Wolfbox MegaFlow 200 Pro Air Duster Combines Precise Control with One-Tap Turbo Power

With a 1â100 speed range and airspeed of up to 87.5 m/s (196 mph), the cordless handheld air duster moves easily between electronics cleaning, post-wash car drying, garage cleanup and outdoor use.

DALLAS, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolfbox, a leader in automotive electronics and off-road gear, has launched the new MegaFlow 200 Pro, a compact cordless air duster made for jobs that require anything from a careful stream of air to maximum airflow. Its high-efficiency brushless motor delivers airspeed of up to 87.5 m/s (196 mph), while intuitive, adjustable controls let users dial it back for more delicate work.

From Gentle Dusting to Turbo

Speed settings that can be adjusted in the 1â100 speed range, visible via the built-in smart display, make the MegaFlow 200 Pro a useful tool in many scenarios.

At lower settings, the nifty air duster excels at removing dust from keyboards, PC cases and other electronics. Around the house, it can clean air conditioner filters or move dust behind furniture. And since it is rechargeable, it does away with disposable cans of compressed air.

Turned up, it can clear small debris from equipment and tight corners in a garage or workshop. When a job calls for full power right away, a one-press turbo button takes the air duster directly to maximum airflow.

Quick Vehicle Maintenance and Outdoor Versatility

Anyone who has washed and dried a car by hand knows how long water can continue to seep from behind mirrors, trim and body seams. The MegaFlow 200 Pro can blow that remaining water out before the final wipe-down, without the inconvenience of bringing out a full-size blower.

Outdoors, it can be used to blow away leaves and other light debris. On camping trips, the MegaFlow 200 Pro can assist with fire-starting, and can handle light inflation tasks such as air mattresses and swim rings. The device also includes a built-in LED for steady lighting after dark, with a flashing light mode to attract attention when additional visibility is needed.

Long-Lasting Power

Built with two 3,000 mAh 3.7V cells to form a powerful 3,000 mAh 7.4V battery, the MegaFlow 200 Pro supports up to 200 minutes of use at the lowest speed setting. The removable battery design gives users the option of swapping in a separately purchased backup for longer jobs or trips away from a power outlet. The device also includes smart overheat protection.

Charging is handled through USB-C at 10W and 5V/2A, with a full charge taking approximately 150 minutes.

Four swappable nozzles are included for different types of work. Long, short, blade and wide attachments let users adjust the reach and shape of the airflow, to better handle jobs in confined spaces or across broader areas. The air duster and its attachments fit together neatly in the included carrying bag for storage and travel.

The Wolfbox MegaFlow 200 Pro retails for $139.99 through the Wolfbox official website and Amazon.

Since 2019, Wolfbox has provided more than 2.5 million drivers across 94 countries with reliable dash cam technology and automotive solutions. Winner of awards from SEMA and TWICE, the brand has also expanded its driving ecosystem with the new GEARS line, bringing rugged bed covers, power steps, and high-output lighting to off-road enthusiasts.

Autodesk leads the future of construction with a design-to-operate platform, embedded AI agents, and open partner ecosystem.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced that IDC MarketScape has positioned the company in the Leaders Category of the inaugural IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Construction Management Software 2026 Vendor Assessment (September 2026, IDC #US54135526).

The assessment evaluated Autodesk's construction management capabilities and strategies. According to the IDC MarketScape, "For the purposes of this research, the IDC definition of construction management software for this report is as follows: Software platforms that manage the construction lifecycle, including the following segments: BIM integration, coordination, conditioning/preparation, preconstruction; project management; virtual design and construction (VDC) and project team collaboration."

IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of technology and suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each supplier's position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures supplier product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of supplier strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5 year timeframe. Supplier market share is represented by the size of the icons.

In its profile, IDC MarketScape notes Autodesk's three areas of strength:

- Deep construction industry experience combined with a design-to-operate platform that includes project and geospatial information, as well as a digital twin offering to simplify post-project handoff.

- Embedded AI agents that are targeted for certain tasks (model info, schedule, RFIs, submittals) as well as a general Autodesk Assistant for cross-domain work and model analysis.

- Partnership ecosystem model: Autodesk Platform Services (formerly called Forge) provides a set of applications, APIs, and an open approach for development of new applications. It also has multiple construction communities and partner advisory councils to drive close customer engagement. One large general contractor customer describes its long-time relationship with Autodesk as "mutually beneficial;" other customers express similar sentiments.

In its guidance to buyers, IDC MarketScape says to consider Autodesk when seeking "a single construction management platform across the project life cycle that supports BIM visualization, model coordination, preconstruction, project management, and post-project operational hand-off, as well as an extensive, strong partner ecosystem of providers and a global team that complements the suite of products."

"Construction management software is increasingly being evaluated on its ability to connect workflows, data, and project teams across the construction lifecycle," said Jeffrey Hojlo, research vice president, industrial ecosystems, engineering, & product innovation strategies, IDC. "Autodesk's positioning as a Leader reflects its broad construction management capabilities, investments in embedded AI, and established partner ecosystem. Together, these are important considerations for organizations seeking to improve collaboration and continuity throughout project delivery."

Connecting construction workflows through Autodesk Forma

Autodesk is leading the shift toward more connected, AI-powered project delivery. Autodesk Forma, the industry cloud for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), unites architects, engineers and builders in one connected process instead of a chain of handoffs, using AI to weigh key decisions against desired outcomes, like cost, schedule and sustainability requirements. Forma's open ecosystem includes more than 400 integrations through technology partners and Forma Construction Connect, giving construction teams the flexibility to work with the tools they already use.

The construction management strengths noted by IDC MarketScape are central to that strategy, helping Autodesk build stronger connections across the AEC project lifecycle.

"Construction is entering a new era, where information needs to move with a project and inform decisions from design through delivery," said Lalith Subramanian, vice president, product and engineering, Autodesk Construction Solutions. "I believe IDC MarketScape's recognition is significant because it highlights both the strength of our construction capabilities and our design-to-operate platform. That's the future we're building with Autodesk Forma, bringing design, engineering and construction closer together, with AI embedded in project workflows to help teams move faster, make better decisions earlier, and design and build with greater confidence."

Autodesk is continuing to expand its construction capabilities within Forma. At Autodesk University 2026, the company announced Forma Bid, now in beta, to help contractors compare bids and identify potential gaps in scope; AI-powered insights in Project Home in Forma Build that surface project issues needing attention; and the Daily Log Agent, which turns spoken jobsite updates into structured daily logs.

"Our goal is to equip agents with the technology, support and local leadership they need to serve these communities at the highest level while helping more people achieve their real estate goals along the Gulf Coast."

"Consumers deserve a real estate experience backed by innovation, strong local leadership and a long-term commitment to helping people navigate major financial decisions with confidence," said Jamie Mertz, Principal Broker of VPR | United. "We're bringing powerful technology, practical support and a service mindset designed to improve buying and selling outcomes and create stable careers for agents. We see tremendous long-term opportunity across our coastal communities, and we're excited to invest in this region for years to come."

Xinhua Silk Road: Asia-Pacific headquarters of Danobatgroup gains construction permit in Minhang

BEIJING, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Asia-Pacific headquarters project of Danobatgroup in Shanghai Xinzhuang Industry Park, Minhang District of east China's Shanghai, obtained its construction permit on September 24, one day after the company secured the land plot.

The Spanish machine tool producer chose Minhang as the location of its Asia-Pacific headquarters integrating high-end CNC machine tool R&D, manufacturing and exhibition after more than two years of site selection.

When a Danobatgroup team first came to the park in early 2024, it did not make a decision immediately. But after the park's investment promotion team introduced the industrial map, Danobatgroup's China head spotted many global supply-chain partners, some of whom were old friends from Europe.

Later, executives from Danobatgroup's Spanish headquarters visited Shanghai for field studies, meetings with supply-chain partners and in-depth discussions with municipal and district leaders. After learning about Shanghai's high-end equipment industry planning and Minhang's machine tool development plans, Danobatgroup and eight other entities, including TOPNC, jointly initiated an alliance in January 2025 to foster coordination and innovation in Shanghai's machine tool industry.

In Shanghai, Minhang offers far more than an industrial plot, said Zhong Heming, CEO of Danobatgroup China, adding that Minhang also provides an industrial ecosystem for collaborative innovation.

After evaluating alternatives in other localities, Danobatgroup decided to place its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Shanghai Xinzhuang Industry Park, and the investment agreement was signed in February 2026.

Locating the Asia-Pacific headquarters in Shanghai marks a pivotal step for Danobatgroup's shift from a sales-focused presence to deeper, long-term development in China, Zhong said. Minhang, he added, provides not only an innovative ecosystem full of supply-chain partners but also government teams ready to work with the company to navigate approval processes.

Major New Clients Include Coachella, Stage Coach, Rapha, Swingers - The Home of Revelry, Boots in the Park, Defected, State of Play Hospitality, Bingo Loco and More

NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Experience commerce platform Easol has just announced the raise of a $30 million Series A extension funding round with $20 million equity from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, Foundation Capital, FMZ Ventures, Notion Capital, Eight Roads and a $10 million debt facility with Viola Credit. Easol has now raised $60 million to date.

Easol was launched in 2021 by festival Co-Founders Ben and Lisa Simpson and has quickly scaled to become the go-to experience commerce platform for the leading experience businesses around the globe from festivals, wellness retreats, sports, adventure and location based entertainment venues. With offices in London, New York and Los Angeles, so far in 2026, Easol has powered experiences booked by 2.8 million guests in over 135 countries.

The funding allowed Easol to develop and launch the leading agentic tool, Teammates, for experience businesses globally. Easol's evolution comes as the experience industries continue to see increased consumer demand, while encountering the challenges of tighter margins and rising costs. Despite this, drawing on multiple surveys of tens of thousands of customers worldwide, Live Nation's recent Return To Real survey found that 93% of fans crave real experiences over digital ones, while 80% would rather spend on experiences than on things.

Easol was built to enable experience businesses to bring their technology in-house with full ownership to manage bookings, payments, marketing and support, and guest data through one-connected system. That one-stop solution now enables Easol customers to create their own AI agents, Teammates, that live and work directly inside the Easol platform, and understand the entirety of a business. Easol's solution means Teammates can provide the tailored support, sales and operations expertise required to greatly increase client efficiency.

Many experience businesses operating with small central teams, means missed revenue - but with Easol's Teammates they can now put their revenue on auto pilot. One major business' Teammates Agent found hundreds of guests holding a booking with no upsells booked, around $50,000 of revenue opportunity, and produced the customer list and the outreach to go after it. Another business using Teammates identified $28,000 of recoverable payments in seconds, a job that had previously taken two days.

Eve Szlendak Head of Sales, State of Play Hospitality UK said "I used to spend up to three days building reports to capture every possible scenario. Now, the dashboards give me the information I need instantly."

A differentiator since launching is how Easol gives experience creators full ownership of every aspect of their business, bringing their technology in-house and a commitment to ensuring a business's data stays its own. Unlike many traditional marketplaces, ticketing companies and booking platforms, data has never been sold by Easol. All Teammates Agents run inside the existing Easol platform, behind the same single sign-on, SOCII compliance, audit logs, payments compliance and data residency controls customers already have.

"We built Easol to give experience businesses control over their entire business and bring their technology in-house. AI is now allowing us to do so much more, with rising costs and tighter margins we can now support experience creators in scaling their business growing revenue in ways we couldn't have imagined when we first launched the platform in 2021 said Ben Simpson, Co-Founder and CEO of Easol. "We believe the experience businesses that adopt AI will have a competitive advantage that will be transformative. They'll be able to look after every guest like never before, grow bookings with specialist agents working as an extension of their team using their live data to operate, analyse, provide insights and take action across and keep watch over their whole business, while their teams focus on their customer relationships and delivering world class experiences."

About Easol

Easol is the AI platform for experience businesses. Enabling festivals, wellness retreats, sports and location based entertainment venues to bring their technology in-house, running bookings, payments, marketing, customer support and guest data through one connected system. Now with Teammates, experience businesses on Easol can build their own AI agents that use their live business data to handle support, sales and operations and identify and close missed revenue opportunities. Easol was launched in 2021 by Ben and Lisa Simpson, Co-founders of Rise Festival, who ran experience businesses with 2 million guests a year from the French Alps to the Sahara Desert. When they hit walls trying to scale and ran on too many tools that controlled their data - they built Easol to give experience creators full control of their business. Easol now powers businesses in 135 countries including Coachella, Stagecoach, Boots in the Park, Defected, Snowboxx, Afronation, Swingers - The Home of Revelry, The Cube, Hijingo and more. Easol has raised $60 million to date from investors including Y Combinator, Tiger Global, Viola Credit, Foundation Capital, Eight Roads and Notion Capital and Eight Roads. www.easol.com

NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte has been recognized as a Leader in the ISG Provider Lensâ¢: Workday Ecosystem Services 2026 study across the United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific (APAC). Deloitte was recognized across all four quadrants: Transformation Services, Deployment and Integration Services, Performance and Optimization Services, and Innovation on Workday. This is the fourth time Deloitte has been recognized as a Leader in the US and Europe and the second time in APAC (which was added as a reported region in 2025).

The ISG Provider Lens⢠study evaluates Workday ecosystem service providers and helps enterprises assess provider capabilities, market presence, and delivery strengths. The research covers services supporting Workday-enabled transformation, implementation, optimization, and innovation initiatives. According to the assessment, Deloitte strengthened its positioning across multiple quadrants compared to the previous year's study, with notable progress in Deployment and Integration Services in the US and Performance and Optimization Services in Europe. Across many regions, Innovation on Workday emerged as one of Deloitte's strongest positions in the 2026 study.

The report highlighted how:

"Deloitte focuses on redesigning work, roles and operating models for AI-enabled human-machine teams. Its consultants build outcome-focused roadmaps that address workforce experience, operational efficiency, governance, and adoption before implementation. Deloitte emphasizes aligning technology decisions to measurable business outcomes rather than treating Workday as a standalone system deployment."

"We are honored to be recognized as a Leader across every Workday services category and region assessed by ISG. This recognition reflects the strength of our global collaboration with Workday, the trust our clients place in us, and the dedication of our people around the world.

Recognition underscores Doppel's continued growth and leadership in Social Engineering Defense as AI transforms the threat landscape

SAN FRANCISCO , Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Doppel, the Frontier AI Social Engineering Defense (SED) platform, today announced it has been named to the 2026 - 2027 Fortune Cyber 60 list for the second year in a row. Produced in partnership with Fortune editors, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and AWS, the annual list recognizes 60 of the most important venture-backed startups shaping the future of cybersecurity. Selection is based on financial performance, business operations, growth, and cybersecurity market research.

The recognition comes as AI makes phishing and other social engineering attacks more sophisticated, personalized, and easier to scale across multiple channels, exposing the limitations of legacy cybersecurity defenses. Doppel was founded as an agentic platform built to address this new environment and protect organizations across the entire social engineering attack chain. Powered by agentic AI, the platform unifies Digital Risk Protection, Human Risk Management, and Email Security to detect and connect attacks across channels, disrupt the infrastructure behind attacks, and strengthen employee resilience against evolving tactics.

"Being named to the Fortune Cyber 60 for the second consecutive year is a significant moment for our team and a reflection of the progress we've made as a company," said Kevin Tian, co-founder and CEO of Doppel. "As we've seen in recent weeks, phishing techniques are becoming more sophisticated, and attackers are more capable than ever before. We're at an inflection point in cybersecurity. As an industry, we have a responsibility to equip defenders with the technology and resources they need to stay ahead of these threats. I'm proud of what we've accomplished so far, and we're only getting started."

The recognition adds to a year of continued growth and expansion for Doppel. In 2026, the company expanded its global presence in Japan and Toronto, introduced new capabilities across its Social Engineering Defense platform, including Email Security, and officially surpassed 300 employees. Doppel was also named to Fast Company's 2026 Best Workplaces for Innovators list and won a 2026 SiliconANGLE TechForward Award in the AI-Powered Threat Detection category.

Fortune Cyber 60 Methodology: The Fortune Cyber 60⢠list, developed in partnership with Lightspeed Venture Partners and AWS, recognizes 60 of the most important venture-backed cybersecurity startups that have not yet undergone an IPO, acquisition, or other significant exit. Companies are grouped into three categories of 20âEarly Stage, Early Growth Stage, and Growth Stageâand listed alphabetically within each category. Selection is based on financial performance, growth, business operations, and cybersecurity market research, with the final list reviewed and validated by Fortune.

About Doppel

Doppel is the Frontier AI platform for Social Engineering Defense (SED), protecting people and brands from AI-powered impersonation, phishing, fraud, and deception through three solutions running on the Doppel Superintelligence Layer. Digital Risk Protection (DRP) sees attacks forming, mapping attacker infrastructure across channels and dismantling it before launch. Email Security defends the inbox, judging every message by the infrastructure behind it and taking that infrastructure down so the campaign can't retarget. Human Risk Management (HRM) hardens the people attackers target, turning live threats into simulations and training and measuring risk by user and team. Every signal flows through a shared Threat Graph, so a threat seen anywhere strengthens defenses everywhere, and self-healing agents patch every missed detection. Together, they break the social engineering attack chain, advancing Doppel's mission to protect the world from social engineering attacks every day.
