AITX’s wholly‑owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD) announced that it has secured an expansion order from a large construction client in Detroit, Michigan. The order includes six ROSA units, each paired with a SARA license, to be mounted along the fence line of the client’s active construction site. The client already operates a RAD RIO 360 unit, and the new ROSA units will provide perimeter monitoring, deter loitering and trespassing, and capture time‑lapse footage for project documentation.

The expansion order is a key operational milestone that adds a new revenue stream for RAD. Each ROSA unit is sold under a subscription model that includes a SARA license, creating a recurring monthly revenue stream that is higher‑margin than one‑time hardware sales. The deal also reinforces RAD’s strategy of expanding device‑rental activities, which has been a driver of the company’s recent gross‑profit‑margin growth from 58% to 67% in FY2025. By deepening its relationship with an existing client, RAD demonstrates strong customer confidence and the ability to scale its autonomous security platform in the construction sector.

Steve Reinharz, CEO and CTO of AITX and RAD, said, “Expansion orders from existing clients are a tangible vote of confidence I love to see. Nothing says that we’re doing our jobs well more than clients getting deeper into our ecosystem.” The quote underscores the company’s focus on customer retention and recurring revenue, which is central to its long‑term profitability strategy.

The order also signals broader market tailwinds for AI‑driven security solutions in high‑risk environments such as construction sites. By deploying ROSA units that combine real‑time monitoring with autonomous deterrence, RAD is positioned to capture a growing demand for cost‑effective, scalable security. The recurring SARA license model further strengthens the company’s financial outlook, as it provides predictable, higher‑margin income that can offset the capital intensity of hardware manufacturing. Overall, the expansion order supports AITX’s trajectory toward a more resilient, subscription‑based business model in a sector that values continuous security coverage.
