Recurring Purchases of RIO Security Solutions Extend Customer Adoption, with Latest Order Adding Sight Lines to Help Deter Trespassers

Detroit, Michigan, October 7, 2026 -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCID:AITX), a developer and operator of AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), has received an additional RIO™ 180 order from an established property management customer, expanding security coverage at a vacant property already using a RIO unit. The order continues a multi-year purchasing relationship in which recurring orders, often for one or two units at a time, have collectively built a substantial customer account focused primarily on protecting vacant properties and deterring trespassers.

Many of the customer's individual purchases have not been the subject of dedicated Company announcements. Collectively, however, the orders represent close to two dozen RIO units, demonstrating a pattern of repeat business and expansion as additional properties and coverage needs arise. The latest order illustrates that progression: the customer is repositioning an existing RIO and adding a second unit to improve sight lines across a vacant property, extending RAD's presence within a site it already serves.

"Repeat orders are earned property by property," said Troy McCanna, Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Security Officer of RAD. "This customer keeps coming back with specific security needs, and those individual purchases have built a substantial relationship. The latest order is about getting better coverage at a property they already protect with RAD. For property managers facing similar challenges, that is a practical example of how security can expand where it is needed."

Vacant properties create a distinct security challenge for property management companies: the assets remain exposed even when tenant activity and routine staff presence disappear. Large outdoor areas, multiple access points and obstructed sight lines can complicate efforts to detect and deter trespassing, while changing occupancy requires coverage that can adapt without permanent infrastructure work. RIO's portable design allows property managers to reposition units as site needs change and add coverage where gaps emerge, helping address security needs while managing the expense of dedicated guard coverage.

The same combination of exposed assets, changing coverage needs and pressure to control security costs extends beyond property management to construction sites, logistics yards, automotive facilities and other commercial environments. RAD's approach allows customers to address an immediate need, then add coverage as requirements evolve. This property management relationship demonstrates how that process can build a substantial account over time, one additional order at a time.

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.
