TAIPEI, Nov. 17, 2020 — Delta, a global leader in power and thermal management solutions, today announced it has been honored as one of Taiwan’s top 25 global brands in the prominent Best Taiwan Global Brands survey for the tenth consecutive year. The 2020 survey, organized by the Industrial Development Bureau and executed by Interbrand, the world-class branding value assessment organization, determined that Delta’s brand value reached USD 331 million in 2019, a surge of 11% year-on-year. Delta’s brand value has increased for 8 consecutive years.

Ms. Shan Shan Guo, Delta’s chief brand officer, said, "2020 is the tenth anniversary of Delta’s brand inauguration. Over that period of time, our endeavors have focused on realizing Delta’s brand promise of ‘Smarter. Greener. Together.’ and on fostering corporate social responsibility. We are truly honored to have received this prestigious external recognition over these ten years in which our brand has grown steadily while Delta has evolved from a components manufacturer into a provider of IoT-based smart energy-saving solutions. This year has been enormously challenging, especially due to COVID-19. But Delta quickly mobilized various online communication channels, such as digital marketing and social media, to offset the impact of restricted physical activities. During the pandemic, a new lifestyle boosts our demand for digital services and online communication that requires extra ICT infrastructure and datacenters. Healthy living and working spaces are also paramount. Delta will endeavor to continue providing state-of-the-art solutions for eco-friendly data centers, 5G communications, smart and healthy buildings and clean energy, to fulfill society’s needs in the pandemic and post-pandemic era."

The uniqueness of Delta’s brand derives from its commitment to innovation and energy conservation as well as its seamless integration of corporate social responsibility. The Company is the first corporation in Taiwan to pass the SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) evaluation for its carbon reduction targets and has achieved respective milestones for the past two years. In 2019, Delta also increased the use of renewable energy of its main operation sites to 44.1%.  Since 2006, Delta has created 27 green buildings around the globe, some of them donated to academic institutions. It is currently constructing new operation sites in Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung and Tainan, all of which will also adopt the green building concept. Moreover, its new site in Taipei will also incorporate the concepts of the WELL Building Standard in its design. Delta has also established two LEED V4 ID+C certified data centers, including the world’s first LEED Platinum green data center at its global HQs in Taipei. The aforementioned CSR endeavors have been recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), which days ago selected Delta for its DJSI World Index for the 10th consecutive year while recognizing it as the industry leader of the "Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components industry" for the 3rd consecutive year.

Renovo Lauded by Frost & Sullivan for Edge-centric Automotive Software Platform

Leave a comment

Renovo’s comprehensive vehicle data & workload management platform enables automakers to learn from their ADAS fleets in realtime

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 16, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the edge-centric automotive data management software market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Renovo.auto with the 2020 North American Enabling Technology Leadership Award. Renovo has created a remarkable, first-of-its-kind edge-centric advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) data management software platform that offers fast, reliable, and advanced automotive data solutions. By accelerating the development of vehicle data pipelines and real-time data filtering, Renovo is helping automakers improve feature-development, increase customer satisfaction and develop new revenue streams.

Renovo

"Today’s car manufacturers have major software-centric challenges — self-driving, electrification, over-the-air updates — that require continuous iteration driven by a perpetual supply of real-world data, and yet no way exists to move these massive data sets from the vehicles to the cloud," said Melek Ozturk, Industry Analyst. "Renovo’s platform leverages the vehicle’s built-in edge computing power to refine the raw data into compact and economical insights that can be moved efficiently on a real-time basis across an entire fleet of vehicles."

Renovo offers clients two main advantages: reducing data costs, by decreasing their reliance on expensive cloud storage and compute; and time, by allowing them to collect data at the source and process it on the edge before sending only the most insightful data to the development teams. These teams can then build and deploy updates that improve vehicle safety, increase feature reliability, and enhance the overall customer experience. In addition to ADAS development teams, a company’s powertrain, reliability, manufacturing, warranty, sales, and marketing teams can use the real-world vehicle data in decision-making.

"At Renovo, we provide our automotive customers with solutions that refine and fully utilize the tremendous amount of data being produced by today’s connected vehicles," said Robin Nijor, Chief Commercial Officer at Renovo. "We are humbled to receive Frost & Sullivan’s award that recognizes the hard work of our team. We want to thank our customers and industry partners who have helped us scale our award-winning platform over the past ten years."

In just one example of how automakers have creatively used Renovo: Currently, many new vehicle designs integrate face recognition features based on specific algorithms and big data input from human features and facial geometry. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has created a population of drivers wearing face masks, which affects the software’s ability to perform. Renovo can easily and quickly resolve this challenge to ensure its customers keep pace with and benefit from the changes happening in the real world. Furthermore, with ADAS and autonomous vehicle features becoming standard offerings, Renovo’s robust, secure software platform will help automotive customers remain agile and adjust to the learning curve.

"Renovo has forged strategic relationships to fortify its platform’s operation. Through its collaboration with Verizon, Renovo has created a strong support mechanism in new technology integration and in providing scalable access to network service for customers," noted Ozturk. "With support from telecom, edge-computing, and storage ecosystem giants, Renovo is ensuring its customers gain low-latency computing and scalable operating capacity across the board, from a single car to a globally distributed fleet."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a company that has developed a pioneering technology that not only enhances current products but also enables the development of new products and applications. The award recognizes the high market acceptance potential of the recipient’s technology.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

ViewSonic Announces Winners of the ColorPro(TM) Award 2020 Global Photography Contest

Leave a comment

BREA, Calif., Nov. 13, 2020 — ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual and educational solutions, organized the ColorPro Award 2020 Global Photography Contest in cooperation with four leaders in the creative industry – Blurb, Shoot the Frame (STF), Tinyspace, and TourBox – centered on the theme of kindness, so as to promote compassion and beauty through creativity. ViewSonic received more than 2,100 extraordinary photo entries from 18 countries and regions, which offered visual representations of the ubiquity of kindness. ViewSonic announced the contest’s winners on November 13 – World Kindness Day – through a global, live-streamed awards ceremony.

James Chu, Chairman and CEO of ViewSonic, said, "I’m delighted that this contest has elicited such a strong response among creators worldwide. During this difficult time of the COVID-19 pandemic, ViewSonic has worked with its partners to highlight stories of kindness from around the globe to provide some much-needed positivity. The contest has shown that, no matter how dramatic the changes to people’s lives have been, kindness is still all around us. I sincerely hope that people will continue to use photography to explore heartwarming stories of kindness."

The top three entries in the ColorPro Award 2020 Global Photography Contest all conveyed heartwarming messages through their photography. The first-prize winner, Spain’s Antonio Aragon Renuncio, made a photograph titled Kindness of 14-year-old Kodjo in Bombouaka, Togo, who is helping a classmate with homework before a soccer game at a care center for children with severe physical and intellectual disabilities. The friendship and compassion shown by Kodjo help disabled children, who are often referred to as "snakes" in their local communities, enjoy normal lives.

Bangladesh’s Tanvir Alam has won the second prize for Harvesting Water Lily, which uses a bird’s-eye view to show a colorful image of harmony between man and nature, with two farmers working together to process water lilies. The third prize has been awarded to Singapore’s Chin Leong Teo for his photograph Drought Ladies. Shot from behind two women, the image shows the helplessness of people in the face of major natural disasters but also the warmth of the woman who consoles her sister in a powerful symbol of mutual support.

At the live-streamed awards ceremony, ViewSonic also invited Chen-Yu Chiu, CEO of the Taiwan-Reyhanli Centre for World Citizens, to share the photos of civic events held near the border between Turkey and Syria and to explain what kindness means to him. Chiu stated that "a grim concrete border wall was transformed into a Taiwan-built center that serves to convey kindness from the world to people in Turkey and Syria. Kindness derives from our close experience of the environment in which we find ourselves, as well as our innate compassion and empathy, and is accentuated by a little bit of craziness and persistence."

Huai-An Ho, President of the HoHuan Theatre Company, which has held 660 free performances at hospitals and clinics over the past 18 years in Taiwan, also took part in the ceremony to share his views on kindness through two photographs. The first photo showed a Mazinger Z figure holding the hand of a little boy as they are about to enter a hospital room and perform for a young girl, demonstrating that kindness can help even the weakest among us be as strong as super heroes. The other photo showed a renowned Peking opera master who, despite his old age and dementia, can still sing the songs he performed during his long career, a touching symbol of persistence. Ho added that "cancer cannot be transmitted, but kindness can" and that "even if I’m unable to do great things, I can still show love while doing many little things."

To further enhance the power of kindness, ViewSonic also launched a special event called "You comment, ViewSonic Donates," which will last until January 13, 2021. ViewSonic invites people to take part in spreading kindness by going to the event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/987244695108535/ leaving comments about or sharing one of the top 10 photos, explaining why they like the photo, or sending a message to the photographer. For each instance in which a message is left or a photo is shared, ViewSonic will donate US$1 to the HoHuan Theatre Company[1].

ViewSonic has put the top 100 entries on the contest’s official website (https://colorproaward.shoottheframe.com/), allowing people to see kindness in all types of interactions between people, between people and animals, and between people and nature.

[1] The donation cap is US$10,000.

Leave a comment

Combining Machine Learning through its MLAD technology and Big Data analytics through the Kaspersky Security Network, Kaspersky provides a complete industrial (OT/ICS) cyber security solution

LONDON, Nov. 9, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the global industrial (OT/ICS) cybersecurity market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Kaspersky with the 2020 Global Company of the Year Award for advancing its vision of creating a truly superior industrial cybersecurity solution. Kaspersky is a leader in analyzing market trends and developing customized solutions that effectively address key pain points within the industrial environment. It has made significant strides over the past five years by incorporating unique technologies such as Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection (MLAD) and Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Feeds in its solutions.

In response to the convergence of IT and OT systems, it launched the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity solution. The solution includes a wide range of products and services such as Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes to protect industrial endpoints and Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks for asset and communication discovery for situational awareness, and early industrial attack and anomaly detection. In addition, it offers security awareness and training, threat intelligence, security and vulnerability assessments, and managed security services. Its detection engines generate different events, while its correlation engine correlates these atomic events into aggregated events that help eliminate unnecessary alerts.

"Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity is uniquely placed to address unmet needs such as protecting legacy operating systems on industrial hosts and offering comprehensive network and asset visibility along with well-rounded attack visibility and protection," said Gautham Gnanajothi Global Research Director. "Its Growth Center, Future Technologies, and Innovation Hub departments are perfectly positioned with best-in-class strategic frameworks to assess, develop, and deliver innovative security offerings to support industrial/ OT end users along their digital transformation journey."

Significantly, the company has two dedicated research teams; one to support its industrial solutions and one for broader market-focused cybersecurity megatrends. The Kaspersky Industrial Control Systems – Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) for industrial solutions specializes in collaborating with regulators and official standards organizations to develop best practices, and research potential and existing threats across industrial automation systems and the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Meanwhile, the Global Research & Analysis Team (GReAT) focuses on wider cybersecurity megatrends and uncovers cyber-espionage campaigns, major malware, ransomware, and underground cyber-criminal trends across the world.

"The company has established its dominance in a yet uncontested market with emerging technology-based products such as the IoT secure gateway product based on its proprietary operating system KasperskyOS," noted Gnanajothi. "Leveraging superior technical performance, customer service focus, and client relationship, Kaspersky is all set to dominate the industrial (OT/ ICS) cybersecurity market in the long term."

"The protection of industrial organizations is one of our key business priorities. While these organizations enhance their OT security, our goal is to provide them with the solutions and expertise required for their level of maturity. We also understand that complex measures are crucial to ensuring any protection is effective, so Kaspersky’s portfolio also includes security services and training to improve expertise among IT security teams and OT engineers, as well as employee awareness. This Frost & Sullivan award confirms that we’re on the right track, so we’re extremely proud to receive such recognition," commented Georgy Shebuldaev, Head of Growth Center, Kaspersky.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents a Company of the Year award to the organization that demonstrates excellence in terms of growth strategy and implementation in its field. The award recognizes a high degree of innovation with products and technologies, and the resulting leadership in terms of customer value and market penetration.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.
