Railway Metrics and Dynamics Publishes Half-Year Report for January–June 2024
Initiated serial deliveries of both cameras and PMUs, new approved patents, agency agreement with Indonesian Artindo, strong patent valuation, and steadily increasing sales. The first half of 2024 for Railway Metrics and Dynamics is characterized by stability and international expansion, as summarized in the half-year report published today. The report is available as an attached document and on the company's website, railwaymetrics.com.
2024 began with high intensity for the company, with both testing and production being carried out and continuing with good progress into the second quarter. We have seen increased interest in our products from several new players, and our efforts to expand our presence in international markets are advancing rapidly.
During the spring, RMD received a number of orders for its products and is in advanced negotiations with several customers for additional orders. As a result, the company has decided to initiate serial production, initially producing 120 PMUs (Performance Monitoring Units) and 100 rear-view cameras for delivery to customers in the upcoming fall and winter.
We have also placed significant focus on further developing the advanced AI and Machine Learning solutions that form the foundation of our system. This is a central element in the digitalization of the railway sector, and we see substantial potential for our products.
The company is now in a phase moving towards serial deliveries and is expected to see steadily increasing revenues according to our business model. Our strategic goals are in line with the plan, with market trends aligning with our internal objectives. We also look forward to upcoming collaborations with our newly acquired partners in South America and Indonesia. We have made good progress and continue to focus on delivering value to our stakeholders.
