Teqram Installs America's First AI-Powered Grinding Robot at AMP
ZWOLLE, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Teqram, a specialist in robots for the metal-working industry, has installed two AI-powered EasyGrinder systems at Accurate Metal Products (AMP) — marking the first U.S. deployment of this technology. The installation underscores Teqram's commitment to advancing robotic grinding capabilities in American manufacturing, while AMP's decision to invest in two systems from the outset reflects its drive to lead through innovation and efficiency. The EasyGrinder systems are now operating at AMP's Milwaukee, WI and Rockford, IL facilities, accelerating the company's innovation roadmap and improving throughput of oxy-fuel and plasma-cut metal parts. 'Teqram's vision-guided automation improves quality of finishing operations and decreases the cost per part' said Teqram's CEO, Frans Tollenaar. 'Deploying two systems at AMP shows how quickly fabricators can scale our grinding robot. It also proves the decisiveness of AMP as a pioneer.' The EasyGrinder pairs AI-enhanced 3D vision with Teqram's control software to autonomously scan and identify parts, then generate optimal handling, flipping and processing strategies — including automatic tool changes. Using industry hand tools such as pneumatic chisels and angle grinders, the system removes slag and lead-ins, rounds edges and cleans interior diameters to deliver consistent part quality, faster cycle times and reduced manual labor. Teqram's intuitive software and simple user interface eliminate the need for traditional robot programming, enabling rapid deployment and easy on-floor adjustments. 'These machines help us maintain the high standards our customers expect, while making life easier for our skilled tradespeople,' said AMP owner Woody Alverson. 'It's not about replacing people - it's about enhancing precision and freeing up time for more valuable work.' Founded in 1995 and ISO 9001 certified, AMP serves OEMs across mining, energy, agriculture and defense. With two full-service facilities in the Midwest, AMP pairs cutting, steel processing, Blanchard grinding, and blasting with modern automation. AMP procured the robot systems through Automated Fabrication Systems (AFS), Teqram's North American partner with 25+ years deploying fabricator automation. To further expand in North America, Teqram is an exhibitor at the Fabtech in September.

Password Party's Over: Nearly 50% of Americans Continue to Re-use Passwords Despite Phishing Attacks on the Rise
New Survey From Yubico Reveals Which U.S. Cities Are the Savviest (and Laziest) When It Comes to Cybersecurity STOCKHOLM & SANTA CLARA, Calif., August 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new survey from Yubico (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: YUBICO), a modern cybersecurity company on a mission to make the internet safer for everyone, today reveals a tale of two cities – or, more accurately, ten. While New Yorkers rush to catch a train and Californians are stuck in traffic, nearly half of Americans (48%) are still stuck using the same password for multiple online accounts. Even worse? When asked what they think is the most secure method, only 3% believed in using a hardware security key which is considered to be the most effective tool available to stop phishing. Conducted by Talker Research, the survey of online habits across the top 10 U.S. metro markets reveals a nation that thinks it's security-savvy but is still making rookie mistakes. From password reuse to overconfidence in spotting AI-enhanced phishing scams, here's a look at which cities are winning the security game – and which ones need to step it up. "Yubico's survey reveals a wake-up call: many people have a false sense of security when it comes to their online accounts being protected," said Ronnie Manning, Yubico's chief brand advocate. "They are overconfident in their safety, yet they still hold on to risky habits that can be tempting for today's modern hackers. The YubiKey isn't just a product; it's a statement that proves your security is non-negotiable. It gives you the power to secure your entire digital life with one simple, human touch." The City Showdown: Who Needs a Digital Pep Talk? New York vs. Los Angeles: Over 48% of all respondents admitting to reusing passwords, we can only imagine the number of New Yorkers who are using the same password for their finance app as they are for their favorite bodega rewards program. And in LA, where the traffic is a constant grind, maybe it's not a surprise that password updates are a rarity, with 19% only changing them when they are prompted or have experienced a security incident. Seattle vs. Denver vs. San Francisco Bay Area: Tech-giant cities Seattle and San Francisco agree: MFA is used by 70% of Seattleites and 67% of San Franciscans. In fact, San Franciscans take it a step further with 64% setting up passkeys whenever available. Meanwhile, their competitor for top U.S. tech hub, Denver, lags behind – being one of the most likely to use the same password for multiple accounts (50%) and to admit to not using any specific security methods beyond basic passwords (11%). Chicago vs. Atlanta: While a significant portion of consumers believe that strong, unique passwords are the most secure method (22%), they're missing the bigger picture. Atlanta, meanwhile, is on the rise, with 62% of consumers actively turning on MFA when available. Looks like southern hospitality includes protecting your friends from getting hacked. Dallas-Fort Worth vs. Houston: Does anyone in the Lone Star State still use their pet's name for a password? A surprising 13% of all respondents admitted to doing so. Let's make security as big as everything else in Texas! Washington, D.C. vs. New York City: The survey shows that 42% of people in Washington, D.C., are worried about their financial institutions being hacked. The cities are neck and neck when it comes to adopting passkeys, with 61% of New Yorkers and 62% of D.C. area residents setting up the technology to protect their online accounts. The survey also found that despite a majority (62%) feeling confident they can spot a phishing attack, 39% reported experiencing a cybersecurity incident in the last year. With over 64% of people turning on MFA, the momentum is there, but most are still using less secure methods like text message codes. The fact remains that the only 2FA method to defend against phishing attacks 100% of the time is a hardware security key. For more survey insights, see here. About Yubico Yubico (Nasdaq Stockholm: YUBICO) is a modern cybersecurity company on a mission to make the internet safer for everyone. As the inventor of the YubiKey, we set the gold standard for modern phishing-resistant, hardware-backed authentication, stopping account takeovers and making secure logins simple. Since 2007, we've helped shape global authentication standards, co-creating FIDO2, WebAuthn, and FIDO U2F, and introduced the original passkey. Today, our passkey technology secures people and organizations in over 160 countries—transforming how digital identity is protected from onboarding to account recovery. Trusted by the world's most security-conscious brands, governments, and institutions, YubiKeys work out of the box with hundreds of apps and services, delivering fast, passwordless access without friction or compromise. We believe strong security should never be out of reach. Through our philanthropic initiative, Secure it Forward, we donate YubiKeys to nonprofits supporting at-risk communities.

Suva and BearingPoint revolutionize workplace safety with virtual reality
AMSTERDAM & ZURICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Preventing workplace accidents is essential not only for protecting employees but also for reducing financial and operational risks for companies. This is especially true in the construction industry, where workers face daily exposure to hazards. While safety measures are continuously being improved, Switzerland still records between 260,000 and nearly 300,000 workplace accidents annually – often on construction sites – due to non-compliance with safety protocols, time pressure, or negligence. By combining immersive technology with real-life risk scenarios, Swiss Safety VR makes training more engaging, more impactful, and more scalable. Share A scalable simulation platform with real-life scenarios for safety training In collaboration with BearingPoint, Suva has developed a cutting-edge training platform incorporating Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (XR). After evaluating the technological potential of these tools, BearingPoint created immersive training scenarios focused on high-risk tasks such as securing heavy loads on construction sites or preventing falls from unprotected areas. This step was crucial in identifying ways to enhance traditional safety approaches. The project team then developed prototypes to demonstrate how immersive technologies can help prevent accidents and convey safety instructions clearly. The platform was also designed to be scalable and user-friendly for a large audience. Together, BearingPoint and Suva created a comprehensive operating model, a robust technological architecture, and a new end-to-end service offering for the Swiss market called Swiss Safety VR. A growing library of 20-minute interactive VR experiences – illustrating the real-world consequences of unsafe practices or workplace accidents and proving more educational, efficient, and cost-effective than traditional methods – is continuously updated. The team also provided structured support for ongoing process improvement and scenario simulation and facilitated change management through train-the-trainer services, which were critical for integrating the XR platform into Suva's internal workflows. A key success factor was the strong focus on collaboration. By co-investing in VR safety content with various industry stakeholders – such as Swiss trade associations and major construction companies – the collaboration unlocked significant synergy potential. Matthias Roeser, Partner at BearingPoint, states: 'Together with Suva, we are using virtual reality to deliver practical and effective workplace safety training. By combining immersive technology with real-life risk scenarios, Swiss Safety VR makes training more engaging, more impactful, and more scalable. This partnership reflects our commitment to innovation: we have harnessed advanced technology to enhance workplace safety while also improving efficiency and controlling costs. By making the platform widely accessible, we are helping raise safety standards across industries.' Immersive training experiences to enhance workplace safety The launch of the Swiss Safety VR platform allows companies and their customers to improve their business processes while integrating modern, innovative training and communication techniques into daily operations. This new tool enables a significant improvement of existing training initiatives and supports a seamless transition to fully mobile and immersive training formats. The platform has the potential to greatly reduce the need for on-site workshops, which can lead to substantial time and cost savings. Additionally, participants can retain safety information better than with traditional classroom or e-learning formats. By offering the content free of charge to all organizations – including Swiss schools – BearingPoint and Suva are democratizing access to high-quality VR training, even for smaller organizations with limited budgets. The platform is available on the Meta Quest 3 headset in Switzerland's official national languages: German, French, and Italian, as well as English. Nathanaël Bonvin, Programme Manager for New Technologies at Suva, explains: 'The Swiss Safety VR platform allows us to offer truly engaging and effective training experiences that not only motivate participants but significantly improve safety outcomes. We chose to work with BearingPoint because their expertise and innovative approach were a perfect match for Suva's commitment to advancing safety training.'
