AITX, through its subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD), has secured a new contract to deploy ten RIO Mini solar‑powered autonomous security trailers at a large construction project in the Midwest. The RIO Mini units, equipped with RAD’s SARA agentic AI platform, will operate independently on the job site, providing continuous threat detection and response.
The deployment adds a high‑margin recurring revenue stream to AITX’s portfolio. Each unit is expected to generate a predictable monthly rental fee, reinforcing the company’s strategic shift from low‑margin direct sales to a device‑rental model that delivers steady cash flow.
The new contract follows a 16‑unit deployment that was completed on December 8 2025, demonstrating repeat adoption by construction clients. The repeat business signals growing confidence in RAD’s autonomous security solutions and suggests that the company is successfully scaling its technology in a key mid‑market vertical.
Troy McCanna, Chief Security Officer and Chief Revenue Officer at RAD, said the deployment reflects how construction clients are standardizing on autonomous security rather than treating it as a one‑off solution. He added that large job sites demand visibility, consistency, and rapid response across constantly changing conditions, and that deployments of this size show customers understand how autonomous systems can be integrated into real‑world operations at scale.
While the company has not disclosed the exact contract value, the addition of ten units is expected to contribute significantly to AITX’s recurring revenue growth. The move aligns with the company’s broader financial trajectory, which has seen revenue and gross‑profit growth in recent quarters, but it also comes against a backdrop of rising cash burn and a widening working‑capital deficit. The new deployment therefore represents both a revenue‑generating opportunity and a test of the company’s ability to manage operating costs while scaling.
The RIO Mini platform’s affordability and solar‑powered design make it an attractive option for construction sites that require mobile, low‑maintenance security solutions. By expanding its presence in the construction sector, AITX is positioning itself to capture a growing market that values autonomous monitoring to reduce labor costs and improve safety.
