Nexteer China Marks New Production Milestone of Two Million Rack-Assist Electric Power Steering Systems


SUZHOU, China, Aug. 4, 2021 — Nexteer Automotive, a leader in intuitive motion control, announced its China production milestone of two million Rack-Assist Electric Power Steering (REPS) systems at its Nexteer Suzhou Plant.

"Since the production of REPS began in Suzhou in 2015, we have provided these innovative, high-quality steering systems to numerous OEM customers across the region," said Yi Ren, General Manager, Nexteer Suzhou. "Our REPS systems support growing industry megatrends such as electrification and automation, and we’re constantly updating our product portfolio to meet the growing need of OEMs for advanced safety and performance."

Nexteer’s REPS is designed for heavier vehicles to handle higher front-axle loads and optimize packaging space. While providing branded steering feel and road feel, REPS also enables these heavier vehicles to take advantage of all the advanced safety and performance features enabled by EPS technology, such as lane keeping, park assist, traffic jam assist, lane departure warning and more.

REPS systems are also playing a critical role in global OEMs’ transition toward electrification. For example, with the added weight of batteries in electric vehicles, OEMs are also turning to Nexteer’s High-Output REPS systems, which nearly doubles the steering load capability of standard REPS. Nexteer’s High-Output REPS system can steer up to 24 kilonewtons (kN) of load compared with 10-17 kN for a typical REPS system.

"Nexteer produced the world’s first 12-volt REPS system in 2010 and has since become the global leader for REPS. Our REPS system provides millions of drivers around the world every day with industry-leading steering assistance and driving experience through advanced safety, performance and comfort – making driving safer, greener and more fun." said Dr. David Fan, Global Vice President and Asia Pacific Division President, Nexteer Automotive.  "Nexteer continues to leverage our expertise in software, electronics and vehicle system integration to develop innovative solutions that enable a new era of safety and performance for all levels of automated driving, as well as supporting all modes of vehicle propulsion, be it traditional internal combustion, hybrid or pure electric systems."

In addition to REPS, Nexteer offers a complete portfolio of EPS systems that can steer vehicles of all sizes – from small cars to heavy-duty trucks and light commercial vehicles. Other EPS solutions from Nexteer include Dual Pinion-Assist EPS (DPEPS), Single Pinion-Assist EPS (SPEPS), Column-Assist EPS (CEPS) and High-Availability EPS.

Dynamic Threat Landscape Urges European Organizations to Turn to Managed & Professional Security Services

Financial services will remain the largest contributor to the European MSS/PSS market until 2024, finds Frost & Sullivan

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 30, 2021 — Increasing cyber-threats coupled with a shortage of cybersecurity professionals in Europe is compelling organizations to turn toward managed and professional security services (MSS/PSS) companies. Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, European Managed & Professional Security Services Market, reveals that the dynamic threat landscape requires security vendors to look for efficiencies and invest in new technologies incorporating automation such as breach and attack simulation (BAS) platforms. Despite being fragmented, the European MSS/PSS market is estimated to reach $10.92 billion by 2024 from $8.50 billion in 2021. This study includes revenue forecast by region, vertical, and enterprise size, growth drivers, key trends, and insights for chief information security officers (CISOs).

"Financial services is the largest contributor to the European MSS/PSS market, accounting for 26.4% of total market revenue in 2020, and will remain the largest revenue contributor till 2024," said Piotr Kopczynski, Security Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "The manufacturing sector, the second-largest contributor to the market, has witnessed a significant increase in the MSS/PSS penetration rates over the past three years as a result of increasingly high-profile attacks that halted production and negatively impacted revenues for affected organizations."

Kopczynski added: "Additionally, increasing security incidents and the continuing shortage of cybersecurity professionals will drive demand for better artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled security technologies that can improve communication between customers and MSS security operations centers (SOCs). Further, vendors that do not adapt their portfolios to incorporate automation in the SOC or fail to address competition from cloud solutions vendors baking security into their offerings will have difficulty growing."

Organizations’ move to mitigate the dynamically changing threat landscape presents lucrative growth prospects for market participants, such as:

  • Expansion into the Operational Technology (OT) Market: Managed security service provider (MSSP) vendors should expand their service portfolio through partnerships with OT security vendors that are helping secure OT networks.
  • Breach and Attack Simulation Technology: MSSPs need to invest in market education initiatives to increase awareness about BAS technology and its advantages over traditional cyber risk assessment solutions, such as human-based penetration testing, red team exercises, and vulnerability management tools.
  • Well-designed Zero-trust Environments: Security initiatives are increasingly focused on zero-trust framework environments; thus, PSS firms need to strengthen their offerings to put zero-trust experts at the forefront of every engagement.

European Managed & Professional Security Services Market is the latest addition to Frost & Sullivan’s Security research and analyses available through the Frost & Sullivan Leadership Council, which helps organizations identify a continuous flow of growth opportunities to succeed in an unpredictable future.

Experts call for increasing rural area digital connectivity to alleviate poverty

SINGAPORE, July 28, 2021 — To close the digital divide and drive economic recovery during the pandemic, cross sectors collaboration are needed to lower the costs of rural area connectivity and improve digital literacy. This was the crux of the presentations by experts at the a webinar on "Strategies for Addressing the Asia-Pacific Digital Divide – Increasing Connectivity to Drive Economic Recovery" organized by the Financial Times and Huawei on Thursday.

Experts call for increasing rural area digital connectivity to alleviate poverty
Experts call for increasing rural area digital connectivity to alleviate poverty

Asia Pacific is speeding up for digital transformation and underpinned by dynamic markets and young population. The significant rift of digital access yet hinder wider shares of digital benefits, which in turn leads to slower recovery from pandemic. ICT leverages fundamental ways to drive economic rebound.

The importance of digital inclusion is echoed by Yin Haitao, professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University’, whose newly released report on using ICT solutions to promote economic development and alleviate poverty.

The report, named "Digital Involvement and Poverty Alleviation: A Huawei Approach," was co-authored by Yin and Chris Marquis, Professor at Samuel C. Johnson College of Business, Cornell University.

The domain of corporate sustainability has long faced the challenge of making projects of this nature financially viable. To reach underdeveloped areas and improve digital coverage, Huawei initiates RuralStar program together with local operators globally including in Thailand and Indonesia since 2017. This solution replaces traditional towers with simple poles, and enabling a shift from diesel generator power to solar power. By the end of 2020, the RuralStar had been implemented in over 60 countries, with 50 million people benefited from this initiative.

Apart from agreeing vendors like Huawei’s approach on digital infrastructure access, labor is another prior concern. Poon King Wang, Director of the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities, Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), calls for long-term strategies and sustained support to upskill people across generations and ensure wellbeing of workers in digital transformation.

Sofia Shakil, Director of the Economic Programs, Asia Foundation, addressed the negative impact of the pandemic on women unemployment and the urgency to invest in skills building.

In 2017, Huawei, the Bangladesh Government (ICT Division), and Robi Axiata jointly launched the Digital Training Bus project, to bring digital skills to women in the heart of rural Bangladesh. More than 60,000 women had received training till now, and 160,000 more will benefit from it by 2023.

To lessen the imminent labor deficit in APAC, 400,000 more are expected to be digitally upskilled in the next five years through Huawei educational flagship programs such as Seeds for the Future and ASEAN Academy, according to Michael MacDonald, Chief Digital Officer at Huawei Asia Pacific.

Departing from different fields, speakers share views of building ecosystem cohesively including government, industry and thought-leaderships from third party to drive digital inclusion. "Ultimately, we need to build up trust across the different stakeholders in the ecosystem", said Poon King Wang on sustaining the benefits of tech.

Bairong Inc. Releases Inaugural Environmental, Social and Governance Report for 2020

Technology enables Bairong to maintain its leading service position, driving the upgrade of the financial services industry

BEIJING, July 26, 2021 — Bairong Inc ("Bairong", 6608.HK), a leading independent AI-powered technology platform in China, has officially released its inaugural 2020 Environmental, Social and Governance Report ("the Report"). The Report outlines Bairong’s initiatives and investments across six sections: Corporate Governance, Technological Innovation, Customer Service, Talent Development, Green Development, and Giving Back to Society.

Committed to the concept of "Technology for Good," the Report highlights Bairong’s significant investment in technology innovation in 2020. Its AI Finance Lab successfully developed an intelligent outbound call-making robot and an automatic machine learning platform; while its Financial Big Data Research Center released a timely research report titled, "The Chinese Economy During the COVID-19 Pandemic".

On the technology front, Bairong also developed core systems and explored new frontiers for specific financial scenarios. To address the shortage of AI talent and difficulties in AI application development, Bairong established its ORCA Automatic Machine Learning Platform, which has halved the length of the modeling-to-deployment cycle. Furthermore, its new Intelligent Customer Service System helps financial institutions reduce costs and improve efficiency and the Intelligent Risk Control Middle Platform assists banks and other traditional financial institutions to achieve digital transformation and innovation in risk control.

In addition, the Report demonstrates Bairong’s ongoing investment in R&D. In 2020, the company obtained 18 intellectual property rights pertaining to data insight, federated machine learning, risk control cloud platforms, business intelligence (BI) analysis and model monitoring — bringing its total IP count close to 100.

The full life-cycle intelligent risk management and precision marketing solutions support improved front-end marketing and customer acquisition with pre-lending fraud prevention, dynamic early warning during lending, and post-lending full process services. Last year also saw Bairong optimize its customer feedback mechanism with nine operating management principles and Customer Feedback Handling Procedures to ensure quality service and timely responses to feedback.

With a commitment to enhancing its positive influence on society, the 2020 ESG Report underscores the role Bairong plays in social responsibility. Recognizing that risk control is becoming more challenging for financial institutions, Bairong’s new intelligent risk control system helps financial institutions package back-end resources so they can be harnessed to reduce business risk at the front end. The system can be used in a variety of risk control scenarios such as anti-fraud, risk assessment, risk warning, and post-loan management.

The Report also covers Bairong’s continued efforts of improving its corporate governance structure in 2020 to continuously improve efficiency, manage risk control levels, and prevent compliance risk. In response to the pandemic, the company established a new risk identification and management process in response to emerging risks such as extreme weather, human environmental damage, infectious diseases and internet security. In tandem, new Compliance Risk Management Measures ensure Bairong is able to realize efficient identifications in risk management and maintain operating management and performance in accordance with laws, regulations and standards.

Furthering its commitment to a sustainable future, the 2020 ESG report outlines Bairong’s continued commitment to green development. By assisting in the digital transformation of the financial services industry, Bairong is actively supporting reduced energy and resource consumption across the globe. Meanwhile, the company has introduced key initiatives to reduce its own environmental impact, including green offices, green procurement processes, and green data centers.
