RAD expands data center security footprint to 30 units at single site

DETROIT—Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions (AITX), along with its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices Inc. (RAD), has secured an order for 10 additional RIO Mini autonomous solar-powered security towers from an existing Midwest-based construction client.

The units will soon be deployed at a large-scale data center development site, bringing the client’s total planned deployment at this single location to 30 RIO Mini units, each operating with SARA (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent).

The expansion comes as data center development accelerates across North America, with hundreds of new facilities currently under construction or in advanced planning to support growing demand for cloud computing and AI infrastructure. These large-scale projects often span extensive footprints and multi-year timelines, creating prolonged periods where valuable materials, equipment, and critical infrastructure are exposed before permanent security systems are in place.

This environment is driving increased adoption of rapidly deployable, autonomous security solutions capable of providing continuous coverage and intelligent response throughout the construction phase.

Upon deployment of these additional 10 units, the 30-unit RIO Mini footprint at this location is expected to earn the company more than $500,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR), reinforcing the company’s expanding base of contracted revenue and continued progress toward achieving positive operating cash flow. The customer’s growth from an initial deployment to a 30-unit footprint at a single site reflects a repeatable expansion pattern as large scale construction projects advance and security requirements increase.

“Large-scale data center developments represent some of the most critical infrastructure projects underway today,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD. “These sites demand continuous awareness and response from the earliest stages of construction through full operation. What we are seeing is a clear shift toward autonomous security as a practical and scalable solution during this phase. Expanding to 30 RIO Mini units at a single location reflects both the customer’s confidence in our technology and the growing role that SARA is playing in securing complex, high-value environments.”

RAD anticipates further expansion with this client as the data center development progresses, with additional deployments aligned to evolving site requirements. The company continues to see similar opportunities across large-scale construction projects where security needs increase in step with project complexity and asset concentration.
