In January 2023, the Company booked six units with 12-month contracts, and another six units for pilot projects and dealer demonstration units. The 12-month contracts produced approximately $54,000 in annual recurring revenue.

A significant new client in Hawaii has ordered their first 4 ROSA™ units, marking what potentially could be the beginning of an extensive, lucrative relationship. Additionally, 12 units, a combination of ROSA and RIO™ units, are fulfilling the previously announced order for a Midwest grocery chain.
