Upgraded fleet of smart trailers and new predictive trailer routing capability provide shippers with unmatched visibility and tendering flexibility. Carriers can now book multi-stop loops as a single shipment, and earn up to $19,000 more annually per truck while reducing empty miles.

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Convoy, the nation’s most efficient digital freight network, today announced enhancements to its drop-and-hook service, Convoy Go, that provide customers with more flexible, reliable capacity, superior service levels, and real-time load visibility. As the only digital freight company to offer a nationwide drop-and-hook service, Convoy extends its leadership today through predictive trailer routing, automated reloads with batched routes, and improved telematics in its smart trailers.



The challenge with drop-and-hook service has been the complexity of matching, tracking, and routing decoupled trailers and tractors. Most carriers and brokers address this problem manually, which often results in stale data and inaccurate forecasting that in turn limits their service to dense lanes with predictable shipments. These traditional drop-and-hook services are often unable to quickly scale to meet unexpected demand surges, forcing shippers to rely on the spot market and live loads, which drive up transportation costs and introduce logistical complications.

Convoy’s technology and innovative practices address these pain points and deliver even more flexible, reliable, and efficient drop-and-hook capacity for shippers, with a nearly 100% equipment availability rate, trailers delivered 24 hours before load times, 48% lower dwell times versus live shipments, deep visibility into every load, and reduced carbon emissions. These innovations include:

Predictive Trailer Routing: This enhancement proactively routes empty trailers to customers’ facilities, while simultaneously rebalancing Convoy Go’s trailer pool. To accomplish this, Convoy uses a machine learning model, predicting several weeks in advance how many trailers customers will need across hundreds of facilities nationwide. Convoy combines these forecasts daily with historical shipment data, GPS-based trailer locations, shipment assignments, inspection reports, and driver locations, feeding it all into an optimization model that analyzes billions of trailer route permutations, ultimately picking the most efficient solution.

Automated Reloads with Batched Routes: Since Convoy launched automated reloads, which combine headhauls with backhauls, shippers have benefitted from better service due to lower carrier falloff rates, and carriers have earned more through better asset utilization, all while preventing nearly three million pounds of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere. Now, automated reloads support batched routes for drop-and-hook, which combine three or more runs into a single multi-stop job, providing even greater efficiency for carriers and service quality for shippers. In addition, automated reloads can now combine multiple drop-and-hook and live loads into a single trip, further reducing empty miles and improving asset utilization.

Smarter Trailers, Powered by the Internet of Things: Every Convoy Go trailer is now equipped with advanced telematics, which, combined with Convoy data, provide unmatched visibility into each load. Combinations of ultrasonic, optical laser, and radar sensors deliver real-time information to Convoy’s cloud-based data lake. A machine learning model then analyzes this data to ensure shipments are progressing as planned, automatically flagging issues that require Convoy to course-correct. As a result, Convoy and its customers know if trailers are loaded and ready for pickup, if they’re being hauled by the correct driver, if the shipment needs more time, if the trailer is available for another shipment, if a trailer needs preventative maintenance, and how many new trailers are headed inbound to each facility for loading. This automated workflow enables Convoy Go’s nationwide fleet of thousands of trailers to be remotely monitored and managed by a handful of specialists, who can make any necessary adjustments even minutes before preloading.

“Supply chain teams prefer drop-and-hook for its speed and simplicity, but traditional programs are rigid and don't respond well to market volatility,” said Ziad Ismail, chief product officer at Convoy. “With recent enhancements to Convoy Go, we're addressing the biggest challenges of drop-and-hook freight, providing flexibility to scale up during demand surges and a level of trailer visibility never before possible. This has driven unprecedented customer demand for our drop-and-hook service and contributed to strong business growth over the last year.”

Convoy Go was the first drop-and-hook service to offer loads to tens of thousands of owner-operators and small carriers in 2017, improving capacity, and then expanding nationally in 2019, providing scale. Convoy Go has thousands of digitally-enhanced trailers in its fleet and is the company's fastest-growing offering, with more than 80 shippers and shipment volume increasing 245% year over year.

Convoy Go is available today to shippers who move at least 250 full truckloads per year in the US. Learn more by visiting convoy.com/drop-and-hook.

Patented technology enables industry-transforming, dynamic battery synchronization and control for optimal battery operation and longevity

COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AI--Veritone, Inc. (Nasdaq: VERI), the creator of the world’s first operating system for artificial intelligence, aiWARE™, today announced that it has received three new patents for its battery control technology, bringing the total number of issued patents covering its Veritone Energy Solutions to 13, with another 16 patent applications pending.



The new patented technologies enable dynamic, real-time synchronization and control of batteries to ensure optimal power distribution and battery life, helping to enable a reliable, cost-efficient green energy grid. The technologies empower utilities, independent service providers and battery providers with ground-breaking ways to address the very real Distributed Energy Resource (DER) integration challenges of suboptimal battery operation, overheating and failures that introduce safety concerns and cost companies millions in equipment damage each year.

“As the world transitions to renewable energy, whether it be wind, solar, or hydroelectric, the unpredictable nature of these green energy sources and the resulting energy supply and demand imbalances must be resolved if we are to achieve our green energy goals,” said Chad Steelberg, CEO of Veritone. “While deploying batteries to provide energy storage and smoothing seems like an obvious and simple solution, the technical hurdles to accomplish it at scale in the real-world are challenging. AI-based battery control and synchronization is necessary, now more than ever. Veritone has developed proprietary machine learning algorithms, now protected by several U.S. patents, to meet this pressing need.”

These battery control patents complement Veritone’s patented AI-based energy solutions for predictive real-time control, management and adaptation of smart grids. By applying advanced models, rules and learning to weather forecast, energy demand, pricing, and device data, Veritone Energy Solutions help utilities automatically predict optimal energy supply mix and pricing to meet grid demand, in real-time.

The following new battery control patents have been issued to Veritone:

  • The first patent (U.S. Patent No. 10,601,316) is generally related to techniques for automated, real-time and dynamic control of battery power (charging or discharging) based on its current charge state, to optimize battery operation and increase battery longevity. The patent also includes the ability to synchronize power across multiple batteries across a farm or microgrid to ensure ideal power across the systems.
  • The second patent (U.S. Patent No. 10,666,076) is generally related to techniques for dynamic control of batteries by continuously updating control models based on the battery's current state and behavior, thereby optimizing battery operation and increasing battery longevity. The current state is measured by sensing variations in battery output as a result of input excitation signals sent to the battery.
  • The third patent (U.S. Patent No. 10,816,949) is generally related to techniques for battery control system impedance actuators that optimally control the battery based on its current charge state and thermal state, reducing power dissipation and increasing battery life. The patent also includes the ability to use a mean field game representation to synchronize battery power delivery across multiple control systems present in a battery farm or microgrid.

“Other battery control solutions rely on day-ahead forecasting and steady state battery operation, which are not realistic in today’s distributed, unpredictable clean energy grids,” said Dr. Wolf Kohn, Chief Data Scientist at Veritone. “Our battery control technology, represented in the three new patents we have been granted, is unique in that it is based on real-time AI that predicts energy supply and demand minutes ahead, instead of days, and is based on the dynamic conditions of the battery and the operating environment at any given time.”

“Veritone’s dynamic battery control and synchronization technology helps independent service providers and battery providers optimize battery operation, reduce power dissipation and prolong battery life,” said Adje Mensah whose firm A.F. Mensah, Inc. develops and operates solar and battery storage projects. “With its innovative intelligent battery management technology, Veritone’s ability to leverage massive amounts of historical and real-time data to balance energy supply and demand is unique in the market, and truly transformative when it comes to solar forecasting and optimal dispatch for battery farms and microgrids.”

Veritone Energy’s Solutions include: Forecaster, which accurately detects and predicts energy supply, demand and price; Optimizer, which makes AI-based energy supply determinations; Controller, for predictive device control and active synchronization, combining energy sources to optimally satisfy demand; and Arbitrage, for buying, selling and dispatching energy.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Genset Market Research Report: By Fuel (Diesel, Gas, Gasoline), Power Rating (5 kVA-75 kVA, 76 kVA-375 kVA, 376 kVA-750 kVA, Above 750 kVA), Application (Commercial, Industrial, Residential) - Global Industry Share Analysis and Demand Forecast to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global genset market is expected to attain a value of $27,863.0 in 2030, rising from $17,592.6 million in 2019, progressing at a 5.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2030), as stated by a report by the publisher. The market is being driven by the increasing demand for data centers and low production of power and grid uncertainty in a number of countries. When fuel is taken into consideration, the market is divided into gasoline, gas, and diesel.

Among all these, the diesel division is predicted to account for the major share of the market in 2030, owing to the increased availability of this fuel as compared to other options. Despite the fact that low-power gas gensets cost less than diesel gensets, the poor supply of gas is affecting the adoption of these variants. On the basis of application, the market is categorized into residential, commercial, and industrial, out of which, the commercial category held the largest share of the market in 2019.

The demand for gensets in the commercial sector is growing due to the rising funding for the advancement of public infrastructure, expanding retail sector, swift construction of smart cities, and surging consumer spending. The commercial sector is further classified into hotels, retail establishments, hospitals, commercial offices, and telecom towers. The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the largest share of the genset market during the historical period (2014-2019), because of the rapid growth of the manufacturing sector.

The manufacturing sector is growing in the region because of government initiatives, including Making Indonesia 4.0, Make in India, and Made in China 2025. In addition to this, heavy investments are being offered for developing the telecommunications infrastructure and the requirement for backup power is rising from residential units. Because of its moderately developed power infrastructure, the region primarily used generators for auxiliary powers. The fastest growth is expected to be registered by the Middle East and African region during the forecast period.

A major factor driving the growth of the genset market is the increasing number of data centers across the globe. As a large amount of data is being created and consumed, the demand for supporting infrastructure for collation, assessment, and analysis is rising as well. The consumption and creation of data is further expected to grow because of the rising adoption of autonomous cars, IoT, and digital currencies. This will create demand for continuous power at data centers, thereby leading to the growth of the market.

The increasing requirement for gensets in the construction sector is expected to open up wide opportunities for the companies operating in the genset market. Because of swift industrialization in emerging economies and strong economic growth, the number of construction activities has increased majorly. Moreover, the recovery in oil prices, integration of technology in business practices, and lowering of geopolitical uncertainties are also expected to drive the growth of the market in the years to come.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases a new ESG Talks episode on clean energy and its impact on the markets. In this episode, Cecil Smart, Managing Director in KBRA’s ABS Commercial team, interviews Alfred Griffin, President of NY Green Bank. Griffin provides an overview of how NY Green Bank works with the private sector to promote clean energy across the state.


“We are very fortunate to be operating in [New York], a state with very strong policies related to clean energy and the deployment of clean energy,” Griffin said. “Solar is certainly an area that we have seen a lot of activity, therefore, giving us financing opportunity. A big share of investment to date has been in solar.”

NY Green Bank’s investments and activities support Governor Andrew Cuomo’s nation-leading goals to combat climate change, as outlined in the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which includes a mandate that 70% of the state’s electricity come from renewable sources by 2030.

“We have three basic investment criteria that we’re expected to meet with every transaction. One is that we be self-sustaining, that the revenues we earn will be in excess of portfolio losses and operating expenses,” Griffin said. “The second criteria is that everything we do is expected to result in financing market transformation. [That’s] the concept of finding those opportunities that we can help scale, help create a precedent, do the heavy lifting to get things off the ground, and ultimately have the private market crowd in …. The third is that everything we do is expected to result in the reduction of greenhouse gases in the state of New York,” he added.

The full episode can be streamed here.

  • New project represents innovative, sustainable production to meet growing demand for insect protein in animal feed, a market that has potential to reach 1 million tons in 2027
  • Construction of high-capacity facility to support hundreds of jobs in Decatur area, targeted to begin in 2021, pending permits and approvals

CHICAGO & PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ADM (NYSE:ADM), one of the world’s leading human and animal nutrition providers, and InnovaFeed, the world leader in producing premium insect ingredients for animal feed, today announced plans to collaborate on the construction and operation of the world’s largest insect protein production site, in Decatur, Illinois. The facility will be owned and operated by InnovaFeed and will co-locate with ADM’s Decatur corn processing complex, with ADM supplying feedstocks, waste heat and more. Together, these investments will bolster economic growth and job creation in Decatur and central Illinois while continuing to strengthen the state’s position as a center of innovative, sustainable agriculture.


“We are very pleased to launch this ambitious project, working alongside ADM and Illinois state partners as InnovaFeed expands to provide sustainable solutions to meet the fast growing demand for insect feed in the US and worldwide,” said Clement Ray, CEO and co-founder of InnovaFeed. “Around the world, InnovaFeed is contributing to the emergence of sustainable food systems by developing a pioneering and sustainable industry. Our new operations in Illinois, a global leader and destination for agriculture, will allow us to take the next steps to innovate and grow our business.”

“At a time when the demand for animal feed protein is steadily increasing, insect farming stands out as a true solution for the future,” said Chris Cuddy, ADM senior vice president and president of the company’s Carbohydrate Solutions business. “We’re excited to work with InnovaFeed on this ambitious project, which further expands our participation in the growing market for animal food and feed that comes from responsible, sustainable sources. It’s a great demonstration of how ADM is expanding its value chain by offering opportunities for collaboration to leading, innovative startups. It’s yet another example of how we’re constantly identifying new ways to create value from corn, oilseeds and more. And of course, we’re extremely proud that we can help bring this new, job-creating project to Decatur, the home of our North American headquarters.”

Insect feed has become an increasingly popular protein ingredient for the agriculture and aquaculture industries, as demand for animal feed has now reached an all-time high and consumers look for food that is sustainably and responsibly grown. InnovaFeed already operates two insect production facilities in France, including what is today the world’s largest. The Decatur facility represents InnovaFeed’s first international project.

“InnovaFeed’s decision to bring their first ever international facility and state-of-the-art agriculture technology to Illinois is a vote of confidence for our state, and a win for our farming communities,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “Illinois has always been a global leader in agriculture and technology, and we offer the resources to support this major international expansion – with an educated workforce, proximity to global businesses like ADM, and access to shipping and logistics. The investments InnovaFeed is making in Decatur will not only support our thriving agriculture industry – a cornerstone of our economy – but will unlock new well-paying jobs for our communities.”

Construction of the new high-capacity facility is expected to create more than 280 direct and 400 indirect jobs in the Decatur region by the second phase. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and the Illinois workNet Center will partner with InnovaFeed to develop recruiting strategies as well as on-the-job training programs. DCEO also partnered with InnovaFeed through an EDGE agreement to support this large-scale capital investment. Locally, InnovaFeed will benefit from the Decatur-Macon County Enterprise Zone and customized incentive opportunities from the City of Decatur and Economic Development Corporation of Decatur-Macon County.

Construction is targeted to begin in 2021, pending necessary permitting and approvals. Construction and production will come in two phases. When both are complete, the plant would have a target annual production capacity of 60,000 metric tons of animal feed protein derived from Hermetia Illucens, a type of fly with exceptional nutritional qualities; the plant will also have the capability to produce 20,000 metric tons every year of oils for poultry and swine rations, and 400,000 metric tons of fertilizer.

“Illinois remains open for business, and companies continue to choose Illinois for growth based on our industry strengths, talent, education and access to infrastructure,” said Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity Director Erin Guthrie. “With agriculture a leading industry and employer for communities across our state, these investments by InnovaFeed to bring their one-of-a-kind technology will support our farmers and those who rely upon farms. We look forward to partnering with the company on ensuring our local residents have access to jobs and economic opportunity created by this exciting new project in Decatur.”

"The city of Decatur is pleased to partner with InnovaFeed to bring this unique and innovative facility to our community,” said Decatur Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe. “Not only will this project fuel both direct and indirect job creation, but it affirms that our best prospects for creating new jobs are in the agri-business sector, in partnership with our existing businesses, in a city that is an ideal place for groundbreaking advanced manufacturing. ADM, the State of Illinois, the Economic Development Corporation of Decatur-Macon County, and the City of Decatur worked together to bring this plant to Decatur. Our concierge approach results in joint incentive opportunities to support InnovaFeed’s infrastructure and operational needs."

The plant will be built using an innovative model of industrial collaboration that InnovaFeed has already demonstrated in other facilities enabling the French Biotech company to produce the insect protein with the lowest carbon footprint on the market. The plant will be co-located with ADM’s Decatur corn complex, with complementary infrastructure that will allow ADM to directly provide corn by-products to supply InnovaFeed’s innovative insect rearing process, as well as waste heat and steam. This collaborative operational model will enable the InnovaFeed facility to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent versus standalone production.

Memo of understanding extends companies’ relationship, focusing on transformational green energy


OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the world accelerates to greener and decarbonized energy solutions, Black & Veatch and Golar LNG announce the expansion of their long-standing collaboration, focusing on broadening floating production of blue and green hydrogen and ammonia.

The memo of understanding between Golar, an operator of carriers for natural gas shipping, and global floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) solutions leader Black & Veatch reflects the growing sway of hydrogen and ammonia in a sustainable energy economy.

Golar’s deep experience in delivering and operating paradigm-shifting, low-cost floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure complements Black & Veatch’s status as a leading provider of LNG technology, an industry force in advancing decarbonization and an expert in green energy technologies.

“This collaboration builds on years of delivering commercial and technology innovation with Golar, a visionary in monetizing natural gas reserves,” said Hoe Wai Cheong, president of Black & Veatch’s oil and gas business. “Given hydrogen and ammonia’s use in many energy-intensive industries we can make meaningful progress in lowering the carbon footprint and help these industries meet new sustainability commitments.”

“As a company with an established history of championing and delivering disruptive solutions to problems in its industry, and a serious and continuous commitment to its ESG agenda, Golar looks forward to working with a like-minded and equally capable partner in the field of floating hydrogen and ammonia production, carbon capture, and other decarbonization initiatives,” said Golar CEO Iain Ross.

As the role of hydrogen in the green energy economy continues to expand, Black & Veatch also sees a growing case for ammonia – more energy dense than pure hydrogen, incredibly stable and easily liquified for storage and shipment around the globe in the same fashion as LNG. Ammonia then can be used in multiple energy-intensive industries to produce low-carbon electricity.

The company’s concentrated solar technology for decarbonizing industrial processes is recognized as one of the year’s top innovations in the Sustainability category

PASADENA, Calif. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#BillGross--Heliogen, the clean energy company that is transforming sunlight to create and replace fuels, today announced the inclusion of its HelioHeat technology in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2020 list. Heliogen’s high-temperature solar technology – for the first time in history – can cost-effectively replace fossil fuels with sunlight in a range of industrial processes. HelioHeat, Heliogen’s carbon-free, ultra-high temperature process heat product, was recognized in the Sustainability category for its ability to decarbonize the production of cement, 24/7 electricity, and hydrogen.



Heliogen has developed a concentrated solar solution utilizing unique advanced computer vision software to precisely align an array of mirrors, reflecting sunlight to a single target with unprecedented accuracy. Exactly one year ago, Heliogen announced that it had applied its technology at its Lancaster, California facility to achieve a record-breaking 1,000 degrees Celsius. This advancement enables Heliogen to generate carbon-free, ultra-high temperature heat (HelioHeat) that replaces the need for fossil fuel-generated heat in facilities for cement, mining, and other industrial processes. Although nearly all renewable energy innovation to date has only applied to electricity generation, the majority of the industrial sector’s energy use is for process heat, which often requires extremely high temperatures that solar photovoltaics and wind, for example, simply cannot achieve cost-effectively. With Heliogen’s technology, concentrated solar can commercially achieve those temperatures for the first time.

Bill Gates, an early investor in Heliogen, regards the “75% problem” as one of the world’s most pressing challenges, referring to greenhouse gas emissions created by the 75 percent of global energy consumed for non-electricity uses. Heliogen tackles this challenge head-on, opening many of the leading sources of global emissions to the use of renewable energy for the first time, creating new opportunities for decarbonization.

“Given our mission to empower a sustainable civilization by arresting and reversing climate change, we’re honored for Heliogen’s technology to be recognized by TIME as one of the year’s most significant advances in sustainability,” said Bill Gross, CEO and founder, Heliogen. “Decarbonizing the processes that run our world is a pivotal part of our future, and at Heliogen we are inventing and deploying the technologies required to produce 24/7, low-carbon energy. Our ability to do this with unprecedented economics will accelerate the adoption of renewables across industries around the world.”

To assemble the 2020 TIME Best Inventions list, TIME solicited nominations across a variety of categories from editors and correspondents around the world, as well as through an online application process. Each contender was then evaluated on key factors, including originality, effectiveness, ambition and influence. The result: 100 groundbreaking inventions that are changing the way we live, work, play and think about what’s possible.
