Paul McGlone, CEO at Seeing Machines, commented: "When we signed our initial strategic agreement with Caterpillar in 2015 to work exclusively to deliver our package of monitoring technology to their customers in certain core industry sectors related to mining, it was a transformational agreement for the industry. As we enter this next phase of our strategic collaboration with Caterpillar, we are delighted to be signing this revised agreement, setting the agenda for the next 5 years. The US$16.5 million payment will bolster our cash reserves and help deliver on our business plan as we move closer to achieving a cash flow break-even run rate in FY2025.
"Our incredible team continues to work tirelessly to ensure that Seeing Machines remains at the cutting edge of aftermarket Driver Monitoring System (DMS) solutions with our Guardian technology. Following the launch of the Guardian Generation 3 product earlier this year, and the renewal and expansion of our exclusive arrangement with Caterpillar, I believe we are well placed to take advantage of the regulation driven demand for our technology across customers in these vertical industries."
Seeing Machines continues to protect commercial transport and logistics companies with its aftermarket Guardian solution globally, with over 16 billion kilometres of recorded travel across more than 59,000 vehicles. The third generation Guardian hardware, launched this year and now being delivered to bus and truck manufacturers to meet the European General Safety Regulation, also delivers a range of features that leverage the Company's proven automotive-grade algorithms and precision optics to deliver premium performance in the most demanding real-world driving conditions.
