12.3.2024 12:01:32 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Kinaxis (TSX:KXS), the global leader in supply chain orchestration, and a pioneer in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), has been laying the groundwork for continued success in the industry through a rapidly growing patent portfolio. Over the past five years, the company’s patent portfolio has grown by more than 500% and as of today, 55% of the portfolio is for AI and ML-based innovations.
The exponential growth comes as a direct result of significant investments in research and development as part of the company’s commitment to strengthen its leadership position as a trusted technology provider to chief supply chain officers globally. As part of a robust innovation program, Kinaxis continues rolling out a steady stream of AI- and ML-powered capabilities, which empower its 40,000 users to build the most intelligent supply chains on the planet.
Kinaxis uses AI innovation to drive better results while maintaining the speed and agility required to navigate modern supply chain challenges - by generating prescriptive recommendations, predicting and surfacing insights, automating processes and enhancing productivity through its platform. This human-centred approach puts people first, augmenting their capabilities to support faster and more informed decision making.
“Kinaxis has always been about making life easier for the people behind supply chains and the people they serve, and our patent portfolio is a strong indicator of our success innovating in this space,” said Chantal Bisson-Krol, vice president of AI & ML solutions at Kinaxis. “Our approach to innovating with AI/ML is no different. Our solutions are purpose-built, ensuring AI augments the people using it, so they can make decisions with more speed and accuracy. The recent AI patent growth we’ve seen demonstrates that this approach is working.”
“In an era where supply chains are increasingly complex and where agility, resilience, and sustainability are imperatives, the companies that best leverage AI/ML to enhance the capabilities of their supply chain teams will emerge as leaders,” said Tariq Farooq, former chief supply chain officer at Sanofi. “Kinaxis has a laser-like approach to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and the growth of its AI/ML patent portfolio make it well-placed to support their client teams in their supply chain transformations.”
Pending and issued patents cover all aspects of Kinaxis technology, examples of which include:
- Dynamic Demand Sensing patents that provide better understanding of how both internal (e.g. frequent price changes, new product introductions, changes to promotional plans) and external factors (e.g. weather, shifts in consumer behavior, local/national events) are influencing short- and long-term demand for their products.
- Patents that significantly expedite the various tasks in a ML workflow, providing timely responses and insights for retail scale data.
Kinaxis’ AI-powered technology and patented concurrency technique allows companies to orchestrate their supply chain network end-to-end from strategic planning to last-mile delivery. Kinaxis technology helps companies supply the agricultural industry with 40% of the world’s tractors, helps keep more than 110,000,000,000 teeth clean each year, and ensures more than 35 million pets are fed nutritious meals each year.

FDA Approves Promega OncoMate® MSI Dx Analysis System as Companion Diagnostic for KEYTRUDA® in MSI-High Solid Tumors10.11.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Promega OncoMate® MSI Dx Analysis System designed to identify patients with microsatellite high (MSI-H) solid tumors as a companion diagnostic designed for KEYTRUDA®, Merck’s (known as MSD outside the U.S. and Canada) anti-PD-1 therapy. OncoMate® MSI Dx Analysis System is a PCR-based assay designed to evaluate MSI status in solid tumor tissue. MSI status can be used to inform treatment decisions and support precision oncology strategies. “This approval reflects our dedication to providing meaningful diagnostic advances, developed to the highest quality and regulatory standards,” says Alok Sharma, Global Clinical Market Director at Promega. “Our test connects patients with the therapy most likely to help them, working alongside our pharmaceutical collaborators and the clinicians who use the result.” This approval was supported through a collaboration with Merck, which markets KEYTRUDA®. Together, the companies are working to a

Suzano Publishes First Report Aligned With Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures Recommendations10.11.2026 12:18:00 CET | Press release
Report offers insight on Suzano’s ecosystem health impacts, risks and opportunities, and reinforces its nature strategy Suzano, the world’s largest pulp producer, has published its first report aligned with the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). The TNFD reporting framework helps organizations identify and assess how their dependencies and impacts may generate nature and biodiversity related risks and opportunities, and to disclose how they are integrated into the company’s governance, strategy, and corporate management. Initially focused on Suzano’s direct Brazilian operations, the report establishes methodological foundations, strengthens internal capabilities, and creates a pathway for the gradual expansion of nature-related assessments and disclosures over the coming years. The report also reinforces Suzano’s Nature Strategy, launched in November 2025. As part of its ongoing commitment to stronger management and greater transparency reg
Robbyant Releases LingBot-Touch to Bring General-Purpose Touch Perception to Robots10.11.2026 10:23:00 CET | Press release
Robbyant, an embodied AI company within Ant Group, today announced the open-source release of LingBot-Touch, a tactile foundation model that gives robots a critical missing sense by enabling robust touch perception. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261109284905/en/ LingBot-Touch encodes magnetic tactile, visual tactile, and piezoresistive signals into unified tactile tokens for use by different action models. Pre-trained on nearly 5,000 hours of real-world tactile data, the model covers three mainstream sensing modalities—magnetic tactile, visual tactile, and piezoresistive sensing—and translates their diverse signals into a unified tactile representation. This allows different dexterous hands and action models to share and reuse tactile understanding, enabling robots to not only “see clearer” and “think deeper,” but also “feel sharper” during fine manipulation tasks, such as turning pages, unscrewing bottle ca
