AITX's RAD Signs Agreement with Global Healthcare Organization
Opportunity Reflects Growing Demand for Lower Cost Scalable Security Operations
Detroit, Michigan, May 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 it has secured a new direct customer agreement with a global healthcare organization for an initial deployment of multiple RIO 360™ solar powered autonomous security solutions. The customer is implementing RAD's AI driven security technologies as part of a broader initiative focused on improving security operations and reducing traditional guarding costs across portions of its facility footprint.

Large organizations operating distributed facilities often face difficult security coverage decisions, particularly at remote, lightly occupied, or lower activity locations where maintaining a dedicated guard presence may not be operationally or financially practical. RAD believes its autonomous security solutions are increasingly being adopted by organizations seeking to improve coverage consistency, reduce operating costs, and create more scalable security operations across broad facility networks.
As part of RAD's platform expansion initiative announced earlier this year, all deployed RIO 360 units now include SARA™, RAD's Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent, as a standard integrated feature. SARA is designed to support intelligent detection, communication, escalation, and operational response workflows across RAD's autonomous security platforms.
"Healthcare infrastructure and related facilities represent a substantial long-term opportunity for RAD," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD. "Organizations operating complex facility environments are actively seeking technologies that can help modernize security operations while improving efficiency and responsiveness. Solutions like RIO can extend visibility and deterrence capabilities into areas where traditional security models may be difficult to justify or consistently maintain."
The Company expects to complete the deployment of the first RIO 360 units in mid-June as part of its initial implementation. RAD indicated that discussions regarding additional locations and broader expansion opportunities are accelerating as the organization advances its scalable security operations initiative across its facility network.
Due to customer confidentiality agreements, additional details regarding the organization and deployment scope are not being disclosed at this time.
"Large enterprise organizations do not move quickly when evaluating technologies tied to safety, operations, and facility security," said Troy McCanna, Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Security Officer at RAD. "This opportunity followed an extensive review and vetting process that spanned several months. We believe that successfully earning the confidence of organizations operating at this scale reflects the strength of RAD's solutions and the consistency of our team's execution."
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.
