HANGZHOU, China, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the Chinaplas 2026 international exhibition in Shanghai, DataBeyond, a global leader in intelligent sorting equipment, officially launched China’s first self-developed “AI-Hyperspectral Material-Color Integrated Flake Sorter.” This release has garnered significant attention across the industry. 

The debut of this equipment marks a formal transition for chute-type flake sorters from traditional “3D Material Sorters” and “Multi-channel Material Sorters” into a new era of AI + 256-band Hyperspectral Sorting. 

China’s First AI-Hyperspectral Material-Color Integrated Flake Sorter: FLAKESORT-AI-SPEC

Simultaneous Identification of Color and Material
As China’s first AI-Hyperspectral flake sorter, the FLAKESORT-AI-SPEC integrates AI sensors [AI] with 256-band high-speed line-scan hyperspectral sensors [SPEC]. It can identify hundreds of plastic materials while simultaneously detecting colors. Furthermore, the system can be equipped with fluorescence sensors [FLUO] to remove fluorescent and aged flakes, as well as metal sensors [METAL] to reject metallic impurities. Its detection and sorting capabilities far exceed traditional three-band material machines. 

Simultaneous Sorting of Multiple Plastic Materials
Equipped with a database of dozens of plastic materials, the FLAKESORT-AI-SPEC allows users to switch between sorting tasks freely on a single machine. The device supports both positive sorting (extracting specific materials like ABS, PS, PP, PE, PVC, PC, or PMMA from mixed domestic and engineering plastics) and reverse sorting (purifying PET flakes by rejecting all non-PET materials). 

Customizable Re-sorting Channel Widths
The FLAKESORT-AI-SPEC features an integrated full-plate channel design, breaking the restrictions of fixed channels found in traditional sorters. Users can freely configure re-sorting channels based on material requirements and switch sorting recipes with a single click. 

Flexible Capacity Options
The FLAKESORT-AI-SPEC series offers multiple models with capacities ranging from 3 tons/hour to 9 tons/hour to meet diverse customer needs.

• LG Energy Solution posts KRW 6.6 trillion in consolidated revenue and KRW 207.8 billion in operating loss in Q1 2026
• In Q1, the company secured over 100GWh of new orders for its 46-Series cylindrical EV batteries, with the order backlog exceeding 440GWh as of April
• Its North American ESS battery production network is now in place, with the aim to achieve more than 50GWh production capacity by year-end

SEOUL, South Korea, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Energy Solution (KRX: 373220) today announced its first-quarter earnings for 2026, reporting an increased quarterly revenue mainly driven by stable demand and solid orders for both 46-Series cylindrical EV batteries and ESS batteries.                                                              

The company posted consolidated revenue of KRW 6.6 trillion, a 1.2 percent increase quarter-on-quarter. The revenue includes the North America production incentive, which is estimated at KRW 189.8 billion. The operating deficit stood at KRW 207.8 billion.

In the first quarter, shipment of pouch-type EV batteries declined due to inventory adjustments by a major North American customer. However, stable shipments of cylindrical EV batteries and active response to growing North American ESS demand through capacity expansion resulted in a slight quarter-on-quarter increase in the revenue, with the ESS business now representing mid-20 percent of the total revenue.

At the same time, despite increase in shipments of both cylindrical EV and ESS batteries and ongoing cost-reduction efforts, the company posted a quarterly loss, driven by initial ramp-up costs associated with the expansion of ESS production sites and deterioration of product mix resulting from reduced sales of pouch-type EV batteries in North America.

• Q1 Achievements                                               

In the first quarter, LG Energy Solution fully leveraged its local manufacturing capabilities in North America and the product competitiveness of its 46-Series cylindrical EV batteries to win over 100GWh of new orders for the product, bringing its total order backlog to over 440GWh (as of the end of April 2026). The company started producing 4695 cells at its Ochang facility late last year and will start producing diverse 46-Series cylindrical cells, ranging from 4680 to 46120 cells, at its Arizona facility late this year.

It also secured an additional ESS battery supply contract for grid-scale project in North America. Under the contract, the company will start supplying its next-generation product, which has reduced total cost by 15 percent compared to its current ESS LFP products, in 2028. Through such projects, the company is actively responding to growing customer demand for ESS batteries produced locally in the United States.

In addition, the company has successfully established its ESS battery production network in North America, comprising three standalone facilities (Holland, Lansing, Windsor) and two joint venture facilities (Ultium Cells facility in Tennessee and L-H Battery Company in Ohio). Leveraging this robust production network, the company will secure over 50GWh of ESS battery production capacity in the region by the end of this year.

• Key Initiatives

As electricity consumption rises, driving the need for a more stable power grid amid the possibility of prolonged energy supply instability and high oil prices, the importance of ESS is emerging as a key component of power infrastructure that can offset the limitations of traditional power sources. This environment may also boost consumer demand for EVs, supported by their improving total cost of ownership relative to ICE vehicles, as well as advances in autonomous driving technologies.

Also, the U.S. and Europe continue to require local battery production to qualify for government incentives, which is increasing the customers’ preference for companies that can manufacture locally—enabling them to maximize policy benefits and respond swiftly to logistics risks.

In light of these circumstances, the company will focus on four areas going forward:

1. Strengthening cash flow management

• Improve financial structure through EBITDA growth, divestment of non-core assets, and enhanced asset turnover
• Execute Capex only for essential investments and best allocate strategic resources

2. Maximizing response to customer demand

• ESS: actively secure new projects for power infrastructure and data centers, and promptly stabilize North American production facilities
• EV: proactively respond to EV demand recovery, leverage global production sites to respond to a solid demand for cylindrical EV batteries

3. Stabilizing the supply chain

• Enhance monitoring for all raw materials and advance proactive sourcing strategies
• Minimize logistics costs impacts by securing shipping capacity in advance, etc.

4. Reinforcing product competitiveness

• Advance product specs: system integration (SI)-based software for ESS, fast charging for EVs
• Secure next-generation technologies: dry electrode processing, all-solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries

Learn how AI is being used in farming to eliminate pesticides in the U.S. food supply

SEATTLE, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —

BACKGROUND:
Fresh fruits and vegetables are essential to a healthy diet. However, much of the produce grown in the United States has tested positive for pesticides, even after washing. Farmers use herbicides and pesticides on crops to protect them from weed and insect infestation, but chemicals are now in the food supply. The Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) 2026 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce compiled data from pesticide residue testing conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), covering more than 50,000 samples of 47 types of fruits and vegetables. It found that 96% of the “Dirty Dozen” fruits and vegetables tested positive for pesticides, with spinach topping the list. Others included strawberries, apples and potatoes.

So, what can be done to limit the consumption of these chemicals? AI now offers farmers a way to eliminate herbicides and pesticides entirely.

• Carbon Robotics is revolutionizing agriculture with AI and robotics to reduce costs and increase yields. Amid labor challenges, rising input costs, and increasing concerns about herbicide use, growers worldwide are seeking smarter, more efficient ways to farm. Carbon Robotics addresses these needs by delivering advanced AI robotic laser weeders and tractor autonomy that drives efficiencies to the global community. Leveraging the full-stack of NVIDIA hardware and software, Carbon Robotics’ LaserWeeding technology targets the weed’s growth center with a laser, disrupting cellular growth and preventing regrowth. Each of our LaserWeeder machines has 24 NVIDIA GPUs onboard, allowing it to analyze thousands of plant images per second in real time. We currently use the NVIDIA RTX 4000, with an upgrade to the more powerful RTX Pro 4000 planned for later this year. Our autonomous tractor attachment, the Carbon ATK, uses a different NVIDIA chip called the Jetson Orin — a compact, energy-efficient processor purpose-built for robots and self-driving machines.
• We use two key pieces of NVIDIA software that make our AI run faster. The first, CUDA, lets our software tap into the full power of NVIDIA’s processors — think of it as the engine that lets us crunch enormous amounts of data quickly. The second, cuDNN, is a specialized add-on built on top of CUDA that’s specifically optimized for AI and machine learning tasks, helping our models identify and target weeds with greater speed and accuracy.

The benefits are significant. This technology does not disrupt the soil like mechanical weeding can do. For consumers, this results in healthier fresh vegetables and herbs that are not sprayed with chemical herbicides, for both organic and conventionally farmed produce. For the environment, this eliminates chemical herbicides from the soil and prevents runoff of these chemicals into our rivers and lakes. For farmers, this results in lower costs and higher crop yields, quality and consistency.

In this segment, Carbon Robotics founder and CEO Paul Mikesell explains how AI is revolutionizing the farming industry and keeping our food free of pesticides.
