• Major Milestone Approaching for Once Small Disruptor, Now Mainstream in the Security Industry

Detroit, Michigan, Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), a wholly owned subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, is pleased to announce that the is approaching the significant milestone of 1,000 security devices deployed, including devices in the contracted backlog, pending delivery and acceptance. This achievement not only marks the Company’s rapid expansion but also signals RAD’s growing presence as a mainstream solution provider in the security industry.

With nearly 1,000 units now in the field or awaiting installation, RAD has significantly increased its positioning as a fast-growing player and recognized leader in the evolving landscape of AI-powered security technologies. This milestone reflects the market’s increasing demand for RAD’s autonomous security solutions, which offer clients effective, reliable alternatives to traditional security measures at a fraction of the cost of traditional security guards.

“This milestone is particularly significant, as it validates that RAD is on the right path from a once small disruptor to a recognized leader in the security space,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO of AITX and RAD. “The industry’s adoption of RAD’s technology demonstrates the urgency for smarter, more efficient security solutions in today’s environment, and we are proud to be delivering on that need.”

As RAD approaches the 1,000-unit mark, the Company anticipates accelerated growth in the coming years. The demand for RAD’s solutions, driven by rising interest in cost-effective, autonomous technologies, continues to be driven by an expanding base of authorized dealers and other channel partners. The Company plans to expand internal sales team to further support increased demand.

In particular, RAD's ROSA^™ and RIO^™ units have seen strong market traction, offering clients a blend of advanced AI-driven monitoring, real-time threat detection, and autonomous intelligent response capabilities. These devices help organizations reduce security costs while enhancing their overall protection.

“This milestone is a powerful indicator of the industry’s trust in RAD’s ability to deliver cutting-edge technology,” said Mark Folmer, CPP, PSP, FSyI, President of RAD. “We’re excited to continue building on this momentum and deliver solutions that redefine how the security industry approaches its most critical challenges.”

A RAD unit is defined by the deployment of a single device, such as a ROSA or AVA^™, each counted as one unit. Similarly, a RIO 180 is recognized as one unit. However, in the case of the RIO 360, which includes two ROSA devices, it is counted as two units. ROSS^™ deployments, some of which control up to 50 cameras, are not included in these counts.

The Company noted that they are fewer than two dozen units away from surpassing the 1,000-unit milestone and anticipate crossing this threshold before the end of October.
