VANCOUVER, March 26, 2019 – Universal mCloud Corp. (TSX-V:MCLD) (OTCQB:MCLDF) (“mCloud” or the “Company”), a leading provider of asset management solutions combining IoT, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (“AI”), and analytics, today provided an update on the progress being made across all of its business segments, highlighting numerous advances in executing its business plan around the world:
Smart Buildings: First shopping center connected to AssetCare in expansion effort to over 1,000 malls across China
Within mCloud’s Smart Buildings segment, the Company announced that AssetCare connectivity has been established for the Heiwado Shopping Center in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. This marks a major milestone in the implementation of a 9-year shopping center contract originally announced on January 2019 with partner SCN Ltd. (“SCN”).
With mCloud’s AssetCare solution, the Company will begin continuous management of the store’s HVAC systems using AI and analytics – delivering ongoing energy savings, curbing the costly 41% of energy currently used by Heiwado at this mall for heating and cooling.
The Heiwado Shopping Center represents the first in an expansion effort with SCN to take AssetCare to over 1,000 shopping centers across Greater China, representing a portfolio of over 40,000 connectable assets.
Wind: mCloud moving forward with delivering AssetCare analytics for 2 wind projects this month
On the back of mCloud’s recently announced strategic collaboration with Britwind, an affiliate of UK’s Ecotricity, in March 2019, mCloud’s Wind team is applying AssetCare analytics to improve wind turbine availability and extend the health of wind turbines associated with two wind projects, one based in continental Europe and another based in China.
In addition to the over 1,000 Endurance E-series wind turbines positioned for upgrades between mCloud and Britwind, these projects represent additional opportunities for mCloud to access a further 90,000 wind turbines as connected assets.
Oil and Gas: mCloud and Fulcrum Automation Technologies plan initial roll-out targeting 200 assets across North America and the Middle East
Related to the Company’s February 2019 announcement of a US$15M global service agreement with Fulcrum Automation Technologies (“Fulcrum”), mCloud and Fulcrum are jointly working on a plan to target at least 200 oil and gas assets as part of a greater strategy to access thousands of field assets in North America and the Middle East.
Using the Company’s AssetCare platform, mCloud and Fulcrum will apply AI and analytics to a variety of maintenance and inspection applications that support these assets, from monitoring fugitive emissions to assisting field workers in field repair and overhaul activities.
“Getting AssetCare connected to a multitude of assets across all segments of our business is a remarkable start to 2019,” said Russ McMeekin, mCloud’s President and CEO. “We look forward to making even more progress over the course of this year as we incorporate more into AssetCare.”
As announced on March 28, 2019, mCloud will hold an earnings call to discuss 2018 performance and provide forward-looking insight on April 24, 2019. Conference details will be provided at a later date.
