Detroit, Michigan, Jan. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (OTCPK:AITX), today announced that a major US regional airport is poised to deploy 2 SCOT security devices from its wholly-owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices Inc. (RAD). This order is being facilitated by one of RAD’s highly renowned authorized dealers. The end-user cannot be disclosed at this time due to non-disclosure agreements.
“Airports and airport properties have been a key target market for RAD since day one,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX. “We all know that security at airports needs to keep up with the ever-evolving threats and technology. RAD’s solutions whether it’s ROSA, SCOT or ROAMEO provide an incredible, and affordable force-multiplier for airport security.”
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible on a nation-wide basis for screening passengers and their baggage, but individual airports are tasked with securing their facilities and perimeters. “This client is planning to deploy one SCOT within their baggage claim area, and another curbside where travelers are picked up and dropped off,” said Mark Folmer, President of RAD. “One of the great benefits of RAD and the SCOT solution is that these devices perform routine security surveillance and reporting, plus provide guest concierge services including interactive information, schedules, weather, directions and more,” Folmer added.
It is expected that since these SCOT units will be deployed in public view on the airport property that the end-user’s identity and exact location will be revealed at a later date. “We are very excited to have these SCOT devices placed in busy areas of the airport. Up to 15 million passengers pass through this airport each year, that’s a lot of interaction with RAD devices,” Reinharz added.
SCOT (Security Control Observation Tower) stands 7’ tall and is capable of autonomously performing many of the tasks that a manned post would perform but at a fraction of the cost. SCOT can be positioned to monitor and record both human and vehicle activity in any environment, indoors or outdoors. SCOT includes the capability of initiating emergency calls to remote monitoring personnel with two-way audio and video communications. In the case of an imminent threat or actual emergency, the guest would push the unit’s CALL SECURITY button. Immediately, they will be greeted by a remote monitoring officer who could then activate additional device alarms and dispatch local security personnel or law enforcement. SCOT’s concierge and customer engagement features via its large web-enabled touch screen will provide timely and welcome information services to airport guests.
“We’re working with several other airport operators looking to deploy similar solutions in their terminals, around their perimeters, and in parking garages,” Reinharz commented. “It’s expected that new deployment announcement will be made in coming months.”
