AITX Subsidiary RAD Wins Order for Five Additional RIO 360 Autonomous Security Trailers from Leading Global Logistics Client

Driving Growth Through Expansion with Repeat Enterprise Customers

This latest order from AITX marks a key milestone in the company’s approach to strengthening ties with established enterprise customers. The logistics client, a RAD user since 2023, currently operates dozens of RAD devices throughout its network, demonstrating sustained trust in the autonomous security platform. The new purchase underscores how existing customers are scaling their deployments as their security demands and operational footprints grow.

RAD’s business development strategy focuses heavily on expansion orders within current accounts rather than solely pursuing new customers. By delivering solutions that encourage incremental purchases, RAD fosters predictable growth and enhances its recurring monthly revenue—a key indicator of ongoing value from deployed units.

RIO 360 Platform Tackles Complex Security Needs in Large-Scale Logistics

The RIO 360 autonomous solar-powered security trailer is engineered to meet the distinct security challenges faced by large logistics and distribution operations. These sites often cover hundreds of acres with numerous access points, heavy vehicle traffic, and dynamic operational activities. Traditional security methods—such as staffed patrols, vehicle coverage, and fixed surveillance—become increasingly costly and complicated as facility size and complexity escalate.

Autonomous security units like the RIO 360 provide expanded perimeter and interior coverage without proportional increases in staff, patrol vehicles, or legacy surveillance systems. They deliver real-time situational awareness and responsive incident management that help logistics operators maintain high security standards while optimizing operational efficiency. By automating routine monitoring and alerts, the platform enables human security personnel to concentrate on critical incident response and investigations.

Recurring Revenue and Deployment Schedule

The five additional RIO 360 units are expected to be deployed and start generating recurring monthly revenue during AITX’s second fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2026. This deployment timeline aligns with the current financial year and indicates that the rollout is underway. Recurring revenue from operational autonomous security devices is an increasingly significant component of AITX’s overall revenue model.

Expansion orders from existing customers typically involve shorter sales cycles and reduced acquisition costs compared to new account development. This enables RAD to convert orders into deployed assets and revenue streams more efficiently. The integration of five new units into an existing customer’s operation demonstrates RAD’s scalable business model and the customer’s confidence in the platform’s reliability and performance.

Long-Term Customer Partnership and Market Position

This multi-year customer relationship has evolved alongside the logistics operator’s growing security needs. The progression from initial deployment to operating dozens of RAD devices illustrates how autonomous security adoption follows a trajectory of validation and scaling as organizations realize tangible benefits and integrate the technology into their workflows. The customer’s expansion reflects the view of autonomous security as a core component of their long-term operational strategy rather than a temporary pilot.

Troy McCanna, RAD’s Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Security Officer, highlighted the company’s dedication to meeting evolving customer expectations. He emphasized that each successful deployment lays the groundwork for future business growth within the customer account. Enterprise clients with stringent operational and security standards demand solutions that deliver measurable value, cost savings, and operational dependability—qualities RAD prioritizes in its competitive positioning.

Diverse Enterprise Customer Base Across Industries

RAD serves clients across multiple sectors including enterprise, government, transportation, critical infrastructure, education, and healthcare. The global logistics sector is a key vertical within this diverse portfolio. The recent order from a longstanding logistics customer demonstrates RAD’s penetration in supply chain and distribution operations where security and efficiency directly impact business continuity and service quality.

RAD’s ability to secure expansion orders across various industries indicates that its autonomous security platform addresses common operational challenges beyond individual sectors. The company cites cost savings ranging from 35% to 80% compared to traditional manned security and monitoring, offering quantifiable benefits that justify expanded deployments within customer organizations regardless of industry.

AITX Corporate Framework and Technology Innovation

Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. operates through subsidiaries including Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD-I), Robotic Assistance Devices Mobile (RAD-M), Robotic Assistance Devices Group (RAD-G), and Robotic Assistance Devices Lanka (Private) Limited (RAD Lanka). This structure enables specialized capabilities across various security applications and global markets while maintaining unified technology development and operational oversight.

All RAD technologies, AI analytics, and software platforms are developed internally by AITX. Its proprietary SARA™ (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent) platform serves as the core AI system powering RAD’s autonomous security solutions. SARA processes video, audio, and sensor data to perform automated analysis and support operational actions under human supervision. This vertically integrated approach allows AITX to control technology evolution and customer experience while building defensible competitive advantages in the autonomous security space.

Industry Landscape and Market Potential

AITX positions RAD as a transformative player in the nearly $50 billion U.S. security and guarding services market. This industry has traditionally relied on labor-intensive models combining staffed personnel, patrol vehicles, and monitoring centers. Rising labor costs, staffing shortages, and the complexity of managing large distributed facilities drive demand for technology-enabled alternatives that deliver equal or better security at lower total cost.

Autonomous security solutions shift the industry from labor-heavy models to machine-driven monitoring, detection, and alerting. As enterprises adopt autonomous security across multiple sites and regions, expansion orders from existing customers reflect a maturing adoption cycle where proven deployments lead to scaling rather than ongoing evaluation.

Strategic Role of Expansion Orders in Growth Strategy

AITX explicitly identifies expansion orders from enterprise clients as a vital part of RAD’s growth plan. This focus recognizes that customer lifetime value increases significantly when initial deployments evolve into multi-unit, multi-site operations. Expansion orders typically have shorter decision timelines and lower deployment barriers since the customer has already validated RAD’s technology, service, and support.

By continuously securing expansion orders across diverse industries and geographies, AITX builds a strong track record of customer satisfaction and operational success. Each expansion order enhances marketing credibility within the customer’s vertical and validates RAD’s solutions for similar challenges in peer organizations. The logistics client’s order for five additional units provides immediate revenue and a strong reference for market development in logistics and distribution.

Leadership and Governance

AITX is led by Steve Reinharz, Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Technology Officer of the company and all RAD subsidiaries. Reinharz brings decades of security services industry experience, guiding strategic direction informed by deep operational knowledge of traditional security models and autonomous solution limitations. The broader leadership team includes experts in security, law enforcement, and robotics innovation, supporting development and deployment of scalable, practical solutions.

The Board of Directors oversees AI deployment across AITX operations, ensuring autonomous systems comply with governance frameworks and risk management protocols. This board-level oversight underscores the company’s commitment to responsible innovation and transparency in autonomous security.
