i & ii These non-IFRS financial measures are identified, defined and reconciled to their closest IFRS measures, revenue and unearned revenue, within our Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the periods ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, in the section “Other Financial Measures.” That MD&A is available at www.sedar.com under our company profile.
[Blog] What’s a micro-stop, and how is it important to you?
MERLIN Tempus provide this level of comprehensive flexibility right out of the box. The ability of a system to infer a state based on occurring states and standards removes a level of operator dependence. The antiquated operator-centric data collection approach is inherently inaccurate because events are recorded after the fact and are usually very subjective. Realtime operator classifications of machine impacting states are faster, simpler, controlled and accurate because the machine initiates the state change based on an autonomous event and applied logic.
