Cobalt Robotics, an American firm automating repetitive manual security and facility tasks with robots, has integrated mobile video calling systems with its platform to connect staff and visitors with a live employee from the organisation or security team from Cobalt’s Command Centre.
The real-time video can be activated when the robot is patrolling, with Cobalt teams available 24/7.
Large enterprises with satellite offices scattered across the country still need to maintain a high level of security, communications and availability to all staff and visitors as they enter buildings. Cobalt added its new enterprise mobile video chat makes connections to an organisation’s headquarters easy and communications more personal for all employees to stay better connected with one another.
Furthermore, Cobalt’s autonomous patrolling and 60+ sensors facilitate continuous data collection throughout a facility, providing insight into security, safety, and facility trends over time. Its detailed and customisable Daily Security Reports (DSRs) provide customers with actionable real-time information.
“As employers navigate the return to the office, security, uniform access control, and consistent communications for all employees, regardless of location, is paramount,” said Mike LeBlanc, Chief Operating Officer of Cobalt Robotics.
“Cobalt is fulfilling a critical gap for businesses that need round-the-clock security and facility maintenance tasks complete; these are often repetitive, mundane tasks like checking doors and alarms that can be automated, so guards can spend time on jobs that require empathy, judgment, and creativity.
“Our service also provides more consistent data, historical analysis, and detailed reporting to organisations. We are excited to add new features like enterprise mobile video chat so large enterprises can make communications and access control for a distributed workforce smooth and help employees feel connected as they transition back to physical offices.”
