AITX and its subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD) completed a record single‑day deployment of 16 RIO Mini units at a major construction project in Detroit, Michigan, on December 8 2025. The order was received on October 17 2025, and the deployment was finished in less than eight weeks, demonstrating the company’s ability to scale production, logistics, and field installation rapidly.
The RIO Mini units are solar‑powered security towers that run the SARA agentic AI platform, providing autonomous monitoring and deterrence for large outdoor sites. The deployment underscores RAD’s growing traction in the construction sector, where theft and asset‑protection costs are high and traditional guard services are costly.
The record deployment aligns with AITX’s strategy of expanding recurring revenue through high‑margin device rentals. In Q3 FY2025, the company posted a 30% quarter‑over‑quarter increase in rental revenue and a 213% year‑over‑year rise in revenue for the nine months ended November 30 2024, reflecting strong demand for its autonomous security solutions.
CEO Steve Reinharz said the deployment “speaks to the maturity of our production, the precision of our deployments, and the commitment of every team member across design, engineering, production, administration, sales and operations.” The achievement demonstrates operational maturity and the ability to meet demand efficiently.
While the specific financial impact of this contract has not been disclosed, the deployment is part of a broader trend of construction sites adopting AI‑driven security, which can reduce costs by 35% to 80% compared with traditional guard services. The company’s recent SOC 2 Type 2 audit and transition to its Gen 4 platform further strengthen its market position.
The record single‑day deployment highlights RAD’s capability to scale production, logistics, and field installation rapidly, positioning the company as a key player in the $50 billion U.S. security and guarding services industry.
