Are You SOC-LESS?
17 hours agoAre You SOC-LESS?
Knightscope is announcing a new revenue-generating monitoring and response capability! Most of Knightscope's clients today have a fully staffed Security Operations Center (SOC) and that team utilizes our technology 24/7 to assist in securing the places your work, live, play and visit. However, a number of prospective clients operate without a staffed SOC and may not have the resources to put one in place.
Knightscope now offers an additional service for its Autonomous Security Robots backed by former military and law enforcement experienced professionals to provide active monitoring of alerts, audio deterrence through proactive use of our broadcast and intercom features, and escalation to 911 when required. And since law enforcement will know that the alerts have been vetted and that there is an active situation, they are better prepared to respond and are less likely to fall victim to complacency (90%+ of traditional alarms are false). We are excited to be able to continue to improve our technology offering for our clients as we grow! π€ π

An upgrade to the Knightscope Public Safety App has been released! Curious what a robot will look like dressed in your own brand? Use the configurator at www.knightscope.com/app to design your own Autonomous Security Robot (ASR) graphics (and choose a background)!
We will review the artwork to ensure that it is feasible and once approved, be sure to share it with all of your friends, colleagues and co-workers! This feature will help our Client Development team as well as our Production team get robots out faster as sometimes this process can become a bottleneck. Plus it is kinda fun. Enjoy!
P.S. If you are one of the top 3 coolest designs published on social media (and tag us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram) then we'll send you a promo code for some free stuff on the upcoming Knightscope online store!

New Sale! Kentucky Fulfillment Center Signs Deal for K5
5 days agoNew Sale! Kentucky Fulfillment Center Signs Deal for K5
Theft inside distribution centers is a widespread problem, mostly due to the difficulty of prevention. The magnitude of the scale of goods moving through the centers naturally invites thievery - when endless, countless items encircle every worker, the temptation to remove it from inventory for personal profit is high. Inbound Logistics estimates cargo and warehouse related thefts are in the $80-billion range often related to ineffective security safeguards.
Historically, two methods have proven to somewhat discourage employee theft: a clandestine, embedded security professional, and an anonymous reporting option. The former is slow and depends on the diligence and persistence of the worker. The latter is subject to abuse by disgruntled workers providing false information. Knightscope’s new 3rd Party Fulfillment Center client aims to use Autonomous Security Robots to curtail inventory theft quickly while maintaining an unassailable record of the legitimacy of any claims.
