Spot will be on patrol at the event at the iconic Manchester Central Convention Complex with live demonstrations where visitors can find out more about how robot dogs can assist with surveillance and security operations while improving safety and efficiencies.

Spot the Robot Dog

A remarkably smart robot, Spot can understand and navigate an environment independently. Using a sophisticated system of sensors, AI and machine learning, Spot can carry out autonomous missions including sensing and inspecting sites and capturing limitless, consistent data, allowing businesses to better monitor their assets and make informed decisions, whilst also freeing up employees for value-added work.

Spot provides enhanced support and improved efficiency of human patrol operations, elevating safety and security measures of stand-alone manned guarding. It can perform perimeter patrols either independently or supervised by a security team member, and can also be operated and controlled remotely via a tablet.

Machine learning capabilities enable Spot to adapt to any terrain and create a comprehensive map of its patrol area. It can effortlessly cruise over loose gravel, curbs, grass, stairs, rough terrain, and 360 degree perception allows it to avoid any obstacles.

Spot can be deployed in hazardous situations that are too dangerous, or too difficult, for human entry, reducing risk and enabling operators to safely assess suspected hazards from a safe distance.

Designed with hypersensitive sensors, Spot has the capability to detect a range of potentially dangerous warning signs including hot spots on machines or electrical conductors, water and steam leaks, gas leak or fire, radiation, vibration, and even noise anomaly detection to detect abnormal operating noises like ticking, grinding, or whirring.

By capturing frequent, high quality data that can be integrated into an asset management system to detect anomalies, businesses can gain comprehensive site visibility, turn insights into action, and avoid any downtime.

The use of autonomous robots for security is becoming more and more prevalent as technology rapidly advances. With so many features available, Spot is a great fit for many applications including manufacturing, construction, power & utilities, public safety and much more.

Paul Mather, Managing Director of Marlowe Fire & Security commented:

“We are proud to be working in partnership with Carlisle Support Services and excited to be exhibiting at the Innovation Lab event, where we will showcase our latest innovative solutions including Spot.

Innovation is at the forefront of all we do at Marlowe Fire & Security and now AI-enabled video analytics can be leveraged in more sectors than ever before to improve safety, security and operational efficiency.”

Chief Executive Officer of the event’s host, Carlisle Support Services, Paul Evans said:

“Helping organisations keep up to date with the latest solutions and technologies such as Spot the robot dog is precisely what the Innovation Lab intends to do. We are pleased to have Marlowe demonstrate Spot’s ability to carry out autonomous missions, therefore improving efficiency and elevating safety, particularly in hazardous situations.”

Andy Kelly, Director of Facilities Management & Infrastructure at Manchester Central said:

“We’re really excited to see Spot the robot dog in action at the Innovation Lab. This is another great example of how events such as this play a pivotal role in driving progress and innovation, across all business sectors. Security is a critical area for the events sector and it’s fantastic to see real cutting-edge technology, such as this, emerging to support the incredible work security teams do to ensure safe and enjoyable event experiences.”

The aims of the campaign are:

• Spread an awareness of the facts about sprinklers
• Promote a greater understanding of fire sprinkler systems in providing business and social continuity, mitigating the effects of fire with environmental and economic cost benefits.
• Support fire and rescue services to promote sprinklers in their communities, businesses and local authority forums, providing a national picture to assist in promoting fire sprinkler systems
• The target audience is people who have a responsibility for developments which care for the most vulnerable people in our communities and those whose developments or loss of them impact the social and economic wellbeing of our communities.

Fire sprinklers are widely recognised as the single most effective method for fighting the spread of fires in their early stages. NFCC and the National Fire Sprinkler Network (NFSN) carried out research to investigate the effectiveness and reliability of sprinkler systems. They found that sprinkler systems: 

• Operate on 94% of occasions demonstrating very high reliability 
• When they do operate they extinguish or contain the fire on 99% of occasion 
• In both converted and purpose-built flats, sprinklers are 100% effective in controlling fires

A well designed and installed sprinkler system will automatically detect heat from a fire, sound the alarm and release water directly onto the source of the fire. While fire detection systems alert inhabitants to a fire, a compliant sprinkler system; actively fights fires, controls and limits its advancement and helps to prevent potential disasters.

Working with certified Service Partners we provide a Sprinkler System Solution that is fully compliant with the latest standards. We deliver high quality Fire Sprinkler Installations to both the Residential and Commercial sector.

According to the mental health charity, Mind, ‘approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year’. This might include anything from anxiety and depression, to the more severe bipolar and psychotic disorders.

Whatever forms they may take, their impact can be extremely distressing; that’s is why it’s so important to bring these issues to wider public awareness and start to break down any stigmas that may still exist.

Marlowe Fire & Security is dedicated to recognising the mental health needs of its team members and providing useful and appropriate support where it is needed. Accordingly, we have instigated our regular Adult Mental Health First Aid training days; representatives from across the company come together to discuss Mental Health issues, learn from shared experiences and outline how better the business can support the Mental Health needs of our Team Members.
