Detroit, Michigan, July 25, 2022 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., ( OTCPK:AITX ), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD) has received an order for 2 AVA autonomous access control security robots from a top ranked global distribution and supply chain company with over 50 distribution centers. The order was facilitated through one of RAD’s largest authorized dealers. Although not named due to confidentiality agreements, the Company indicated that the end-user is a new client.
“Our dealer network is developing nicely,” said Mark Folmer, President of RAD. “The dealer that introduced us to this client to us is well positioned to scale its business with us. The end-user client is the ideal type of customer for AVA. Affordable, autonomous vehicle entry verification and access control that doesn’t require costly and hard to find manpower.”
According to a recent report by Peerless Research Group, “The boom in e-commerce is compounding the major labor challenges faced by the $5T global logistics industry. Not only are shipment volumes growing rapidly, but online retail also typically requires more logistical work per item than brick & mortar retail.”
“This client is a powerhouse in moving product in and out of their facilities,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX. “I recently visited them, and the sheer magnitude of their capacity to move items is staggering. These AVA units will be a huge complement to the automation they have in place,” Reinharz continued.
RAD’s parent company AITX has filed for uplisting to the OTCQB. Future announcements will be made regarding the status of the OTCQB application.
AVA (Autonomous Verified Access) is a compact and stanchion mountable unit that provides an edge-to-edge 180° field of vision with advanced access control over gates and other controlled points of entry. AVA takes full advantage of the RAD Software Suite providing an ideal solution for logistics and distribution centers, storage yards, parking structures and lots, corporate campuses; anywhere that increased visibility is needed at a fraction of the cost.
