TOMI Environmental Targets Drone-Enabled SteraMist® Technology for High-Growth AI, Autonomous Robotics and Biosecurity Markets

New Drone, Robotics and AI-Enabled Deployment Initiatives Could Expand SteraMist Applications Across Robo-Taxis, Critical Infrastructure, Agriculture, Transportation and Public Health as Ebola, Hantavirus, Norovirus and Other Emerging Pathogens Drive Demand for Automated Biosecurity Solutions FREDERICK, Md., June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. ® ("TOMI") (NASDAQ: TOMZ ), a global leader in disinfection and decontamination solutions, today highlighted the growing opportunity for drone-enabled, robotic and AI-powered deployment of its SteraMist ® technology platform as industries worldwide increasingly seek automated solutions for pathogen control, infection prevention and biosecurity. The initiative reflects TOMI's broader vision of combining advanced disinfection technology with artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, robotics and next-generation deployment platforms capable of delivering biosecurity solutions at unprecedented scale. As concerns grow over emerging infectious disease threats—including Ebola virus outbreaks, rising norovirus cases, hantavirus infections and other highly transmissible pathogens—governments, healthcare providers, transportation operators, agricultural producers and critical infrastructure owners are seeking faster, smarter and more scalable methods to protect people, facilities and supply chains. The Convergence of AI, Robotics, Drones and Biosecurity Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming the operating system behind the next generation of autonomous technologies. From self-driving vehicles and robotic warehouses to drone fleets and smart infrastructure, AI is increasingly being used to automate complex tasks, improve operational efficiency and enhance real-time decision making. TOMI believes the future of pathogen control may increasingly leverage AI-powered autonomous systems capable of identifying contamination risks, coordinating robotic deployment platforms and executing disinfection protocols with minimal human intervention. As artificial intelligence continues to drive adoption of robotics, drones and autonomous infrastructure, TOMI believes automated biosecurity solutions may become an increasingly important component of the AI-powered economy. "The future of disinfection is increasingly autonomous," said Dr. Halden Shane CEO of TOMI Environmental Solutions. "As AI, drones, robotics and autonomous systems become integrated into everyday operations, automated pathogen-control solutions may become an essential component of public health, transportation, food safety and critical infrastructure protection." Drone-Based Deployment Could Unlock New Markets The rapid adoption of drone technology is transforming industries ranging from agriculture and logistics to infrastructure inspection, emergency response, defense and environmental monitoring. TOMI believes drone-enabled deployment of SteraMist ® technology could create significant opportunities across large-scale environments where traditional manual disinfection methods may be costly, time-consuming or difficult to deploy. Potential future applications include: Agricultural and food safety operations Fruit and vegetable production facilities Airports and transportation hubs Ports and shipping terminals Warehouses and logistics centers Public venues and stadiums Utility and water infrastructure Emergency outbreak response operations Military and government facilities Disaster recovery environments Remote and hard-to-access locations By leveraging drones as deployment platforms, ...
