First orders received for Elop Insight and Insight Crawler

ultrasound scanner, and a pre order for the robotic solution "Insight Crawler"
during the third quarter. The first Elop Insights units have been delivered in
the fourth quarter. The first orders have come from giant infrastructure markets
such as USA and Japan.

"I am very excited that our first Elop Insight units are now out in field with
our clients. Our first customers will be important product ambassadors. We are
experiencing increasing interest for our products as we now mature Elop
Technology gradually from the field testing phase to the commercialization
phase." says Øivind Horpestad, CEO and chairman of Elop.

Commercialization of Elop Insight progressing
Multiple field tests of Elop Insight have been completed with industrial
partners during Q3 2021 to verify that the ultrasound technology can deliver on
infrastructure owners' requirements  in order to meet safety and environmental
regulations, reduce infrastructure lifecycle cost as well as ensure optimised
operations. The field tests are an important part of the ongoing work to create
awareness and demonstrate the use of Elop's patented technology.

Elop Technology has during the quarter successfully recruited an experienced top
management team to develop its global sale and business development
capabilities. This will be an important enabler for the successful
commercialization of the technology. 

"We are experiencing increased focus on infrastructure and interest for how our
unique technology can help extend the lifetime, reduce risk, reduce cost and the
environmental impact. We are optimistic about the future. Partner discussions
are on-going covering 12 countries in Europe and Southeast Asia, and we have
multiple discussions ongoing with potential new clients and customers" says
Øivind Horpestad.
 
Development of Insight Crawler according to plan 
The partnership with DEKRA Visatec and ICM and the development of our ultrasound
robot "Insight Crawler" is progressing according to plan. Successful tests of
the prototype have been conducted.

"We are pleased that the development of the Insight Crawler is progressing well.
We have some very exciting weeks and months ahead of us with continued testin.
We target to launch the Insight Crawler at the end of Q1 2022," says Øivind
Horpestad.
