(OTCQX: DCSX) (CSE: DCSI) (FSE: 7QU) ("DCS" or the "Company") a leading provider of information technology solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) market, is excited to announce it has entered into a strategic agreement (the "Agreement") on September 26, 2023 with CATrak Technologies, Inc. to offer its Catalytic Converter Theft Prevention solution.
加州圣地亚哥-(Newsfile Corp.-2023年9月28日)-Direct Communications Solutions,Inc.(OTCQX:DCSX)(CSE:DCSI)(FSE:7QU)(“集散控制系统”或“公司”)一家领先的物联网(IoT)市场信息技术解决方案提供商兴奋地宣布,它已达成一项战略协议(“协议”)于2023年9月26日与CATrak Technologies,Inc.合作提供其催化转化器防盗解决方案。
Catalytic Converter theft is on the rise on North America according to a new report based on insurance claims data released by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NCIB)*, which shows a surge in catalytic converter thefts across the country. According to NCIB, the US experienced more than 64,000 catalytic converter thefts in 2022. Leading the country in thefts are California and Texas, which experienced more than 32,000 catalytic converter thefts in 2022. Catalytic converters contain precious rare earth metals like palladium, platinum, and rhodium, that are currently more valuable than gold.
根据美国国家保险犯罪局(NCIB)*发布的一份基于保险索赔数据的新报告,催化转化器盗窃在北美呈上升趋势,该报告显示,全国催化转化器盗窃案件激增。根据NCIB的数据,2022年美国发生了超过6.4万起催化转化器被盗事件。加利福尼亚州和德克萨斯州的盗窃案件在全国名列前茅,2022年这两个州发生了超过3.2万起催化转化器盗窃事件。催化转化器含有贵重的稀土金属,如钯、铂和铑,目前这些金属比黄金更有价值。
The NCIB report also shares that stolen catalytic converters are typically sold to metal recyclers for $50 to $250, and up to $800 for a catalytic converter from a hybrid vehicle. Replacing a stolen catalytic converter can cost between $1,000 to $3,500 or more, depending on the type of vehicle. The loss to a business with a fleet of vehicles can suffer a significant financial impact due to loss of use of their fleet while they wait for replacement parts to be installed. Insurance companies are also spending a lot of money on replacing stolen catalytic converters. In 2021, State Farm Insurance paid out more than $73 million in converter theft claims nationally. In 2022, it jumped to $112 million.
NCIB的报告还指出,被盗的催化转化器通常以50至250美元的价格卖给金属回收商,混合动力汽车的催化转化器售价高达800美元。更换被盗的催化转化器的费用可能在1000美元到3500美元或更高,具体取决于车辆类型。拥有车队的企业的损失可能会受到重大的财务影响,因为他们在等待安装更换部件的过程中失去了车队的使用。保险公司也在花费大量资金更换被盗的催化转化器。2021年,州立农场保险公司在全国范围内支付了超过7300万美元的转炉盗窃索赔。2022年,这一数字跃升至1.12亿美元。
"The rise of theft has increased the awareness of businesses seeking a solution to protect fleet vehicles as well as personal automobiles. The CATrak Catalytic Converter Theft Prevention solution is a unique first line of defence preventing the widespread and costly problem of catalytic converter theft, which has a massive financial impact on the transportation industry" said Dave Scowby, COO of DCS. "Partnering with CATrak to offer their simple to deploy IoT solution and user-friendly software applications, creates unique opportunities for DCS to enable our extensive channel of dealers, partners, and resellers with IoT solutions that solve real-world problems. In addition to creating new recurring revenue streams for DCS and our partners."
Dcs首席运营官戴夫·斯考比表示:“盗窃行为的增加提高了寻求保护车队车辆和个人汽车解决方案的企业的意识。CATrak催化转化器防盗解决方案是防止催化转化器被盗这一普遍且代价高昂的问题的独特第一道防线,这对运输业造成了巨大的财务影响。”与CATrak合作,提供易于部署的物联网解决方案和用户友好的软件应用程序,为DCS创造了独特的机会,使我们的经销商、合作伙伴和经销商能够通过物联网解决方案解决现实世界的问题。此外,还为DCS和我们的合作伙伴创造了新的经常性收入来源。
