velocity for each pixel at the same time. Aeva says FMCW unlocks new levels of safety and automation by instantaneously discriminating between moving and non-moving points and identifying the precise velocity of objects in motion. Per pixel instant velocity data gives real-time insights into how an object’s speed and position change and the direction that change happens with centimeters per second precision, giving the vehicle’s computer a more accurate picture and a faster look-ahead to help plan its next move more quickly. The company says its FMCW LiDAR sensors can also enable self-driving cars and trucks to achieve highway speeds (65 MPH and above) safely. It’s something that the industry has struggled with, with many advanced assisted driving and traffic-jam pilot self-driving vehicles achieving top speeds of only up to 45 MPH. For the automotive industry to realize autonomous vehicles at a large scale, it must be able to sustain highway speeds safely and across different weather and driving conditions. Aeva’s LiDAR Tech Secures Strategic Partnerships With Industry Giants Aeva is getting a lot of attention because of its advanced LiDARs, inking deals with heavy hitters including Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), Daimler Truck AG and Nikon Corp. (OTC: NINOY) and forging into new areas. The deal with Nvidia, the AI and graphics chip maker that boasts a market capitalization of about $2.90 trillion, holds the potential to validate Aeva’s technology. The two first began collaborating in the spring of 2022, when Aeva’s 4D LiDAR sensors were added to the NVIDIA DRIVE® Automotive platform. NVIDIA DRIVE is an open, end-to-end platform that enables automotive OEMs and developers to develop, train, validate and deploy safe self-driving technology at scale. The NVIDIA DRIVE platform consists of both the AI infrastructure and in-vehicle hardware and so ftware to deliver everything needed to develop autonomy at scale. Aeva delivers an advantage for perception in automated vehicles because it leverages per-point instant velocity information to detect and classify objects with higher confidence across longer ranges. “With Aeva as part of our DRIVE ecosystem network, we can provide customers access to this next generation of sensing capabilities for safe autonomous driving,” said Nvidia about Aeva at the time. Since then it has made inroads with OEMs, recently announcing some major deals. Take Aeva’s recent $1 billion deal with Daimler Truck AG as a prime example. Daimler Truck is using Aeva’s 4D LiDAR sensors in its Class 8 Freightliner Cascadia autonomous truck platform. Daimler Truck says it intends to integrate the LiDAR sensors directly into its production process, making it easy for customers to buy autonomous-ready trucks directly from its manufacturing plants. Daimler Truck said it chose Aeva’s LiDAR sensors because of their ability to provide enhanced safety and control. Production is slated to commence in 2026, according to Aeva. Daimler is aiming to have self-driving trucks on the road by 2027. “Daimler Truck is committed to leading the industry’s advancement toward autonomous trucks. Selecting the right LiDAR technology is a crucial strategic decision to safely deploy autonomous trucks on the road,” said Joanna Buttler, head of Global Autonomous Technology Group at Daimler Truck, when announcing the deal. “We are convinced that Aeva with its cutting-edge and reliable technology is the right production partner for LiDAR sensors and has the manufacturing capabilities to scale along with us,” she said. Growing Beyond Automotive Vehicles aren’t the only thing Aeva’s sensors are finding a home in. The company is also bringing its perception technology to security and AI based analytics, having been selected by a top U.S. National Security Organization to help protect critical energy infrastructure sites across the United States. Aeva’s sensors are expected to be the primary detection sensor to protect sensitive locations in various facilities from intrusion, such as water entries and exits and at perimeter fences. Aeva says after evaluating multiple sensing technologies, including 3D time-of-flight LiDAR, this top national defense security organization selected Aeva 4D LiDAR, further validating the growing applications for Aeva’s technology for some of the demanding and high-stakes physical security applications that can benefit from the application of sensing and AI. As a sign of having broadened and versatile applications, Aeva also inked a deal with Nikon, the global manufacturer and supplier of metrology and inspection equipment for the industrial automation and metrology markets. Aeva is producing sensors for Nikon industrial machines to inspect objects on manufacturing assembly lines for microscopic defects that can be smaller than the width of a human hair. This includes automobiles and aerospace components from some of the world’s largest manufacturers. Aeva is targeting to begin launching its sensors for the first industrial precision product with Nikon in the fourth quarter of 2024. “Today’s production win marks a significant milestone for Aeva in the growing field of automated manufacturing and it validates that Aeva’s unique FMCW technology goes well beyond automated driving with a perception platform powering the next wave of automation,” said Soroush Salehian, co-founder and CEO at Aeva when the deal was announced late last year. “We are excited to advance to our first commercial deployment with Nikon, a recognized leader in delivering high-precision industrial solutions of the highest quality, and look forward to leveraging our perception platform to bring additional programs to market.” Then there’s Aeva’s deal in railway for Germany’s rail sector initiative Digitale Schiene Deutschland. Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology is being used in the group’s AutomatedTrain project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action with collaboration from ten partners, including the world’s largest railway company Deutsche Bahn, Siemens Mobility and Bosch. The group aims to create and trial driverless, fully automated passenger trains by 2026. From vehicles to industrial security, manufacturing automation and trains, Aeva’s advanced sensors and perception suite seem to be finding their way into large and rapidly growing markets.

Rezolve Ai Inks Three Key Partnerships, Expanding The Customer Base For Its AI-Powered Platform For E-Commerce Businesses

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Just like many other industries, the potential of AI is helping transform e-commerce. Technology is helping make static pages, slow customer service and cumbersome checkouts a thing of the past. Customers today want smart recommendations, real-time help and speedy checkout. AI has the potential to give retailers and small businesses that recognize these needs a competitive edge over those that don’t. Conversational commerce – using messaging apps, chatbots, AI voice assistants and other technology to communicate with customers – is underpinning a new way of shopping. After all, by incorporating AI, speech recognition, natural language processing and machine learning, e-commerce merchants can offer a more personalized and engaging experience. Conversational commerce can boost sales, improve the user experience and provide support 24/7. Not surprisingly, the conversational commerce market is big and growing, projected to grow at a CAGR of 11% from now until 2028. Rezolve At The Forefront This more engaging approach to e-commerce is becoming a reality thanks to companies like Rezolve Ai (NASDAQ: RZLV), a U.K.-based AI-powered platform and mobile solution provider with its proprietary LLM serving e-commerce businesses. Rezolve Ai’s Brain enables online merchants to optimize their digital stores with a conversational AI-powered shopping interface and personalized product recommendations that get smarter each time a customer visits the website. The company’s real-time chatbots and Instant Checkout experience help e-commerce businesses close sales quickly in 95 languages. Rezolve Ai’s platform, which consists of Brain commerce, Brain checkout and Brain Assistant, seems to be gaining traction in the marketplace, with the company inking collaborations and boosting its pipeline. At last check, Rezolve Ai said more than 100 client discussions are ongoing, with the company targeting top merchants within e-commerce and retail. All told, Rezolve Ai thinks there is a $480 billion to $500 billion addressable market for it to go after. Momentum Building in Partnership Channel Its deal-making has been on display in recent days and weeks, with the company most recently inking a deal with Creative Dock, the corporate venture builder and digital innovator that counts l arge financial service and consumer companies, and leading telcos across Europe and the Middle East as customers. Under the deal, Creative Dock will bring Rezolve’s AI to its commerce customers, giving Rezolve access to Creative Dock’s customers located in 52 countries – making this possibly its most significant deal yet. "As pioneers in AI for commerce, we are thrilled to join forces with Creative Dock to redefine how businesses engage with their customers," said Daniel M Wagner, CEO and Chairman of Rezolve Ai, when announcing the deal. "Together, we will empower companies to fuel growth, unlock new digital opportunities, and elevate the customer experience." Rezolve Ai's "brainpowa" suite, including Brain Commerce, Brain Assistant and Brain Checkout, will be integrated with Creative Dock’s venture-building services to offer comprehensive AI-powered solutions for businesses of all sizes. Rezolve said the partnership represents a pivotal opportunity to drive digital innovation and transformation in the global commerce sector. Another big deal is its partnership with ePages, a provider of e-commerce software to retailers in Europe. ePages tapped Rezolve Ai to enhance the e-commerce experience for its small and medium-sized business customers. As part of the agreement, Rezolve Ai will provide its cutting-edge products, including Brain Assistant and Brain Commerce, to ePages’ extensive network of merchants, while ePages will utilize its marketing and promotion channels, such as the ePages App Store, to sell Rezolve Ai’s products to its existing and future merchant base. “This partnership represents a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize the eCommerce industry,” said Daniel M. Wagner, CEO of Rezolve Ai, when announcing the collaboration in late August. “By combining ePages’ powerful eCommerce software with Rezolve’s cutting-edge AI technology, we are empowering businesses to provide personalized shopping experiences and real-time customer support. Together, we expect to redefine the way businesses engage with customers and drive sales.” Rezolve also just struck an alliance with OXID, a provider of e-commerce solutions to more than 2,000 tier 1 and tier 2 retailers based in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. OXID's key focus in the partnership is to introduce Brain Commerce to its client base. By integrating Rezolve Ai's Brain Suite solution, OXID aims to enhance customer engagement, increase conversion rates and elevate the overall e-commerce experience for its clients, Rezolve said. Making Inroads Into New Markets Then there’s Rezolve’s deal with SPH AG, a leading IT and consulting company focused on the fashion, sports, lifestyle and retail sectors. SPH will deploy Rezolve’s proprietary AI technologies across its customer base. In addition to offering tech consulting, SPH provides comprehensive support for retail companies undergoing digital transformation. By integrating strategic advice and process optimization with the implementation of innovative technologies, SPH aims to distinguish itself from other ERP providers. Rezolve intends to capitalize on that prowess. “We are thrilled to collaborate with SPH AG to bring our cutting-edge AI solutions to the fashion, sports, lifestyle and retail industries,” said Wagner. “Our partnership will enable companies to transform their operations and drive exponential growth in the digital age.” All these partnerships showcase how Rezolve intends to grow the business, aiming to achieve annual recurring revenue of $100 million by the end of 2025. Rezolve says that growth will be fuelled by strategic partnerships and an expanding roster of enterprise clients. eCommerce is going through a digital overhaul. Shoppers want a more engaging, personalized and convenient experience. Rezolve says its AI-powered e-commerce platform provides that. With growth on its mind, customers in the pipeline and partnerships in the works, Rezolve is proving that true. Featured photo by Shoper on Unsplash.

Vuzix (NASDAQ: VUZI) Lands $20 Million Investment From Quanta Computer As The Two Expand Their Smart Glasses Collaboration

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Vuzix Corp. (NASDAQ: VUZI), the maker of smart glasses and augmented reality (AR) products, just got more firepower to grow thanks to a multimillion-dollar investment from Quanta Computer Inc. (OTC: QUCCF), a global Fortune 500 company and original design manufacturer (ODM). The two already collaborate to advance the smart glasses market and this three-tranche $20 million investment further validates that partnership. The investment by Quanta Computer also strengthens Vuzix’s balance sheet, enabling it to ramp up production of its waveguides and launch new smart glasses and related products. Smart Glasses Getting Smarter Vuzix makes a variety of smart glasses and AR products, including head-mounted smart personal displays and wearable computing devices that offer users a portable high-quality viewing experience. The company’s smart glasses and component technologies are the result of deep R&D and OEM partnerships with technology companies like Quanta Computer. Quanta Computer is a leading notebook manufacturer, cloud computing provider and maker of products for the IT, consumer electronics, cloud computing and smart technology markets such as smart homes. Last year it had revenue of $35 billion, and it has a workforce of about 62,000 employees located around the world. Vuzix says its light, thin and ergonomic waveguide designs combined with its optics technology for display engines sets it apart from its rivals. Vuzix’s waveguides take a projected virtual image and relay it to the eye while expanding the exit pupil (viewing window) at the same time. "Quanta’s investment today represents another important step in our partnership, which has steadily deepened since we first disclosed it last November," said Paul Travers, president and CEO of Vuzix. "This investment, and the ones to follow, will significantly strengthen our balance sheet and assure that we can implement whatever steps needed to ramp production of waveguides, as well as the co-development of new smart glasses and related technologies.” Getting Cash In The Coffers Under the terms of the deal, Quanta will invest $20 million in three tranches. The first tranche will consist of $10 million of Vuzix common stock. The second and third tranches, $5 million each, are tied to specific milestones and will consist of the purchase of Vuzix Series B Preferred Stock. “We plan to work closely with Vuzix to support the AR smart glasses industry and today’s investment in Vuzix represents a strong endorsement of our partnership," said Frank Chuang, Vice President of Quanta Computer. Vuzix said at least $3 million from the investment will go for new product development. Quanta is paying $1.30 per share for the first $10 million of stock. Market In Growth Mode The investment comes at a time when the smart glasses market seems to be taking off and looks poised for growth. The global smart glasses market is forecast to reach $13.68 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2024 through 2031. Driving the market is demand from manufacturing, warehousing and healthcare companies that use smart glasses to train associates and to provide remote assistance. Monocular smart glasses, which are known to be light and compact, are expected to be a big driver of growth in industries where access to hands-free information is necessary. With these glasses, data and information are overlaid directly on the display. The investment and collaboration should help Vuzik continue to innovate in the marketplace and grow sales. The company said as much when announcing the deepening partnership, saying it looks forward to “realizing the significant” revenue potential it stands to generate in the coming years thanks to the collaboration. Smart glasses are taking off as the use cases continue to grow. Vuzik wants to be a leader and is forging partnerships to make that a reality. Its expanded deal with Quanta Computer underscores that. Not only does it give it $20 million in capital to innovate and expand its offering, but it also offers validation of its technology, given that a computer giant with more than $35 billion in sales has chosen to deepen their partnership.

Moneytree Software Unveils Innovative Financial Planning Solution to Revolutionize Client-Advisor Relationships

Moneytree Software

Moneytree Software has launched a new, game-changing financial planning solution that empowers advisors to capitalize on changing investor expectations and grow their business. Recent research has shown that today’s clients care as much about their relationship with their advisors as they do about their portfolio performance. They value trust and understanding, and they want more consistent and personalized engagement. This is where the new Moneytree solution excels, according to Moneytree Software Managing Director Patrick Spencer. “Long-term success depends on all of us in this industry rethinking how we interact with clients and prospects,” Spencer said. “With this new solution, you have the tools you need to both cultivate more client relationships and develop deeper ones.” Moneytree developed the new cloud-based solution with a focus on the company’s foundational values of accuracy, comprehensiveness, and transparency. Furthermore, the modern interface and intuitive user experience enables advisors to plan with precision in a way that is more satisfying, more time-effective, and more scalable. “With the new Moneytree, you can focus less time on understanding and navigating your planning software and more time on building relationships that grow your business,” Spencer said. Features include: Both goal-based and cash-flow based planning modules to meet the needs of every client, regardless of where they are in their financial journey. Interactive, client-centric reporting tools that help turn insights into action. A wealth of specialized planning tools that save advisors time and money and help them cultivate deeper, more authoritative relationships by supporting retirement planning, income distribution, tax planning, and estate planning. The industry’s only transparent audit trail, which allows you to show highly engaged clients how you arrived at your answers. Advanced analytics that encourage client collaboration and drive better decision-making. In developing the solution, Moneytree spent countless hours on surveys, phone calls, emails, and pouring over market research. Product developers listened to what advisors like about various solutions, and equally importantly, what they found cumbersome. Already, Moneytree’s new solution is receiving rave reviews. “This is one of the best financial planning softwares I have seen, and I have been doing this since 1999,” said Greg Gilbert, CEO of Infinity Financial Services. The new Moneytree is currently available in the comprehensive “Elite” planning package, which replaces the previous Moneytree Plan software.

Could Nuvectis Pharma be the Next Summit Therapeutics? A New Report Highlights NXP900's Approach to NSCLC Treatment

Global Markets News

A new report by PESG Research highlights Nuvectis Pharma's (NASDAQ: NVCT) drug candidate NXP900 and its potential role in the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The review focuses on NXP900's unique approach to addressing critical challenges in cancer therapy resistance. NXP900 is positioned as a potential significant player in NSCLC treatment, comparing its approach to Summit Therapeutics' ivonescimab. NXP900's mechanism of action targets SRC/YES1 kinases in EGFR and ALK resistant NSCLC patients, offering a novel approach to overcoming treatment resistance. Preclinical studies, as noted in the report, indicate that NXP900 could enhance the efficacy of existing therapies like AstraZeneca's osimertinib (Tagrisso) when used in combination. The report also mentions NXP900's potential beyond NSCLC, including possible applications in other cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma. Context: The Current NSCLC Treatment Landscape The report comes at a time of significant developments in NSCLC treatment. Recently, Summit Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SMMT) made headlines with its drug ivonescimab, which showed promising results in a Phase 3 trial conducted in China. In this trial, ivonescimab outperformed Merck's Keytruda (NYSE: MRK), a current standard of care in many NSCLC cases. This breakthrough has intensified interest in novel approaches to NSCLC treatment, particularly those addressing resistance mechanisms. The report highlights the different approaches being developed to tackle NSCLC. While Summit's ivonescimab targets PD-L1 expression, Nuvectis' NXP900 focuses on EGFR and ALK mutations. The report suggests that this diversity in treatment approaches could be important in providing comprehensive options for NSCLC patients. Nuvectis Pharma's NXP900: Current Status and Potential NXP900 is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials, with a focus on safety and pharmacokinetics evaluations. The report emphasizes the preclinical data supporting NXP900, noting its activity against NSCLC models resistant to standard treatments and its potential synergistic effects when combined with existing therapies. A key feature of NXP900, as highlighted in the report, is its ability to inhibit both catalytic and scaffolding functions of SRC and YES1, which are described as key drivers of cancer cell survival. Implications for Cancer Treatment The Report underscores a trend in oncology: the focus on overcoming treatment resistance. It notes that as patients face progression despite initial responses to immunotherapies or targeted treatments, there's a growing need for novel approaches. NXP900's approach to targeting SRC/YES1 kinases seems is positioned as a unique strategy strategy compared to other emerging therapies. This diversification of approaches could be important in providing multiple avenues to tackle the complex mechanisms of treatment resistance. Conclusion The report provides an in-depth look at Nuvectis Pharma's NXP900, positioning it as a noteworthy development in the field of NSCLC treatment. While acknowledging the early stage of NXP900's development, the report highlights its unique mechanism of action and potential to address treatment resistance. The report suggests that as the landscape of NSCLC treatment continues to evolve, NXP900 represents one of several innovative approaches aiming to improve outcomes for cancer patients. As with all early-stage drug candidates, the full potential of NXP900 will only become clear as it progresses through clinical trials and further research.
