№ FAQQuarero · Frequently asked

Answers, before you have to ask.

Eighteen questions on the model, the deployment, the compliance and the contract. Direct numbers, no marketing varnish. If your question is not here, sales DACH replies within one working day.

The model

  • 01What is Quarero, in one sentence?+

    We rent autonomous perimeter-patrol robots monthly — Robots-as-a-Service from €3,200 per month, 24-month minimum, 14-day pilot at €0 risk, 48-hour delivery.

  • 02Is this a robot purchase or a service contract?+

    A service contract. You pay a monthly flat that includes hardware, sensors, edge GPU, software updates, maintenance, spares and battery. No CapEx, no hidden line items.

  • 03How long is the minimum contract?+

    24 months minimum. After the term, the contract auto-renews 12 months at a time with 3 months notice. Longer commitments unlock up to −8 percent term discount, combinable with volume up to a total of −20 percent.

  • 04Can I try it first?+

    Yes. Every contract carries a 14-operating-day pilot clause at €0 risk. You can return without giving a reason. We bill only the operating days actually used, and dismantle the unit ourselves.

Deployment and operations

  • 05How fast can a unit be deployed?+

    48 hours from contract signature in standard cases. Sales DACH replies within one working day, on-site survey is the same week, calibration and patrol-route configuration on the day of delivery.

  • 06Where do you operate?+

    Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Direct sales coverage in all three countries — Michaela Stich (DE), Fabian Kaufmann (AT, Lead Sales DACH), Marcus Köhnlein (CH, Founding Partner). No call centre.

  • 07What happens when the robot detects something?+

    Edge AI classifies the anomaly in milliseconds and sends an alert via your channel of choice — SMS, Email, WhatsApp Business API, Telegram, Signal or voice call — within 60 seconds. Direct live-camera access included. Response stays with you, or with sister Darlot if you contract full-service.

  • 08How does it behave in bad weather?+

    QR-2 is IP65 with thermal plus LiDAR plus radar fusion. It patrols through fog, snow, rain, glare and heat. Under extreme weather it returns to the charging station automatically and resumes once conditions normalise. On sensor failure a safety stop kicks in.

  • 09What if a unit fails or gets damaged?+

    Maintenance, spares and battery are included. SLA on hardware failure: Premium 24 h on-site, Pro and Basis 72 h. Vandalism and theft are covered via your operating liability and our product liability.

Compliance

  • 10How does Quarero handle GDPR?+

    We act as processor under Art. 28 GDPR. Before deployment we sign a DPA and provide a model DPIA plus signage templates. Biometric identification is disabled by default. Recordings without an event are deleted within 48 to 72 hours.

  • 11Is Quarero suitable for KRITIS sites?+

    Yes. The KRITIS-Dachgesetz (Bundestag-Drucksache 20/9262) and NIS-2 (Directive 2022/2555) require state-of-the-art autonomous detection. Our pre-defined security concept aligns with both. Annual audit reports include incident statistics, response times, KPIs.

  • 12Do you fall under EU AI Act?+

    Yes, as a high-risk AI system from August 2026. Our detections come with a documented reasoning path that satisfies Art. 13 transparency obligations. Audit-defensible against insurers, BSI and trade associations.

  • 13What standards does the hardware meet?+

    CE Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, EN ISO 13482 (personal-care robots safety), TLS 1.3 uplink, payload encrypted at rest. Edge GPU compute keeps sensitive data on-device by default.

Pricing and contract

  • 14What does a unit cost per month?+

    Three sensor depths: QR-1 Basis from €3,200, QR-2 Pro from €3,500, QR-3 Premium from €3,800 per month, ex-VAT. Identical autonomous navigation and escalation logic across all three.

  • 15Are there volume discounts?+

    Yes. Up to −12 percent at 100+ units, up to −8 percent at 60-month term. Combinable, capped at −20 percent total.

  • 16What is included in the monthly rent?+

    Hardware, sensors, edge GPU, software updates, maintenance, spares, battery, alerting, SLA on hardware failure. No surcharges for night, weekend or holiday operation. Setup and dismantling included.

  • 17When do I pay?+

    Monthly in arrears. Pilot weeks billed pro-rata only on operating days actually used. No upfront capex, no early-termination fee within the pilot window.
