(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.
加州聖地亞哥-(Newsfile Corp.-2023年9月28日)-Direct Communications Solutions,Inc.(OTCQX:DCSX)(CSE:DCSI)(FSE:7QU)(“集散控制系統”或“公司”)一家領先的物聯網(IoT)市場資訊技術解決方案提供商興奮地宣佈,它已達成一項戰略協定(“協定”)於2023年9月26日與CATrak Technologies,Inc.合作提供其催化轉化器防盜解決方案。
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.
根據美國國家保險犯罪局(NCIB)*發佈的一份基於保險索賠數據的新報告,催化轉化器竊盜在北美呈上升趨勢,該報告顯示,全國催化轉化器盜竊案件激增。根據NCIB的數據,2022年美國發生了超過6.4萬起催化轉化器被盜事件。加利福尼亞州和德克薩斯州的盜竊案件在全國名列前茅,2022年這兩個州發生了超過3.2萬起催化轉化器竊盜事件。催化轉化器含有貴重的稀土金屬,如鈀、鉑和銠,目前這些金屬比黃金更有價值。
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的報告還指出,被盜的催化轉化器通常以50至250美元的價格賣給金屬回收商,混合動力汽車的催化轉化器售價高達800美元。更換被盜的催化轉化器的費用可能在1000美元到3500美元或更高,具體取決於車輛類型。擁有車隊的企業的損失可能會受到重大的財務影響,因為他們在等待安裝更換部件的過程中失去了車隊的使用。保險公司也在花費大量資金更換被盜的催化轉化器。2021年,州立農場保險公司在全國範圍內支付了超過7300萬美元的轉爐竊盜索賠。2022年,這一數位躍升至1.12億美元。
"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首席運營官戴夫·斯考比表示:“竊盜行為的增加提高了尋求保護車隊車輛和個人汽車解決方案的企業的意識。CATrak催化轉化器防盜解決方案是防止催化轉化器被盜這一普遍且代價高昂的問題的獨特第一道防線,這對運輸業造成了巨大的財務影響。”與CATrak合作,提供易於部署的物聯網解決方案和用戶友好的軟體應用程式,為DCS創造了獨特的機會,使我們的經銷商、合作夥伴和經銷商能夠通過物聯網解決方案解決現實世界的問題。此外,還為DCS和我們的合作夥伴創造了新的經常性收入來源。
"DCS has deep roots in the IoT industry through its carrier partners and solutions providers. Their complete understanding and expertise in aiding IoT solutions to market, is the driving force behind CATrak working with DCS," said Mark Richardi, Cofounder and CEO of CATrak. "Leveraging the DCS managed logistics services, allows CATrak to dedicate its efforts on delivering our solution in a time where the transportation industry is experiencing a huge spike in catalytic converter thefts, costing victims and insurance companies millions of dollars in replacement parts and vehicle downtime."
CATrak聯合創始人兼首席執行官Mark Richardi表示:“通過運營商合作夥伴和解決方案提供商,DCS在物聯網行業有著深厚的根基。他們在幫助物聯網解決方案推向市場方面的全面理解和專業知識,是CATrak與DCS合作的背後推動力。”利用分佈式控制系統管理的物流服務,使CATrak能夠致力於提供我們的解決方案,而此時運輸業正在經歷催化轉化器竊盜事件的巨大激增,給受害者和保險公司造成了數百萬美元的更換部件和車輛停機損失。“
