RAD Secures Three Additional RIO Mini Units from Major Consumer Products Manufacturer

Repeat Order Brings Total Deployment to Eight Systems with SARA and Signals Continued Expansion

Detroit, Michigan, February 20, 2026 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCID:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced that a major consumer products manufacturer has booked three additional RIO™ Mini units, each licensed with SARA ™, RAD’s Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent platform. This direct enterprise sale brings the client’s total deployment to eight RIO Mini systems across multiple corporate facilities, with installation scheduled in the coming weeks.

This expansion reflects RAD’s structured enterprise engagement model, where initial deployments are evaluated in live operating environments before broader rollout decisions are made. Large organizations often require measured validation periods as performance, integration, and reliability are assessed across stakeholders and facilities. With eight systems now committed, this client’s continued adoption signals operational confidence and establishes a foundation for additional growth opportunities within the organization.

“Enterprise security decisions require patience and proof,” said Troy McCanna, Chief Security Officer at RAD and former FBI Special Agent. “Large organizations do not expand programs based on assumptions. They expand based on performance in real operating conditions. This client took the time to evaluate RIO Mini and SARA within their environment, and the results supported additional deployment. That is how sustainable security programs are built.”

Each of the newly booked RIO Mini units will operate under a SARA license, continuing a trend in which the majority of new RAD deployments include the Company’s agentic AI platform. As enterprises move beyond simple detection toward automated verification and response workflows, SARA is increasingly becoming a standard component of RAD’s architecture. The growing attachment rate strengthens recurring revenue visibility while expanding the operational intelligence embedded within each client environment.

RAD invites security professionals and channel partners to experience RIO Mini and SARA 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.
