Series production of intelligent safety robots
The Swiss robotics start-up Quarero is bringing its AI-supported security robots into series production, with manufacturing in Germany and a clear expansion target. The autonomous robots are set to redefine security solutions in cities, industry and critical infrastructures.
Founded in 2021, the startup begins series production of its highly developed security robots. Developed in Switzerland and produced in Germany, this combination of innovative strength and manufacturing excellence is set to change the European security market. The first 50 systems are scheduled to go into operation in 2025.
CEO Marcus Köhnlein sees the project as an infrastructure measure for a smarter future. “This is more than just robotics, we are delivering scalable systems that rethink security autonomously and reliably.” The robots are designed for complex environments such as airports, logistics centers or smart cities and work autonomously, supported by real-time analysis and predictive diagnostics.
Automated security
With rising urban risks and increasing staff shortages in the security industry, the demand for automated solutions is growing. The robots provide an answer – scalable, flexible and low-maintenance. Their modular design allows them to be adapted to different locations, from industrial sites to university campuses.
The business model is based on “Robot-as-a-Service” and offers customers high-performance safety solutions with a low barrier to entry. Real-time data, continuous learning and high uptime are integral components of the system.
Growth strategy and financing round launched
A new investment round has been launched for the next phase: scaling, market expansion and international launch. The aim is to expand production to 300 systems by 2027. The company is currently focusing on Europe, but has long-term plans for global expansion.
The start-up is managed by an experienced team. CEO Marcus Köhnlein brings management experience from digitalization and innovation projects. CTO Christoph Uhrhan is a professor of robotics at Furtwangen University, where he heads the robotics laboratory. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is Andreas R. Sarasin, former partner at a renowned Swiss private bank and member of the Board of Directors at uniqueFeed.
