Construction sites face $400 million to $1 billion in annual theft, with tools, equipment and building materials accounting for over 60 percent of losses. Rising gypsum and drywall costs, fueled by tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, are increasing financial exposure for wall and ceiling contractors. Traditional deterrents like fences and cameras often fail to stop determined thieves, leaving high-value materials at risk.

Asylon’s DroneDog offers an automated security solution designed for construction perimeters. This robotic “dog” patrols sites continuously, providing a visible security presence at lower cost than overnight guards. Human-monitored alarm response and 24/7 patrols ensure rapid intervention and reliable protection.

Equipped with the PupPack security payload, DroneDog features a thermal camera with 20X zoom, AI/ML-based threat detection, license plate recognition, and cloud connectivity for live video streaming and secure U.S.-based storage. The robot can scan vehicles for site authorization and detect perimeter breaches, enhancing surveillance beyond fixed cameras.

When not on patrol, DroneDog returns to its rugged DogHouse, which shelters it from the elements and charges its batteries for the next mission. As a fully managed service, Asylon handles operations, maintenance, FAA compliance, and technical support, so contractors can focus on projects without managing robotics teams.
