ZHUHAI, China, March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Powerbridge Technologies Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: PBTS) ("Powerbridge" or the "Company"), a provider of multi-industry technology solutions, announced that Powerbridge Smart Monitoring Platform ("Powerbridge SMP") was selected by Zhuhai City Science and Technology Innovation Bureau to be the prime choice of procurement for Border Trade Zones, Trade Ports, Free Trade Zones, International Express Courier Centers, and Bonded Warehouses.
The concepts of "Smart Customs, Smart Connectivity and "Embedded Supervision" were proposed by the Chinese Customs to solve the issues of customs management, disconnected information, inefficient operations, and insufficient business coordination. Powerbridge SMP incorporates the most updated technologies including Beidou Navigation System, AR, IoT and AI, which enables smart monitoring and control, embedded management and automatic clearance of goods at a variety of cross-country borders where highly regulated trading and operations take place. Since deployed at several ports in Guangxi Province, Powerbridge SMP has generated more than 2.4 million US dollars in revenue.
The deployment of Powerbridge SMP has brought significant results for the Company's customers. The recorded duration of vehicle clearance has been reduced by 37% and the volume of imported goods from border areas has increased by 46.7%. Meanwhile, the efficiency of customs inspection has improved by 40% while the labor requirement has reduced by 50%. As such, Powerbridge SMP has gained competitive advantages in the market and generated strong interest in the industry. The Powerbridge SMP is expected to bring additional revenue of more than 15 million US dollars within the next two to three years.
Stewart Lor, President of Powerbridge commented "Powerbridge has always been committed to providing platform applications and digital services covering smart ports, smart customs and digital cross-border trade for government agencies and enterprise customers. We have been offering our customers complete solutions, proposing a more efficient way of intelligent surveillance and operations and seamless inspection as well.
