Dow的新篇章取决于新任CEO Karen Carter能否获得领导空间，以及Jim Fitterling退居幕后的速度

15 4 月, 2026 admin

在今天的 CEO Daily 中：Diane Brady 对 Dow 的继任计划进行了评分。重大领导力新闻：AI 首席执行官正面临人身风险。市场动态：随着投资者关注美伊谈判并消化早期财报结果，市场保持相对稳定。此外：来自的所有新闻和茶水间闲谈。 (SeaPRwire) - 早上好。前 Cisco 董事长兼首席执行官 John Chambers 曾告诉我，CEO 有三项主要任务：制定公司的愿景和战略，聘请高级管理团队来执行任务，以及创造成功接替自己的条件。对此，我要加上第四项：知道何时以及如何退居二线。 Dow 昨日宣布，首席运营官 Karen Carter 将于 7 月 1 日出任首席执行官，Jim Fitterling 将留任执行董事长。我的同事 Ruth Umoh 指出，Carter 是该职位的有力竞争者，曾入选最新的 Next to Lead 榜单。Fitterling 在一篇 LinkedIn 帖子中指出，Carter 的任命“反映了一项深思熟虑的、为期数年的继任流程，该流程与我们的董事会合作制定，旨在在我们继续推进 Dow 战略的同时支持一致的执行。”赞扬 Fitterling 认真对待继任事宜。现在，他应该给 Carter 留出空间去开展工作。在他八年的任期内，Fitterling 将 Dow 从一家大宗化学品公司转型为一家创新的高增长材料科学公司。作为 500 强企业中少数公开的同性恋领导者之一，他也激励了许多不了解该公司的人。但在目睹销售额因行业产能过剩、关税和其他挑战而遭受重创后，他刚刚开始看到股价的显著反弹和技术的推动力。他明确表示，新任 CEO 的上任并不意味着航向的改变。“我们的方向没有改变，”他在帖子中写道，并指出他未来的计划是“专注于长期战略、治理和关键外部关系——支持 Karen 和领导团队以确保连续性和强有力的执行。” 在艰难时期，前任 CEO 留在身边确实令人感到安心。但 Disney 的 Bob Iger 却从惨痛的教训中明白了给继任者一个全新开端的重要性。许多人怀疑 Iger 留任执行董事长是否是导致 Bob Chapek 任期短暂以及 Iger 突然重返 CEO 岗位的因素之一。（在 Disney 最近的一次人事变动中，Iger 仅以高级顾问的身份留在董事会，支持 CEO Josh D’Amaro 直至今年年底。） Carter 将面临与她的老板相同的逆风。正如 Fitterling 上个月告诉能源编辑 Jordan Blum 的那样：“目前的波动性高得离谱。”当她接手一家资本密集型、对能源敏感的全球业务时，该业务正面临周期性低迷、战争、监管以及一项全新的“转型以求超越”计划（旨在通过自动化和 AI 快速削减成本），她可能会欢迎他的指导。话虽如此，Carter 懂运营。她已从事多年。作为 CEO，她现在的工作将是设定 Dow 的愿景和战略，并组建自己的团队来实现这一目标。也许这意味着延续性，或者也许她会根据新现实决定采取不同的方向。希望 Fitterling 知道何时退居二线，给她留出工作的空间。通过 Diane Brady 联系 CEO Daily，邮箱：diane.brady@.com本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Over 70 Gambling Machines in Illegal Den Busted in Daytona

15 4 月, 2026 admin

(AsiaGameHub) - A Daytona Beach man was taken into custody following a police raid on his residence that revealed a significant illegal gambling setup. The search of the property occurred on Friday, April 10, targeting an individual operating an unlawful gambling enterprise. Crackdown on Illegal Gambling in Florida Continues Authorities confiscated approximately 70 gambling machines and close to $20,000 in cash. The operation was based in the 1200 block of North Nova Road, where officials stated over 20 customers tried to flee the illicit establishment. The accused, Willie Cord, initially delayed officers and attempted to block their entry before ultimately permitting the search. He has been released after posting a $3,000 bail bond and faces charges for maintaining a gambling house, in addition to a single comprehensive charge related to the manufacturing, ownership, storage, processing, and sale of slot machines. The Daytona Beach police provided more specifics on the operation, noting that an individual secured the door as police approached. Officers presented the search warrant and informed the person inside that they were legally required to allow the search. More Than 70 Gambling Machines Seized Upon entering, law enforcement immediately observed numerous gambling machines throughout the location. Money was found loaded in some machines, suggesting the customers had fled only moments earlier.The seized items consisted of 68 Fire Link gambling machines and four Fish Table gambling machines.

Ohio’s Gaming Regulatory Body to Impose a $5M Fine on Kalshi

15 4 月, 2026 admin

(AsiaGameHub) - The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) has imposed a fine on Kalshi, a prediction market firm, which is now required to pay $5 million for alleged violations of the state’s gaming regulations as claimed by the regulatory body. Kalshi Encounters Regulatory Opposition in Ohio The enforcement notification was issued on Tuesday, April 14, against KalshiEX LLC. The regulator alleges that the company has been running its operations without the required license and providing “unlicensed sports gaming” services within the state. This sits at the heart of a broader dispute between state gaming regulators and prediction market platforms across the United States. Regulators argue that local gaming laws apply to these services, while platforms including Kalshi and Polymarket maintain that they fall exclusively under the regulatory mandate of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), meaning state-level local rules do not govern their operations. The OCCC has not hesitated to take action, however, asserting that state gaming laws take precedence, and that Kalshi's business activities meet the definition of gaming per state regulations. In an official statement, the commission said: “The Commission takes its regulatory duties to ensure compliance with the law and protect the integrity of sports gaming in Ohio very seriously.” Kalshi has called these recent developments “disappointing,” and the company has distributed an official statement to media outlets: “We are frustrated by this latest turn of events, especially considering our ongoing litigation with Ohio and recent court rulings in other jurisdictions confirming our right to operate as a federally licensed exchange. We are currently reviewing the Gaming Commission’s correspondence.” Kalshi has an estimated 35,000 users based in Ohio alone, and the regulator noted that it had not been able to confirm whether Kalshi “follows the various safeguards and guardrails required under Ohio law.” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost also voiced criticism of Kalshi’s operations in the state, remarking that he would not wager on how much longer Kalshi would remain accessible to local users. Citing a ruling from Nevada, Yost added: “Ohio has formally put Kalshi on notice today that its ‘prediction markets’ constitute unlawful gaming, and we have proposed a $5 million fine. A federal court has already agreed with our interpretation of the law.” Cross-State Legal Disputes From Nevada to Montana Kalshi is highly unlikely to back down from this fight. The company has been engaged in legal battles with states across the country, and recently filed a lawsuit in Montana. The firm has also secured temporary legal wins in New Jersey and Arizona, where it has been allowed to continue operating despite heightened regulatory scrutiny. The Nevada ruling is the only decision that has put Kalshi at a disadvantage so far, but the company shows no signs of conceding. Meanwhile, the CFTC has launched a lawsuit against multiple individual states, their governors, and attorneys general over attempts to regulate Kalshi under local gaming laws.

The IND of OBI-902 was cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) on April 30, 2025, received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the US FDA for cholangiocarcinoma on Nov. 16, 2025, and gastric cancer (GC), including gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC) on December 5, 2025.The Phase 1/2 Study (NCT07124117) is ongoing, with completion of the Phase 1a portion targeted for 1H 2027.OBI-992 is a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that carries a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload with drug-to-antibody ratio of 4 (DAR 4) via a cysteine conjugated, hydrophilic and enzyme-cleavable linker. OBI-992 remains stable in circulation and delivers this cytotoxic payload to TROP2-expressing tumor cells, leading to tumor cell death while avoiding off-target toxicities.The US FDA cleared the IND application for OBI-992 in Jan 2024 and subsequently granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of gastric cancer, including GEJC in Aug 2024. The Phase 1/2 Study (NCT06480240) has reached the putative Recommended Phase 2 Dose (pRP2D) and Phase I completion is targeted for 1H 2027.Since December 2021, OBI has been granted by Biosion, Inc. (www.biosion.com) an exclusive license to a TROP2 targeting antibody amino acid sequence in all jurisdictions except Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. Biosion holds exclusive rights to that antibody sequence in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. OBI holds commercial rights to OBI-992 and OBI-902 in all jurisdictions except Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, while Biosion holds commercial rights to OBI-992 and OBI-902 in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.About OBI-904OBI-904 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a monoclonal antibody specifically targeting Nectin-4 (Nectin cell adhesion molecule 4), linked to a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload with Drug-to-Antibody Ratio of 8 (DAR8) through OBI's proprietary GlycOBI® ADC enabling technologies, powered by a dual-function enzyme, EndoSymeOBI®, and a novel linker, HYPrOBI®. It is a potentially first-in-class and best-in-class glycan-based ADC designed to target multiple cancer types that express Nectin-4. Antitumor activity has been shown across several animal disease models, including HNSCC, CRC, TNBC, cervical and sarcoma cancers; OBI-904 has demonstrated a favorable safety profile in a repeat dose toxicity study in monkeys, and is now in the pre-IND stage of development.About OBI-201OBI-201 is a TROP2 x HER2 bispecific ADC generated by OBI GlycOBI® ADC enabling technologies conjugated with a topoisomerase I inhibitor. Notably, OBI is the first to demonstrate that HER2 and TROP2 can interact and form a protein complex on the cell surface-a groundbreaking discovery facilitated through collaboration with a specialized AI drug discovery partner. OBI-201 offers several advantages over mono-specific TROP2 or HER2 ADCs. By targeting both antigens, it broadens tumor coverage, especially in cancers with heterogeneous or low expression of either target. Dual targeting can enhance tumor selectivity, binding avidity, and internalization, improving payload delivery to cancer cells while potentially reducing toxicity to normal cells. OBI-201 may overcome resistance associated with downregulation of targets after treatment by certain monospecific ADCs.Animal studies revealed that OBI-201 demonstrated significantly superior anti-tumor activity compared to single-target ADCs in drug-resistant breast cancer models with extremely low HER2 expression. OBI-201 was able to sustain tumor growth suppression, indicating its potential to overcome multiple drug-resistance mechanisms. OBI-201 is a next-generation bispecific ADC poised to break through the limitations of single-target ADCs, potentially offering patients a more comprehensive and durable treatment option.About OBI-221OBI-221 is a Bispecific-Dual Payload ADC (BsDpADC), generated by OBI GlycOBI DUO® technologies, targeting cMET and HER3, conjugated with dual payload of MMAE and topoisomerase I inhibitor.In clinical practice, EGFR-targeted therapies have become a key strategy for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. However, tumors often rapidly develop resistance by upregulating cMET and HER3 that, in turn, sustain tumor growth. Moreover, high expressions of cMET and HER3 have been observed in gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, and various other solid tumors, further underscoring the unmet medical needs.To address this challenge, OBI Pharma leverages its proprietary GlycOBI DUO® platform and HYPrOBI® linker to develop a novel bispecific dual-payload antibody-drug conjugate (BsDpADC)-OBI-221. This therapeutic agent simultaneously targets cMET and HER3 while delivering synergistic cytotoxic agents, effectively combating tumor resistance and heterogeneity. This breakthrough design not only addresses an unmet medical need but also represents a forward-looking strategy for next-generation ADC development.OBI-221 holds meaningful potential to overcome resistance to existing EGFR-targeted therapies, potentially offering patients more targeted treatment options while delivering substantial clinical value.About GlycOBI®OBI has developed a unique glycan-based, site-specific ADC technology (GlycOBI®), designed in a Plug and Play format that is compatible with any antibodies, linkers, and payloads, and supports various drug-antibody ratios (DAR)(up to 16). Powered by OBI's proprietary dual-function enzymatic technology EndoSymeOBI® and its hydrophilic linker technology HYPrOBI®, GlycOBI®, a core component of OBI's Obrion™ ADC technology family, enables the generation of site-specific and homogeneous ADCs through an efficient, scalable and streamlined two-step, one-pot conjugation process under GMP conditions.During the conjugation process, GlycOBI® avoids disrupting the antibody structure and ensures that the resulting ADC retains biophysical characteristics comparable to the native antibody. In addition, OBI's linker technology improves payload conjugation efficiency and reduces the propensity for aggregation or degradation, further supporting a stable and well-controlled ADC manufacturing process. GlycOBI® has overcome limitations commonly associated with traditional ADC approaches and has demonstrated improved antitumor activity and stability in various in vivo studies. Notably, the platform supports the conjugation of both cytotoxic small-molecule inhibitors and highly hydrophobic degraders, expanding its applicability to next-generation modalities such as DACs.About GlycOBI DUO®GlycOBI DUO® is a next-generation dual-payload antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology built on the GlycOBI® site-specific conjugation platform and its proprietary enzymatic conjugation strategy. It enables the precise and programmable attachment of two distinct payloads to a single antibody with tunable ratios and supports high DAR ratios, including up to DAR24. By combining complementary mechanisms of action, GlycOBI DUO® is designed to enhance antitumor efficacy, address tumor heterogeneity, and improve the overall therapeutic index, with the potential to overcome resistance mechanisms associated with conventional ADCs-representing a promising advancement in next-generation ADC development.About ThiOBI®OBI has developed a novel irreversible, cysteine conjugation ADC platform (ThiOBI®) with improved stability, which can apply to any antibodies, linkers, and payloads. OBI's proprietary ThiOBI® platform including linker technologies (HYPrOBI®) can generate ADCs in different biomolecular formats, including antibody fragments, nanobodies, peptides, and proteins. Furthermore, OBI's HYPrOBI® linker technology has improved conjugation efficiency of the payload and reduced aggregation propensity and also expanded the half-life of the ADC products. ThiOBI has overcome the limitations of traditional cysteine ADCs and achieved better antitumor activity and stability in various in vivo tests.GlycOBI®, EndoSymeOBI®, ThiOBI®, HYPrOBI®, and GlycOBI DUO® are registered trademarks of OBI. Obrion™ is a trademark under registration.Forward-Looking StatementsStatements included in this press release that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

U.S. Sanctions on Casinos and Individuals Linked to Mexican Drug Cartels

15 4 月, 2026 admin

(AsiaGameHub) - The US Treasury Department announced new sanctions on Tuesday, targeting three individuals and two casinos linked to Mexico's Northeast Cartel, which has been designated as a terrorist organization. Mexican Casinos and Individuals Sanctioned Over Cartel Links The cartel has been a focus of the Trump administration, with the President attributing the opioid crisis in the United States directly to the organization and urging Mexico to take more decisive action against it. The Northeast Cartel is widely considered to be the successor to the Zetas. The Treasury Department has now imposed sanctions on Casino Centenario, which is accused of facilitating money laundering for the cartel. Similarly, sanctions have been issued against Diamante Casino, also accused of conducting these operations for the cartel. Several individuals have also been named in the sanctions list. These individuals include Eduardo Javier Islas Valdez, Juan Pablo Penilla Rodríguez, and Jesus Reymundo Ramos, who has reportedly led a disinformation campaign aimed at improving the cartel’s public image by portraying it as a human rights organization. The US Has Hazarded the Idea of Bombing Cartels on Mexican Soil The sanctions employed by the United States serve as a significant measure to disrupt the business activities of criminal organizations and their members, and also to discourage legitimate businesses and individuals from engaging in any commercial relationships with the sanctioned entities. The Trump administration has adopted a more aggressive stance towards cartels, including threats of military action and warnings of potential strikes on Mexican soil to eliminate cartels. Mexico has voiced its disapproval of these statements, asserting its sovereignty and assuring its neighbor that it is capable of managing its internal security matters independently. In November, Mexico took action against 13 casinos, suspending their operations due to their alleged involvement in money-laundering activities for criminal organizations.

The Q1 Dip Prompts BetMGM to Adjust Betting Market Forecasts

15 4 月, 2026 admin

(AsiaGameHub) - BetMGM has experienced a challenging quarter, which is particularly unwelcome given that Q1 typically features highly anticipated sports betting events such as the Super Bowl, the NBA Playoffs, and March Madness, all of which generate substantial betting handle nationwide. BetMGM Adjusts Forecasts After a More Difficult Than Anticipated Q1 Consequently, BetMGM has lowered its EBITDA guidance to the lower end of its previously stated $300 million – $350 million range. Its revenue projection has also been revised to between $2.9 billion and $3.1 billion, a decrease from the earlier forecast of $3.1 billion to $3.2 billion. A significant factor contributing to this is the substantial increase in customer acquisition costs over recent months, partly driven by the emergence of the prediction market sector. Adam Greenblatt, the company's CEO, has been vocal in his criticism of these platforms. Greenblatt has characterized prediction market platforms as "new sports betting companies." While acknowledging this trend, he also expressed optimism for the company's future, despite the Q1 results indicating a need for a temporary adjustment in the overall business strategy. Greenblatt remains largely positive about what lies ahead. “We are focusing on what we can control. We are not anticipating that irrational spending will continue to become more rational. In the long term, the market will return to us, and that presents an exciting opportunity.” This statement appears to be directed at prediction markets, as Greenblatt maintains confidence that users will eventually return to traditional sports betting platforms. Prediction Markets Largely Responsible for the Temporary Downturn The primary reason for this anticipated return is that sportsbooks offer superior value overall, "unless you are in high school," he asserted. The debate over where the true value lies continues, with local gaming regulators opposing prediction market platforms. However, they face significant opposition from the federal government, which has initiated legal action against certain states. Meanwhile, prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket are engaged in legal battles, either by suing or taking preemptive measures to prevent state enforcement. These platforms have seen some success in states like Arizona and New Jersey, but have encountered resistance in courts in Nevada and other jurisdictions. As the landscape becomes more contentious and legally complex, companies like BetMGM, which are choosing to abstain from this segment, could emerge as significant beneficiaries. They may potentially secure market access in regions such as Texas, which is currently considering the regulation of sports gambling. For instance, DraftKings and FanDuel opted to withdraw from Nevada, prioritizing their involvement in prediction markets. This article is provided by a third-party.

High Roller Enters U.S. Prediction Market Via Crypto.com Deal

15 4 月, 2026 admin

(AsiaGameHub) - High Roller Technologies has made a significant move beyond online casino gaming by forming a partnership with Crypto.com to launch event-driven prediction markets in the United States. This deal marks the company’s entry into a fast-growing sector that combines financial trading with forecasting real-world events. High Roller Expands Beyond Casinos, Eyeing $1 Trillion Prediction Market Potential As part of the agreement, High Roller will distribute event contracts created by Crypto.com’s North American derivatives division—an entity that functions as a regulated exchange and clearinghouse. These contracts enable users to trade based on the outcomes of diverse events spanning industries like finance, sports, and entertainment. This initiative is viewed as a strategic diversification effort. High Roller, renowned for its digital casino platforms, is positioning itself to access a market that analysts predict could exceed $1 trillion in annual trading volume. Industry projections further indicate that prediction markets—already generating billions in yearly revenue—are poised for substantial growth over the next several years. Company leadership stated that preparations to enter this domain have been ongoing for months, encompassing product development and operational planning. Executives consider the deal a critical milestone, granting them a foothold in a sector with robust long-term potential. They also noted that the company’s existing user base and platform capabilities could accelerate adoption once the product goes live. High Roller’s Stock Rises Sharply Following Crypto.com Partnership News From Crypto.com’s perspective, this collaboration extends the reach of its regulated derivatives infrastructure. The firm has been establishing its presence in prediction markets and views partnerships like this as a way to scale distribution while adhering to U.S. regulatory requirements. Management emphasized that merging High Roller’s consumer-focused expertise with its own trading technology could widen access to event-based contracts. As part of the partnership structure, High Roller plans to act as a registered introducing broker in collaboration with Crypto.com‘s licensed futures commission merchant. This arrangement is designed to ensure all offerings remain within the regulatory framework set by U.S. authorities. The announcement immediately impacted investor sentiment. High Roller’s share price spiked following the news, reflecting optimism about the company’s expansion into a high-growth sector. Market observers noted that this reaction underscores growing interest in prediction markets as they transition from niche platforms to more mainstream financial instruments. The companies have not yet confirmed a launch date but indicated they will share additional details regarding branding, product features, and marketing strategies in the coming months.

Kalshi and Montana Face Intensifying Legal Dispute Over Market Regulations

15 4 月, 2026 admin

(AsiaGameHub) - An escalating legal battle between prediction market operator Kalshi and Montana state officials is bringing renewed focus to how these platforms should be regulated across the U.S. Kalshi Seeks Judicial Protection in Dispute with Montana Regulators The firm has filed a federal lawsuit to prevent state authorities from enforcing gambling laws against its operations. Submitted to a Montana district court, the complaint targets senior officials—including Attorney General Austin Knudsen—and requests immediate judicial protection while the dispute is resolved. At the core of the case is the classification of so-called event contracts. These instruments let users trade on the probability of real-world outcomes like election results or economic indicators. Kalshi maintains such products fall under federal derivatives rules and should be overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The company argues this federal framework takes precedence over any state’s attempt to label the activity as gambling. Montana regulators hold the opposite stance. Earlier this month, the state’s Gambling Control Division issued a warning ordering Kalshi to stop its services. Authorities noted that non-compliance could lead to legal consequences, including potential civil or criminal action. Their position is that the contracts resemble wagers and thus fall within state gambling restrictions. Allegations of a Broken Agreement Heighten Tension in Kalshi’s Legal Fight The dispute has grown more complex due to a prior understanding between the two sides. In 2025, Montana agreed to pause enforcement while similar litigation in other jurisdictions unfolded. Kalshi now claims the state has reneged on that commitment by sending a new cease-and-desist notice even as related appeals remain pending. This lawsuit is part of a broader pattern. Kalshi has been involved in several legal battles across the country, including cases in Arizona, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Some courts have leaned toward recognizing federal authority in this area, temporarily blocking state-level enforcement. However, dissenting judicial opinions and regulatory pushback highlight the lack of consensus. Kalshi warns that allowing each state to impose its own rules could fragment the market and disrupt the functioning of regulated exchanges. The company also points to the risk of financial and reputational damage if enforcement proceeds before courts provide clarity. For now, Montana officials have not yet responded in court. The outcome of this case could play a significant role in shaping the future of prediction markets as regulators and lawmakers continue to debate whether these platforms belong in finance or gambling.

KAWASAKI, Japan, Apr 15, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Chugoku Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Co., Inc. today announced the signing of an intellectual property licensing agreement. This agreement, effective April 15, 2026, covers Chugoku Electric Power T&D's intellectual property, which includes its dynamic line rating technology [1] and intellectual property related to advanced power transmission facility maintenance. The partnership aims to support the expansion of renewable energy adoption and enhance power transmission facility maintenance operations through drone utilization.Under this agreement, Fujitsu will leverage Chugoku Electric Power T&D's intellectual property to launch an advanced power grid operation and maintenance support service for power transmission and distribution companies. This service will enable safe and maximum connection and utilization of renewable energy in the power grid.BackgroundAs the adoption of renewable energy continues to expand, power transmission and distribution companies are working to maximize the use of existing power transmission facilities while maintaining stable operation of the power system [2] . The capacity of transmission lines for safe power transmission varies with environmental conditions like temperature and wind speed. Traditionally, to protect transmission facilities, operations have been based on the transmission capacity under the worst-case conditions. However, dynamic line rating technology, which adjusts transmission capacity based on real-time environmental conditions, is now recognized as a key method for effectively utilizing transmission capacity while making the most of existing facilities.Furthermore, there are concerns that conventional human-dependent maintenance operations, such as inspection and patrolling of power transmission facilities, will face operational challenges in the future due to a shrinking workforce. To address these challenges, initiatives are progressing to utilize digital technologies and drones to efficiently and accurately assess the condition of transmission facilities.Fujitsu has developed technology to acquire and analyze vibration data across all spans of transmission lines using optical fiber sensing technology [3] with a single measuring device, as well as a technology platform for data management and AI analysis. To apply these technologies in a practical operational setting for power transmission and distribution companies, Fujitsu and Chugoku Electric Power T&D have conducted verification tests [4] since September 2021, focusing on expanding renewable energy adoption and enhancing power transmission facility maintenance operations.Service OverviewThe service integrates Chugoku Electric Power T&D's intellectual property, including its dynamic line rating technology and expertise in power transmission facility operation and maintenance, cultivated through verification tests and practical operations, with Fujitsu's optical fiber sensing, data analysis, and AI technologies. It acquires vibration data from optical fibers laid along transmission lines and uses environmental data, such as wind conditions around the transmission lines, derived from this vibration data, to calculate the available transmission capacity according to the real-time facility status. Furthermore, by training and inferring with AI using the acquired data, it becomes possible to predict future wind conditions around transmission lines and transmission capacity. These series of data acquisition, conversion, and prediction functions will be provided as the basic functions of this service.In addition, the data obtained from the basic functions can be utilized to support power transmission and distribution companies in addressing various operational challenges. It supports the operational design and system construction for dynamic line rating technology, thereby reducing renewable energy curtailment and promoting efficient power utilization. Furthermore, wind condition data around transmission lines can guide drone flight feasibility and optimal route selection. By assessing facility conditions from vibration data, the service also facilitates labor-saving and advanced maintenance operations, moving beyond traditional on-site and human-dependent methods.Fujitsu will offer this service to power transmission and distribution companies as part of its "AI Technologies and Solutions" offering under Uvance [5] , a business model focused on addressing societal challenges.
