OMP Extends UnisonIQ with Agent Library and Agent Studio: AI Agents that Produce Executable Supply Chain Plans3.11.2026 15:00:00 CET | Press release
ANTWERPEN, BE / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2026 / OMP, a leader in supply chain orchestration, today extended UnisonIQ, the AI framework in its Unison Planning™ platform, with the Agent Library of ready-to-deploy AI agents and Agent Studio, where companies build their own. The agents run on the optimization engines in Unison Planning™ and produce executable supply chain plans. Bekaert is among the early adopters of UnisonIQ. Supply chain organizations face board-level pressure to show progress on AI, but many struggle to move beyond experiments. Generic AI models and decision-intelligence tools miss the industry-specific context and semantics that planning depends on, while planning tools with an AI layer on top lack reasoning depth. Both can produce a confident answer that ignores real-world constraints such as shelf life, co-products, and shared capacity. In UnisonIQ, by contrast, each agent works from a reality-based digital twin of the customer's own supply chain and calls on th

IXOPAY Announces IXO One, a Modular Payments Platform Built for an Era of Fluid Commerce3.11.2026 10:00:00 CET | Press release
DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2026 / IXOPAY, the leader in payment infrastructure enabling fluid commerce, today announced the launch of IXO One, an AI-native, modular payment platform that unifies orchestration, payments intelligence, and tokenization. It gives merchants the flexibility to buy what they need, build what they want, and adapt as commerce evolves. Built to power an era of fluid commerce and technology-driven payment experiences, IXO One provides the dynamic infrastructure needed to adapt quickly without ripping out or replacing their current payment stack. Traditional payment infrastructure makes it difficult for merchants to embrace fluid commerce and a rapidly changing payment market. From fragmented systems to rigid provider relationships, a new opportunity can require a heavy integration lift, slow time-to-market, and increased costs. IXO One's modular platform helps merchants mitigate the payment friction that leads to provider dependency, expensive mig
