Construction client grows AITX (AITX) RIO Mini and SARA AI deployment to 42 devices
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (AITX) furnished an update highlighting further adoption of its autonomous security technology in the construction sector. An existing construction client ordered 12 additional RIO Mini solar-powered security trailers, each with a SARA AI license, to protect about 20 acres of material storage tied to a major data center project.
The client relies entirely on AITX’s RAD ecosystem instead of traditional guarding services for detection, investigation, deterrence, and escalation. Management notes that this expansion brings the client’s single-project deployment to 42 devices, which they view as evidence of operational value and support for AITX’s recurring revenue model. The release also reiterates AITX’s focus on AI-driven security solutions targeting the roughly $50 billion U.S. security and guarding services industry with Solutions-as-a-Service offerings aiming for substantial cost savings versus manned guarding.

Exhibit 99.1
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, May 26, 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 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."
"We believe one of the strongest indicators of long-term customer value is expansion within existing deployments," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD. "When a client grows from an initial deployment to 42 devices at a single project site while relying entirely on RIO and SARA, it demonstrates both the operational value of the solution and the strength of the recurring revenue model supporting our business."
The Company invites prospective clients, channel partners, and industry participants to connect with its team to learn how RAD's solutions can support their security and operational objectives.
