Robotic Assistance Devices and weSECURE sign strategic distribution agreement

Robotic Assistance Devices, an innovator in artificial intelligence and robotics, announced that weSECURE Robotics has joined the growing list of RAD authorised partners. weSECURE, which delivers robotic solutions that increase operational efficiencies, boasts a strong penetration in the oil and gas industry, and will extend RAD’s presence in strategic vertical markets.

Cost-effective solution

The addition of RAD artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to the weSECURE Robotics portfolio provides customers with a cost-effective solution to augment traditional manned guard services. RAD robotics serves as a force multiplier and removes security personnel from potentially dangerous situations, reducing liability. Additionally, the robotic guard costs approximately 50 percent less per hour than traditional guards, resulting in significant long-term savings.

“The addition of RAD’s highly customised robotic solutions further extends options for our customers in perimeter security, critical infrastructure, and other emerging markets,” said Jim Larson, COO, weSECURE. “By leveraging the enhanced capabilities of RAD technologies, our customers will gain even greater awareness into their security posture to enable faster and more effective incident response and more accurate decisions.”

Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence

“We continue to look for new ways to ensure the highest level of safety through strategic partnerships with technology leaders,” said Steve Reinharz, Co-Founder and President, RAD. “Our partnership with weSECURE allows customers to leverage the power of AI as part of a robust, comprehensive solution that is agile enough to meet the unique and changing dynamics of today’s organisations.”

Founded in 2016, RAD is a privately funded, high-tech start-up that is an exclusive partner of SMP Robotics, based in San Francisco.
