Farewell to Blue Light Towers: How RAD’s AI is Transforming University Security

rlmwadmin — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 14:00:00 +0000

In the pursuit of providing optimal safety for their students, university campuses have long relied on blue light emergency systems. However, these traditional systems come with significant limitations that leave students feeling uneasy. Thankfully, schools are now embracing cutting-edge technology to bolster campus security. Enter RAD’s advanced AI security robots, offering unparalleled protection and transforming the way universities safeguard their communities.

The Drawbacks of Blue Light Systems

Blue light systems, with their tall poles and flashing lights, have been a familiar sight on campuses for decades. When activated, students can communicate with campus security officers through the speaker system. However, these passive systems have inherent downsides. Locating and reaching a blue light tower in an emergency can be time-consuming, potentially compromising the student’s safety. Moreover, the lack of visuals on the situation hinders the police’s ability to assess the threat promptly.

The Rise of ROSA and RAD Light My Way

To address these limitations, RAD has developed the ROSA security robot, paired with the RAD Light My Way mobile phone application. ROSA, an autonomous security robot equipped with cameras, lights, a visual display, and two-way communication, leverages AI to detect potential threats and intervene effectively. Its ability to issue verbal warnings, activate bright lights, and alert authorities autonomously sets it apart from traditional blue light systems.

The Power of RAD Light My Way

The RAD Light My Way app empowers students to request and activate virtual security escorts instantly using their smartphones. ROSA can pinpoint the student’s location, while a remote security officer monitors the situation through ROSA’s cameras. This officer remains engaged until the student feels safe or reaches their destination. Furthermore, RAD Light My Way notifies other ROSA units to activate alert lighting along the student’s walking route, providing an extra layer of protection.

Freedom from Stationary Locations

Unlike traditional blue light systems tied to fixed locations, ROSA’s physical presence and virtual escorting capabilities offer unparalleled security, safety, and protection. Students can now feel secure knowing they are visually monitored and can communicate with a remote security officer at all times. The mere presence of ROSA also acts as a potent deterrent to potential assailants.

Affordable Advanced Solutions

RAD’s AI-powered robot security solutions represent a significant leap in campus safety, surpassing the capabilities of human security patrols. With affordable implementation costs, universities can enhance their security infrastructure without compromising their budgets.

The Future of Campus Security

As security technologies continue to evolve, the adoption of ROSA robots and the RAD Light My Way app exemplifies a progressive approach to campus safety. More universities will undoubtedly embrace this 21st-century technology, bidding farewell to outdated blue light towers and welcoming the era of AI-powered campus security.

Conclusion

The transformation from traditional blue light systems to RAD’s AI security robots is a game-changer for university campuses. With ROSA’s active monitoring and virtual escorting capabilities, students can feel safer than ever before. As more schools follow suit and adopt this advanced technology, the future of smarter and more efficient campus security is within reach. The recent order of 10 ROSA units and RAD Light My Way by a prominent East Coast university serves as a testament to this transformative shift in safeguarding the campus community.

New! RAD Light My Way™ Case Study

rlmwadmin — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 15:00:58 +0000

Case Study – Community Hospital Leads the Way Toward Better Campus Safety, With Help from RAD Light My Way

The Client:

Scotland Memorial Hospital in Laurinburg, NC, is a small community hospital and the flagship facility of Scotland Health Care System. Located in one of the most economically depressed regions of the state, many of its patients struggle with social determinants of health common to low-income communities. These factors make it more difficult for Scotland Memorial to provide services and maintain an environment where hospital staff, patients, and visitors feel safe.

Despite these challenges, the community perceives the hospital as a welcoming place. David Pope, Chief Operating Officer at Scotland Health, says, “For decades, we’ve thought of the hospital campus as a place that’s safe for foot traffic. We had a policy about no loitering, but we didn’t aggressively enforce it. During COVID, families had picnics outside under the trees because they weren’t allowed inside. Parking is so close, there’s only a 100-yard walk – at most – from any parking spot to our entrance.”

That sense of safety changed in May of 2022 when an assault occurred in a parking lot right next to the building. “It was a wakeup call that we needed to enhance our security,” says Pope. “Since then, we’ve looked at security vulnerabilities from every angle and have deployed some cutting-edge solutions. We’re incredibly proud to be the first hospital in the country to deploy a RAD Light My Way system manufactured by Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD). It’s a new award-winning technology that was recommended to us by our guard services provider – one of the leaders in the guard services industry – that has dramatically improved the ability to monitor activity on our parking lots.”

What Is RAD Light My Way?

RAD Light My Way is a comprehensive hardware and software solution comprised of three elements:

- RAD’s ROSA, an AI-driven, multi-functional security surveillance and communication devices, each about the size of a small microwave oven. Self-contained and portable, they can be mounted on poles, walls, or fences.

- RAD’s cloud-based monitoring platform, RADSoC. In Scotland Memorial’s deployment, the hospital’s contracted guarding company manages the system.

- RAD Light My Way, the mobile app that hospital workers utilize from their smartphones.

The hardware units are called ROSAs – Responsive Observation Security Agents. Each device features two high-resolution cameras, responsive digital signage and audio messaging, and integrated security analytics to detect humans, firearms, and vehicles and read license plates. Two-way communication between the ROSA units and monitoring personnel is optimized for cellular and does not require any network connection. The ROSA units may be powered by AC (a standard ROSA), battery (ROSA-P), or solar (RIO 360).

The software for managing the ROSAs is a cloud-based platform called RADSoC – a virtual security operations center. Using its secure, intuitive dashboard, remote security personnel can view live and recorded video, control device messaging, view alerts triggered by ROSA’s detection, and open two-way audio communication with people nearby.

The RAD Light My Way app transforms RAD’s remote surveillance and monitoring solution into a personal security escort service that accompanies hospital workers as they move between their cars and the building. Users connect with security officers through the app when they desire assistance. The ROSA units on the lot are activated, their lights go from green to red (or any customizable variation), a customized message plays over their loudspeakers, and the responding officer pulls up live video of the area. They then can maintain a dialog with the user over the user’s cell phone until they safely reach their destination. If any issues arise, the officer can deploy help to the exact location immediately.

Scotland Memorial’s Solution

Pope says that RAD Light My Way is one element of a broader effort to improve site security. So far, as part of the RAD Light My Way system, Scotland Memorial has deployed seven ROSA units at the hospital and an additional two at the campus’ nearby hospice building. Most are mounted on light poles; a few are on building walls.

One of the most critical roles the ROSAs play is crime deterrence. When someone walks by one of the devices, it makes an announcement. During the daytime, the pre-recorded message is welcoming. The announcement is more assertive at night, stating that the area is under surveillance. Accompanying messages appear on the unit’s LED screens.

Pope says, “I want to make sure that our facilities are not an easy target for criminals. They’re going to say, ‘I’m not going to the hospital because they’ve got monitors on poles with cameras, lights, and speakers. They’ve got security officers monitoring them. I’ll go find a softer target.”

The ROSAs are also the eyes and ears of the RAD Light My Way system, providing onsite security guards with the ability to escort staff to their cars virtually. Pope explains, “We’ve always had security officers onsite, but at times our staff have hesitated to ask for an escort to their vehicle. They don’t want to feel like a bother, like they’re pulling an officer away from other security-related responsibilities. With RAD Light My Way, we’ve removed that barrier. Asking for a virtual escort isn’t any trouble, so folks are likelier to do it.”

In addition to providing a virtual escort service, The RAD Light My Way app allows users to pull up still images of their parked car while on campus. They can check that nobody is vandalizing or breaking into it and that nothing looks suspicious before they head to the lot. They use the RAD Light My Way app to pinpoint the geo-location of their vehicle when they park, so the photos they see are from the closest camera.

Of course, the ROSA devices alert officers of any potential security issues in real time so they can respond. Their sensors and video analytics detect and respond to suspicious behaviors. However, when staff members can see their cars whenever they want, they enjoy an enhanced peace of mind.

Trust in Relationships Builds Trust in Technology

“There are always risks with being one of the first to try a new technology,” says Pope. “When you’re responsible for security at a hospital, you have to get it right. The fact that this solution was recommended by our security contractor, with whom we have a strong relationship, was a significant selling point. Security is a trust game, and without their confidence in the RAD team and their solution, we would not have considered it.

“We’ve been delighted with the implementation process and how the technology works. The folks at RAD were very responsive and worked with our existing infrastructure to make installation a painless experience. They conducted a site walk with us to determine where to position the devices to avoid obstructed views and provide the best sight lines and coverage possible.

“When I speak with friends and colleagues at other hospitals about our experience with the RAD Light My Way system, I have only good news to share. Just as our security contractor company’s endorsement was essential in convincing us to give RAD Light My Way a try, I expect our success story will carry weight in helping other campuses decide whether to invest in this technology.”

“The trust issue has also been central in getting Scotland Memorial employees to embrace the RAD Light My Way system. At first, some were slightly suspicious about using an app on their phone. However, as we’ve explained how it works and they can see it in action, our staff realizes its value. The hospital’s Director of Security, Rick Myers, introduces new hires to the app during new employee orientation. We talk it up all the time. It communicates to our employees that we care about them.”

Measuring Success

Laurinburg, NC, has one of the highest crime rates in the nation. During the past year, the hospital has experienced increased workplace violence threats, including more acting out by patients and visitors in the Emergency Department. However, there has not been a single altercation in the parking lot. Pope says, “It’s hard to assess how much is directly due to the RAD solution, but we clearly see that our hardened security posture, which includes the ROSAs and RAD Light My Way, is working.”

“Before the upgrade, we had a fair number of cameras mounted on the hospital and in the parking lot, but they were passive. We could watch and record but lacked interaction with what was happening on site. There was not the deterrent effect that our new systems have.

“As for the ROSA units, they did shake up our employees a little bit when they were first installed. They didn’t expect them to turn on as they walked through the lot, loudly announcing, “Welcome to Scotland Health!” But that surprised reaction is precisely what we want people to have. Our employees got used to it quickly, but someone entering our property for the first time who doesn’t belong wonders where the voice is coming from. Who is watching them?”

“In terms of ROI, installing this technology is a practical win. It’s an additional security tool. But the larger benefit to us, as an organization, is connecting with our employees and driving their engagement. Our most valuable asset is our staff. They see we’re taking steps to make them safer.”

“With labor shortage hitting healthcare particularly hard, making workers feel safe is critical to successful hiring and reducing attrition. Thanks to RAD Light My Way, we won’t lose team members because they’re afraid to walk to their car at night.”

RAD Announces ‘RAD Light My Way’ an Integrated Facility and Campus Safety Application

rlmwadmin — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 15:09:47 +0000

Detroit, Michigan, March 10, 2022 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (OTCPK:AITX), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD) has formally released RAD Light My Way, the first of its kind facility and campus safety solution where users can control the lighting and security conditions of their environment.

“With RAD Light My Way, consumers whether they’re employees in a corporate office building, or students on a college campus can take control of their immediate safety surroundings while outdoors, especially at night,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX. “For years RAD has been producing remarkable security solutions based on our advanced artificial intelligence technologies, and corporate clients have benefited from the enhanced security and low cost they deliver.”

RAD Light My Way offers property management and campus security professionals a new and better way to address security. This breakthrough solution puts the power of security in the hands of employees, faculty, and students through the combination of affordable, smart, interactive technologies, a mobile app, and live remote monitoring and response services.

The facility management industry has taken notice. RAD Light My Way is the winner of the 2021 Best Workplace Experience Award, part of CBRE’s annual Supplier Innovation Challenge.

“We’re seeing that students and faculty members on college campuses want to be more empowered over how their security and safety is implemented,” said Michael Martin, CEO at Circadian Risk, a company which provides tools for risk analysis to optimize for risk solutions and help with OSHA, ISO, and unlimited compliance, threat, and hazard scenarios. “RAD Light My Way will certainly give end-users the peace of mind that’s often absent from outdated security systems,” Martin concluded.

The foundation of RAD Light My Way is RAD’s suite of artificial intelligence-driven security robotic devices. Each features a combination of high-resolution cameras, human and vehicle detection, license plate recognition, responsive digital signage and audio messaging, lights, sirens, and two-way communication with remote monitoring security personnel. Units are available in several form-factors: tower, wall-mounted panel, overhead device, and rugged, autonomous 4-wheeled mobile robot. These devices have already proven effective at performing many of the same tasks as onsite human guards. They deter the occurrence of crime, identify security threats, provide autonomous and human-assisted remote response, and provide “eyewitness” documentation of events via high-resolution, recorded video. Remotely monitoring personnel receive alerts whenever a device senses the motion of a human or vehicle.

“RAD Light My Way is a fantastic integration of technology that solves many parking lot security issues,” commented Jeffrey A. Slotnick, CPP, PSP, President of Setracon Enterprise Security Risk Management Services. “Almost every one of my clients has parking facilities. In the Pacific Northwest, we have short days and long nights in the winter, and often it is dark by 3:30 pm. I have spoken with many employees at various organizations. A primary concern is going from their workspace’s protected environment and out to the unprotected parking lot. It’s a cost-effective solution to a well-known problem and one I am recommending to any of my clients with parking lots.”

RAD Light My Way will be on display at ISC West, March 22-25 in Las Vegas, in RAD’s booth #31053.
