TPIsoftware Releases AI-Powered Anomaly Detection System ‘gadoScout’

Published

on

By

TAIPEI, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TPIsoftware (TWSE: 7781), Taiwan’s leading software company specializing in digital transformation, has rolled out its latest AI-powered Endpoint Anomaly Detection System gadoScout. The system leverages advanced AI technology to analyze potential threats and automate alerting, effectively reducing IT workload and improving operational efficiency through preemptive protection measures.

gadoScout utilizes machine learning to detect anomalies by identifying patterns, behaviors and events that deviate from expected circumstances in a proactive manner. Unlike rule-based methods, which depend on predefined parameters to flag deviations based on predictive models, gadoScout recognizes threat patterns in real-time with improved accuracy and effective false alert prevention. This enables the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team to conduct early diagnoses and prompt responses to address system issues.

With flexible architecture and continuous learning mechanism, gadoScout is designed to meet enterprise needs for monitoring and alerting across diverse application scenarios. gadoScout enhances system reliability through preemptive anomaly detection, allowing the SRE team to focus on resolving the real problems that could jeopardize corporate operations instead of coping with falsely-flagged issues. This would significantly shorten the time of detection and resolution, minimizing downtime risks and financial losses while enhancing operational security. In addition, gadoScout features a unified platform that provides integrated contextual insights for seamless collaboration on handling intrusion and efficient cross-team communication.

General Manager of TPIsoftware Yilan Yeh said: “Our ability to deliver success for enterprises stems from our extensive experience and a deep understanding of our customers’ needs. Following the rollout of gadoScout and the product launch of GreenSwift (an AI-driven carbon management platform) in Hanoi, Vietnam, TPIsoftware has completed its product portfolios, including iPaaS middle platform DigiFusion, conversational AI series SysTalk.ai, sustainability management platform ESGswift, and enterprise security platform GadoSecurity. This shows our ambition to expand the global presence of Taiwan-made software solutions through strategic partnerships with industry leaders remains unwavering.”

The Level 2 smart EV charger offers intuitive AI-enabled guidance and introduces a complete home EV management system for households with multiple EVs

NOVI, Mich., Jan. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Danlaw, Inc., a global leader in connected car technology and automotive electronics, has announced the CleverCharge Level 2 home EV charging system at CES Unveiled 2025. CleverCharge is an easy-to-use EV charger with advanced features delivered via the patent-pending CleverKey, an OBD-II plug-in device that provides personalized experiences for EV owners.

 

CleverCharge, a CES 2025 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Smart Home category, is a simple yet sophisticated EV charge-management platform built for households with multiple EVs. Offering features unmatched by competing home EV chargers, CleverCharge empowers users to do more than ever before:

The system’s AI assistant learns your daily driving routines and provides proactive reminders that ensure you always have enough battery range for the day ahead.Mobile notifications provide guidance on the best times to charge when energy rates are at their lowest and allow you to schedule charging in the app.The mobile app dashboard displays vehicle battery range in both miles and kilowatt-hours, providing clarity on the vehicle’s range, remaining charging time, and battery health.

“CleverCharge eliminates range anxiety and ensures your EV is ready for the next day’s routine,” said Scott Bolt, Chief Strategy Officer at Danlaw. “We designed it to not only be the easiest home EV charger to install and use, but also the most powerful in terms of its capabilities.”

CleverKey: A Plug-In Device That Provides Deep EV Intelligence

The secret to the powerful CleverCharge system is the CleverKey, a patent-pending device that unlocks vehicle data via the OBD-II port.

CleverCharge uses vehicle data gathered by CleverKey and charging data to power AI-enhanced features such as plug-in reminders, scheduled charging, battery health, estimated charge time, and cost per charge for each EV in the home. 

Once an EV is connected and CleverKey is plugged in, CleverCharge automatically recognizes the make and model of the EV and creates an individual profile for every vehicle. When an EV owner installs multiple CleverCharge units at different locations – such as a summer home or winter lodge – the app will automatically organize each charger and EV based on its location.

CleverCharge Product Specifications:

Available Installation Options: Hardwired & NEMA 14-50Charging Speeds: up to 46 mph for hardwired version, and up to 38 mph for NEMA 14-50Charging Power: 48A hardwired, 40A for NEMAVehicle Connector Types: NACS (SAE J3400) or SAE J1772Vehicle Compatibility: All EV types, including Tesla models with an OBDII connectorDimensions: 12x8x3.1875 (in), 305x203x81 (mm)
