This new solution is designed to provide scalability, allow for low-code extensibility, enable code updates without downtime, and give streamlined access to AI and ML capabilities. Its aim is to assist businesses in improving warehouse efficiency, adaptability, visibility, and operational performance, as well as to lower cost-to-serve and cost per case metrics within warehouse environments. "The warehouse is a pivotal component of the supply chain, so companies should look to enhance resilience and sustainability across their warehouse, transportation, and planning sectors to better meet customer needs," said Wayne Usie, Chief Strategy Officer at Blue Yonder. "Blue Yonder's supply chain solutions empower companies to coordinate sourcing, production, logistics, and network strategies within a unified platform. This comprehensive approach enables companies to effectively plan their network, warehouse, and labour capacities from start to finish, resulting in shortened lead times, improved service levels, optimised operational efficiencies, maximised business opportunities, and reduced costs." Development of Blue Yonder's warehouse management solutions has been underway for more than two decades. The company is rolling out several new features in upcoming releases, including enhanced equipment tracking powered by computer vision and machine learning to automate monitoring in the yard and create 3D yard maps for operational oversight. Other planned enhancements include advanced people-robot collaboration, providing performance tracking for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automatic assignment reprocessing for transaction errors. Additional capabilities will support retail store replenishment with inventory visibility, garment handling, and ratio packing tools aimed at improving efficiency in store inventory management for both retailers and logistics service providers. Blue Yonder is also adding capabilities for returns processing and tracking, such as visibility into Returns Merchandise Authorisation and automated decisioning for faster returns processing. An announced Warehouse Ops Agent tool is designed to monitor real-time operational changes and identify trends for informed decision-making within the warehouse setting. The firm provides its warehouse management solutions to customers spanning 19 industry sectors, including consumer products, food and beverage, grocery, automotive, industrial, life sciences, and logistics service providers.

Yank Technologies Selected for Prestigious NASA Phase II Contract for Dust-Tolerant Resonant Connectors
Yank Technologies collaborates with NASA for power interfacing solutions on lunar and planetary surfaces. BROOKLYN, N.Y., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yank Technologies, the developer of disruptive long range, high power wireless charging solutions, has been selected for a two-year follow-on Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to advance Dust-Tolerant Resonant Connectors for lunar and planetary surfaces. Dust-Tolerant Resonant Connectors are extremely efficient interlocking coils for robust power transmission on the Moon and Mars. They are completely insulated with no exposed conductive terminals to operate effectively in extremely dusty and dirty environments, making them ideal for space exploration. With the extreme conditions of the Moon and Mars, traditional connectors are subject to unreliable mating and physical wear and tear over time. Dust-Tolerant Resonant Connectors are designed to withstand the roughest environmental conditions. Leveraging their wireless power expertise, Yank Technologies has successfully delivered Dust-Tolerant Resonant Connectors to NASA and will be advancing these products for future NASA missions. Yank Technologies develops customizable wireless power solutions for industrial, automotive, consumer, and space applications. With eighteen patents granted and approximately fifty pending, Yank Technologies eliminates unreliable electrical connections to strengthen durability, increase operational efficiency, and enable new product features. Their industrial solutions enhance robotic autonomy in factories by charging AMRs enroute to reduce downtime and by wirelessly powering and communicating quality control test functions in real-time. They also develop functionally expandable wireless power solutions to enable new product features in next-generation vehicle interiors. These solutions decrease assembly and warranty costs by eliminating complex wire harness connections enabling new features like seamless door removal and complete cockpit reconfiguration. Furthermore, Yank Technologies is reimagining the consumer experiences by charging multiple electronics over the air, in cupholders, and on table-tops. For the 2025 fiscal year, the US House of Representatives allocated $7.8 billion to NASA's Artemis I Program to return humans to the moon. With the increasing demand in Moon exploration, Yank Technologies has the opportunity to expand their wireless power ecosystem for space applications. With this Phase II contract, Yank Technologies will advance their Dust-Tolerant Resonant Connector system for power transmission lines and umbilical products from landers on the Moon and Mars. The Phase II development will optimize the size, weight, and power for kilowatt applications and will be verified with lunar and planetary regolith to be infused into upcoming NASA missions. "With this follow-on NASA Phase II contract, we will prepare Dust-Tolerant Resonant Connectors for a variety of power interfacing solutions for NASA to establish long-lasting habitats on the Moon and Mars," said Josh Yank, CEO of Yank Technologies. To learn more about Yank Technologies or inquire about their wireless power solutions, please visit About Yank TechnologiesYank Technologies, Inc. is a wireless power innovator based in New York committed to developing long-range, high power wireless charging technology that is safe, simple and requires no human contact.
