Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), and GardaWorld Security Systems, have announced a new collaboration to offer RAD products to GardaWorld Security Systems customers in Canada.

Expanding access

“We are very excited to be partnering with RAD in deploying their AI-equipped robotic devices across Canada,” said Scott Young, National Vice President at GardaWorld Security Systems & Technology.

“RAD’s solutions offer a perfect bolt-on technology for our existing physical security clients to enhance situational awareness through AI.

“AI applications have taken the security industry by storm in 2023 and we are very pleased to expand our product lineup to provide this new technology to our Canadian customers from a company that’s been building advanced AI tech for years.”

“Powered by AI”

The companies note that this partnership is an expansion of GardaWorld’s existing authorized dealer agreement with RAD. GardaWorld Security Systems & Technology is now authorized to market RAD solutions throughout Canada.

“These products provide low-cost, AI-powered, remote video monitored solutions to enhance threat/event identification, including firearm detection, with automated and two-way voice communication capabilities,” added Young.

“At RAD, our focus is taking robotic devices that are powered by AI and solving security issues in a different way,” said Mark Folmer, CPP, PSP, FSyI, President of RAD.

“This is a great step forward for both parties, but mostly important for our Canadian end-users that will soon benefit from RAD devices offered through GardaWorld.”

The companies say that focus will be on RAD’s ROSA and AVA security solutions.

“RAD’s ROSA device, which stands for Responsive Observation Security Agent, delivers basic security services that were once reserved for security officers,” said Folmer.

“And AVA, which stands for Autonomous Verified Access, is a workflow device. Think about that security officer at a gate and those basic verification functions that can now performed done by a device.”
