Production Doubled for AITX’s Subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices’ RIO™ Solar-Powered ROSA™ Towers

Published

RAD Books an Additional 10 RIO 360 Systems via Expansion Order from Automotive Manufacturer

Detroit, Michigan, Aug. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced that it has doubled the current production run of its popular RIO solar-powered security towers. The increased production capacity is a direct result of the continued increase in orders and continuing momentum growth in the marketplace.

The Company also noted that RAD has received an order for 10 RIO 360 systems from a large automotive manufacturer as part of their nationwide expansion. This corporate end-user had previously ordered 2 RIO systems and is now considering further expansion to 40 units. This order has been facilitated by one of RAD’s largest authorized dealers.

In a press release dated July 11, 2023, RAD set the third production run of RIO at 100 units. The first production run was 10 units and the second run was 25 units. RAD now announces that the 100 unit production run has been increased to 200 units. Monthly production is expected to be 25 RIOs in September and 50 RIOs per month beginning in October. The Company will increase or decrease this number as needed. The Company’s Detroit factory, affectionately referred to as the RAD Excellence Center (or ‘REX’) can produce up to 100 RIO units per month without impacting AVA and ROSA production. The Company is staffing additional assembly personnel to perform the additional building.

“It was just last month when we kicked off production of 100 RIOs, it’s fantastic to now double that in support the sales pipeline, and get these units out to the clients,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX and RAD. “We’ll share more detail on this in the coming months but there have been 2 direct comparisons of RIO versus the volume market leader and in both cases RIO won handily. We appear on track to take a significant leadership role in this market niche in the coming years.”

RIO 360 is a versatile security tower configured with dual ROSA devices. RIO 360 offers the marketplace two valuable benefits. The first is the unmatched performance of the dual ROSA devices that sit atop the unit’s mast. There is no device in the market that can perform ROSAs extensive list of autonomous actions. ROSA is RAD’s best-selling and a multiple award-winning device. The second critical differentiator is RIO’s value pricing. RIO’s pricing competes favorably against the leading solar tower manufacturers. RIO 180 utilizes much of the same hardware and software platform as RIO 360, but ships with a single ROSA device and fewer solar panels.

Reinharz added, “RIO is our highest revenue generating, stationary solution right now. The recurring monthly revenue produced by these 200 units will help the Company take a significant step closer to attaining positive cash flow.”

Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR) is money earned from customers who pay for a subscription to a service or product. RAD’s solutions are generally offered as a recurring monthly subscription, typically with a minimum 12-month subscription contract.

As stated, sitting atop a standard RIO 360 configuration are dual ROSA units. ROSA is a multiple award-winning, compact, self-contained, portable, security and communication solution that can be installed and activated in about 15 minutes. ROSA’s AI-driven security analytics include human, firearm, vehicle detection, license plate recognition, responsive digital signage and audio messaging, and complete integration with RAD’s software suite notification and autonomous response library. Two-way communication is optimized for cellular, including live video from ROSA’s high-resolution, full-color, always-on cameras. RAD has published three Case Studies detailing how ROSA has helped eliminate instances of theft, trespassing and loitering at car rental locations and construction sites across the country.

AITX, through its subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), is redefining the $25 billion (US) security and guarding services industry 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.

huawei-cloud:-thrive-with-the-cloud-and-reshape-industries-with-ai

SHANGHAI, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At HUAWEI CONNECT 2024, Executive Director of the Board of Huawei and CEO of Huawei Cloud Zhang Ping’an delivered a keynote speech “Thrive with the Cloud: Reshaping Industries with AI”. Zhang states that enterprises must seize opportunities in the intelligent era and use AI to build competitive advantages. The key is to adopt an AI-native mindset now.

First, enterprises should actively embrace AI, open up industry scenarios, and develop enterprise AI platforms. This will enable AI to serve their core business. Today, Huawei Cloud Pangu Models have been applied in more than 30 industries and 400 scenarios.
Second, AI computing power is critical. Enterprises need to build AI-native cloud infrastructure that matches their requirements. Zhang officially released CloudMatrix to interconnect and pool all resources including CPUs, NPUs, DPUs and memory. It marks an evolution from monolithic to matrix compute. CloudMatrix comprises an AI-native cloud infrastructure in which everything can be pooled, peer-to-peer, and composed, providing enterprises with abundant AI computing power.
Third, data quality determines the effectiveness of AI models. We need to build knowledge-centric data foundations to enable data to serve AI better. Huawei Cloud has fully upgraded DataArts to provide customers with AI-oriented and knowledge-centric data foundations. The updated features include AI+data convergence engines, data development and governance, knowledge services, and AI+data application enablement services.
Fourth, build suitable AI models based on business applications. We must abandon the misconception that larger models are better. It is not feasible to address all needs with just one foundation model. Pangu Models 5.0 are available in different sizes, with parameters in the billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions, and trillions. The complete series of Pangu models meet practically all business application needs.
In addition, Huawei Cloud’s Pangu 5.0 models enhance spatiotemporal controllable generation (STCG) in the field of multimodal generation. For autonomous driving,the Pangu model can generate driving scenarios that accurately mirror the physical world. It can generate videos that reflect normal driving scenarios, random road conditions and accidental and aggressive driving, allowing automotive enterprises to train autonomous driving more efficiently.
Huawei Cloud officially released the Mainframe-to-Cloud Solution, designed to help customers develop new core systems on the cloud with high availability, easy O&M, and better agility, helping customers achieve 99.999% financial-grade high availability. Currently, most banks in China have chosen Huawei to build their new core systems on the cloud.
Tao Jingwen, Huawei’s Director of the Board and President of the Quality, Business Process & IT Mgmt Dept, recounted Huawei’s digital transformation journey. Huawei has developed a methodology, which can be broken down into three layers, five phases, and eight steps. The three layers are redefining intelligent business, AI model development and delivery, and ongoing optimization of intelligent applications. The five phases are identifying suitable scenarios, reshaping processes, transforming organizations, optimizing corporate data, and adopting AI applications.
Bruno Zhang, CTO of Huawei Cloud, presented insights on how Huawei Cloud is leveraging AI to reshape data centers, infrastructure, and cloud services. He also addressed the construction of an AI-native cloud designed to accelerate intelligence in industries. The “1+N” Pangu assistant system, unveiled by Mr. Zhang, signifies a new era in cloud service interaction. The system includes Pangu Doer, and the myriad use cases in product R&D, data analytics, security, and office collaboration, where Pangu models are trained using the scenario-specific data, know-how, and practices to enhance cloud services and boost efficiency with tailored AI.
