BRISBANE, May 21 – Struddys Apparel, a manufacturer specialising in custom teamwear, sportswear and branded garments, has become the first site and company globally to purchase and install the new Epson SureColor F20060 dye sublimation platform, strengthening its position as one of Australia’s leading vertically integrated apparel producers. 

The investment represents the latest step in Struddys’ growth from a small custom operation into a large-scale, Australian-made production facility with a strong focus on quality, speed and full in-house control. It also highlights how strategic technology adoption is helping local manufacturers scale output while maintaining the flexibility needed for custom and short-run work.

Struddys has been a strong example of organic growth through dye sublimation. The business began with a single 64-inch printer (delivering approximately 20 sqm/hr) and expanded to three units as customer demand increased. As production volumes grew, however, the company reached the practical limits of adding smaller-format devices.

At that point, Struddys made a deliberate move to higher-volume production capability rather than continuing to scale incrementally. The company adopted a 76-inch Epson SureColor F10060, a production platform capable of up to 255 sqm/hr and specifically 100 sqm/hr in apparel production, enabling a major increase in throughput and operational efficiency.

That shift gave Struddys a more effective production model: high-volume work could be concentrated on the larger-format platform, while its 64-inch printers remained ideal for short runs, custom programs and bespoke jobs.

As demand has continued to grow, Struddys has now added a second 76-inch platform with the purchase of the new SureColor F20060.

The new installation makes Struddys the first global site to adopt the Epson SureColor F20060 and positions the company at the forefront of dye-sublimation production capability.

The additional capacity will support faster turnaround times, greater production resilience and further growth as the business expands across teamwear, sportswear and branded apparel markets.

The Epson SureColor F20060 is a dye-sublimation printer designed for textile manufacturers and print service providers requiring fast turnaround times. Built for demanding production environments, it combines consistent output quality, reliable operation and printing speeds of up to 300 sqm/h. It is suited to industrial-scale production including fashion apparel, sportswear, home furnishings and soft signage.

For Struddys, the addition of the F20060 is about more than just speed alone. It supports a production strategy that combines scale with agility allowing the business to meet larger volume orders efficiently while preserving the responsiveness needed for custom, bespoke and short-run apparel work.

This balance is increasingly important for manufacturers serving customers who expect both rapid delivery and tailored product offerings.

By bringing the F20060 into its operation, Struddys is reinforcing a model built on local manufacturing, controlled workflows and production flexibility. With Epson technology underpinning both its high-volume and specialty output, the company is well placed to continue growing without compromising the quality and service standards that have driven its success.

Struddys’ journey from a single-printer operation to a scaled production business illustrates how investment in the right technology at the right time can transform manufacturing capability. Its latest move, becoming the first global site to install the Epson SureColor F20060, signals not only confidence in future demand, but a clear commitment to staying ahead of the curve in Australian apparel production.

New predictive remediation capability helps security teams prevent exploitable risk before it reaches production

Redmond, WA, May 21, 2026 — Averlon today announced Precog, a predictive remediation capability that identifies exploitable risk in proposed code and infrastructure changes and delivers the fix to developers before the change reaches production. Precog addresses a widening gap: AI is accelerating both code delivery and vulnerability discovery, and security teams can no longer manage risk only after it lands in production. 

The need for this shift is becoming urgent. Google Cloud’s Mandiant M-Trends 2026 report found that mean time to exploit collapsed from 63 days in 2018 to an estimated minus seven days in 2025, meaning exploitation now often begins before a patch is available. New frontier models such as Claude Mythos and GPT-5.5-Cyber are making it increasingly clear that AI will compress the time required to discover, validate, and exploit vulnerabilities. The result is a widening gap between the speed at which risk is discovered and exploited, and the speed at which security teams can triage and fix it.

The industry is converging on a new operating model: Remediation Operations, or RemOps. The premise is simple: finding risk and closing risk are different problems. Security teams do not need more alerts; they need a way to understand what is truly exploitable, prioritize by business impact, and drive safe fixes through developer workflows. 

Averlon’s Remediation Operations platform addresses the full lifecycle of risk reduction: ingesting security findings, determining what is truly exploitable, prioritizing by business impact, and driving agentic remediation through developer workflows. The platform has helped customers reduce remediation time by up to 90 percent and alert noise by up to 95 percent, helping security teams move from backlogs of thousands of findings to the handful that need fixing. 

With Precog, Averlon extends that model earlier in the lifecycle by preventing exploitable risk before it becomes production exposure. Unlike security scanners that flag findings based on generic severity scores, Precog evaluates whether a proposed change would actually be exploitable in the customer’s real environment, accounting for internet reachability, exposed services, and existing compensating controls. This contextual analysis means Precog surfaces the changes that genuinely create exposure, not the long tail of theoretically risky findings that wouldn’t be exploitable in production. Precog integrates into CI systems such as GitHub, evaluating proposed changes before they reach production. 

When risky changes are detected, Precog identifies the issue, explains the exploitable path, and generates a remediation directly in the developer workflow. Developers receive the proposed fix at the same time they are notified of the risk, reducing friction between security review and software delivery. 

“AI is changing both sides of the software lifecycle. It is accelerating development while also introducing code that is often not ready for production. With AI also accelerating the discovery and exploitation of weaknesses in that software, security teams can no longer rely only on post-production detection and backlog management. Capabilities like Averlon’s Precog point to where the market is headed: identifying risky changes earlier and helping developers fix them before they become production exposure.” 

Chris Steffen, VP Research, Enterprise Management Associates

Complementing Precog is Vulnerability Intelligence, Averlon’s CVE research feed at research.averlon.ai, which gives teams the context they need to triage emerging vulnerabilities, including exploitability, attacker requirements, required privileges, user interaction, and evidence of exploitation in the wild. 

“Security teams have relied on finding and fixing vulnerabilities after they reach production. AI has made that untenable from both directions: it is generating new vulnerabilities faster than teams can triage them, and it is collapsing the window between exposure and exploitation. You cannot remediate your way out of that. The only way to stay ahead is to prevent exploitable risk from reaching production in the first place. That is what Precog does.”

After two profitable bootstrapped years, the Zurich-based industrial AI company will accelerate deployment of its end-to-end thermal monitoring platform across sawmills, recycling, mining, chemical processing, oil and gas, and maritime operations – categories where fire and downtime risk are increasingly outpacing what insurers are willing to cover.

Zurich, Switzerland — May 20 ; Industrial operators across Europe and North America are facing a problem they can’t inspect their way out of. Fine dust, friction, electrical faults, and aging equipment are pushing fire and downtime risk into territory that insurers will no longer underwrite at viable premiums. Sites that were insurable five years ago are being deemed too risky today. Against that backdrop, AVIAN – the Zurich-based industrial AI company building 24/7 thermal monitoring for the world’s most fire-prone facilities –  today announced it has raised a $2.6M pre-seed round, led by Founderful. 

AVIAN was profitable and entirely bootstrapped for two years before raising. The company says it raised this round to go faster, expand engineering and deployment capacity, and scale beyond its stronghold in wood products into recycling, chemical processing, oil and gas, and maritime. AVIAN is on track to surpass $1M in ARR in 2026.

How AVIAN works 

Insurance markets are tightening, and more sites are being treated as high risk as equipment ages and failure rates climb. The old approach to thermal safety still looks like periodic thermography, a technician walking the floor with a handheld camera once a quarter. That method misses the window that matters: the hours when a component starts running hot before it fails. Most thermal vendors also stop at the hardware, selling a camera and leaving operators to figure out setup, monitoring, and escalation on their own. AVIAN takes a different approach: the sensor is one component of solving the problem, not the product. Customers are typically up and running in minutes, not months.

AVIAN is built to run like an always-on reliability layer. Its thermal cameras continuously watch the critical components that most often become ignition points, motors, bearings, conveyors, presses, and electrical cabinets, and learn what “normal” looks like in that specific plant. From there, the system focuses on drift, the early heat patterns that show up before failure. Smart alarms filter out routine heat sources so teams aren’t chasing noise, and alerts go to the right people with enough lead time to intervene before a hot component turns into downtime or fire.

AVIAN also generates automated predictive maintenance reports and backs the platform with 24/7 human support. Every alarm event is reviewed and fed back into the models, so detection keeps improving across the fleet and each new site benefits from what AVIAN has already learned in the field.

Customer results

Over the last two years, AVIAN has prevented $50M+ in damages from fires and equipment failures and is deployed in approximately 50 sites across 9 countries.

The impact is clear. Kamps Pallet reduced annual insurance costs by 10% at its Dillwyn sawmill after deploying AVIAN’s system. Sierra Pacific Industries has avoided 24+ hours of unplanned downtime at its Quincy site in the last 12 months alone. Schilliger Holz has used AVIAN to avoid fires and run tighter against unscheduled stops.

In several cases, the system has caught incidents at the point where they still looked small. A pellet press fire was detected early for a customer in Switzerland, avoiding millions in damage. In Germany, AVIAN flagged a small electrical fire next to a machine worth millions. Containing it early protected both the asset and the next 6 to 18 months of production that could have been lost waiting for a replacement.

“AVIAN has developed a solution to a problem which probably affects everyone in the industry directly. For us, it is a great partnership as it helps us make our operations much safer and improves the monitoring process. You will never be able to reduce the risk of fires to zero, but you can do everything you can to minimize the danger as much as possible – and AVIAN makes that possible in a simple and straightforward way,” said Ernest Schilliger, CEO Schilliger Holz. 

The team

AVIAN is a 10-person team based in Zurich. The company was founded after one of Switzerland’s largest sawmills saw Hanover’s robotics and AI research in the Swiss media and reached out about escalating fires, downtime, and rising insurance pressure.

“Most operators don’t need another camera. At 3 a.m., they need to know that a bearing is running hot before it ignites the dust around it,” said Drew Hanover, Co-Founder and CTO of AVIAN. “We bootstrapped the business for two years because we wanted to build something operators actually trusted. We raised with Founderful for one reason: to keep doing that, in more markets, faster, without changing what we are. We spent zero minutes on a deck.”

Alex Stöckl, Partner at Founderful added: “Within a year of incorporation, the team at AVIAN already served dozens of manufacturing businesses in the US and Europe, preventing real fire incidents on a daily basis. With their thermal-vision technology, there’s an immediate ROI and a new industrial intelligence layer that unlocks further use cases and value for customers over time – backing them to accelerate their go-to-market and product roadmap was a no-brainer.”

What’s next

AVIAN’s roadmap splits into two tracks. First, the company has spent years building relationships with insurers to understand how risk is assessed, and its growing camera fleet is positioned to produce something underwriters increasingly demand: real-time, site-level risk assessments backed by live thermal telemetry. Second, AVIAN Vision extends the platform beyond thermal by upgrading existing CCTV systems to detect smoke and fire, giving customers a way to broaden 24/7 protection across an entire facility without replacing the infrastructure they already operate.

AVIAN’s long-term thesis is straightforward. Industrial risk has been priced for decades using actuarial tables and historical claims data. The next decade will be priced using quantifiable, real-time operational data, and AVIAN believes sites that have become difficult to insure can become insurable again through data, discipline, and proactive systems.

With up to 65W socket-type CPU support, quad-LAN, and eight-lane PCIe Gen 4 expansion, AAEON’s EPIC-BTS9 is positioned as a foundation for smart manufacturing and industrial robotics.

(Taipei, Taiwan – May 20, 2026) AAEON (Stock Code: 6579), a leader in industrial PC solutions, has released the EPIC-BTS9, the latest addition to its 4″ EPIC Board portfolio, making it the company’s first single-board to support up to 65W socket-type CPUs from the new Intel Core Series 2 socket-type processors (formerly Bartlett Lake).

While primarily developed for use with Intel Core Series 2 processor CPUs, which grant up to 24 cores and 32 threads of processing performance, the EPIC-BTS9 is also pin-to-pin compatible with 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core processors, up to 65W.

In addition to its cross-generation CPU compatibility, the EPIC-BTS9 is available in SKUs equipped with a choice Intel R680E, Q670E, or H610E chipsets, with the board’s Intel R680E Chipset SKU offering ECC (Error-Correcting Code) support to the 64GB of dual-channel DDR5 system memory on offer via two SODIMM slots.

The EPIC-BTS9’s I/O comes with a total of four LAN ports, three running at 2.5GbE with hardware timestamping, and one at 1GbE speed. These are joined by two USB Type-A ports offering USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 signals, respectively. Rounding off its physical I/O is a HDMI 2.0 port.

For internal connectors, AAEON’s positioning of the board for industrial AI and smart manufacturing makes sense, with dual COM connectors for RS-232/422/485, an 8-bit GPIO, and SMBus. I2C is also available when running Windows, rather than Ubuntu, and can be changed by BOM. The board also offers headers for both VGA and eDP 1.4, the reasoning for which being to allow simplified integration with existing industrial display panel setups.

The EPIC-BTS9 offers versatile expansion options, with the main standout being an eight-lane PCIe Gen 4 slot, which can be used for AI accelerators, graphic capture cards, or additional storage needs. Meanwhile, the board hosts M.2 2280 M-Key, M.2 3052 B-Key, and M.2 2230 E-Key slot for additional storage and wireless communication module installation.
