Visionstate and NEDlabs Join Forces to Revolutionize People Counting with Time-of-Flight Sensors
EDMONTON, Alberta - July 6, 2023 - Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) Visionstate IoT Inc., a pioneer in IoT (Internet of Things) technology for facility management, and NEDlabs (NEDlabs.ca), a leading provider of industrial IoT and builder of smart home solutions, are proud to announce their collaboration on a cutting-edge project that will change the way people counting is performed. The project involves the integration of NEDsense Time-of-Flight (“ToF”) sensors, developed by NEDlabs, into Visionstate’s WANDA™ platform which tracks cleaning and maintenance activities in public and private facilities.
People counting is a critical aspect of many industries, including retail, hospitality, and events management, as it helps businesses to understand foot traffic and make data-driven decisions. The current methods of people counting, such as infrared sensors and video cameras, can be expensive, unreliable, and provide inaccurate results. With the integration of NEDsense ToF sensors, Visionstate is aiming to provide a more accurate solution that will help businesses make more informed decisions.
"We're thrilled to be collaborating with NEDlabs on this exciting project," said Shannon Moore, President of Visionstate IoT Inc. "By integrating time of flight sensors into our platform, we can provide our customers with a more accurate and reliable solution for people counting. This will have a significant impact on the way businesses operate and make data-driven decisions."
The ToF sensors use advanced technology to measure the time it takes for a light signal to travel from the sensor to the target and back, providing a highly-accurate measurement of distance. This technology has been proven to provide accurate results even in challenging environments, such as crowded spaces or areas with high levels of ambient light.
"We're moving quickly with NEDlabs on this project," said Moore. "The NEDsense Time-of-Flight sensors are at the forefront of sensor technology, and we're confident that their integration into our platform will provide a game-changing solution for people counting."
Visionstate is investing further into connected sensors which will expand the Company’s customer base while offering a larger suite of products.

Visionstate Corp. Announces Unit Private Placement for US Expansion and AI Development
EDMONTON, Alberta - June 8, 2023 - Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”), a leading provider of IoT (Internet of Thing) facility-management technology, is pleased to announce, subject to regulatory approval, a private placement to raise $500,000 by the issuance of 25,000,000 units at $0.02 per unit, with each unit consisting of one common share and one full warrant exercisable at $0.05 for two years.
The Company also disclosed its intention to utilize the proceeds to enhance its exposure and business in the United States. In conjunction with the US business expansion, Visionstate seeks to pursue a quotation on the OTCQB market in the US.
The funds raised from the private placement will be allocated towards the development and rollout of ViCCi 2.0, an artificial intelligence application designed to enhance customer service and for general operating capital. Additionally, the proceeds will support sales and marketing initiatives aimed at expanding the reach of Visionstate's proprietary Wanda™ technology to global markets. A portion of the proceeds will also be designated for general operating capital.
ViCCi 2.0 represents an innovative tool that leverages artificial intelligence to provide businesses with real-time insights into customer behavior, preferences, and feedback. Through ViCCi 2.0, businesses can optimize their customer service, sales, and marketing efforts, leading to improved customer engagement, loyalty, and revenue. Visionstate has partnered with AI startup Fluidio.ai to pursue opportunities related to ViCCi 2.0.
"We are excited to announce this new private placement and the launch of ViCCi 2.0," said John Putters, CEO of Visionstate Corp. "This financing will significantly expedite the rollout of ViCCi 2.0 and expand Wanda's presence beyond Canada. Moreover, it will provide us with the necessary working capital to support our ongoing operations."
Visionstate's Wanda™ IoT platform has been successfully deployed in various public spaces, including hospitals, airports, and shopping malls across Canada.
The securities issued in the private placement will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
In conjunction with the Offering, Visionstate will utilize the existing security holders' exemption and other available prospectus exemptions.

Shareholders residing outside of Canada must comply with local jurisdiction requirements to participate. In the event that subscriptions received pursuant to the existing security holders' exemption cause the Offering to exceed $500,000, Visionstate will accept such subscriptions on a first come, first served basis.

Visionstate Portfolio Company Exceed Solar Announces Name Change to Sol Spaces, Focuses on High-Tech Greenhouses and Sustainable Living Spaces
EDMONTON, Alberta - March 16, 2023 - Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its portfolio company Exceed Solar Inc. is changing its name to Sol Spaces Inc., effective immediately. The rebranding reflects the company's shift towards high-tech greenhouses and sustainable living spaces that integrate cutting-edge solar and Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
Sol Spaces Inc. (Sol Spaces) is committed to helping individuals and businesses reduce their carbon footprint while still living comfortably. By combining the latest advancements in solar energy and IoT technology with innovative designs and sustainable materials, Sol Spaces creates modern living and growing spaces that are environmentally friendly and energy-efficient.
"Exceed Solar has always been dedicated to creating sustainable solutions, and we're excited to continue that mission under our new name, Sol Spaces," said company President Elliott Putters. "We believe that technology has the power to make a positive impact on the environment, and we're committed to using it to build a better, more sustainable future."
Sol Spaces' high-tech greenhouses offer a unique approach to sustainable agriculture, utilizing advanced automation and IoT technology to optimize plant growth and increase yields. With the ability to extend the growing season, Sol Spaces' greenhouses can help reduce food waste, increase food security, and promote local agriculture.
"The creation of garden suites and secondary suites is a great way to help increase the supply of affordable housing in our city while preserving the character of our established neighbourhoods,” said Naheed Nenshi, former Mayor of Calgary, Alberta.
Due to the increasing cost of homes and the relative shortage of affordable homes in the major Canadian markets, laneway homes or garden suites are becoming a more viable option.
As Sol Spaces, the company is committed to continuing its legacy of sustainable solutions while exploring new frontiers in green technology. Its new name reflects the dedication to creating innovative spaces that are not only sustainable but also offer a high standard of living.
Currently, Sol Spaces is developing a community-based food network in Edmonton, Alberta to help ease the burden of rising food costs. The $40,000 project is also designed to build more resilient communities with the capacity to grow food locally.
The first installation will be at the Alberta Avenue Community League, which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. The 240-square-foot Sol Greenhouse is powered by 1.2 kw/h of solar energy and features a heat/cooling pump that helps maintain constant temperatures. The greenhouse also features IoT technology with sensors that measure environmental conditions and growing performance. Sol Spaces would like to thank Bunzl Canada for their generous donation to this community-based project.
In addition to greenhouses, Sol Spaces is also focused on creating sustainable living spaces that are both functional and beautiful. Their innovative designs use energy-efficient materials and integrate cutting-edge solar technology, resulting in homes and commercial spaces that are both stylish and sustainable.
Visionstate Corp. owns 40% of Sol Spaces through debenture financing in 2018 and 2021.

Visionstate Announces Rollout of AI for its WANDA™ Application
EDMONTON, Alberta - February 8, 2023 - Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) Visionstate IoT Inc., wholly-owned subsidiary of Visionstate, a leading provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for the facility management sector, is proud to announce the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into its WANDA™ application. With its AI partner, Fluido.ai, Visionstate is taking the next step in its journey to provide customers with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions.
The WANDA™ application, which provides real-time monitoring and tracking of cleaning and maintenance activities, will now include AI “chatbot” capabilities that will enhance its functionality and provide users with a more efficient and effective experience. The AI algorithms developed by Fluido.ai will allow WANDA™ to analyze large amounts of data and make automated decisions, providing users with real-time insights and predictions that were previously unavailable.
For those who are not familiar with AI technology and why integrating it with the WANDA™ application is so exciting, here is a practical example:
User: (using keystrokes or voice command) - "WANDA™ (the AI), tell me how many times in the last month a cleaning was missed?"
WANDA™ (AI): (answer will be received by User in 10 seconds or less) - "In the month of January two cleanings were missed in the men's and women's restrooms on the first floor of the West Wing. Overall, the staff was 98% compliant with the cleaning protocols."
“The chatbot can interact with customers on the website, the phone, Meta Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.; the business operator only needs to glance at one dashboard to see the total picture regarding its customer interactions through various channels,” said Wessam Gad El-Rab, Chief AI Officer and co-founder of Fluido.ai.
"We are thrilled to be working with Fluido.ai and incorporating their AI expertise into our WANDA™ application," said Visionstate IoT Inc. President, Shannon Moore. "This collaboration allows us to bring the latest technology to our customers, providing them with "state-of-the-art” analytics and data in real-time."
With the integration of AI, Visionstate is positioning itself as a leader in the IoT space and is committed to providing customers with innovative and effective solutions. The Company is dedicated to providing its customers with the best possible experience, and the incorporation of AI will help it to achieve this goal.

“Visionstate has demonstrated the value of its software in tracking and monitoring cleaning activities, essential for disease prevention,” explained Shannon Moore, President of Visionstate IoT Inc. “With demand for our software increasing, the Company believes this is the right time to adjust our license fees to meet the demand for our product.”
Currently, WANDA™ is installed in diverse industry verticals across Canada, the US and more recently, Europe. The Company’s mobile app is easy to install, quick to deploy, and provides advanced analytics for facility managers to ensure cleaning protocols are being met. The focus on effective cleaning has dramatically increased because of COVID 19 and its many variants that continue to challenge healthcare practitioners globally.
“WANDA™ is an essential part of the new cleaning protocols that have been introduced over the past two years,” explained Moore. “Archaic paper-based methods of tracking this information are no longer effective and are being replaced by applications that can provide the analytics and reporting required to ensure a clean and safe facility.”
Along with license fee adjustments, the Company is also focused on expansion into new markets outside of Canada. Visionstate already has a foothold in the US market through a large reference client but will be focused on expanding the Company’s presence in key geographical locations. In 2022, Visionstate secured a foothold in Europe as well, with installations in a hospital network in Belgium, providing a reference customer for expansion throughout Europe as well.
Meanwhile, the Company continues to build new functionality into its WANDA™ software to further expand the potential applications for the software. The new features include upgraded analytics dashboards, easier set ups and scalability to accommodate large facilities such as universities, stadiums and school divisions.
“With the added functionality we can further expand our market penetration,” said Moore. “We are exploring other verticals such as home health care to further scale the technology to track patient care.”
The Company is holding a virtual information session on Thursday, January 12, 2023 at 2 pm MST (4 pm EST) hosted by Visionstate President Shannon Moore. Please join us for this presentation which will be followed by questions and answers. The meeting link is as follows:

Visionstate Announces New WANDA™ Deployments as Flu Viruses Persist
EDMONTON, Alberta - December 14, 2022 - Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) ("Visionstate" or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce its wholly owned subsidiary Visionstate IoT Inc. has successfully deployed its proprietary WANDA™ technology to two new locations amid rising cases of the flu virus across Canada.
The two new locations include senior’s facilities in Calgary, Alberta and a Class “A” office tower in downtown Vancouver, BC. Visionstate IoT is also gearing up for its first installation in the hospitality sector, planned for January 2023, in a high-end hotel located in the heart of Banff, Alberta.
The installations of WANDA™ come as health care in Canada comes under increasing pressure from particularly virulent strains of the flu virus, and the continued persistence of COVID. Visionstate IoT’s proprietary WANDA™ technology is the first line of defence in reducing the incidents of disease spread by providing technology designed to track and monitor front line cleaning practices in public facilities.
“The continued demand for WANDA™ is a result of a general transformation in the facility management sector toward new technology that can effectively track and monitor cleaning practices in any environment,” explained Visionstate IoT President Shannon Moore. “The antiquated paper-based method of tracking these activities no longer measure up when considering the threat posed by viral outbreaks.”
Health care officials across Canada and North America have expressed concern about the threat caused by the transmission of disease during this year’s flu season. In many cases, hospitals are already at capacity and schools are witnessing unprecedented absences due to the virulent nature of the flu.
“WANDA™ is an easily deployed and affordable mobile app that brings accountability to a new level,” said Moore. “With compliance reporting and detailed analytics, facility managers can have confidence their staff is meeting or exceeding new cleaning protocols that have been introduced since the first outbreak of COVID-19.”
Currently WANDA™ is installed in hospitals, airports, senior’s care facilities, recreational centres, shopping centres, municipalities and Class “A” office towers across Canada and the US. The WandaMOBILE app can track cleaning and maintenance in multiple zones and areas inside and outside of buildings and provides detailed analytics on performance.
Visionstate’s WANDA™ is marketed globally and generates revenue through a software-as-a-service model. Each new client builds recurring revenues where the margin is approximately 90%.
