AVA 3.0 with STAN Wins in Its Category
Detroit, Michigan, March 28, 2022 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCPK:AITX), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD) was recognized by the Security Industry Association (SIA) as an award winner at the 2022 SIA New Products and Solutions (NPS) Awards, the flagship awards program presented in partnership with ISC West recognizing innovative security products, services and solutions.
Robotic Assistance Devices was selected as the 2022 winner of the Access Control Software, Hardware, Devices and Peripherals – Wireless for its AVA 3.0 with STAN solution and honored March 23 during an award ceremony on the ISC West show floor.
“Our entire experience at ISC West was nothing short of remarkable,” said Mark Folmer, President of RAD. “And being named a winner of a SIA NPS Award for AVA 3.0 with STAN caps off an incredible show for us.”
“SIA applauds the 2022 SIA NPS Awards honorees, whose outstanding products, solutions and technologies represent the best and most cutting-edge security offerings on the market,” said SIA CEO Don Erickson. “SIA congratulates Robotic Assistance Devices for standing out among the impressive field of entrants in this competitive flagship awards program.”
“It felt like this ISC West was the industry’s re-introduction to our AVA solution,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX. “AVA is the one autonomous response device of ours that specifically targets a security task that up until now had been performed by a guard. And showing STAN, AVA’s autonomous stanchion at the expo, convinced many clients that this is the cost saving solution they had been waiting for. As an example, the largest distributor of technology products is eager to have AVA 3.0 in place at their distribution centers,” Reinharz concluded.
The Company also noted that a leader in portable security systems has chosen to remarket AVA 3.0 under their own label and promote the solution through their sales channels.
AVA is a compact and stanchion mountable unit that provides an edge-to-edge 180° field of vision with advanced access control over gates, doors, 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.
Since its inception in 1979, the SIA NPS Awards have been the security industry’s premier product awards program. New products are reviewed by a panel of judges with extensive industry experience, and in 2022, following significant deliberations, the 30 judges presented awards for technologies covering 25 product and service categories.
