Knightscope is Disrupting the Physical Security Space with Technology That Makes Humans Better

It is common knowledge that when individuals come together as a team, they are stronger. The collective knowledge pool is greater, and when channeled effectively, productivity is enhanced that much more. When a strong team is layered with strong technology, then capabilities tend to reach new heights. In the world of physical security, technology in the form of software and hardware are transforming how we monitor and protect the spaces around us. Case in point is Knightscope, a Silicon Valley-based innovator whose autonomous robots are transforming the physical security space.

The recent announcement that Knightscope and Securitas Security Services USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Securitas AB (SECU-B.ST) are extending their channel partner agreement three years into February 2020 further validates the demand of this market shift. In fact, Knightscope and Securitas have been working together over the past year and have successfully deployed Knightscope’s security robots at several key Securitas accounts in California. Knightscope’s robots are great deterrents because they work 24/7 and can process 90 terabytes of data a year.

While Knightscope robots are currently only operating in California, the company is looking to go nationwide, and the deal with Securitas continues to demonstrate the capabilities of Knightscope’s robots to potential clients and the public. Contract negotiations in a number of locations outside of California are underway on the east coast, midwest and in the south.

“Knightscope is re-defining physical security with our technologies,” says William Santana Li, chairman and CEO, Knightscope, Inc. “Imagine delivering capabilities to the fingertips of security guards that may appear almost ‘superhuman’, providing greater situational awareness and a tremendous advantage over what could be accomplished without Knightscope’s technology. Our software+hardware+humans approach is working and we look forward to continuing to collaborate with Securitas.”
