Who

Cobalt's Robotic Safety Automation platform automates safety checks and replaces indoor security guards, integrating with major companies to capture Physical Security, Facilities Management, and Visitor Management markets. Our solution delivers superior safety, high efficiency, saves costs, and offers opportunities for expansion into other industries.

Despite technological advances, many jobs could be more exciting, clean, and dangerous, offering limited career advancement and low wages. Moreover, people worldwide are re-evaluating what work means to them, and it's never been more critical for people to find an organization where they feel like they belong. While companies have begun emphasizing culture, too often, they need help to care for their people. With mass shootings and workplace accidents, millions of Americans are still concerned about safety daily. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs suggests that improving safety is necessary for a strong company culture. Cobalt is the largest remote-guarding solution globally and has created the Robotic Safety Automation (RSA) category. Our platform automates the repetitive, mundane checks required to protect lives and provide peace of mind. Our robots make safety as expected as water coming out of a faucet. Our primary application is to replace indoor security guards by providing remote guard services. Our robots allow customers to improve their observation and reporting, deliver better interactions, and help more people. They do this by using a combination of Machine Learning and human judgment. Due to the diverse taskings of security guards, we have several other applications that help our customers replace guard posts and save money. Integrations with companies like Envoy, Genetic, Slack, Otis, and LenelS2 have enabled our world-class solution to achieve widespread acclaim and win numerous awards. Our platform addresses the Physical Security, Facilities Management, and Visitor Management markets. Managing safety across many sites with traditional models is difficult, costly, and still leaves gaps in coverage. Security and Facilities leadership experience these difficulties regularly and want an integrated solution that works with their existing systems without the complications of guards and deficiencies of other tech solutions. In addition to the Physical Security, Facilities Management, and Visitor Management markets, our technology-enabled service provider in the security vertical is well-positioned to address other service opportunities, including retail, logistics, and janitorial applications. Cobalt is committed to making workplaces safer and more fulfilling for everyone while reducing costs and increasing business efficiency.

The functional/user-related benefits of this product:

Cobalt Robotics offers numerous benefits, including reducing safety issues by drastically reducing response times, improving reporting with less distraction, and identifying, improving, and analyzing workflow execution. Our platform also enables customers to get the most out of their existing enterprise stack by removing the need for human involvement in time-consuming tasks and processes while building reliability and flexibility in daily operations. Additionally, our platform provides localized environmental information. It saves money by replacing guards with robots that cost half as much, allowing companies to reduce their G&A costs or reallocate the security budget to serve their employees better.

How the Experience differs from its competition:

Cobalt's Robotic Safety Automation platform differs from its competition in several ways. Unlike guards, our robots are not subject to high turnover rates or HR issues, as they are not human workers. Instead, our robots offer a reliable and efficient solution that eliminates the need for low-wage guards and reduces the difficulty of finding, hiring, training, and managing them. Additionally, our platform integrates seamlessly with customers' security software, keeping a record of every event, which can be easily searched and retrieved. In contrast, guard reports of building tours are often kept on paper and not easily accessible. Furthermore, while camera analytics are limited in technology and coverage, our robots use computer vision and AI to execute tasks just as humans would, enabling them to interact with employees and perform time-consuming tasks and processes.
