CN and Duos Technologies Sign Five Year Strategic Agreement

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: DUOT) is pleased to announce a new five-year agreement signed with CN (NYSE: CNI) that will enable Duos to offer Machine Vision/AI Wayside Detection Safety Data through a subscription service. For more than five years, CN has used Machine Vision/AI Wayside Detection technology along its network in Canada and the United States. CN has been using this solution to complement current manual inspections, helping maintain its fleet with more efficiency, leading to a safer and more reliable railway.

Duos is the inventor of the Railcar Inspection Portal and holder of ten active U.S. Patents of this cutting-edge solution making continual technical advances since 2010 with 13 portals deployed in Canada, Mexico, and the United States supporting four Class 1s and Amtrak.

Late last year, Duos and Amtrak began a pilot program to test the subscription concept for images. Amtrak’s long-distance passenger trains are scanned, and the machine vision images are sent in real time to Amtrak mechanical inspectors who have used the data with excellent results during the testing period.

Beginning this month, Duos will offer shippers and car owners that transit the CN network the opportunity to subscribe to this cutting-edge machine vision safety data. This safety information can be used in various ways to include predictive maintenance, trend analytics, and overall fleet health and maintenance.   The intent is to have better maintained railcars that make the network safer and more productive for everyone.

“Duos Technologies is honored to continue our long-standing support to CN,” said Chuck Ferry, CEO for Duos. “Duos has invested significant time and resources to prove out the Railcar Inspection Portal and we are pleased to be able to offer it to the many car owners and shippers that will benefit from it. Going forward we intend to further improve the solution and add additional cutting-edge capabilities with special emphasis on wheels and brakes.”

"We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Duos Technologies through this new five-year agreement," said Patrick Whitehead, Executive Vice-President and Chief Network Operating Officer at CN. “By leveraging Duos' technology, we are enhancing our inspection processes, ensuring better maintenance and health of our overall fleet through key data points and predictive analytics.”
