JACKSONVILLE, FL--(Marketwired - April 09, 2018) - Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Duos") (OTCQB: DUOT), a provider of intelligent security analytical technology solutions, announced today that it has been awarded a contract through its subsidiary, Duos Technologies, Inc by one of the nation's largest retail chains to streamline gatehouse operations across the corporation's national distribution centers. The contract is valued at approximately $2.8M.

The automated system is based on proprietary intelligent technology developed by Duos for the Company's successful inspection portal core technology, which has been adapted to truck and intermodal container traffic entering and exiting distribution centers. The innovative design automates gatehouse logistics and creates comprehensive transactional documentation-reducing human error, improving efficiency, and significantly increasing throughput of in- and outbound vehicle traffic to and from the distribution centers.

"Our partnership with a leading retail corporation on this automation program demonstrates the trend toward streamlining logistics through intelligent systems," stated Noel Heiks, President and COO for Duos Technologies, Inc. "We are excited to deliver significant operational efficiencies for a rapid return on investment for our customers."

The system also integrates and correlates data with consolidation to a single central location, with an architecture that combines Duos' proprietary praesidium ™ analytics suite with the Company's centraco ™ interface platform.

Through this project Duos expands its application space from systems successfully deployed in other transportation verticals such as the rail industry-leveraging its powerful foundation of intelligent technologies.

"With this program, our investments in R&D and intellectual property bear fruit for an entirely new industry sector," stated Gianni Arcaini, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "We expect more to come from the development of this application space, with a significant positive impact on our future revenue and vision," Arcaini said.
