SIMPPLE
Ltd. Announces $1.0 Million Sale of Multi-functional Robots
in
Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand
SINGAPORE,
October 16, 2024 – SIMPPLE Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPPL) (“SIMPPLE” or “the Company”), a leading technology
provider and innovator in the facilities management sector, today announced the initial sale, for an aggregate of about $1.0 million,
of the Company’s proprietary 3-in-1 multifunctional robots and modular robot heads across Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Brand-named
Gemini, the A.I. video-analytic robots are the first to perform security, digital concierge, and cleaning services in a facilities
management setting. These modular robot heads can be retrofitted on traditional cleaning robots, thus converting them to 3-in-1 units
with the same A.I. video-analytic capabilities.
In
Singapore, Gemini robots have been deployed at retail malls, commercial office buildings, and healthcare institutions. In Malaysia
and Thailand, SIMPPLE’s Gemini heads have been retrofitted to existing cleaning robots and utilized at commercial office
buildings.
According
to SIMPPLE chief executive officer Norman Schroeder, Gemini is a “game-changer” in the field of service robotics.
The robot can swiftly, accurately, and intelligently conduct security patrols, engage with lost or distressed personnels seeking security
assistance, engage in two-way video calls, interface remotely with facility managers, and perform a wide variety of routine cleaning
tasks including scrubbing or vacuuming.
“Gemini
can operate independently or in concert with existing CCTV camera systems,” he added, allowing those systems to identify situations
needing resolution and task Gemini to resolve them. In so doing, Gemini provides “significant savings and convenience”
to facility management companies and integrated services operators, said the CEO.
“The
deployment of Gemini across Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand,” he said, “further validates the commercial viability
of our end-to-end facilities management solution including integrated robotics and artificial intelligence.”
Additional
Gemini sales to customers in Australia, New Zealand, and other markets are expected “in the coming months,” said Mr.
Schroeder.
The
development of Gemini was supported by three Singapore government agencies, one of which, in 2019 and 2022, awarded SIMPPLE grants
totalling about $380,000 to develop multi-functional robots. In 2024, Gemini was then included in the Advanced Digital Solutions
(ADS) grant scheme supported by Singapore’s InfoComm Media Development Authority (IMDA), thus facilitating SIMPPLE’s aggregate
$1.0 million Gemini sale described above.
According
to a May 2024 report by Technavio, the global service robotics market is projected to grow by a CAGR of 30.25%, or $90.4 billion,
from 2024 to 2028. This rapid growth, said Technavio, will be driven by the continuing integration of advanced technologies such as IoT,
A.I., and natural language processing into service robots, and by world governments pouring significant investment into these technologies.
Technological advancements in machine learning, adaptive computing, and vision systems will also make service robots increasingly suitable
for commercial tasks, said the report.
