Robotic Assistance Devices Inc. (RAD), announced that a major global logistics client has placed additional orders for multiple RIO 360 solar-powered security towers, each equipped with SARA (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent), AITX’s proprietary Agentic AI platform.

These new deployments on the West Coast represent a continuation of the client’s ongoing national expansion of RAD’s security technology and software. According to the announcement, this latest order underscores the growing confidence major organizations have in RAD’s solutions to address evolving security challenges at scale.

The RIO 360 units will be deployed at the client’s distribution and logistics centers, where they serve as an alternative to traditional manned security posts. Each unit is connected to SARA in the cloud, enabling real-time intelligent monitoring, automated voice talk-downs to deter suspicious activity, immediate notifications to security personnel, and comprehensive incident reporting. This seamless integration allows the RIO units to deliver consistent site monitoring and rapid response, helping the client strengthen facility security while optimizing operational resources.

“We are proud to support this client’s nationwide growth with solutions that deliver proven results in challenging environments,” said Mark Folmer, CPP, PSP, president of RAD. “Their continued adoption of RIO and SARA highlights the value and impact that AI-driven security can bring to complex logistics operations. We look forward to helping more organizations realize similar benefits as they modernize their security strategies.”

RAD said SARA’s growing adoption across a variety of industries and sectors reflects a broader shift toward AI-powered, autonomous security solutions. With each new deployment, SARA further establishes its role as an essential technology for organizations seeking to automate routine monitoring, accelerate incident response, and maintain consistency across multiple sites. The momentum seen in this rollout signals increasing demand for intelligent security platforms that deliver reliable performance in real-world environments.

Sitting atop a standard RIO 360 configuration are dual ROSA units. 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, firearm, vehicle detection, license plate recognition, responsive digital signage and audio messaging, 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.
