Supply chain software and forecasts lead the week in industry
Supply chain software and logistics forecasts led the week, alongside defense materials work, battery development and security credentials for autonomy.
Logistics and supply chain technology accounted for the largest share of this week's releases. Oracle announced Fusion Claw-powered agentic applications for supply chain teams at Oracle AI World, while MarketsandMarkets published two forecasts: it says the transportation management system market will grow from USD 21.42 billion in 2026 to USD 47.55 billion by 2032, and the warehouse management system market will reach USD 14.48 billion by 2032. Cyngn, which builds autonomous vehicles, said it completed a SOC 2 Type II examination to support enterprise-scale deployments.
Materials and energy storage made up the rest of the week. Graphite One received a Defense Logistics Agency program to evaluate carbon materials from its Graphite Creek deposit for defense thermal management. eJoule partnered with ITRI on long-life NCM batteries for drones, electric vehicles and energy storage. Kastar is taking its MS polymer sealants to The Big 5 Global 2026 in Dubai, and Ernesta opened an Atlanta rug showroom.
