API Expertise Starts Here – Join PetroSync Training Today

Advance faster in oil & gas with PetroSync’s API training. Gain expertise, ensure safety, and unlock career opportunities.

When Your Competitor Moves Faster, What’s Holding You Back?

Imagine this: your closest competitor just announced zero non-compliance issues in their latest inspection report. Meanwhile, your team is still scrambling to interpret the latest API Standard.

This isn’t a fictional scenario. In today’s high-stakes oil and gas industry, those who upskill fastest, win fastest. The reality? Companies that invest in structured API training are outperforming those who don’t—by a large margin.

Your competitor’s edge isn’t always technology—it’s their people. And if your team isn’t equipped with the right API knowledge, you’re not just falling behind. You’re giving others permission to lead.

Productivity Drops Don’t Always Come from the Market

We often blame market instability or supply chain issues for declining performance. But let’s be honest—when deadlines are missed, audits fail, and reworks pile up, it’s often due to a lack of technical competency on the ground.

According to a recent McKinsey study, companies that prioritized upskilling saw productivity improvements of up to 25%. How? By aligning their teams with industry-recognized certifications such as API 510, which ensures pressure vessel integrity through accurate inspection and evaluation.

This isn’t just training. It’s transformation.

The Hidden Cost of Delayed Training

You may think training is expensive. But what about the cost of failure?

When your team doesn’t understand API standards inside-out, you’re not just risking minor delays. You’re risking shutdowns, safety breaches, and penalties. Worse, you're losing client trust.

Let’s not forget operational inefficiencies—something that can cost your company millions over time. Teams trained in API 510 training consistently report reduced inspection time, fewer reworks, and faster compliance clearance.

And with modern support tools like AI-driven inspection chatbots, efficiency skyrockets even more. One case study showed a 30% reduction in inspection-related downtime thanks to AI-assisted decision-making post-training.

Empower Your Team Before Others Overtake You

By joining PetroSync, you're not just accessing certified API training—you’re unlocking a competitive strategy.

Our expert-led programs are designed to elevate operational excellence, empower professionals, and align your team with the most current API practices. Whether you’re a plant manager, operations head, or senior engineer, the path to greater confidence and performance starts with a single step.

And that step is today. Not tomorrow. Because every day you wait, your competitor gets stronger.

About PetroSync Global Internasional

PetroSync was established in Singapore in 2010 and began its expansion into Indonesia in 2013. To this day, PetroSync has become a leading oil and gas training provider, with a participant passing rate as high as 90%.

The World's First Product Combining Apple Watch and AI Note Bone Conduction Technology for Seamless Cross-Device Sync

  

SINGAPORE, 30 September 2025 – In today’s digital workplace, information and conversations are often dispersed across multiple devices — from video conferences on the computer, urgent calls on the phone, to spontaneous notes captured on a smartwatch. This fragmentation results in inefficiencies and creates “information silos”, posing a daily challenge for many professionals. Following the 21 September launch in Singapore of its full-stack voice efficiency ecosystem and debut hardware device, the AIKONIC AI NOTE, AIKONIC today highlights a key innovation: the world’s first integration powered by AIKONIC AI that combines the Apple Watch with AI Note’s bone-conduction technology, enabling truly seamless synchronisation across watch, phone and computer.

A Seamless Day with Cross-Device Intelligence: Project Director David's Experience

Follow Project Director David through his highly efficient workday to see how AIKONIC AI transforms productivity.

10:00 AM | The Office | PC Recording David is at his laptop, leading a critical strategy video meeting. The AIKONIC AI NOTE, serving as his audio device, accurately records every discussion point and key decision from the session.

11:30 AM | The Hallway | Mobile Phone Recording As the meeting concludes, a key partner calls his mobile. Walking briskly back to his office, David naturally holds the phone to his ear. The AIKONIC AI NOTE, attached to the back of his phone, uses advanced bone conduction technology to capture both David's voice and the caller's voice from the earpiece with crystal clarity. This works seamlessly with WhatsApp, Line, WeChat, and standard calls.

3:00 PM | On the Road | Smartwatch Recording While traveling to his next appointment, David has a breakthrough idea for solving a project bottleneck. Rather than unsafely reaching for his phone, he simply taps the record button on his Apple Watch and captures the idea using natural voice commands.

This is the Cross-Device Recording Revolution powered by AIKONIC AI.

From PC to mobile phone to smartwatch, all of David's important voice data is captured, transcribed, and consolidated into a unified AIKONIC AI knowledge base, accessible anytime, anywhere.

World-First Technology: The Engineering Behind Seamless Experience

This seamless experience is powered by AIKONIC AI's world-first "Apple Watch + AI NOTE Bone Conduction Technology" integration. By combining the AI NOTE's powerful bone conduction capabilities with the Apple Watch's portability, users can simply tap their watch to record when using a phone isn't convenient. The audio file is automatically synced and processed by AIKONIC AI.

This creates a unified ecosystem connecting your mobile phone, smartwatch, and AI NOTE into a comprehensive information capture network. Deep discussions from your PC, instant communications from your phone, and spontaneous insights from your watch converge into a complete, coherent memory network. AIKONIC AI becomes the central hub of your personal information ecosystem, ensuring every important conversation across all devices is captured and transformed into searchable, actionable intelligence.

Hardware and Subscription

AIKONIC AI NOTE Hardware Price: US$129 per unit

Subscription Services: A range of subscription plans are available to suit everyone, from casual users to professionals who need heaps of transcription services. Tiers include the Starter Plan, Note Plus, Pro Plan, and Unlimited Plan.

Users can subscribe and manage plans directly through the AIKONIC official website and mobile application.

Wacom Introduces the MovinkPad Pro 14, the Next Step in Its Portable Creative Pad Lineup

Today Wacom announced the Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14, the next step in its Portable Creative Pad lineup, offering enhanced power, flexibility, and an immersive experience in an all-in-one creative device.

The MovinkPad Pro 14 is tailored for creators who want to push their craft further—whether aspiring to become professionals or already working at that level.

Immersive display and pen performance

The 14-inch OLED screen with 2880 × 1800 resolution, 100% coverage of both DCI-P3 (CIE1931) (typ) and sRGB (CIE1931) (typ), and up to 120Hz refresh rate delivers rich detail and fluid motion for illustration and design. With Wacom’s Premium Textured Glass—its unique anti-glare, anti-reflection, and anti-fingerprint surface treatment—the display minimizes distractions, while direct bonding reduces parallax for a pen-on-paper feel. The MovinkPad Pro 14 comes with the battery-free Wacom Pro Pen 3, trusted for its precision and natural drawing feel.

Enhanced creative workflow

The MovinkPad Pro 14 retains the Quick drawing function introduced with the MovinkPad 11. With a tap and brief hold of the pen, the device now wakes up faster, so creators can capture ideas instantly.

The upgraded Wacom Canvas adds pen variations and multi-touch zooming, while the new Wacom Shelf makes files easier to view and organize. Projects can move seamlessly into Clip Studio Paint, as it comes with a one-year DEBUT license and a three-month EX license, for access to advanced tools and features.

The device also debuts Wacom Lab, an application for pre-release features. Its highlight is Instant Pen Display Mode, which lets the MovinkPad Pro 14 connect to a PC or Mac—wired via USB-C or wirelessly—and function as a traditional pen display. This gives creators the freedom of an all-in-one device with the option to integrate into desktop workflows when needed.

Performance and mobility

Utilizing Android 15 and powered by the Snapdragon® 8s Gen 3 SoC with an octa-core CPU, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, the MovinkPad Pro 14 leverages premium capabilities. It enables complex workflows beyond illustration—such as 3D modeling and animation. Its 10,000mAh battery, slim 5.9mm profile, and 699g weight make it portable for all-day creation.

“With the introduction of the MovinkPad 11, we opened a new category of Portable Creative Pads for anyone who wanted to create freely without a computer,” said Koji Yano, Senior Vice President, Creative Experience Unit at Wacom. “The new MovinkPad Pro 14 takes this concept further, offering the display quality, pen precision, and workflow options aspiring and professional creators expect. It represents our commitment to delivering immersive experiences that help creators stay focused.”

Customize your setup with pens and accessories

Alongside the included Pro Pen 3, the MovinkPad Pro 14 supports digital pens from stationery brands such as LAMY, STAEDTLER, and Dr. Grip. An optional Cover attaches magnetically to protect the screen.

Availability

The Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14 will be available this fall through Wacom’s eStore and select retailers worldwide.
