AITX's RAD Adds 12 More RIO Minis at Massive Construction Site
Deployment Operates Without Traditional Guarding Services as SARA Handles Detection, Investigation, and Escalation
Detroit, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2026) - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCID: AITX) (the "Company"), a global leader in AI driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced that an existing construction industry client has ordered 12 additional RIO™ Mini autonomous solar powered security trailers, each equipped with a SARA™ (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent) license, to secure approximately 20 acres of nearby material storage supporting a major data center construction project.

What makes this deployment particularly notable is that the client does not contract with traditional guarding companies for the protection of the project site or material storage areas, instead relying on RAD's autonomous security ecosystem to detect, investigate, deter, and escalate security events. When unusual activity is identified, RIO Mini initiates engagement with SARA, which autonomously evaluates the situation, can issue live deterrence announcements, and notifies designated stakeholders when intervention or awareness is required.
The additional RIO Mini units are expected to secure high value construction materials and equipment stored across multiple outdoor staging areas associated with the data center project. RAD believes the continued expansion of the deployment reflects growing confidence in autonomous security operations within industries where large perimeters, valuable assets, and around the clock activity have traditionally required significant guarding resources.
"We continue to see the construction sector emerge as one of the strongest adopters of autonomous security technologies," said Troy McCanna, Chief Revenue and Chief Security Officer at RAD. "These environments are large, active, constantly changing, and often filled with valuable equipment and materials that require continuous awareness and rapid response. As deployments scale, customers are recognizing that autonomous security operations can deliver consistency, visibility, and responsiveness across sites where traditional approaches can become difficult and expensive to manage."
