The 40,000 m2 High-End Storage R&D Complex of Longsys’s Shanghai HQ Successfully Topped Out, Gathering Innovative Forces


SHENZHEN, China, July 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — On July 28, 2023, the topping out ceremony for Longsys’s Shanghai HQ project was successfully held in the Lin-gang Special Area of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone. Leaders from the Lin-gang Special Area Management Committee, Longsys team, and participating units such as project construction, supervision, and design jointly attended the ceremony.

Longsys’s Shanghai HQ is located at the core area of the Dishui Lake Science and Technology Innovation HQ Bay in the Lin-gang Special Area. The project was launched for construction in 2021, covering an area of about 2.3 acres, with a total construction area of about 43,000 m2, which can accommodate more than 800 R&D personnel. The project will build an R&D and office complex, focusing on high-end storage product innovation, storage industry chain delivery, offshore cross-border business, and corporate brand culture display. It is expected to be completed before the end of 2024, and will play a crucial role on carrying Longsys’s long-term development strategy.

According to the plan, Longsys’s Shanghai HQ will build a number of R&D areas and labs, introduce cutting-edge technical supporting facilities, and focus on the R&D of enterprise, industry and automotive storage products and the design of memory chips, which are widely used in various fields, such as data centers, smart cars, smart grids, security monitoring, and industrial Internet of Things.

In the high-end product R&D areas, enterprise SSD storage and storage system software for large-scale computing such as data centers, as well as large-capacity UFS memory chips that comply with the automotive and industry reliability standards will be developed to empower high-performance and high-reliability storage applications. In the memory chip design and R&D areas, focus will be on the NOR flash, SLC NAND flash, memory controller chips, memory peripheral chips, and the like to meet the market demand of miniaturized and precise storage. The high-end storage R&D complex will further enhance Longsys’s independent innovation capability and promote the development and application of storage technology in various fields.

Mr. Cai Huabo, Chairman and General Manager of Longsys, said that the construction of the Shanghai HQ Project has made a good start. As the first stop for Longsys’s expansion from the base in China to the global industrial field, with the favorable policy of talent introduction in the Lin-gang Special Area and the strong support for financial and trade innovation reform and industrial ecological construction from the government of the Lin-gang Special Area, the Shanghai HQ will become a paramount R&D center for Longsys’s innovation and development. It will also become a milestone for Longsys’s 24-year development to link the past with the future, expand production and increase capacity. In addition, it will also be regarded as a key measure for practicing the company philosophy of “being close to customers, close to talents, and close to the industrial chain.”

Salutes resounded, and ribbons fluttered in the air. At 11:18, the leaders and guests attending the meeting were excited and passionate to hold gold shovels in warm applause and blessings, and jointly completed the last concrete pouring for the main project. This moment marks that the company will enter another new chapter.

In the future, Longsys’s Shanghai HQ will gather high-end storage talents and R&D equipment, build the world’s top high-end storage R&D complex, comprehensively enhance the company’s all-around storage service capability, and continuously and steadily transform the company into an international semiconductor storage brand.

As the industry prepares for DSCSA 2023 regulations, 50% of the US MAH market is now EPCIS-enabled through the TraceLink B2N Integrate-Once network. This digital foundation is allowing them to enhance supply chain visibility, collaboration, and resilience.

BOSTON, July 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — TraceLink Inc., the leading digital network platform company enabling end-to-end product orchestration by connecting more than 290,000 healthcare and life sciences entities through its B2N Integrate-Once™ network, today announced significant business growth and rapidly accelerating network adoption. With the looming Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance deadline on November 27, 2023, pharmaceutical supply chain companies continue to expand digital network connections on the TraceLink network to improve supply chain performance and leverage the extensive serialization and track-and-trace network foundation to tackle the ongoing challenges of drug shortages.

Key highlights of the quarter include:

  • 43 new customer accounts and 90 new customer projects initiated for DSCSA compliance.
  • 3,115 network links created across 504 companies on the TraceLink network.
  • Protected 100,000 patients from drug shortages and saved pharmacies millions of dollars in revenue by predicting shortages in advance with Product Availability Intelligence solution.
  • Surpassed one billion DSCSA Transaction Histories processed on the TraceLink network.
  • Surpassed one million DSCSA-compliance EPCIS transactions exchanged between trading partners on the TraceLink network.

TraceLink continues its 10+ year investment in helping companies across the pharmaceutical and healthcare supply chain—from pharmaceutical manufacturer to healthcare provider and retail pharmacy—meet the complex unit-level traceability, verification, and other requirements of track-and-trace regulations like DSCSA while helping those companies improve the predictability, agility, and performance of their supply chain operations.

Chasing Dreams in Tibet

BEIJING, July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on the dream-chasing stories of Tibetan youngsters:

Tibet is a vast but mysterious land in southwestern China. There, Tibetan youngsters are chasing their dreams.

Gesangciren comes from a herdsman family. As a child, he used to lie on the grass fields and gaze at planes flying over the sky. Back then, he only dared to imagine that one day, he himself would pilot a plane. In 2017, a policy of poverty alleviation via general aviation was carried out in Tibet, bringing new opportunities for over 20 youngsters from poor Tibetan families, including Gesangciren. From pilot training to short intercity flights, then to high-altitude long-distance flights, Gesangciren finally became one of the first batch of general aviation pilots in Tibet after repeated practice drills and rounds of screening.

One could say Gesangciren transformed his life with the help of national policy and aid projects, while Zhaxilamu, a Tibetan girl also from a herdsman family, changed her life via the internet. In Tibet, every village now has access to mobile reception. Zhaxilamu shares her daily life on short video platforms: Herding sheep, making Tibetan pastry zanba and fixing butter tea… These ordinary episodes of Tibetan life have garnered over a million followers on social media. With improved transportation and logistics in Tibet, deliveries have become more convenient, so Zhaxilamu also managed to do a great job in livestream influencing, which could help her fellow villagers market local agricultural products on the platforms. Now, she is trying to open a B&B as an additional income source for the villagers.

Danzengyixi, a cultural inheritor of traditional Tibetan Opera, is also grabbing the tide of the internet age to further promote and develop the art. It is said that he has been fond of Tibetan Opera since childhood. One time by coincidence, an opportunity came up, allowing him to learn the art from a Tibetan Opera master.

Now, Tibetan culture, with Tibetan Opera as a hallmark, has received support from the CPC and the Chinese government, and more and more young people are participating in the promotion of the art. After graduating from college in Beijing, Danzengyixi chose to go back to Tibet to further research on and promote Tibetan Opera. He compiled works, partnered with artists home and abroad, and innovated the performing art of Tibetan Opera. It is his ambition to reinvent Tibetan Opera by injecting new vitality into it.

Besides them, there is also Luobuzhandui, an English teacher who started his own business in Lhasa, hoping to open Tibetan children up to a larger world; and Cirendajie, a Tibetan teenager studying in Beijing, who received a reply to his letter from China’s Shenzhou spacecraft Taikonauts in the Tiangong space station… More stories about dreams like these are appearing every minute.

Over the past seven decades or so, absolute poverty was eradicated in Tibet; the Qinghai-Tibetan railway was completed on the Tibetan plateau, and mobile and internet reception became more accessible for ordinary people. In the new era, the CPC and the Chinese government have kept up their pace in improving public services, providing higher quality education and health care; they have made efforts to promote communication, interaction and integration among different ethnic groups, helping premium Tibetan culture gain respect while being passed on and developed. The realization of those dreams relies on the concerted efforts of the government, society and individuals. Meanwhile, it is exactly the realization of dreams that shows people the progress of modernization with Chinese characteristics in Tibet.

The vivid Tibetan life is captured in each and every Tibetan person.

Fluxx Announces Availability of Grantelligence™, First of its Kind Grantmaking Intelligence Platform

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Fluxx, the world’s number one cloud-based grants management software solution, is excited to announce the general availability of Grantelligence, a new business intelligence and analytics platform specifically designed for grantmaking. Holistic and self-serviceable, Grantelligence delivers insights to all stakeholders, enabling them to collaborate to grant faster, with more accuracy, using powerful storytelling.

Grantelligence Analytics Solution for Grants Management
Grantelligence Analytics Solution for Grants Management

“We are thrilled to announce Grantelligence to the philanthropic and publicly funded grantmaking communities,” said Kristy Gannon, CEO of Fluxx. “We set out to provide a solution that enables our users to take their data and build stunning visualizations of grant programs, allowing them to easily measure impact, generate accurate, compelling board presentations, and build dashboards that are trusted by all levels in the organization. Grantelligence represents a new way of leveraging data, one that hasn’t been seen in our world before.”

“We developed Grantelligence because grantmakers today generally do not have the proper tools and resources to present their data effectively,” said Fintan Kelly, VP of Product at Fluxx. “Philanthropists and government organizations alike often struggle. It regularly falls to a single person in the organization to act as a gatekeeper – managing time-consuming requests across multiple audiences. Usually, manual efforts are required to consolidate, cleanse, and update various data sources, forcing the organization to rely upon static spreadsheets or cumbersome external tools to deliver insights about the organization, programs, processes, and outcomes.

“And it’s not just this data preparation that is painful,” Kelly said. “Grantmakers today struggle to convey impact effectively. They utilize these static tables – fine for general reporting but not well suited to present data to their boards, governing bodies, and larger communities. The net result – stakeholders often don’t get the facts they need in an easy-to-consume, engaging way. Decisions can be impacted as meaningful insights get missed. And the heroes can go unsung.”

“We chose the name Grantelligence because our tool is specifically designed for grantmaking,” added Gannon. “We employed best-of-breed technology to create a product that works for our customers. This new offering enables grantmakers to make intelligent decisions so they can take action, increase impact, and tell their stories.”

Grantelligence is available worldwide for purchase as a complement to Grantmaker, Fluxx’s industry-leading grants management solution. More information about Grantellience is available at https://www.fluxx.io/grantelligence-grants-management
