Mobile security robots increase safety, security and productivity

Safety and security issues are growing

Society for most people is safer from property crime and violent crime today than ever. But many companies that handle high-value goods or operate in high-risk areas face growing security risks and rising security and litigation costs.

For companies confronting security issues, the threats are more complex and the consequences are more serious. Many companies suffer business disruptions due to fire, theft, intruders, hazards, accidents and weather. Safety incidents can harm employees or customers. The outcomes can be expensive losses, costly litigation, and damaged reputation.

Traditional safety and security practices are less effective against organized crime groups and opportunistic criminals than are modern security systems with all-digital equipment, integrated communications, and software analysis.

Maintaining effective physical security keeps getting harder while deploying traditional security forces keeps getting more expensive. It is more difficult to attract and retain dependable employees or contractors for performing security duties reliably and effectively.

Public police budget constraints mean lower or no response to property crimes. Life safety is most important, so commercial property crime is treated at a lower priority.

Companies must find new and cost-effective ways to protect their property and people. Advanced security methods can prevent and deter today's threats and adapt to tomorrow's threats.

Security systems are becoming smarter and more effective

Recent advances in technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence are well-suited to security systems for preventing crime and protecting people and property.

Manned guards excel at certain activities, such as human interaction. Humans perform poorly at other security activities where they are prone to fatigue, distraction, error or temptation.

An advanced security system integrates with and enhances the customer’s operations. It sees things, analyzes data, and raises alerts that humans can not. Employees feel safer and worry less about security, so they can focus more on their work. Customers feel safer and want to stay at your premises and do more business with you.

Advanced technology security systems now protect property more effectively than traditional security systems and practices.

Why use a mobile robot for physical security?

The main benefits of using mobile robots for security are increased safety, security and productivity.

Mobile robots with cameras and sensors can efficiently and reliably monitor facilities 24/7, at night, and in bad weather. They can report more detail and respond quickly to security and safety incidents. Robots can not be injured or killed during a crime or in an accident.

They can patrol inside buildings, over grounds, and in parking lots on a regular or irregular schedule. Robot patrols can go where manned patrols would not go or should not go.

Employing mobile robots can reduce security staff turnover because they can be reallocated to do more valuable work or have more rewarding jobs. The employees reduce their physical fatigue, mental fatigue, and workplace accidents.

The cost-per-hour or cost-per-area of using mobile security robots to provide effective security is less than the cost of using purely manned security patrol and monitoring.

Mobile robots can support corporate operations and increase productivity by performing tasks normally done by employees or not at all, such as inspection, recording or delivery.

Mobile robots can be deployed, or redeployed, quickly and flexibly depending on the situation, either in emergency or non-emergency.

Companies that start using mobile security robots now will have an advantage over those who stay with pure manned security systems. The primary benefits are increased safety and security. Secondary benefits are improved operations, fewer disruptions, and happier (safer) employees.

Movaguard - Intelligent Security Robot System

We are developing an intelligent mobile security robot system for surveillance and patrol. It is designed to prevent, observe and report crime and safety incidents. It will integrate with and augment existing security systems and manned security activities. It will support and improve existing operations.

Our objective is to provide advanced protection of people and property that is effective, reliable and affordable.

The Movaguard Intelligent Security Robot System enables the security team to perform their security and safety functions more effectively. It improves operational productivity by helping employees work more efficiently and reducing workplace disruptions.

Our robot system works together with security systems and personnel as a force multiplier. Personnel have more time for real security work where they can be most effective. Security systems are less burdened with false alarms and non-security incidents so they can respond to true events faster.

Using mobile security robots increases the safety, security and productivity of facilities, employees and customers. Its lower security costs means savings in direct labor and related costs.

Developing an intelligent security robot system is a challenge for us. But we are confident the biggest obstacle is not technology. It is the integration with other systems and with humans. The system must be accepted and trusted by the operators and staff.

Our plans

We are eagerly working toward providing progressive companies with an advanced security robot system.

We welcome your comments and suggestions for making our intelligent robot security system ideal for your operations.

We are looking for organizations to participate in our pilot program for field trial:

• Large property owners with high-value operations or products. Or operate in high-crime areas.
• Security service providers with large clients who would benefit from a mobile security robot system.
