Nice announcement this morning regarding the award of another Patent – this time for its AI. Duos has been steadily investing and developing in this area and, in my opinion, this will translate to business going forward as the benefits are recognized by the operators and rail car owners. One of the key points here is that part of that investment has gone into building a staff (plus consultants) of highly skilled, experienced rail engineers which (again in my opinion) gives them an advantage in development of rail specific AI models. I encourage everyone to read the Patent (US 11,891,098 B1) which discusses the use of this expertise in “Human in the Loop” feedback models which is why Duos models have such high performance.

Subject: Is Duos the next NVDIA?
Summary: NVIDIA announced their blowout results last night. I looked back at their historical share price and saw that in 2015, their share price was similar to Duos’ current price.
My Opinion: NVIDIA’s phenomenal growth is driven by their specialized chipsets focused on AI performance. Duos, an NVIDIA Metropolis partner, uses NVIDIA L4 GPUs to power its AI-enabled railcar inspection systems. Duos uses NVIDIA chipsets to drive specialized algorithms that are developed in-house by Duos, facilitating rapid identification and analysis of issues on railcars. Analysts discuss how NVIDIA’s current valuation which is 25x revenue is not necessarily expensive due to the perceived potential growth they could experience in the next several years. While Duos has not achieved its potential yet, the focus on AI, the switch to the subscription model and the orders of magnitude increase in the TAM that this allows, could bode well for Duos in the coming years.

“Railway Age” reported on June 7, 2023 that Class 1 railroad CPKC, the result of a merger between Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern, is petitioning the Federal Rail Administration for a “Waiver of Compliance” regarding freight car, brake system safety standards. According to the Federal Register, CPKC proposes to implement new technology, Duos Technologies‘ rip® Railcar Inspection (DTRI) that will “allow FRA to confirm remotely at the time a train arrives at the international bridge that the train has passed the Class I or Class III brake test in Sanchez Yard and allows qualified mechanical inspectors to use the DTRI data to confirm the ‘mechanical soundness’ of any train interchanged from KCSM to CPKC.” The full article can be viewed here:

My Opinion: This is a significant development for Duos in that its technology is being directly cited as a key system to be used in automation for a railroad. Duos has been active recently in presenting its technologies to government, regulators and stakeholders.

This is the second earnings call event in 2023 and the first for FY2023 results. If you have the time, I would encourage all who are interested to dial into this event. 877-407-3088 or 201-389-0927, Code:13738333
Although it has been relatively quiet the last few weeks, this is the start of a busy period with the earnings call followed by the Annual Shareholders Meeting the following day. For the earnings call, in addition to the prepared remarks from the CEO and CFO, the analysts typically ask questions at the end which helps provide context on the information presented. While the prepared remarks will cover a review of the financials, the CEO will give further updates on the business and, in my opinion, could offer some insight into the Company’s plans and strategies going forward as well as perspective on recent events.
As we did for the last call, if you would like a question addressed on the call, please email it to DUOT@duostech.com. In the subject line put “Question for Earnings Call”. You can identify yourself or remain anonymous.

Key points from the latest analyst report:
" We believe the combination of Duos hitting critical mass with its AI algorithms last year, increased urgency among rail eco-system participants, likely government involvement in standardization measures, and the ease of consumption via a subscription model should shorten sales cycles.
Duos is the only company with a full end-to-end system, critical mass in AI algorithms, and a subscription option. This model offers the best prevention measures possible to date."

Updated report from Northland Capital.
Summary: "While there are 1,200 train derailments each year in the US, the issue has recently garnered wider attention given high profile derailments. This has prompted more focus on safety at the federal and state level, and among train companies. We believe Duos' AI-powered inspection automation systems can play a big role in reducing risks, and can find 8x the defects of traditional methods. In the note, we also provide the economics around a subscription offering, which can accelerate consumption."

We have received inquiries from investors re the recent derailment in Ohio. The most common question is could the Duos RIP detect the issues that led to that derailment?
Here is what I can tell you. Our systems examine the entire set of railcars including top, sides and undercarriage. The 11 systems in production (soon to be 13), all can capture images which a trained inspector could use to identity issues that could lead to a derailment. AI is deployed on these systems and depending on the anomaly, the inspection teams could be notified in near “real-time” to use the images to conduct further investigation which can lead to them stopping a train.
It is too early to know what the exact cause of the East Palestine derailment was. We doubt that the railcar in question passed through one of our portals as we are not deployed in that area. However, if there was a mechanical issue that led to the derailment, our system likely would have the relevant images at a minimum and possibly could have pre-identified the issue with an appropriate AI algorithm. Our in-house mechanical car inspectors help us with the design of our AI and in the past, we have observed railcars that transited our system and our in-house mechanical car inspectors identified potentially serious issues - we notified the railroad in question and the actual train was halted pending further investigation and the potential avoidance of a serious incident. I will update further if we learn more.
