Security & inspection

Patrol, inspection, night rounds

Quadruped robots for perimeter patrol, infrastructure inspection and night rounds. For industrial sites, warehouses, data centers and oil & gas facilities.

What gets automatedS·01

Typical processes for robotisation

◢ SCOPE · IND-SECURITY05 PROC · 03 CLASS
  1. P·01

    Regular perimeter patrol on a route

  2. P·02

    Industrial infrastructure inspection (pipelines, cabling, equipment)

  3. P·03

    Night rounds with thermal imaging and LIDAR

  4. P·04

    Anomaly detection — unusual temperature, leaks, motion

  5. P·05

    Data feed into video / SCADA

Example configurationS·02

How it comes together as a project.

A 38-hectare logistics park: a dock station + Matrice 350 with a thermal camera. Night rounds every 2 hours across 14 waypoints; an IR-sensor alarm means takeoff within 90 seconds with a live feed to the guard post. The security shift was reduced by two posts with no loss of coverage.

◬ LimitsS·03

Where robots don't help yet

OPERATIONAL LIMITS / OUT OF SCOPE
◬ Limits
  • Doesn't replace a guard physically — it's a sensor, not a force response

  • Complex built-up environment (factories with moving structures) — reliability drops

  • Regulation around autonomous security systems — country-dependent

  • Autonomy time — 2—4 hours depending on model and load

✗ Where we don't operate

To save your time and ours, we name the tasks we don't cover upfront. If your case mainly overlaps with one of these — we're likely not the right partner.

  • Alarm response and physical perimeter security

  • Security-industry licensing

  • Integration with government surveillance systems

  • Hiring and training of on-site guards

Reference casesS·04

The same class of solution already runs in this industry

Our job is to open access to the same class of equipment and integration for a site of your size, with local service.

Questions for an estimateS·05

What we need to know to give a concrete estimate

These parameters drive configuration and budget. If you know some of them — that's already enough to start the conversation.

INPUTS FOR ESTIMATEQ · 05
  1. 01
