About
About Certis
Certis integrates robots into security and facilities operations alongside command software and staffed services. Wheeled platforms extend indoor and outdoor patrol coverage, quadrupeds address uneven or difficult terrain, and service robots support visitor engagement and wayfinding. Their sensing systems generate observations and alerts as they move through a site.
Those outputs feed into the same operational command view used by human teams, helping coordinate patrols, detections and responses. Robots can perform route scans, environmental checks and video-analytics tasks, while officers handle judgement and personal interaction. Certis’s role is to configure and operate this combined service around the site, connecting robotic equipment with existing facilities processes and response teams.
