AUPU's ARCHIDEX 2025 Triumph: Redefining Home Comfort in SE Asia
AUPU's ARCHIDEX 2025 Triumph: Redefining Home Comfort in SE Asia
The brand's success hinges on three key pillars: functionality, wellness, and localization. Take the Beauty Fan & Heater: beyond heating and ventilation, its integration of infrared therapy taps into rising consumer demand for 'wellness-at-home' solutions, blending utility with self-care—a trend resonating strongly across urban Southeast Asia.
In humid markets like Malaysia, the Cloth Dryer addressed a critical gap. Its ceiling-mounted design, UV sterilization, and rapid drying capabilities directly solve moisture-related challenges, aligning with local needs for space efficiency and hygiene. Attendees—from architects to homeowners—praised its ability to merge practicality with regional relevance, a hallmark of AUPU's market positioning.
The Central Kitchen Air Conditioner further demonstrated this approach. Traditional ACs struggle in kitchens due to grease and heat, but AUPU's specialized design—with targeted airflow and durable components—reimagines cooking spaces as comfortable, usable areas. This innovation reflects a deep understanding of how families live: kitchens aren't just for cooking; they're social hubs.
Technologically, AUPU's edge lies in seamless integration. AI-powered temperature regulation, motion-sensing ventilation, and smart energy management aren't add-ons—they're core to the user experience. These features don't just boost performance; they reduce operational hassle, a key differentiator in a crowded market.
Looking ahead, AUPU's upcoming Kuala Lumpur flagship store (S-01-05, D'Rapport Ampang) signals more than expansion—it's a commitment to accessibility. By moving from exhibition halls to a physical retail hub, the brand bridges the gap between innovation and adoption, making premium comfort tech tangible for Malaysian households.
In short, ARCHIDEX 2025 wasn't just a win for AUPU—it was proof that home comfort, when rooted in local needs and smart tech, can redefine how we live.

Accessible technology is a win-win for the workforce
Technology is everywhere: in our pockets, on our wrists, in our ears. For many, it's a source of convenience, but for more than 1 in 4 Americans with disabilities, it can be a gateway to communication, connection, and career opportunities. Accessible technology is transforming what's possible at work and beyond. Tools like speech-generating apps, closed captioning, and smartwatches are creating new ways for people to communicate, navigate, and participate fully in daily life. When technology keeps accessibility at the forefront of its design, it improves experiences for everyone. From more flexible communication to seamless user interfaces, accessible tech drives innovation, opens up economic opportunity, and helps unlock the full potential of all workers. At Easterseals, accessible technology expands economic opportunity and unleashes talent. Take the Apple Watch, which allows users with limb differences or mobility challenges to make day-to-day tasks easier. Or tablets that support Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) software, supporting people who are nonverbal so they can communicate with colleagues and clients. Or Zoom, which has become crucial for professionals who have difficulty leaving home due to chronic illness, mobility disabilities, or lack of accessible transit. This kind of tech empowers people with disabilities. Last year, for example, Jennifer Wexton, whose neurological condition affected her ability to speak, became the first Member of Congress to address the House of Representatives using assistive communication technology. Her voice, and the technology that helped share it, demonstrates what's possible with accessible technology. In some cases, FDA-approved features are transforming how people hear and connect. AirPods now offer hearing aid functionality for users with mild to moderate hearing loss. And thanks to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' new transitional coverage for emerging technologies (TCET), access to cutting-edge tools is expanding even further. We are in a moment of profound possibility with the potential for rapid growth. For employers navigating a tight labor market and speedy tech adoption, accessible technology is a good business strategy. Globally, people with disabilities represent $13 trillion in buying power. And they're not only consumers—people with disabilities represent a skilled, motivated, and historically undervalued talent pool. In the U.S., an estimated 15 million working-age adults are disabled. Many are ready to work, but outdated hiring practices, inaccessible tools, or inflexible job requirements are barriers to their employment. That's a missed opportunity for everyone. And, companies that lead in hiring people with a disability outperform their peers, with 28% higher revenue and double the net income. Accessible tech can help close that gap. Consider a candidate who is highly qualified, but unable to type due to a disability that affects their fine motor skills. Voice recognition software and keyboard alternatives make it possible for them to do the job. Or an employee with a speech disability who uses AAC technology to deliver presentations and communicate with colleagues in real time. These are key developments that are currently being put to good use. Employers who embrace these possibilities can tap into a broader talent pool, improve retention, and build more innovative teams. But this growth takes intention and action. Business leaders should start by auditing their hiring processes to ensure accessibility at every step. That means making sure online applications and interview platforms are compatible with screen readers and voice input tools, and clearly stating that accommodations are available. Offering flexible work options, such as remote or hybrid roles, and asynchronous communication tools like Slack or email can remove significant barriers for employees with disabilities. Your benefits package should also include provider information on things like mental health support, assistive technologies, and coverage for devices that support hearing, mobility, or communication needs. In the workplace itself, integrate accessible technologies and design. Think conference rooms with real-time captioning or layouts that accommodate mobility devices. Keep accessibility paramount to your planning, purchasing, and decision-making processes so accessibility becomes part of the workplace culture. Finally, don't go it alone: partner with experts. Nonprofits like Easterseals, disability-led organizations, and government programs can provide audits, training, and guidance to help you build a workplace that works for everyone. When workplaces are designed to work for more people, they work better. Just look at the curb cut effect: Originally created for wheelchair access, curb cuts benefit parents with strollers, delivery workers with carts, and travelers with luggage. The same principle applies to tech. Voice assistants, closed captioning, and ergonomic design may start as accessibility tools, but they improve usability for everyone.

PCAOB permanently revokes Hong Kong company's registration over audit violations
The US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) has permanently revoked the registration of Hong Kong-based Centurion ZD CPA & Co and barred its owner, Chan Kam Fuk, for violating audit rules. The action is related to their audit work for companies operating in China, including Luckin Coffee. Centurion ZD CPA & Co and Chan have been sanctioned with a $75,000 civil penalty for failing to perform adequate risk assessments and obtain sufficient audit evidence in audits for three companies. According to the PCAOB, these failures were evident in the 2021 audit of Luckin Coffee, following a 2020 investigation revealing fabricated transactions by Luckin. Despite Luckin Coffee's previous settlement of accounting fraud charges with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Centurion ZD CPA & Co did not adequately address fraud risks in subsequent audits, the organisation said. The PCAOB's sanctions include a permanent revocation of the company's registration and a permanent bar against Chan. The company and Chan's violations extended to audits of a second Chinese company and audit procedures for subsidiaries of a Malaysian company. It said that they failed to obtain sufficient audit evidence and did not make required communications to audit committees, violating PCAOB standards. The PCAOB found further violations in how the company reported audits of two Chinese public companies, failing to comply with PCAOB rules in filing necessary forms. Chan was held directly responsible for these audit reporting violations. The company's numerous violations indicate a lack of quality control, and failing to ensure personnel had the required technical proficiency and that professional standards were met. Without admitting or denying the findings, Chan and the company consented to the PCAOB's order. Recently, the PCAOB imposed sanctions on PWR CPA over violations of its rules during the 2022 audit of Ainos. Additionally, the company faced repercussions for consistently failing to meet reporting requirements in audits of four other issuers.
