AITX's RAD Announces New ROAMEO Gen 4 Order from National Retail Operator
Momentum in Mobile Security Solutions for Retail Parking Lots Continues Detroit, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - April 29, 2025) - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (OTC Pink: AITX) (the Company), through its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced that a national retail operator has placed an order for a ROAMEO ™ Gen 4 autonomous security robot vehicle. The mobile device will be deployed to enhance parking lot security during all hours while providing services ranging from customer assistance and direction to being a highly visible deterrent with the intelligence to escort people off property. Facilitated through an authorized RAD dealer, this order represents another milestone in the growing adoption of ROAMEO Gen 4 across commercial and retail environments. [ This image cannot be displayed. Please visit the source: ] Artist's depiction of a RAD ROAMEO Gen 4 on a night patrol ina large retail parking lot. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: ROAMEO Gen 4 redefines outdoor security by delivering capabilities that far exceed traditional human patrols. Designed to autonomously monitor and respond across large areas like parking lots and campuses, ROAMEO provides a constant, visible presence without the fatigue, gaps, or high costs associated with security guards. Powered by AI-driven detection and real-time communication tools, ROAMEO actively engages to deter unwanted activity, reports incidents instantly, and helps organizations modernize security operations while dramatically lowering labor expenses. 'This marks the second announced ROAMEO Gen 4 order in just two days, and it is a clear indicator of the momentum we are building,' said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO of AITX and RAD. 'Organizations are recognizing that autonomous, AI-driven security is no longer a future concept. It is available today, delivering real-world results and measurable savings. We are thrilled to see ROAMEO gaining traction so quickly across multiple sectors.' Parking lots have long been a magnet for criminal activity, particularly after business hours. Bureau of Justice Statistics data shows that nearly 42% of nonfatal violent crimes between 1998 and 2002 occurred in public places like parking lots and garages, with further reports indicating that about 3% of violent victimizations by strangers from 2005 to 2010 took place in these areas i. Despite widespread awareness of these risks, parking lots often remain inadequately protected, creating a clear opportunity for solutions that deliver continuous surveillance, proactive deterrence, and real-time response, specifically what ROAMEO Gen 4 was designed to provide. 'This opportunity began with a strong connection made at the last few ISC West shows,' said Troy McCanna, Chief Security Officer at RAD. 'It reinforces how important it is for clients and partners to experience our technology firsthand. When they see ROAMEO in action, the value becomes obvious. We are excited to support this dealer and client as they bring new levels of security and visibility to their properties.' Deployment of the national retailer's ROAMEO Gen 4 unit is expected this summer. RAD anticipates that success with this client will open the door to additional opportunities across the retail sector, where the need for intelligent, cost-effective parking lot security solutions continues to grow. AITX, through its subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), is redefining the nearly $50 billion (US) security and guarding services industry ii through its broad lineup of innovative, AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service business model. RAD solutions are specifically designed to provide cost savings to businesses of between 35%-80% when compared to the industry's existing and costly manned security guarding and monitoring model.
