Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. along with Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. announced that Ingram Micro, Inc. (Ingram Micro) has selected AVA for deployment at several of their distribution centers. The initial order was facilitated through one of RAD?s larger authorized dealers. Ingram Micro is a global information technology (IT) wholesale distributor, providing sales, marketing, and logistics services for the IT industry worldwide.

An autonomous device like AVA (Autonomous Verified Access) at access gates offers distinct advantages over relying solely on human security guards. AVA provides a consistent and reliable 180° field of vision, and continuous monitoring, whereas human guards may become fatigued or distracted. AVA operates around the clock without breaks, reducing the risk of human error or negligence.

AVA integrates RAD?s advanced AI-powered access control technology, enhancing security, reporting, and efficiency. AVA is a compact, stanchion mounted unit that provides an edge-to-edge 180° field of vision with advanced access control over gates and other controlled points of entry. AVA takes full advantage of the RAD Software Suite providing an ideal solution for logistics and distribution centers, storage yards, parking structures and lots, corporate campuses; anywhere that increased visibility is needed at a fraction of the cost.

At ISC West 2022, AVA was named a winner of the SIA New Products and Solutions Awards in the category of Access Control Software, Hardware, Devices and Peripherals. AITX, through its subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), is redefining the $25 billion (US) security and guarding services industry through its broad lineup of innovative, AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service business model. RAD solutions are specifically designed to provide cost savings to businesses of between 35%-80% when compared to the industry?s existing and costly manned security guarding and monitoring model.

RAD delivers this tremendous cost savings via a suite of stationary and mobile robotic solutions that complement, and at times, directly replace the need for human personnel in environments better suited for machines. All RAD technologies, AI-based analytics and software platforms are developed in-house.
