Sereact raises $110 million investment to advance its ‘world model’ for robotics and AI

by

Sereact has raised a $110 million Series B round led by Headline, with participation from Bullhound Capital, Daphni, and Felix Capital.

Existing investors Air Street Capital, Creandum (who led the company’s 2025 Series A round), and Point Nine once again invested in Sereact.

The round funds two priorities: scaling Cortex 2 and entering the United States. Sereact will open its first US office in Boston this summer and hire commercial, application, and engineering staff locally.

Logistics company Evri set to trial autonomous guided vehicles in its Rugby, UK hub

by

Evri Group is looking to lead the way in innovation and automation as “the UK’s premier parcel delivery company” and has taken the next step on its robotics journey as it has announced it is trialling two automated guided vehicles (AGVs) at its Rugby hub, marking the first step in what Evri is calling “under the roof” robotics.

Currently, Evri has workers moving cages or pallets with cardboard in from one end of the hub to another all day, every day.

The introduction of these robotic vehicles means they can pick up the load, and as a growing business, investing in robotics like this allows existing workers to be redistributed to more productive and meaningful tasks to meet the growing demands of increased parcel volumes as well as being upskilled to become robot handlers.

Factory Automation Requires Precision Parts: How Robotics OEMs Are Qualifying Chinese CNC Suppliers in 2026

by

A collaborative robot arm contains hundreds of custom machined components. Actuator housings, gearbox flanges, joint brackets, and end-effector mounts each carry tight dimensional tolerances that determine whether the assembly performs to specification or introduces compounding error across the kinematic chain.

For robotics OEMs scaling from prototype to production volume, finding a CNC supplier that can consistently hold those tolerances is not a sourcing exercise – it is an engineering qualification process.

In 2026, a growing share of that qualification work is being directed at Chinese CNC manufacturers. The combination of machining capacity, material range, and unit economics makes China’s manufacturing base attractive for robotics hardware – and a new generation of structured platforms offering access to a verified CNC machining supplier network, where factories are pre-screened for equipment capability, tolerance range, and certification status before any RFQ is released, is changing how OEMs approach the search.

Packaging as a functional and sensory experience

In the cosmetics industry, packaging has evolved into a key part of the product experience. It is no longer only about protection or storage, but also about usability, perception, and brand identity. Every detail, from material choice to bottle shape, influences how a product is experienced before it is even applied.

This is especially important in skincare and beauty, where trust and product integrity are central to consumer decision-making. [Read more…] about How premium glass is redefining cosmetic packaging design

5 Surprising Reasons Online Card Games Are Gaining Popularity Among Gen Z Players

by

Gen Z has grown up with digital entertainment in every form, yet simple game formats still hold strong appeal. That may seem unexpected at first, but it makes sense when ease of access and fast play matter so much in daily life.

Gen Z also has the highest digital gaming penetration in the US. Meanwhile, mobile remains the largest segment of the global games market, which helps explain why easy-to-start online card games fit so well into current habits.

That trend becomes easier to understand with Solitaire, a game that feels familiar yet still offers a useful mental challenge. [Read more…] about 5 Surprising Reasons Online Card Games Are Gaining Popularity Among Gen Z Players

Minimizing Operational Hazards by Streamlining Data Organization and Control

by

Workplace risk is often discussed in terms of physical safety. Slips, falls, and equipment hazards tend to dominate the conversation. Yet a quieter, less visible threat exists in nearly every organization: disorganized information.

Poor data handling can lead to compliance issues, lost productivity, and costly mistakes. In many cases, the root cause of operational disruption is not a lack of effort, but a lack of structure.

Organized information management is not just an administrative concern. It is a core business function. When done correctly, it reduces uncertainty, improves decision-making, and strengthens resilience. This article explores how structured data practices can minimize risk and support long-term stability. [Read more…] about Minimizing Operational Hazards by Streamlining Data Organization and Control
