Quarero Robotics

What Quarero Robotics does

Quarero Robotics designs and operates autonomous security robots for industrial perimeters, logistics sites, critical infrastructure (KRITIS), and special sites across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Founded in Switzerland in 2021 and operating as part of the Tactical Management Ecosystem conglomerate, the company maintains its R&D and operations hub in Filderstadt near Stuttgart, Germany (Quarero Robotics Deutschland GmbH, established November 2025), with Swiss headquarters in Zug. The product portfolio comprises three robot tiers — QR-1 Basis (€3,200/month, indoor/light outdoor with RGB + audio), QR-2 Pro (€3,500/month, 24/7 outdoor with RGB + thermal + person detection), and QR-3 Premium (€3,800/month, LiDAR + drone detection for KRITIS sites over 10,000 sqm) — all delivered via a 24-month Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) contract.

The underlying platform integrates edge GPU compute, multi-modal sensor fusion (RGB day/night, thermal, solid-state LiDAR with 60m range, six ultrasonic sensors), bonded 4G/5G with WLAN backup, IP65 outdoor housing, and hot-swap battery for 24-hour patrol envelope. On-device AI classifies person, vehicle, animal, and weather artefacts in milliseconds without cloud round-trip; detection metadata flows over TLS 1.3 to standard control-room stacks (Genetec, Milestone, Siemens Siveillance, Bosch BVMS, ONVIF Profile S/T) and custom PSIMs via REST/Webhook. The company holds EN ISO 13482, EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 conformity, CE marking, TÜV SÜD type examination, KRITIS-Dachgesetz §7 and NIS-2 Art. 34 compliance, and GDPR Art. 28 processor status.

Revenue is generated through three RaaS tiers (€3,200–3,800/month per unit) plus a three-tier white-label partner program (10–25% reseller margin) targeting DACH security firms; pilot-to-contract conversion sits below 2% return rate after a 14-day free trial. Quarero operates a hybrid go-to-market combining three named direct territory sales reps (DE, AT, CH), a self-serve pricing configurator, a partner reseller channel, and an upsell path to managed security services via sister company Darlot Security. Reported unit economics claim a 5–7x cost reduction versus a €15,000–25,000/month 24/7 guard post (4.2 FTE) and a 99.2% uptime SLA; the first operational fleet deployed in March 2026, with no disclosed revenue, ARR, or active fleet size.

Revenue model

1. Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) — robot rental: Monthly OpEx rental of autonomous patrol units. Hardware, software, connectivity, maintenance, AI model updates, and hardware refresh included. Customer pays predictable fixed monthly fee with volume and term discounts up to -20% combined. Three tiers: QR-1 Basis €3,200/mo, QR-2 Pro €3,500/mo, QR-3 Premium €3,800/mo. 24-month minimum contract.
2. Partner program — margin on resale: DACH security firms purchase RaaS units at wholesale price (€3,200–3,800/month) and resell at €4,500–5,500/month, capturing €1,000–2,000/unit/month margin. Three partner tiers with escalating margins (10–25%) based on volume commitment and investment level.
3. Pilot and onboarding fees: First 14 operating days free demo. After day 14, pro-rata billing only for days used. Pilot converts to standard 24-month contract with pilot costs credited.

Core offering

Quarero Robotics designs and operates autonomous security robots (QR-1 Basis, QR-2 Pro, QR-3 Premium) for industry, logistics, critical infrastructure, and special sites in the DACH region. The company delivers these capabilities through a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) subscription model at €3,200–€3,800 per robot per month on 24-month minimum contracts, bundling hardware, AI software, maintenance, connectivity, and hardware refresh. Customers integrate the robots into their existing control rooms (Genetec, Milestone, Siemens Siveillance, Bosch BVMS) while Quarero retains ownership and operational responsibility.

Product overview

Quarero Robotics provides autonomous security robots for industrial perimeters, critical infrastructure (KRITIS), logistics, and special sites through a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. The portfolio consists of three robot models — QR-1 Basis (indoor, RGB + audio), QR-2 Pro (outdoor, RGB + thermal), and QR-3 Premium (outdoor with LiDAR + drone detection) — all operated by Quarero while customers retain control of security operations, control-room integration, and customer relationships. Pricing ranges from €3,200 to €3,800 per month per unit with 24-month minimum contracts.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• Darlot SecuritycoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerDarlot Security (darlot.co) is a sister company within the Tactical Management Ecosystem, operating as a European Sovereign Vision AI company. While Quarero provides the robotics layer, Darlot provides the full-service security operation — control room, incident assessment, and on-site response. For customers wanting more than RaaS, Darlot takes over the entire security operation. The two companies cross-refer and co-sell, creating a full-stack offering from patrol robotics to managed security services.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Allied Universal: Large North American and UK security services provider expanding technology-enabled guarding solutions — broad incumbent with overlapping capability in autonomous patrol and KRITIS-grade security for industrial customers.
• Securitas: Global security services giant combining manned guarding with electronic security and emerging robotics partnerships — represents both a potential channel partner and a broad incumbent whose bundled offering could compete with Quarero's RaaS.

Emerging players

• Boston Dynamics: Creator of Spot and Stretch, now actively marketed into security, perimeter, and industrial inspection applications — represents a high-credibility emerging entrant in autonomous security robotics with comparable sensor-fusion and outdoor capability.
• ANYbotics: Swiss-based autonomous legged robot maker (ANYmal) initially focused on industrial inspection, increasingly applied to security and perimeter monitoring in energy and process industries — comparable in industrial perimeter use case and European positioning.
• Ascento: Swiss startup building autonomous outdoor patrol robots with wheeled-legged platforms for industrial security — emerging European peer directly comparable to Quarero on geography, outdoor perimeter use case, and RaaS model.

Direct peers

• Knightscope: US-based autonomous security robot company offering indoor and outdoor patrol robots (K3, K5, K7) on a RaaS/subscription model to corporate, industrial, and government customers — the closest direct comparable to Quarero's QR-1/QR-2/QR-3 platform and customer base.
• Cobalt Robotics: Indoor autonomous security robots combining AI detection with remote human operator handoff, sold via RaaS to enterprise offices, data centers, and commercial real estate — comparable in business model and AI-driven detection stack to Quarero's QR-1 Basis.
• SMP Robotics: Manufacturer of autonomous outdoor security and perimeter patrol robots with multi-sensor payloads (cameras, thermal, LiDAR) used at industrial and critical infrastructure sites — directly comparable to Quarero's QR-2 Pro and QR-3 Premium offerings.
• Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD Group / Ondas): Autonomous security and patrol robots (ROAMEO, SCOT) plus AI-driven detection nodes targeting industrial perimeters and enterprise sites — direct competitor in autonomous outdoor security robotics.

Others

• Darlot Security: Sister company within the Tactical Management Ecosystem providing full-service security operations (control room, incident assessment, on-site response) — not a competitor but the closest ecosystem peer, demonstrating how Quarero's RaaS bundles into a full managed security offering.
