KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 -- SK Magic has proved its world-class design power once again as its Triple Care Dishwasher has won the IDEA Gold Medal at the International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) 2020. Triple Care Dishwasher became the world’s first dishwasher to be honoured with the IDEA Gold Medal, the first prize in the Home/Kitchen Appliances category. Released in January, Triple Care Dishwasher is a third-generation dishwasher model that offers not only dishwashing and drying but also care and storage functions. With a clean and linear design, it was created in a more sophisticated and professional image by reflecting the product concept to also function as storage. The company’s Double Flex Induction Range and All-in-one Oven Range became finalists at the awards, according to a statement. “The accomplishment to win the IDEA Awards is an outcome of our advanced technological power matched with differentiated designs. SK Magic will continue striving to introduce products that reflect our differentiated design philosophy,” said SK Magic’s Design Team leader, Shin Dong-ju. Hosted by the Industrial Designers Society of America, IDEA is one of the most prestigious design awards in the world and it was held for the 40th time this year. From not only the recently released products, but also those scheduled for release within the next three years, excellent products are selected each year via comprehensive evaluation on the design quality, suitability of materials, innovativeness and environmental consideration, among others. -- BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 -- For the first time, Alibaba Group Holding Limited (Alibaba or Alibaba Group) has revealed its New Manufacturing model, the Xunxi Digital Factory (Xunxi). Powered by Alibaba’s cloud computing infrastructure and IoT, the Hangzhou-based factory offers SMEs a digitalised end-to-end manufacturing supply chain that allows for fully-customised, demand-driven production. This gives smaller businesses and manufacturers, in particular, the ability to benefit from the digitalisation of China’s over RMB30 trillion (over US$4 trillion) manufacturing market through being able to respond better and quicker to customers’ changing needs. (US$1 = RM4.131) “Data is the core of New Manufacturing and harnessing data insights is key to capturing new opportunities in the shift in consumer preference for personalised rather than mass-produced goods,” said Alibaba Group, Xunxi Digital Technology Company chief executive officer, Alain Wu in a statement. The introduction of New Manufacturing is another milestone in the implementation of Alibaba’s ‘Five New’ strategy which was first introduced by founder Jack Ma in 2016, and comprises New Retail, New Manufacturing, New Finance, New Technology and New Energy. Powered by new technologies, the factory is able to produce small-batch orders at reasonable costs and with shorter delivery times, consequently increasing manufacturing efficiency from 25 per cent to an average of 55 per cent. Since its inception, the factory has collaborated with Taobao and Tmall merchants, live streaming broadcasters and streetwear designers to explore and experiment with new possibilities of apparel manufacturing. In the future, Xunxi Digital Factory will help apparel customers reduce inventory levels even further, while continuing to increase efficiency as well as the level of customisation. -- BERNAMA KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 -- CSOP Asset Management Pte Ltd debuts first ETF - ICBC CSOP FTSE Chinese Government Bond Index ETF (ticker: US$ counter: CYB/ SGD counter: CYC) in Singapore, in partnership with ICBC Asset Management.

According to a statement, Fresche’s solutions provide customers the ability to adopt agile modern systems and open languages by converting RPG to PHP or Java, and CA 2E (Synon) to Java. The addition of RPG to PHP gives companies running IBM i another option to enable competitive advantage while addressing inherent challenges with readily available skills, resources and difficult-to-maintain legacy applications. PHP is a leading open source choice of IBM i clients because it has a great, proven ecosystem and is an accessible language to create quality, maintainable code using RPG developers or existing PHP developers who have no experience on IBM i. Most organisations are seeking better, faster ways to deliver powerful new digital experiences to their customers and employees. For companies that rely on legacy applications running on IBM’s Power Systems IBM i servers, this often requires piecing together capabilities from a mix of traditional and modern application architectures and technologies. Over the past few years, Fresche has made significant investment in developing the next generation of smart automated solutions that are offered in incremental delivery models and flexible financial models. -- BERNAMA NTT Com honoured in 2 categories by Frost & Sullivan 2020 Asia Pacific Best Practices Awards18/9/2020 KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 -- NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) was recently recognised as the award recipient for 2020 Japan IoT Service Provider of the Year and 2020 Japan Data Center Service Provider of the Year by the Frost & Sullivan 2020 Asia Pacific Best Practices Awards programme.
