APPLETON, WI – December 09, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
McCormick Industries today announced expanded emphasis on ISO 9001:2015-certified processes supporting its precision CNC medical machining services, underscoring the organization’s commitment to consistent quality, traceability, and regulatory-aligned production for the medical device sector. The company confirmed that its certified quality management framework continues to guide investments in machining technology, process controls, and metrology capabilities as demand for complex medical components increases across surgical, diagnostic, and implantable device categories.
The organization reported heightened interest from medical device OEMs seeking tighter tolerances, validated workflows, and repeatable machining outcomes for intricate geometries produced from stainless steel, titanium, cobalt-chrome, and engineered polymers. By emphasizing its certified system and long-standing experience with close-tolerance CNC operations, McCormick Industries aims to provide manufacturers with a dependable partner for mission-critical components used in clinical environments where reliability is essential.
Leadership noted that increased scrutiny in the medical supply chain has driven heightened expectations around process documentation, statistical process controls, and first-article verification. As part of its ongoing commitment to these requirements, the company continues to refine machining strategies for multi-axis milling, Swiss turning, micromachining, and secondary finishing steps that support the dimensional integrity and surface quality demanded in medical applications.
According to the company, the ISO 9001:2015 framework provides a structured foundation for evaluating production risks, maintaining consistency, and supporting continuous improvement. This approach enables the organization to apply rigorous inspection protocols, incorporate in-process measurement, and ensure that production data supports repeatability for high-volume and low-volume manufacturing programs alike.
Gary Hermsen, CEO of McCormick Industries, stated that the certification reflects the discipline and culture required for long-term success in the medical machining field. “The expectations surrounding medical device components are exceptionally high, and our team understands the responsibility associated with supporting patient-facing technologies,” Hermsen said. “ISO 9001:2015 certification reinforces our commitment to controlled processes, documented performance, and consistent results for customers who depend on reliable manufacturing partners.”
Hermsen explained that the company’s focus on precision machining extends to toolpath optimization, fixture engineering, and advanced simulation techniques designed to ensure stability during machining of delicate features. He added that the company has observed particular growth in demand for micro-machined components, minimally invasive surgical device parts, and assemblies requiring tight tolerance stack-ups.
The company emphasized that its quality protocols support stringent inspection routines that integrate coordinate measuring machines, optical comparators, and high-resolution vision systems. These tools enable verification of burr-free edges, thread integrity, micro-surface requirements, and dimensional accuracy that must remain consistent across production runs.
McCormick Industries also highlighted the importance of material expertise in medical machining. The company’s technicians and programmers work extensively with materials known for biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and durability, which often require specialized feeds, speeds, and coolants to maintain structural integrity throughout production. This experience supports manufacturers producing components for orthopedic devices, surgical instrumentation, cardiovascular systems, and other advanced medical technologies.
As one of the leading medical machining companies, McCormick Industries continues to refine workflows that support supply chain reliability, production scheduling, and responsiveness to evolving customer requirements. Leadership reported that many OEMs are seeking shorter lead times, improved continuity, and partnerships with vendors capable of adapting to shifting regulatory expectations and design changes
The company reiterated that ISO 9001:2015 certification serves as a key differentiator in an environment where documented quality systems are essential for collaboration with major medical device developers. By maintaining this certification, McCormick Industries aims to provide assurance that its processes remain consistent, controlled, and aligned with the high expectations of the industry.
Hermsen added that the organization views quality not as a singular milestone but as an ongoing objective. “Our responsibility is to remain vigilant in how we evaluate performance, how we improve processes, and how we meet the evolving needs of our customers,” he said. “ISO 9001:2015 gives us a framework for that commitment, and our team carries that responsibility through every stage of manufacturing.”
McCormick Industries expects demand for precision CNC medical machining to continue increasing as device technologies grow more intricate and as manufacturers pursue higher levels of accuracy and traceability. The company intends to maintain its focus on certification, controlled processes, and technology investment as core elements of its long-term strategy.

The company has expanded its technical expertise and training programs to meet growing demand for energy-efficient heating and cooling systems across upstate New York.
The announcement comes as homeowners throughout the region seek alternatives to traditional heating systems amid rising energy costs and increased availability of state rebates. As a certified contractor for NYSERDA and other heat pump rebate programs, the company has positioned itself to help residential and commercial customers transition to more efficient climate control solutions.
“The HVAC industry has seen significant consolidation with many contractors being acquired by private equity firms focused primarily on sales volume,” said Lloyd Knecht of ANC Heating & Air Conditioning. “As an independent, family-owned business, we maintain our commitment to designing custom solutions that truly meet each customer’s needs rather than pushing standardized packages. Our extensive training center and 30,000 square foot showroom demonstrate our investment in both technical excellence and customer education.”
The company’s expanded services encompass a comprehensive range of heating and cooling solutions, including air conditioning installation, boiler and radiant heat systems, ductless mini-splits, and high-efficiency heat pumps specifically designed for cold climate applications.

“Our tagline, ‘High Service without the High Pressure,’ reflects our approach to every customer interaction,” added Knecht. “Whether addressing hot and cold spots in a home, designing a commercial HVAC system, or helping customers navigate available rebates, we focus on education and proper system design rather than aggressive sales tactics.”
Trusted Heating & Cooling Experts in Binghamton NY since 1963, the company has built its reputation through consistent service excellence, earning the number one ranking in local surveys for 30 consecutive years. The organization’s dedication to the community extends beyond service delivery, with active participation in local initiatives and a commitment to maintaining local ownership and operation.

SIMI VALLEY, CA – December 09, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
All In Solutions California has expanded its comprehensive outpatient treatment programs to better serve individuals transitioning from detoxification and residential care into sustainable, long-term recovery. The expansion emphasizes the critical role that structured outpatient care plays in helping clients rebuild their lives while maintaining sobriety.
The addiction treatment center, located in Simi Valley, CA, recognizes that while detoxification marks an essential first step in recovery, the journey toward lasting sobriety truly takes shape during outpatient treatment. Through programs including Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient services, clients receive structured support while gradually resuming daily responsibilities.
“Outpatient care is where recovery begins to integrate into real life. By balancing structure with independence, clients develop the confidence to succeed beyond treatment,” said Elizabeth Rahmani, Counselor, RADT at All In Solutions California.
All In Solutions California outpatient programs combine evidence-based therapies with peer support networks and practical life skills development. Each client receives individualized counseling tailored to their specific needs, alongside group therapy sessions that foster community and shared learning experiences. The programs emphasize relapse prevention education and coping strategies that prepare individuals for the challenges they may face outside the treatment environment.
The facility’s approach to outpatient care addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, recognizing the complex nature of addiction recovery. Clients benefit from a seamless continuum of care, with many transitioning directly from the center’s medical detox and residential programs into outpatient services. This integrated approach ensures consistency in treatment philosophy and therapeutic relationships throughout the recovery journey.
All In Solutions California in Simi Valley, CA offers flexible scheduling options that accommodate work, education, and family commitments. The PHP program provides intensive therapeutic support with clients spending between seven and eight hours daily in clinical programming, six days per week. For those requiring less intensive support, the IOP offers several therapy sessions weekly while allowing greater independence.
Michael Maddaloni, COO at All In Solutions, emphasized the importance of matching treatment intensity to individual needs. “Every person’s recovery journey is unique. Our outpatient programs provide varying levels of support to meet clients where they are in their recovery process while challenging them to grow and develop essential life skills.”
The expansion of outpatient services reflects growing recognition within the addiction treatment community that recovery extends far beyond initial detoxification and residential care. By providing comprehensive outpatient support, treatment centers help bridge the gap between intensive inpatient care and independent living.
All In Solutions California serves the Simi Valley community and surrounding areas with evidence-based addiction treatment services. The organization as a whole offers medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and specialized components including trauma-focused treatment and family therapy integration. The center works with most private health insurance plans to ensure accessible care for those seeking recovery from substance use disorders.

Mindmachines.com has expanded the capabilities of its Roshiwave with advanced brainwave disentrainment protocols designed to help users achieve deep meditative states typically associated with experienced practitioners. The third-generation device employs Dynamic Neuro-Activation technology to normalize brainwave patterns through calibrated light stimulation, offering an alternative approach to traditional meditation practices.
The meditation gadget operates through photostimulation, delivering specially calibrated flickering light patterns via RGB LED glasses directly to the brain. Users can modify color outputs through simple button controls to access multiple operating protocols designed for various applications, including stress reduction, enhanced learning capabilities, behavioral modification, and improved sleep quality.
“The Roshiwave represents a significant advancement in making deep meditation accessible to individuals who struggle with traditional mindfulness practices,” said Fred Williams, a representative from Mindmachines.com. “Our enhanced protocols allow users to achieve brainwave states similar to those of experienced meditation practitioners in as little as 15 minutes.”
The enhanced Roshiwave utilizes proprietary brainwave technology that differs from conventional entrainment methods by dis-entraining repetitive mental patterns rather than synchronizing the brain to specific frequencies. This approach allows the brain to normalize its activity naturally, guiding users to meditative states beyond the perception of time without requiring conscious effort or prior meditation experience.
The updated device includes all classic ROSHI-style protocols that have undergone extensive research, plus newly developed multiplexed versions that expand its functionality. These enhancements enable the device to address a broader range of user needs, from basic stress relief to advanced cognitive optimization. The technology operates through what the company describes as an Error-Correction System for the Brain, which helps normalize brainwave patterns to support improved performance across various cognitive and wellness areas.
The mind machine market has experienced increased interest as more individuals seek technology-assisted approaches to mental wellness and performance enhancement. Corporate wellness programs and educational institutions have begun integrating such technologies into their offerings, recognizing the potential benefits for stress management and cognitive enhancement.
“We’re seeing growing adoption among both individual users and wellness practitioners who appreciate the non-invasive nature of the technology,” added Williams. “The device serves as a digital compass for the brain, gently normalizing brainwaves and guiding the mind to a meditative state that many find difficult to achieve through conventional methods.”
The Roshiwave addresses this demand by providing a method for achieving altered states of consciousness and ganzfeld effects that support inner peace, personal wellness, and improved sleep quality. The device is positioned as a general wellness tool for stress management and cognitive enhancement rather than a medical device, with the company emphasizing that it should not be used by individuals with seizure disorders.
Mindmachines.com is an online distributor of brain machines, brainwave entrainment technology, AVS stimulation devices, EEG neurofeedback equipment, mind machines and meditation gadget machines. The company serves as the worldwide distributor of the Roshiwave self meditation device, which is currently available through their website.

Fragmented tools, inconsistent frameworks, and time-consuming evidence collection frequently slow cloud transformation initiatives. The newly enhanced platform addresses these challenges by combining a powerful multi-cloud assessment engine with CoreStack’s latest agentic AI capabilities, enabling users to accelerate assessments, surface deeper contextual insights, and operationalize remediation faster and more accurately than ever before.
Intelligent Multi-Cloud Assessment, Purpose-Built for Scale
The upgraded platform supports assessments across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and custom frameworks through a unified workflow. Automated scans use a library of 3,000+ policies to provide deep visibility into risks, misconfigurations, and optimization opportunities. Enhanced reporting delivers clear visualizations, executive-ready summaries, and detailed exports for informed decision-making. Multi-tenant hierarchy and identity isolation enable partners to deliver assessments at scale while maintaining strong security and separation across customer environments.
These improvements significantly reduce assessment cycle times while ensuring consistency, accuracy, and repeatability across organizations of all sizes.
Breakthrough Agentic AI Capabilities
The release introduces CoreStack’s most advanced AI features to date, establishing a new standard for intelligent assessment operations:
Assessments AI Agent – A conversational, intent-driven assistant that plans assessments, orchestrates scans, interprets findings, and initiates remediation actions through natural language or API. It reduces manual work, improves precision, and accelerates issue resolution.
Agentic Feed – A dynamic intelligence stream that proactively alerts users to posture changes, new risks, anomalies, and opportunities for improvement. It shifts assessments from periodic snapshots to always-current, subscription-driven intelligence.
MCP Integration – Enables partners and enterprises to embed assessment capabilities directly into their own platforms, dashboards, and internal AI agents, unlocking scalable assessment-as-a-service offerings and tighter operational integration.
These agentic capabilities transform the assessment from reactive to predictive and from manual to automated, ensuring cloud posture is aligned with organizational goals.
From Assessment to Continuous Governance
The enhanced platform provides a seamless path from insight to action. Remediation can be triggered through the AI Agent, the platform UI, or MCP workflows. When integrated with CoreStack Cumulus, assessment outcomes flow into guardrails, policy enforcement, and compliance programs, enabling continuous governance and faster cloud transformation.
CEO Statement
“Assessments must evolve as rapidly as the cloud environments they evaluate,” said Ezhilarasan (Ez) Natarajan, Founder & CEO of CoreStack. “This new agentic, AI-powered release transforms assessments into an intelligent, automated, and continuous capability, empowering organizations to assess faster, remediate smarter, and govern with confidence.”
