# Quarero Robotics
> Autonomous perimeter security · Robotics-as-a-Service across DACH · engineered in Germany, governed in Switzerland.

Quarero Robotics designs, manufactures and operates autonomous patrol robots (QR-2 Mk1, branded the Stingray) for industrial perimeters, logistics yards, and KRITIS-classified critical infrastructure across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The product is a service contract under the Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model — not a robot purchase. Pricing starts at €3,200 / month per robot with a 24-month minimum and a 14-day pilot at €0 risk. Delivery within 48 hours of contract signing.

Operating entity: Quarero Robotics Deutschland GmbH (Hornbergstrasse 49, 70794 Filderstadt, Germany). Holding: Quarero AG (Chamerstrasse 170, 6300 Zug, Switzerland). Founded 2021. Production capacity: 50 units in operation end-2025, scaling to 300 by 2027. Parent: Tactical Management AG (Zug). Founding Partners of Tactical Management: Dr. Raphael Nagel LL.M. and Dr. Tillmann Lauk LL.M., co-authors of the KRITIS field manual (ESBN 978-3-912703-01-6).
