Cobalt Robotics, a pioneer in machine learning automation for security and facility tasks, has broadened its collaboration with Ally Financial, a prominent financial services provider renowned for its all-digital banking services and auto financing solutions.

In response to the post-pandemic return to work dynamics, Ally initiated the deployment of Cobalt robots for security patrols and facility maintenance checks at its Charlotte, NC office. Encouraged by the success witnessed, Ally has extended the integration of Cobalt robots to its Jacksonville, FL offices, with plans for further expansion to its Lewisville, TX locations later in 2023.

Amidst challenges such as labor shortages, Ally, like many enterprises, has turned to automation to streamline operations. Cobalt's implementation in Charlotte demonstrated substantial returns on investment within the initial weeks, with each Cobalt robot delivering cost savings equivalent to two-thirds of a security officer's expenses.

Bill Davis, Senior Director of Physical Security at Ally's Charlotte office, expressed satisfaction with the outcomes, stating, "Cobalt robots not only provide significant cost savings but also offer invaluable assistance during challenging times."

Ally relies on Cobalt robots to fortify security measures and ensure workplace safety. In instances such as detecting elevated carbon monoxide levels in a secured parking structure or identifying unauthorized personnel onsite, Cobalt robots swiftly alerted the Security Operations Center (SOC), facilitating prompt remedial actions.

Mike LeBlanc, President and COO of Cobalt Robotics, commended Ally's proactive approach to leveraging AI-powered robots for operational efficiency and safety enhancement. He emphasized Cobalt's commitment to augmenting workplace security and expressed enthusiasm for further collaboration with Ally to shape the future of work environments.

Cobalt Robotics stands at the forefront of driving robot adoption among modern enterprises, offering AI-based solutions to automate security operations and elevate safety standards in workplaces. Through strategic partnerships like the one with Ally Financial, Cobalt continues to spearhead innovations that redefine the paradigm of workplace security and automation.
