ScanTech AI announces CustomsTrace AI platform development

ATLANTA - ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:STAI), a leader in non-intrusive CT screening technology with a market capitalization of $34.64 million, has announced the development of CustomsTrace AI™, a new AI-driven platform for goods identification and trade compliance. According to InvestingPro data, the company generated revenue of $0.52 million in the last twelve months, highlighting its early-stage development status. The platform, which is currently in its initial development phase, aims to address the growing need for accurate verification of tariff-sensitive goods and prevent the importation of unauthorized items across national borders.

The CustomsTrace AI™ platform is being designed to integrate with ScanTech AI’s existing fixed-gantry CT systems, which are used in various security-sensitive locations such as airports, borders, and government buildings. While the company maintains a gross profit margin of 14.19%, InvestingPro analysis reveals several challenges, including significant cash burn and substantial debt obligations.

The company’s Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Chris Green, stated that the new platform would leverage advanced CT imaging and machine learning algorithms to provide real-time, data-driven insights that improve the speed and accuracy of goods screening.

Former Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Ralph Basham, highlighted the platform’s potential as a vital tool for national security and tariff assessment. ScanTech AI’s engagement with its Board of Directors, which includes former senior leaders from regulatory agencies, and early customer stakeholders is intended to ensure the platform meets enforcement needs.

Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ScanTech AI, D. Williams Sr., expressed confidence that CustomsTrace AI™ would position the company to lead in a market with significant growth potential. The company believes that regardless of changes in global tariff policies, the demand for technology-driven verification solutions will persist.

ScanTech AI’s announcement underscores its commitment to anticipating enforcement needs and investing in AI innovation to deliver advanced solutions that contribute to global trade integrity and security. The company’s stock has experienced significant volatility, declining by 83.26% over the past six months, though InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis suggests the stock may be slightly undervalued at current levels.
