ODYSIGHT.AI ANNOUNCES PURCHASE ORDER AGREEMENT EXCEEDING $10M FOR ITS PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE SOLUTION, FROM A LEADING INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE CONTRACTOR, TO BE FULLY INTEGRATED IN ITS NEW UAV CONFIGURATION AS WELL AS EXISTING UAV LINE


OMER, Israel, Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Odysight.ai Inc. (OTCQB: ODYS), is pleased to announce the signing of a purchase order agreement exceeding $10M with a leading international defense contractor for its vision-based predictive maintenance (PdM) and condition-based monitoring (CBM) system to be integrated from the design phase into a UAV host platform baseline configuration, as well as into an existing UAV line. The agreement is for UAV series that are sold globally and are expected to encompass several hundred systems spanning the life of the programs. Odysight.ai’s addressable market for its UAV-specific solutions is estimated at multibillion dollars.

The integration of Odysight.ai’s PdM solution from the design phase highlights our solution’s maturity and value add to the UAV platforms. Odysight.ai’s visual sensing-based system for PdM provides a state-of-the-art solution incorporating advanced AI algorithms for diagnostics and prognostic health management applications. This groundbreaking technology is designed to empower users to monitor and manage the health of their assets without requiring specialized technicians or manual intervention, providing crucial support for the aerospace sector by enabling PdM and CBM of aerial vehicles. Odysight.ai’s technology enhances sustainment, operational availability and safety of any platform, providing our clients with unmatched capabilities, including an onboard Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS).

Colonel (Res.) Yehu Ofer, CEO of Odysight.ai, reflected on this purchase order, stating, “This order represents an exciting new milestone for Odysight.ai, serving as a strong endorsement of our technology’s effectiveness and accelerating the growth of our orderbook and backlog. I am proud that a leading global defense contractor chose to integrate our system in their new UAV from the design phase, and believe this further demonstrates the substantial value we deliver to our customers and significantly strengthens our position for future contracts. This purchase order demonstrates that our systems can be retrofitted for existing platforms, as well as integrated from design, which materially grows our addressable market. This capability is unique and is another material advantage compared to the capabilities of legacy monitoring systems, based on acoustics, temperature and vibrations, which are usually installed only at the design phase. Odysight.ai’s system can complement systems in both existing and new platforms, as demonstrated by our growing order book of purchase orders in 2024.”
