Knightscope Receives New Contract for Three Autonomous Security Robots
April 29, 2022 | Business WireEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Knightscope, Inc., a developer of advanced physical security technologies focused on enhancing U.S. security operations, announced that a San Francisco Bay Area biotech real estate development has subscribed to 2 Knightscope K5 ASRs and 1 K1 ASR to enhance its amenity-rich real estate project and underscore the importance of public safety in a highly regulated environment.
Biotech firms, like any other type of business, need to be protected from break-ins, vandalism, and other intrusions. Unlike other types of companies, however, some criminals choose to break into biotech companies due to the incentive to steal (and sell) research samples causing irreparable damage in the form of lost intellectual property. Break-ins may also lead to the damage of expensive physical property like rented or owned lab equipment and valuable electronics.
Random vandalism can turn into targeted vandalism, especially if companies have dealt with criticism or protests about specific research activities. Knightscope will patrol a parking garage and monitor the common areas of this new client to help protect the physical and intellectual property under development at this high-tech facility along with the workers who are helping our communities lead healthier lives.

The Right Approach: I Hear the Train A Comin'
04/25/2024 | Steve Williams -- Column: The Right ApproachTraining is often an afterthought in many organizations, and the longer a company has been in business, the more this seems to apply. Over the past couple of decades, it has been amazing to observe that the biggest offenders of this are the companies that overuse the sound bite, “Our most important assets are our people.” When you dig into the process and peel back the onion, their commitment to training is not commensurate with that statement.
