Detroit, Michigan, September 24, 2026 – Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCID:AITX), along with its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced a hardware price increase across its security solution lineup. The adjustment reflects sustained increases in material, electronic component, freight, manufacturing, regulatory compliance, and other input costs that have affected the physical security technology sector.
“This is a considered adjustment to reflect the cost environment in which we are building and supporting our solutions,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD. “We recognize that higher pricing may affect some incoming sales activity in the near term. At the same time, we expect our expanding product lineup to more than offset that effect, specifically SARA™ deployments and the innovative upcoming new hardware item release we expect to announce in the next four weeks or so.”
Effective September 22, 2026, channel partner pricing for ROSA™ and AVA™ increased by approximately 6%. Higher percentage adjustments apply to RAD’s RIO™ product family, reflecting increased material, freight, and manufacturing costs associated with its steel-intensive, self-contained solar-powered security platforms. ROAMEO™ pricing remains unchanged.
For channel partners and customers with active conversations, open evaluations, or planned deployments, all previously quoted opportunities remain valid at their previously quoted pricing through October 31, 2026. New quotes and sales orders for opportunities not previously quoted will reflect the revised pricing.
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.
