The Community Blood Center (Appleton, WI) to Roll out biolog-id’s Technology to Support Platelet Lifecycle Management
8.11.2021 18:04:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Biolog-id LLC, a developer and service provider of connected healthcare solutions, announces today its partnership with The Community Blood Center, the sole provider of blood, platelets and plasma to nearly 30 hospitals throughout the Midwest. Committed to providing the highest safety and quality blood products, The Community Blood Center will deploy biolog-id’s technology to further improve platelet manufacturing, documentation, and inventory availability.
Due to their short shelf life (5-7 days), these lifesaving blood products require high manufacturing standards and optimized inventory management to maximize availability and minimize waste. Biolog-id’s platelet lifecycle management solution enhances operational excellence by optimizing throughout, streamlining documentation, and improving visibility to current and future inventory. This solution was developed to support multiple platelet manufacturing strategies based on the new FDA guidance.
“We are excited to have The Community Blood Center join the growing family of innovative blood centers who trust our solution,” said Amit Mayer, Chief Innovation Officer at biolog-id. “We are proud to support the challenging and critically important role of these blood centers for their hospitals and their communities.”
“The extremely short shelf life of platelets makes this a precious and critical resource, donated by committed blood donors,” said Kristine Belanger, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President, Operations at The Community Blood Center. “Our obligation is to get these, and all products, to the patients who rely on them in the most effective way possible. The biolog-id technology allows us to improve the efficiency of this process and help us fulfill our obligation to donors and patients.”
A customer-centric innovation focus, and a flexible technological platform, allows biolog-id to adapt its solution to the changing conditions of the healthcare landscape. The ability to easily configure its solution across different facilities, organizations and countries has been key to the expanding customer base in the US and worldwide.

Kinaxis-Sponsored Study Identifies Supply Chain AI Accountability Gap Amidst Rapid Adoption Expectations11.8.2026 15:07:00 EEST | Press release
Kinaxis® (TSX:KXS), a global leader in supply chain orchestration, today announced the findings of new independent research from IDC. The IDC InfoBrief, sponsored by Kinaxis, “Making Supply Chain AI Accountable,” reveals a growing chasm between organizations’ aggressive ambitions for autonomous AI adoption and their readiness to hold these advanced systems - which we believe underscores the need for a disciplined approach to AI investment and deployment to prevent costly failures and deliver measurable business value. What This Means for Supply Chain Leaders The IDC InfoBrief, which surveyed more than 2,000 supply chain leaders across nine global markets, found that while AI adoption is nearly universal - only 2% of respondents report no AI-enabled capabilities, and just 12% consider themselves AI leaders. Over half (52%) cite trust in AI-driven decisions as a top barrier to faster adoption, and just 12% say AI planning governance is fully embedded within their operations. The research
One in Four Executives Say AI Errors Have Reached External Audiences or Boards, According to New Research From Workiva11.8.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Workiva Inc. (NYSE: WK), a leading, audit-ready platform for trust, transparency, and accountability, today released findings from its 2026 Midyear Executive Benchmark Survey. Although 84% of surveyed executives say they are at least somewhat confident in the accuracy of AI output without human review, one in four (26%) say internal audits have detected AI errors that reached external audiences or board members. This data suggests there is a disconnect between what executives believe and what evidence shows. As AI reshapes the enterprise at unprecedented speed, a new risk is emerging: transformation could be outpacing the instincts of the leaders tasked with overseeing it. "Confidence in AI without control over data quality is a liability, not a strategy. CFOs need platforms that connect AI to trusted, auditable data so every output is one they can verify and every disclosure is one they can defend," said Barbara Larson, Chief Financial Officer at Workiva. "Getting this right is about
