For some people, the idea of having a security robot in the workplace might still sound years away. Many people’s ideas of what a security robot looks like and the types of tasks it can perform are often shaped by oversimplified media representations and viral social memes about malfunctioning robots.
But the truth is far more advanced than you might think.
Contemporary security robots for commercial spaces offer business owners significant peace of mind, and their role extends well beyond basic perimeter patrols.
Keep reading to discover how security robots, like Australian Robot Technology’s Tim and Harry, are levelling up security tasks throughout Australia.
5 Key Tasks Security Robots Can Support With
One of the most powerful benefits of visible security is its deterrent effect. Security robots offer an authoritative presence that traditional security measures simply can’t match. But while a visible presence is vital, Tim and Harry can assist with much more.
1. Patrol and monitor large spaces.
Security robots autonomously navigate your workplace or facility around the clock, covering ground that would require multiple human guards to replicate, consistently and without fatigue. Their programmed patrol routes ensure no area is ever overlooked.
2. Detect patterns and threats in real-time.
Equipped with facial recognition, number plate recognition and advanced cameras, our security robots know exactly who is moving through your facility. If something suspicious is detected, your security team is instantly alerted with live video feeds and detailed notifications, while the patrol continues uninterrupted.
3. Generate detailed incident reports.
Every event is logged accurately and automatically, removing the risk of human error and creating a reliable audit trail. These reports can be accessed on demand, giving your team a clear, timestamped record of all activity across your site.
4. Gather data for future security-proofing.
Over time, AI-powered security robots can build a rich picture of activity across your site, helping you identify vulnerabilities and any recurring risk patterns. This data empowers you to make smarter, evidence-based decisions that strengthen your security approach in the long term.
5. Reduce costs without compromising coverage.
Deploying security robots alongside your existing team allows you to extend coverage without the overhead of additional staff. Security robots deliver consistent, high-quality monitoring at a fraction of the cost of scaling a human security operation.
Tips For Introducing Security Robots to Your Workplace
Introducing security robots to your site doesn’t need to be overly complicated. Our dedicated team is on hand to assist with initial setup and floor plan mapping, guiding you through the process so you can rest assured that your security robots are doing what you need them to from day one.
A few tips to help with this process include:
- Consider what you need security robots to do: Think about your reasons for introducing security robots. Spend some time working with your existing team to map out the core tasks that security robots can perform, ensuring they’re integrated to support and strengthen existing workflows.
- Let your existing wider workforce know: Before bringing the security robots on board, talk to your team about what the robots will do, their role, and how they will help create a safer workplace for them and the wider community.
- Book a live demo: A demo offers you a chance to see our security robots in action. It’s the perfect opportunity to see just how responsive they are and what they can offer your workplace or facility.
