Announcement
On August 12, 2026, SUPCON Technology Co., Ltd. (listed as 688777.SH, SUPCON.SW) and Singapore‑based Certis Group announced a strategic cooperation agreement aimed at accelerating the validation, deployment and operational integration of robotics within security and public‑facing service environments. The press release, issued via PRNewswire from Singapore, outlines a joint effort to move robots beyond isolated trials into connected workflows that support frontline teams, improve responsiveness, ensure service consistency and enable data‑driven operational management.
Collaboration Details
Certis will contribute its operational expertise, customer environments and integrated operations capabilities, providing operational requirements, field data and real‑world scenarios. SUPCON will supply its robotics, industrial AI and automation technologies, refining robot functions, system integration and scenario adaptability based on deployment outcomes. The collaboration will proceed through pilot deployment, field evaluation, product optimisation and joint solution development, with successful use cases intended to become repeatable solutions for broader customer rollout.
Two primary areas of focus are identified: Real‑world validation and deployment, covering security robots for intelligent patrols, visitor and personnel guidance, anomaly alerts, on‑site support, remote collaboration and facility or precinct management; and Integrated service models, exploring connections between robotics, security platforms, digital management systems and operational workflows to create predictive, responsive and data‑driven human‑robot operating models.
