As a Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) provider, Rhenus assumes overarching responsibility for managing logistics partners and processes. The system has been specifically tailored to support the requirements of the circular economy, ensuring full transparency, optimized material flows, and efficient, data-driven supply chain operations. In a circular project like Looper Textile Co., the Control Tower plays a key role in enabling textile reuse and recycling by seamlessly coordinating all stakeholders and creating end-to-end visibility.
'Our 4PL Control Tower provides a central platform for the coordinated and integrated management of all logistics activities and increases visibility along the entire value chain. This is crucial to achieving Looper Textile Co.'s goals,' explains Chris Gerfertz, Managing Global Director at Rhenus 4PL Solutions. 'We're proud to contribute to the success of Looper Textile Co. by providing digital supply chain visibility and management through our 4PL Control Tower. As part of the Rethmann Group, it's great to see how REMONDIS and Rhenus are combining their strengths in recycling and logistics to drive practical, scalable solutions for circular textile flows.'
Enabling circular flows: Over 70 million garments sorted in 2024
Looper Textile Co. enables circular textiles through reuse and preparing for recycling. Operating out of two sorting facilities in Germany and one in Poland, while working with a global network of partners, Looper sorts into over 200 categories based on material and garment type. In 2023, the first year of operations, Looper helped extend the life of over 40 million garments, and over 72 million garments in 2024, 65% reuse, 25% recycling, and <10% responsibly disposed due to contamination. A commitment to innovation within Looper includes a pilot line for automated sorting using near-infrared and optical sensor technology, meeting the precise material requirements of emerging textile-to-textile recycling solutions.

AIStorm & Tower Semiconductor Introduce Cheetah HS, World's First Up-to-260K FPS AI-in-Imager Chip for Inspection, Robotics & Sports
HOUSTON, Texas, and MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel - August 12, 2025: AIStorm, the market leader in charge-domain solutions for edge AI, and Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM), a leading foundry of high-value analog semiconductor solutions, today announced the availability of the Cheetah HS — a high-speed, 120×80-pixel imager with first-layer AI capability that captures up to 260,000 frames per second — 2,000 to 4,000 times faster than conventional CMOS sensors. The Cheetah HS architecture is made possible by Tower's unique charge-domain imaging platform which is leveraged by AIStorm's proprietary charge-domain-based analog AI neurons. By combining ultra-high-speed imaging with charge-domain AI, Cheetah HS slashes system power requirements and bill-of-materials cost for designers of robotics, drones, vibration- and structure-health monitors, high-speed security and surveillance tracking systems, manufacturing and assembly lines, barcode readers, PCB-inspection equipment, biometric unlock systems, vehicle-speed detectors, and even golf-swing analyzers. 'Many consumer and industrial applications require ultra-slow-motion analysis of real-time events to analyze performance or detect anomalies. Such solutions are very costly, and our Cheetah HS solution makes them affordable for a wide range of markets and end applications,' said David Schie, CEO of AIStorm. 'Tower is a global leader in charge-domain global-shutter pixels, making them the ideal partner for the development and production of such groundbreaking products.' 'We are very pleased to see the fruits of our long term, close collaboration with AIStorm on this unique breakthrough platform of analog charge-domain embedded AI technology,' said Dr. Avi Strum, SVP and GM of the Sensors and Displays BU at Tower Semiconductor. 'Its inherent low-power, low-cost, and high-performance virtues will enable a family of affordable, high-volume products in the near future.' Key advantages of Cheetah HS Adjustable frame rate up to 260,000 frames per second (fps) Integrated LED driver (programmable up to 40 mA) Enhanced low light performance Integrated charge-domain neuron layer outputting pulse streams for downstream neural-network layers or raw high-speed video Dramatic cost advantage over competitors Lowers processing costs by capturing images quickly, leaving more time per frame for processing Ability to capture extremely high-speed events and analyze them in slow motion How it works Traditional high-speed cameras utilize expensive high-speed data converters to capture data, which separates the AI input layer from the pixels, increasing the BOM cost and necessitating high-speed connectors and interface components. Cheetah HS's charge-domain architecture converts incoming photons to charge, computes the first neural-network layer in analog form, then outputs a pulse train that can be processed by downstream networks. The capture rate is programmable, allowing lower frame rates with faster capture times (reducing the cost of processing) or faster frame rates for accurate measurements or slow-motion analysis. AvailabilityCheetah HS is available now in both chip form as well as full reference-camera systems [ About AIStorm AIStorm is the leader in AI-in-sensor edge solutions for imaging, audio and biometrics.

Wayfindr is Here to Show Brands How to "Find a Way" to Navigate Rapidly Shifting Markets in 2025
Wayfindr, formerly CBIP Logistics, has unveiled a new identity and service architecture to help brands 'find a way' through today's rapidly changing business environment. As a leading 4PL provider, it offers flexible, tech-driven solutions empowering brands to scale globally with confidence. Hong Kong, August 6, 2025 -- 4PL Logistics: The New Standard for E-commerce Logistics Traditionally, 4PL logistics was primarily adopted by large enterprises with complex supply chains, while smaller e-commerce businesses relied on local 3PL providers. Today, this landscape is evolving. More brands are looking beyond basic fulfillment services and seeking comprehensive logistics solutions that offer greater flexibility, efficiency, and end-to-end visibility. Wayfindr answers this need with a modular 4PL model designed to simplify global logistics, optimize delivery times, and help brands scale without operational bottlenecks. CBIP Logistics Rebrands to Wayfindr Wayfindr - The 4PL logistics engine behind every great brand Amid these changes, the logistics company formerly known as CBIP Logistics is revamping its services and rebranding as Wayfindr. While the new name and image bring a fresh feel to the Hong Kong-based 4PL logistics company, the real reason behind the rebrand is to better communicate its unique capabilities to brands in need of more agile logistics services. After a decade of growth, Wayfindr is repositioning itself as a truly brand-centric logistics partner, offering not just fulfillment service but modular 4PL logistics solutions designed to help brands scale globally without friction. Supply chains have been rerouted and markets have stalled this year due to tariff shocks, increasing the need for personalized logistics help. The new branding and name were chosen to show the company's dedication to 'finding a way' for its brand customers. Wayfindr helps brands find a way to scale to new markets, deliver on brand promises, and manage all logistics services with ease. 'We've built a 4PL logistics company that caters to this market of e-commerce logistics through personalized care and filling operational gaps, and we wanted to better present the kind of company we are to the market. We don't just do X fulfillment in X market, we have so many flexible options. Whatever that one customer needs, we just find a way to get it done,' says Nick Bartlett, Co-Founder & Director of Wayfindr. Global Reach, Local Expertise The newly rebranded Wayfindr is a fourth-party logistics (4PL) company founded to help growing brands create better global logistics networks. The company offers a modular logistics program powered by its proprietary platform, Bundle. Wayfindr designs end-to-end logistics solutions that span the globe, enabling fast-growing brands to expand confidently and operate more efficiently. Founded in 2017 by Nick Bartlett and Chris Crutchley, Wayfindr is now based in Hong Kong, with offices in Mainland China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the UK, the EU, North America, and Australia.

Wayfindr includes a new visual identity, digital experience, and product architecture aimed at clarifying Wayfindr's full-service and modular offerings. New product structures — Wayfindr Go, Flex, Explore, and Plus—are tailored to different needs and growth stages. The launch of Bundle, Wayfindr's proprietary logistics management software, allows brands to manage logistics and linked operations from one central platform. The brand language is now clearer and more aligned with the needs of founders and e-commerce brands. Despite these changes, Wayfindr emphasizes that it will continue to offer the same high-quality full service logistics and customer care that clients received under the CBIP name. The company remains committed to customer service, leadership by industry experts, agile logistics solutions, and helping brands scale with ease. Wayfindr's technology stack is designed to connect its global logistics network, and the company persists in leading with sustainability goals.
