AITX's Subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Opens New Markets, Deploys First RIO Solar Powered Security System at Gulf Coast Jam

RAD’s Initial Entry into the Large Outdoor Event and Venue Marketplace

Detroit, Michigan, May 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (the “Company”) (OTCPK: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 it has deployed a RIO solar powered security trailer at Gulf Coast Jam music festival which is being held June 1-4, 2023 in Panama City Beach, Florida.

This marks the Company’s first deployment of one of its security solutions within the event management industry. This sector is dedicated to creating and managing events that take place in outdoor settings, such as festivals, concerts, fairs, carnivals, and other similar gatherings. There are an estimated 800 outdoor music festivals held in the U.S. each year.

“This is another milestone for RAD and AITX,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX and RAD. “These temporary and portable events are a great market opportunity for advanced solutions like RIO which has been designed to be quickly and easily deployed, perform its security and safety duties, then move on to the next location.”

One of RAD’s largest authorized dealers, DSI Security Services, is providing security services at the popular country music festival. DSI had ordered the RIO device from RAD to assist in their delivery of advanced security services during the 4-day event.

"The success of Gulf Coast Jam's security lies not only in the remarkable capabilities of RAD's RIO but also in the tireless dedication and expertise of our security personnel," said J. Kent Calhoun, PSP, ESS Manager at DSI Security Services. "United by a shared commitment to excellence, our security team has seamlessly integrated RIO into their operation, leveraging its cutting-edge features to amplify their vigilance and provide a secure environment for all festivalgoers."

The Company noted that the RIO device has been deployed at the main and VIP entrances.

“We are more than happy to support DSI with a RIO at Gulf Coast Jam,” said Mark Folmer, CPP, PSP, FSyI, President of RAD. “Power availability at outdoor events is often limited and scarce, presenting significant challenges for organizers and vendors. Plus, we’re excited to be able to showcase RIO to the nearly 80,000 attendees that are expected at this year’s festival.”
