In the demanding context of private security, unexpected and promising partners are emerging, ready to complement human expertise and redefine security standards: mobile robots like the GR100. This meeting of human expertise and technology represents a significant advance in the field of security, creating a powerful alliance that promises to meet contemporary challenges with greater efficiency. Let’s delve into the complex world of security officers and find out how the GR100 robot fits in to strengthen defences and meet modern security challenges.
Managers, heads of department, engineers, firefighters, directors or HSE/QHSE – they all work in the complex world of private security and safety and need to be equipped with a range of essential skills. Organisation and rigour are paramount to ensure flawless management of risks and emergency situations. Responsiveness and flexibility enable security managers to adapt quickly to changing scenarios, while responsiveness and listening to others promote effective communication with teams and stakeholders. Communication skills are crucial for conveying clear messages to management, staff and external relations, thereby reinforcing the safety culture within the organisation.
Looking at the operational reality of security officers, it is fascinating to note that almost 20% of them have technical and general responsibilities in addition to their security duties.
In this demanding field, 46% devote an impressive proportion (80%) of their daily time to security. The diversity of tasks is clear, with 34% devoting between 50% and 80% of their time to safety, while a minority of less than 50% allocate their time to safety responsibilities*.
What if robotic surveillance and inspection could meet these challenges and optimise the work of safety and security teams, while enhancing the value of their missions? To answer this question, let’s introduce the GR100 autonomous patrol robot.
Designed to support the work of security guards and managers, it represents a technological extension of existing operational capabilities.
It offers a series of advantages that strengthen operators’ arsenal, combining cutting-edge technology with human expertise. Here’s how the GR100 can help security officers:
The GR100 provides constant surveillance, making up for periods when the men are on call, already on rounds in a specific area, or away from their posts. The robot patrols day and night, whatever the weather conditions.
With extended mobility, the GR100 can patrol hard-to-reach areas, increasing security coverage.
This autonomous robot is not simply a passive observer. It is integrated into surveillance processes, becoming an operational extension of human security teams. Equipped with sophisticated sensors, the GR100 reacts quickly to potential threats, enabling operators to intervene proactively. Alerts are sent directly in the event of detection of a person or abnormal measured values...
The mobile robot requires no installation to be set up on site. What's more, it integrates easily into existing safety procedures, minimising disruption and maximising efficiency.
Thanks to its automatic measurements (gas, meter, gauge, etc.), the GR100 records precise data, helping to analyse risks and optimise protection strategies.
By taking over time-consuming tasks, the autonomous robot frees up time for security staff, allowing them to concentrate on more strategic missions. In fact, it frees up time for the people in charge, allowing them to concentrate on more strategic missions.
The GR100 robot is helping to enhance the role of security officers by boosting their capabilities and positioning them as leaders in the adoption of innovative technologies.
The robot reduces the risks associated with isolated workers, as well as the risk of aggression. It enables staff to remotely check for signs of danger before intervening.
Given the difficulty of recruiting qualified staff, the GR100 guarantees a constant presence.
Using the robot helps to optimise costs by reducing the need for additional security staff in certain tedious or time-consuming situations. What's more, its constant presence on site quickly pays for itself, especially at night and at weekends.
In a world where security has become a major concern for businesses, the alliance between human expertise and GR100 robot technology is emerging as an essential response to today’s challenges. At the heart of this convergence are security officers, seasoned professionals dedicated to protecting people and property within companies. As part of this evolution, the GR100 robot is emerging as an innovative partner, combining technological efficiency with human experience to meet today’s security challenges. This innovative human-robot alliance will undoubtedly take modern private security to new horizons!
