Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), a subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., today announced the expansion of its popular RIO solar-powered mobile security solution lineup.
Named RIO Mini, the new security solution is now in production, with the company forecasting that it can add up to 500 units to its sales expectations this fiscal year.
RIO Mini utilizes a dual configuration of RAD’s ROSA device. ROSA is a compact, self-contained, portable security and communication solution that can be installed and activated in about 15 minutes. ROSA’s AI-driven security analytics include human and vehicle detection and complete integration with RAD’s software suite notification and autonomous response library. Two-way communication is optimized for cellular, including live video from ROSA’s high-resolution, full-color, always-on cameras.
RAD has published six case studies detailing how ROSA has helped eliminate instances of theft, trespassing, and loitering at retail centers, hospital campuses, multi-family communities, car rental locations, and construction sites across the country.
RIO Mini joins RAD’s existing RIO lineup, which includes the RIO 180 and RIO 360 units. RIO Mini is expected to achieve greater profitability than the primary RIO lineup while being substantially less expensive for clients. It will feature reduced analytics processing and limitations on other select features while maintaining RAD’s core Autonomous Intelligent Response capabilities. The device is enabled by a lower-cost modified version of RAD G’s RADPack, providing consistent performance in a compact and economical format.
Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO of AITX and RAD, commented, “We are starting to see the benefits after years of hardware and software development by AITX’s various subsidiaries. Utilizing internally developed analytics and electronics hardware and benefiting from our complete control of the supply chain, we are well-positioned to compete aggressively in the mobile surveillance unit marketplace. This new solution will enable dealers and our internal sales team to expand their target markets to include clients that want the basics of intelligent autonomous response.”
As with all RAD security solutions, RIO Mini is supported by SARA, the company’s AI-based software platform. SARA (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent) provides real-time responsiveness, centralized device management, and seamless integration across RAD’s ecosystem of autonomous security technologies.
RIO Mini was introduced to the public last week during ISC West in Las Vegas. The response from RAD’s channel partners, existing clients, and new prospects was overwhelmingly positive. Many attendees expressed interest in how RIO Mini’s streamlined design and accessible pricing could open new markets and use cases that complement the existing RIO offerings.
RIO Mini’s aggressive pricing has not been publicly disclosed. Interested dealers, clients, and prospects are encouraged to contact RAD directly for additional details and availability.
