Robots: Providing Security and Great Tenant and Visitor Experiences (Room Exhibit Hall, Showcase Room 1)

When Brookfield Property Partners redeveloped its Allen Center “The Acre” complex in downtown Houston, the goal was to create a friendlier and more inviting area for tenants and to make it available to the public. Their challenge was a cost-effective security solution that would create a safe and positive experience for staff and visitors, without increasing costs in manpower and training. That solution was the Knightscope K5 robot. Not only is the K5 a “selfie” must on most days, it’s encouraged tenants to focus more on security and provides Brookfield with important real-time, on-site data which is used to identify concerns and alert staff to potential problems.
