SURAT THANI, Thailand, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LONGi, in partnership with Smart Solar Corporation Co., Ltd. plays an active role in transforming the electricity infrastructure of Thailand’s wood manufacturing and processing industry.

J.U.N. EXPRESS, a manufacturer of rough-sawn rubberwood and furniture parts with over nine years of experience, relies heavily on a fully automated production process. This process involves woodcutters, sanders, conveyors, and other equipment that consume significant amounts of electricity. The demands of uninterrupted production lines and high energy consumption, along with the resulting pollution, are at odds with the principles of green development.

Given the rising electricity cost in Thailand, after thoughtful consideration and EPC recommendation, J.U.N. EXPRESS embraced solar power by installing Hi-MO X6 solar panels. These panels, known for their superior temperature coefficient and low-light performance, ensure efficient and stable power generation in Thailand’s hot and humid climate. This installation significantly offsets electricity costs and guarantees smooth production for the company.

The total power generation has reached 620,193 kWh, saving the factory 619,240 Thai Baht (US$17,200) monthly and accumulating to 2,914,909.17 Thai Baht (US$81,000) over four months. The estimated annual savings are expected to reach approximately US$206,400. In addition, the factory’s monthly CO2 emissions have been reduced by 63 tons, totaling a reduction of 296 tons. By utilizing solar energy, J.U.N. EXPRESS is effectively lowering electricity costs and protecting the environment while ensuring consistent production.

LONGi is committed to advancing solar power technology, helping businesses achieve energy independence and sustainable development through its highly efficient and reliable products.

About LONGi

Founded in 2000, LONGi is committed to being the world’s leading solar technology company, focusing on customer-driven value creation for full scenario energy transformation.

Under its mission of ‘making the best of solar energy to build a green world’, LONGi has dedicated itself to technology innovation and established five business sectors, covering mono silicon wafers cells and modules, commercial & industrial distributed solar solutions, green energy solutions and hydrogen equipment. The company has honed its capabilities to provide green energy and has more recently, also embraced green hydrogen products and solutions to support global zero carbon development. www.longi.com

Leading the Generative Software Era, company announces exclusive early access to its highly-anticipated full software development lifecycle (SDLC) digital worker at the 2024 ONE Conference in Amsterdam

SINGAPORE, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — OutSystems, a global leader transforming how companies innovate through software, today announced Mentor, the industry’s first full software development lifecycle (SDLC) digital worker, enabling app generation, delivery, and monitoring, all powered by low-code and GenAI.

Announced live on-stage at the OutSystems ONE Conference, aimed at showcasing the next generation of app development with the combined power of low-code and GenAI, CEO & Founder Paulo Rosado unveiled how Mentor, formerly known as Project Morpheus, transforms software development and management workflows into a major competitive differentiator. Using AI-driven app generation, optimization, automated quality checks, and agents all under the governance of centralized IT, Mentor boosts developer productivity while ensuring applications meet the highest quality standards—all at a speed previously thought impossible.

 “The Generative Software Cycle is here. In fact, 93% of executives are planning to increase their investment in AI-powered solutions, driving developer productivity and value creation to unprecedented heights,” said Rosado. “But speed can lead to technical debt and security issues if not managed carefully. With OutSystems Mentor, developers can now build full-stack applications in minutes, without sacrificing quality, security, or governance. Mentor ensures apps are built right from the start, changing how software development gets done.”

Mentor introduces a true “shift-left” approach to app creation, enabling developers to start earlier in the process. Beginning with discovery and rapid prototyping, IT teams can validate ideas and refine initial designs before full-scale development. Users simply describe the app they need or their vision, and Mentor generates an initial version with front-end functionality, data models, and embedded business logic. By automating app prototyping and ensuring best-in-class code quality, Mentor redefines the SDLC. It combines the widely popular features of the AI Mentor System with the cutting edge innovations of the OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC). This enables IT teams to:

Generate fully functional, scalable applications with the power of GenAI in a matter of minutes, significantly reducing development time.Iterate and evolve applications effortlessly using AI-powered suggestions, enabling continuous improvement and rapid iteration.Embed AI agents within apps, adding advanced capabilities like natural language understanding to humanize digital interactions – without any coding.Validate and maintain applications through AI-powered code reviews, ensuring all applications meet the highest possible standards for development, security, performance, architecture and long-term maintainability.

Formerly known as Project Morpheus, OutSystems Mentor is a major advancement in OutSystems’ AI strategy, which includes: using generative AI to accelerate iterative application development; applying generative AI throughout the SDLC to improve security, performance, and agility; and building generative AI-powered applications to accelerate transformation. Unlike traditional code with GenAI, Mentor overcomes key challenges such as orphaned code, poor code quality, and lack of transparency and explainability. It ensures teams maintain control, reduce technical debt, and fully harness the potential of AI-driven software development, making it a smarter, more efficient choice for modern, rapid application development.

“The classical SDLC assumes that ideation, analysis, design, and development tasks are and should be performed by separate specialized roles and steps — but AI can and will combine these tasks into a frictionless creative act,” wrote John Bratincevic, Principal Analyst and Diego Lo Giudice, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester¹.[1]

Interested developers and IT leaders can now request an invitation to the Mentor early access program. The GenAI-powered app generator and editor capabilities of Mentor will be generally available in early 2025. To learn more, visit the Mentor home page.
