ShipFlex is a game-changer for businesses that need fast, predictable deliveries to stay competitive,” said Nishith Rastogi, Founder and CEO of Locus.

Retail businesses like Lulu Group International are adopting Locus ShipFlex to achieve a competitive edge. Here’s what they have to say:

“As customer demand skyrockets, the complexity of managing our carrier network has proven to be a huge optimization opportunity. With Locus’ ShipFlex, we can streamline third-party deliveries with rich carrier integrations, real-time tracking, and more on a single dashboard. This has enabled us to take full control of our third-party order-to-delivery process, operate more efficiently, and ensure timely deliveries, resulting in an enhanced customer experience,” said Shinhas Majeed, Group General Manager – eCommerce at Lulu Group International.

By deploying ShipFlex, businesses can also:

UL Solutions Partners with CDP to Release New Disclosure API

Leave a comment

CDP’s new API will enable a streamlined disclosure experience for companies working with UL Solutions.

NORTHBROOK, Ill., March 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science, today announced that it partnered with CDP Worldwide (CDP), a nonprofit organization, to develop its new disclosure application programming interface (API). This API will help CDP in their work, assisting companies, cities, states and regions in disclosing their environmental data.

UL Solutions partnered with CDP to develop its new disclosure application programming interface (API). This API will help CDP in their work, assisting companies, cities, states and regions in disclosing their environmental data.

In 2023, CDP will pilot this new API, offering a selection of its software partners improved integration with CDP’s disclosure platform. The API will be available to participating accredited solutions providers (ASP) and their customers for the 2023 disclosure cycle, focusing on the corporate climate change questionnaire in this inaugural year. This improved API will further support CDP in achieving its goal of enabling companies, cities, states and regions to enhance their environmental transparency and action.

Organizations working with participating CDP ASPs in 2023 will also notice an improved experience. UL Solutions will be one of the partners offering the API to its customers this year — building on the UL360 Sustainability Essentials Software’s capabilities from collection to delivery of environmental, social and governance (ESG) data.

CDP’s software ASPs support organizations with collecting and preparing their environmental data and reporting it to CDP. Gold ASPs can offer global support, whereas silver ASP partners are accredited in specific countries. The disclosure API will allow participating ASPs, including gold software provider UL Solutions, and the disclosing organizations they work with to automatically retrieve their customers’ questionnaires from CDP and transfer data from the provider’s own platform into CDP’s online response system. This data transfer helps provide an enhanced and streamlined disclosure experience, reducing the need for manual data entry. It also allows CDP ASPs to leverage their platforms’ existing capabilities to support organizations’ CDP disclosure processes.

“With the increased demand for environmental data, CDP’s disclosure API enables CDP-accredited solutions providers to offer a more seamless disclosure experience. UL Solutions will also be one of the partners using the API to enable customers to seamlessly integrate data collected and calculated within UL 360 Sustainability Software into their CDP responses,” said Clayton Sanderson, senior operations manager at UL Solutions.

“We are grateful for UL Solutions’ dedication to working with us on this important development,” said Paul Robins, global head of programs at CDP Worldwide. “As well as partnering with us to build the disclosure API, they will be one of the accredited solutions providers using it with their customers this year.”

GPU and ASIC Solutions

Aetina provides different types of form factors based on GPUs or ASICs, such as MXMs, graphic cards, and edge computing systems. The MXMs that are powered by NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based GPU offer extra computing power to existing AI systems, ensuring low-latency data analytics tasks. The MXMs and systems that are built with ASICs, on the other hand, are ideal for the creation of any specific applications or AI systems that involve multi-inference processes.

Embedded Computers Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin Series

As an Elite member of the NVIDIA Partner Network, Aetina offers a variety of edge computing systems and platforms powered by the NVIDIA® Jetson™ edge AI and robotics platform. Aetina’s newly released embedded computers are built with the Jetson Orin™ series SoMs—Jetson AGX Orin™, Jetson Orin™ NX, and Jetson Orin Nano™; these small-sized systems and platforms, supporting different peripherals, can be easily integrated into larger AI-powered systems while also being able to function as a standalone AI computer.

AI Inference Platforms

Aetina’s MegaEdge is a series of AI inference platforms that feature a powerful CPU and are compatible with either graphic cards or MXM modules to deal with heavy workloads and complex AI analytic tasks. The latest MegaEdge model supports up to two passively cooled graphics cards and up to two ASIC-based M.2; developers can use the MegaEdge model for high-level AI inference by installing proper graphic cards and AI accelerators into it.

Edge Device Monitoring and Management

Aetina delivers a complete solution to help AI system owners efficiently manage all the edge devices in their system networks even if the devices are located in different places. System owners can set up a private server and monitor all their edge devices with EdgeEye—a cloud management platform created by Aetina to let the system owners quickly find any malfunctioning edge devices that need to be fixed or replaced. EdgeEye features a user-friendly interface that shows the real-time status of all connected edge devices, allowing the system owners to have a clear idea if their devices are functioning normally.
