SUPCON and Certis will deploy security robots in live environments for patrols, guidance, and anomaly detection, aiming to scale human-robot collaboration across Singapore and international markets.
SUPCON Technology and Certis Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement to accelerate the deployment of robots in security and public-facing service environments, the companies said Wednesday.
Certis will bring its operational expertise and customer environments to identify and scale robotics use cases. SUPCON will contribute its robotics, industrial AI and automation technologies. The goal is to move robots beyond stand-alone trials into connected workflows that support frontline teams and improve responsiveness.
“Robotics creates the greatest value when it is embedded in real operations and designed around the people, processes and environments it supports,” said Cui Shan, Chairman and President of SUPCON. “Certis brings deep operational expertise and access to diverse real-world scenarios. Through this strategic partnership, we aim to develop practical, scalable solutions that strengthen human-robot collaboration and create measurable value for customers.”
“The next phase of robotics will be defined by deployment at scale,” said Raahul Kumar, Chief Executive, International & Robotics, and Chief Strategy Officer, Certis. “At Certis, we are building the operating models, integration capabilities and partnerships required to put robots into frontline environments where they can improve productivity, responsiveness and service outcomes. Our partnership with SUPCON gives us another strong platform to accelerate that work across Singapore and our international markets.”
The companies will jointly evaluate and deploy security robots in live operating environments. The robots will handle intelligent patrols and visitor guidance. They will also provide anomaly alerts and on-site support, with remote collaboration for facility management. Certis will provide operational requirements and field data. SUPCON will refine robot functions, system integration and scenario adaptability based on deployment outcomes.
Both companies will explore how robotics connects with security platforms, digital management systems and operational workflows. The objective is to develop human-robot operating models that are predictive and responsive, with data-driven decision-making. The aim is to move beyond isolated automation toward coordinated service delivery.
The collaboration is expected to progress through pilot deployment, field evaluation, product optimisation and joint solution development. Successful use cases will be developed into repeatable solutions for deployment across suitable customer environments.
SUPCON (688777.SH, SUPCON.SW) is a global provider of industrial automation and industrial AI, headquartered in Hangzhou, China, with an international business headquarters in Singapore. The company serves more than 250 leading enterprises and 40,000 customers across process industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, power, and pulp and paper.
Certis, headquartered in Singapore, is a security services company with a global team of 28,000 employees and operations in Australia and Qatar. The company has been investing in technology-driven security solutions, including AI and robotics, to enhance its service offerings.
The partnership comes as the security industry moves toward more automated and intelligent operations. Security robots are increasingly deployed for routine patrols and monitoring, reducing the need for human guards in repetitive tasks and allowing them to focus on higher-level decision-making. The collaboration between SUPCON and Certis aims to create a template for integrating robots into live security workflows at scale.
For SUPCON, the deal provides a channel to deploy its robots in live security environments across Singapore and potentially other markets, the company said. The partnership also aligns with Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative, which promotes automation in security services. Certis gains access to SUPCON’s automation technology and robotics portfolio, which includes industrial control systems and AI platforms.
No financial terms were disclosed. The companies said they expect to begin pilot deployments in the coming months and will evaluate results before expanding to additional customer sites.
