HONG KONG, Dec. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Taoping Inc. (NASDAQ: TAOP, the “Company” or “Taoping”) today announced the launch of a new model of the Company’s smart rest station which integrates fully autonomous street sweeper, with advanced route learning capabilities, state-of-the-art collision avoidance technology and a powerful extended battery life. This represents the latest phase in the rollout of the Company’s smart rest station product solution. With pilot projects already underway, the Company expects this to be incrementally additive to revenue in 2023.

Mr. Lin Jianghuai, Chairman and CEO of Taoping, said, “We are really excited to launch the newest model of our smart rest station with fully autonomous, attractively designed, state-of-the-art street sweeper. This represents a significant new revenue stream for us, which is complementary and we believe will help drive sales. Customers and investors will now have a more complete picture of our longer-term strategy for our new smart rest station products and the extensive integration opportunities that exist to leverage our growing installed base to drive profitable revenue growth.”

Mr. Lin continued, “We have solved two of the biggest problems plaguing open and high use real estate spaces – availability of attractive, clean rest stations and a cost efficient way to keep open areas free of debris and garbage. These critical problems represent a major cost center and a never ending headache for property owners and operators. Customers don’t want to patronize dirty facilities and they will also avoid spending time in areas where liter is visible. This is why the most successful entertainment and vacation properties worldwide prioritize cleanliness – it leads to a better customer experience, higher satisfaction level and increased revenue. We are excited because we can now help customers to leverage our strong network to more quickly secure real estate and deploy our products, which seamlessly integrates both the smart rest station and the autonomous street sweeper into an even more powerful solution.”
