Retail loss prevention robots
Robots patrolling stores and parking lots to deter theft.
People ask for this as: “parking lot security robot retail”
How it works
Robots used
- Security Robot
Ways to buy it
- Raas — a subscription covering robot, software and support.
- Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).
- Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
Bot or Not?
A robot makes sense when…
- The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
- It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you will compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human when…
- It is small, low and one-off
- It needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
Here's the catch for this job
- Robots supplement guards; clarify who responds to alerts.
- Compare monthly RaaS to guard hourly cost for the same coverage.
