Multi-Unit Deployment Builds on Prior Large Scale Construction Execution
Detroit, Michigan, Jan. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 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 an upcoming deployment of ten RIO™ Mini solar powered autonomous security trailers at a large construction project located in the Midwest United States. The deployment is scheduled to begin shortly, with the associated subscription and software licensing already generating recurring monthly revenue (RMR) under RAD’s standard commercial terms.
Each of the ten RIO Mini units included in this deployment will operate with an active license for RAD’s SARA™ (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent) agentic AI platform, extending autonomous monitoring, detection, and response capabilities across the entire site. This activity follows a December 8, 2025 announcement in which RAD completed a sixteen-unit RIO Mini deployment for a separate large construction project, reinforcing a pattern of multi-unit orders and repeat adoption within the construction sector.
“This deployment reflects how construction clients are standardizing on autonomous security rather than treating it as a one-off solution,” said Troy McCanna, Chief Security Officer and Chief Revenue Officer at RAD. “Large job sites demand visibility, consistency, and rapid response across constantly changing conditions. Deployments of this size show that customers understand how autonomous systems can be integrated into real world operations at scale.”
With multiple large construction deployments now underway or recently completed, RAD is engaging with additional construction companies, integrators, and security providers responsible for job site protection who are evaluating autonomous security as part of their operational planning. Organizations interested in learning how RIO Mini and the SARA platform can be applied to active construction environments are encouraged to request a demonstration.
