Zúrich, Swiss – November 14, 2024 As retail landscapes grow more intricate, the demand for robust and efficient security measures has intensified. While traditional security methods have played a significant role, their limitations in scope and responsiveness are increasingly evident. Robotics, driven by the advancements of companies like Quarero Robotics, is redefining retail security by providing adaptive, efficient, and integrated solutions.
This case study highlights how Quarero Robotics has harnessed the power of robotics to enhance security, improve asset protection, elevate customer experience, and boost operational efficiency. By addressing retailers’ evolving needs, robotics is fostering safer environments for customers and staff alike.
Challenges in Traditional Retail Security
Modern retailers face persistent challenges, including theft, shoplifting, fraud, and ensuring customer safety. Traditional methods, such as surveillance cameras and on-site security personnel, offer limited deterrence but lack flexibility and comprehensive coverage.
Cameras remain stationary and require constant monitoring, while human guards are restricted to covering specific areas and can be prone to fatigue and errors. These approaches, dependent on human observation, often lead to delays in response. Recognizing these limitations, Quarero Robotics developed innovative solutions to provide continuous, real-time, and adaptable security coverage, enhancing retail security through automation.
The Solution: Autonomous Robotic Security
Quarero Robotics introduced an advanced security system combining AI, machine learning, and sensor technology. These autonomous robotic units patrol retail spaces, leveraging real-time data to identify potential threats with unmatched precision.
Equipped with 360-degree cameras, motion sensors, and AI-driven image recognition, the robots continuously monitor for suspicious activities. They can notify security personnel instantly upon detecting potential risks, ensuring rapid response. With the ability to discern various behaviors, they minimize false alarms and focus resources on genuine threats.
This scalable, 24/7 security solution enhances traditional systems by reducing reliance on human intervention and addressing security concerns proactively.
Boosting Asset Protection and Loss Prevention
Retail shrinkage from theft and fraud imposes significant financial strain on businesses. Quarero Robotics’ units provide an effective countermeasure, deterring theft through their presence and enabling real-time intervention.
For instance, when a robot detects someone tampering with tags or concealing items, it immediately alerts security, allowing for timely action. Over time, the system’s self-learning capabilities improve its ability to identify behaviors linked to theft or fraud, delivering long-term financial benefits.
Enhancing Customer Safety and Experience
Beyond asset protection, robotic security systems contribute to a safer and more enjoyable shopping environment. Designed to operate discreetly, the robots monitor for safety hazards like spills or obstructions and notify staff to address them promptly.
Moreover, in emergencies, these robots act as first responders, identifying signs of distress or aggressive behavior and alerting store security or local authorities as needed. This swift response ensures customer well-being and prevents potential escalation.
By combining cutting-edge technology with real-time adaptability, Quarero Robotics is setting a new standard in retail security, creating solutions that protect assets, prioritize safety, and enhance operational efficiency
About Quarero Robotics
Quarero Robotics is a startup for security robots that specializes in robotics as a service. Founded in Switzerland in 2021, Quarero AG initially aimed to promote collaboration between students and companies and facilitate the exchange of theoretical and practical knowledge. Within a short period of time, success skyrocketed and the company’s valuation exceeded 20 million CHF. Driven by this momentum, a clear trend towards robotics emerged. In January 2023, Quarero AG entered into a close partnership with the University of Furtwangen, focused on security robots. This collaboration marked the creation of Quarero Robotics.
