This new client, a stalwart of the automotive industry with a legacy spanning more than 100 years, selected RAD solutions to address longstanding challenges associated with traditional guarding methods, namely high costs and inconsistent performance at guard gates and perimeter assignments. RAD's innovative, AI-driven security technologies offer an ideal solution for mitigating incidents of trespassing, theft, and vandalism.
A key factor in the client's selection of AVA was its powerful License Plate Recognition (LPR) capability, which enables seamless issuance and response to Be on the Lookout (BOLO) alerts, providing a critical layer of proactive perimeter defense.
"This was a long road, but entirely worth the effort," said Troy McCanna, Senior Vice President of Sales at RAD. "It's not uncommon for enterprise clients of this scale to require extended evaluation and procurement cycles. In this case, it took nearly two years from initial conversations to close, but it's a fantastic example of the persistence and patience sometimes required to win major accounts."
RAD anticipates considerable opportunities for further expansion within the client's global operations. Planned discussions include broader deployment of AVA units, integration of ROSA units at key access points, implementation of the RAD Light My Way safety and escort platform, and multiple ROAMEO autonomous security robot deployments across several flagship facilities.
"RAD's reputation in the automotive industry is growing rapidly," said Mark Folmer, CPP, FSyI, President of RAD. "We're hearing from more and more corporate security leaders who have seen the results our devices deliver. Word is traveling fast across security networks within the automotive sector, and it is opening new doors."
