Autonomous Security Selected for Government Facility Construction Project as Sector Momentum Builds
Detroit, Michigan, March 17, 2026 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCID:AITXD), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced that it has secured an order for ten RIO™ Mini autonomous solar powered security towers, each licensed with SARA ™ (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent) RAD’s agentic AI platform, from a major Midwest construction company. The units are scheduled for deployment over the next several weeks at a large government facility construction project where they will provide continuous autonomous site monitoring and intelligent response capabilities.
This latest order will bring the client’s total deployment to twenty RIO units across active construction environments, with additional expansion opportunities anticipated as new projects come online. In this deployment model, the construction company itself serves as the end-user responsible for site security, allowing RIO Mini and SARA to provide continuous oversight of the job site. When a security event is detected, SARA can immediately contact designated project stakeholders, enabling rapid awareness and response without requiring a traditional security department or third-party guard services.
“Troy McCanna, Chief Revenue and Chief Security Officer at RAD, commented, “Construction environments present unique security challenges. Job sites are large, active, and often operate without dedicated security teams on location. What we are seeing across the industry is growing recognition that autonomous security solutions like RIO Mini paired with SARA provide a practical and highly effective way to protect valuable materials, equipment, and infrastructure while keeping project teams informed and able to respond quickly when needed. The continued expansion of this customer’s deployment reflects the strong acceptance our solutions are receiving throughout the construction sector.”
RIO Mini is designed to deliver rapid security coverage across environments where traditional infrastructure may not yet exist, making it particularly well suited for construction projects and temporary worksites. Powered by solar panels and integrated with SARA, the system continuously monitors the site and evaluates activity in real time. When a potential security event is detected, SARA can initiate a series of automated calls to designated project stakeholders, providing immediate awareness and enabling appropriate escalation or response while eliminating the need for traditional on-site guarding.
RAD invites security professionals and current and prospective channel partners to experience its full portfolio of solutions in action at ISC West 2026. Attendees will have the opportunity to see live demonstrations, speak directly with RAD leadership and product experts, and learn how autonomous security deployments are being proven, expanded, and scaled across real world environments. Meetings may be scheduled in advance or coordinated onsite throughout the event.
