Zúrich, Switzerland – December 5, 2024 As the complexity of retail environments continues to rise, the demand for more effective and reliable security solutions has become crucial. While traditional security methods such as surveillance cameras and security guards offer some level of deterrence, they fall short in terms of reach, flexibility, and responsiveness. Robotics, particularly through innovations by companies like Quarero Robotics, is reshaping retail security by delivering more adaptive, efficient, and integrated solutions.
This case study explores how Quarero Robotics is enhancing retail security by improving asset protection, customer experience, and operational efficiency. It highlights how robotics is addressing security needs in the retail sector, creating a safer environment for both customers and staff.
Traditional Retail Security Challenges
Retailers today face a wide range of security issues, including theft, shoplifting, fraud, and customer safety concerns. While traditional security measures like cameras and security guards provide some deterrence, they are often limited in flexibility and effectiveness in dealing with these challenges.
For example, security cameras are static and offer a limited view of the surroundings, requiring constant monitoring by staff. Security guards, although essential, can only cover a small area at a time. Both methods are reliant on human observation, which is vulnerable to fatigue, errors, and delayed responses.
Recognizing these gaps, Quarero Robotics developed robotic solutions that offer continuous, adaptable, and real-time security coverage. The aim was to help retailers enhance security through automation, reduce dependence on human personnel, and adopt a more proactive security approach.
The Solution: Robotic Security Systems by Quarero Robotics
Quarero Robotics introduced an innovative robotic security system that combines cutting-edge sensor technology, AI, and machine learning to overcome the limitations of traditional retail security. These robotic units are fully autonomous, patrolling retail spaces and processing real-time data to identify potential security threats more effectively.
Equipped with 360-degree cameras, motion detectors, and AI-powered image recognition, Quarero Robotics’ units monitor the environment for unusual behavior or suspicious activities. Upon detecting a potential threat, the robot alerts security staff, enabling a faster response and minimizing risks. Additionally, the robots are trained to distinguish between different behaviors, reducing false alarms and ensuring that resources are focused on real security concerns.
This automation provides a seamless, scalable security solution that operates 24/7, complementing human personnel while minimizing human error.
Enhancing Asset Protection and Loss Prevention
A primary advantage of robotic security systems is their ability to improve asset protection and reduce losses. With retail shrinkage due to theft and fraud being a significant financial challenge, Quarero Robotics’ robots offer an essential tool for mitigating these losses.
The presence of these robots alone helps deter theft, while their ability to identify and report suspicious activity in real-time allows security personnel to intervene quickly, preventing significant losses. For example, if the robot detects someone attempting to remove security tags or hide merchandise, it can immediately notify the security team, prompting them to take appropriate action. This proactive approach significantly reduces shrinkage, offering retailers both short-term and long-term savings.
Furthermore, Quarero Robotics’ data-driven models enable the robots to learn from incidents, improving their ability to detect theft-related behaviors. Over time, this self-learning capability enhances the robots’ effectiveness in supporting retail security goals.
Improving Customer Safety and Experience
In addition to safeguarding assets, robotic security systems improve customer safety and the overall shopping experience. Designed to blend seamlessly into retail spaces, these robots provide discreet monitoring while ensuring the environment remains undisturbed. They can identify potential safety hazards such as spills or obstacles and alert staff, helping to prevent accidents and ensuring the safety of customers.
Another key feature is the robot’s ability to act as a first responder during emergencies. If the robots detect signs of distress, such as loud voices or aggressive behavior, they can alert store security or even local authorities, ensuring rapid intervention in potentially dangerous situations.
This integration of robotics into retail security not only strengthens asset protection but also enhances the overall customer experience, making retail spaces safer for both staff and shoppers.
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.
