SafeEVAC and Unlimited Technology Forge Alliance to Deploy AI-Powered Evacuation Systems Nationwide

JASPER, Ind. – March 19, 2026 – A new strategic partnership is set to overhaul emergency preparedness in schools, public facilities, and critical infrastructure across the United States. SafeEVAC, an innovator in intelligent life-safety systems, has joined forces with Unlimited Technology, a veteran security integrator, to accelerate the national deployment of an AI-powered evacuation platform designed to replace outdated emergency protocols with real-time, dynamic guidance.

The collaboration announced today will see Unlimited Technology manage the sales, installation, and maintenance of SafeEVAC's systems, leveraging its extensive experience to bring this next-generation safety technology to a broad market, with a significant focus on the nation's schools.

Beyond the Static Exit Sign: A New Paradigm in Emergency Response

For decades, emergency evacuations have been dictated by static infrastructure: blaring alarms and simple, unchanging exit signs. These systems, while compliant with historical safety codes, often contribute to confusion and panic in a real crisis, offering no information about the nature or location of a threat. SafeEVAC's platform aims to fundamentally change this dynamic by turning passive building components into an active, intelligent safety network.

At the core of the system are multi-patented Intelligent Exit Signs. These devices are far more than simple signs; they are integrated hubs equipped with 180-degree cameras, directional microphones, powerful speakers, and dynamic visual indicators. Using AI-driven audio and visual sensors, the system can detect potential threats, such as gunshots, in real-time.

Once a threat is identified, the platform moves beyond a simple alarm. It provides clear, adaptive instructions through both verbal commands and visual cues. Dynamic, illuminated arrows guide occupants along the safest route, which can change in real-time as a situation evolves. The system uses a color-coded lighting scheme to provide instant situational awareness: green indicates a safe path, red marks a danger zone to be avoided, blue signals a designated shelter-in-place area, and yellow urges caution. This approach is designed to cut through the chaos of an emergency, providing clear, actionable intelligence when seconds matter most. The entire network is monitored by a 24/7 operations center, where trained personnel can analyze live data, communicate directly with building occupants through the signs, and provide critical information to first responders.

A Critical Need: Modernizing Safety in America's Schools

The partnership places a strong emphasis on deploying this technology within K-12 schools and higher education campuses, environments where the stakes for occupant safety are profoundly high. Traditional lockdown and evacuation drills often rely on static plans that may be ineffective against dynamic threats. The SafeEVAC system is designed to address this vulnerability by providing adaptive responses tailored to the specific emergency.

"Schools deserve the same level of intelligent, integrated safety infrastructure that we deploy in federal facilities and enterprise environments," said John Petruzzi Jr., CEO of Unlimited Technology. "SafeEVAC's platform brings real-time guidance and adaptive response to environments where the stakes could not be higher. Unlimited Technology is proud to bring that capability to the K-12 communities we serve, giving students, staff, and first responders the situational awareness they need when it matters most."

The system's ability to facilitate two-way communication and provide first responders with live data, such as threat location and room occupancy, can dramatically shorten response times and improve the effectiveness of emergency personnel. By transforming buildings from passive structures into active partners in safety, the technology aims to empower occupants and protectors alike.

The Strategic Alliance for National Expansion

This partnership is a classic example of a technology innovator teaming up with an established integration powerhouse to achieve scale. SafeEVAC brings the cutting-edge, AI-powered platform, while Unlimited Technology, founded in 1989, provides the crucial infrastructure for widespread adoption. With deep expertise across critical sectors—including federal government, commercial real estate, and education—Unlimited Technology has the market reach and technical know-how to implement these complex systems effectively.

Their role will extend beyond simple installation. The firm will provide comprehensive sales, implementation, and ongoing maintenance support, ensuring that each deployment meets the highest standards of reliability and performance. This end-to-end service model is critical for building trust with institutions responsible for public safety.

"As we focus our innovative AI-powered technology and patented intelligent evacuation solutions on protecting lives and enhancing emergency response in schools, campuses, workplaces, and critical facilities, we are proud to announce our partnership with Unlimited Technology," stated Cade Knies, CEO of SafeEVAC. "Unlimited Technology's extensive experience in systems integration, customer relationships, and delivering enterprise-level security solutions for commercial and federal government clients is well-recognized across the industry. We are excited to collaborate with them to expand the reach and impact of our life-saving technology."

Navigating Compliance and Proving Efficacy

While revolutionary, the introduction of such advanced technology into the highly regulated field of life safety requires careful navigation of existing codes and standards. The system is designed not to replace, but to "augment and make better" the existing fire and safety infrastructure mandated by bodies like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL). The "certified exit signage" mentioned in the announcement points to a commitment to meeting these stringent requirements.

To validate its performance under realistic conditions, SafeEVAC's technology has been tested at facilities like the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, a sprawling complex used by the Department of Defense to simulate complex, real-world emergency scenarios. This rigorous testing is essential for proving the system's reliability and efficacy before deployment in public spaces. The partnership with Unlimited Technology, a company well-versed in compliance for federal and critical infrastructure projects, further strengthens the platform's position as a viable, enterprise-grade solution.

Together, the two companies aim to build a new national standard for safety, creating an interconnected network of buildings that can intelligently respond to threats. This collaboration signals a significant step towards a future where public spaces are not just equipped for emergencies, but are active participants in ensuring human safety.
