About MoLogica
What is MoLogica?
A South African robotics company that supplies autonomous patrol and inspection robots and the software platform that runs them. The software is the product; the robots are proven bodies from established manufacturers that we configure.
Is MoLogica deployed anywhere yet?
Not yet. The full platform has passed an end-to-end proof gate in a simulated warehouse, the first physical robot is driving autonomously on real floors, and pilots are next. We're talking to pilot sites now.
Where are you based?
Johannesburg, South Africa.
The robots
Do you build your own robots?
No. We buy proven bodies from established manufacturers, fit one standard sensor kit and one standard brain, and run our own software. Robots are configured, never custom-built.
Which robots do you use?
Indoor wheeled bodies for floors and halls, industrial wheeled rovers for yards, farms and perimeters, and legged bodies for stairs and rough ground. Specific bodies change as better hardware ships; the software doesn't.
Can I buy the robots?
Yes. Buy them outright with a platform subscription and a service plan, or subscribe to coverage and let MoLogica own the hardware.
How long does a robot run per charge?
Depends on the body: a few hours for indoor bodies, around 3 hours for industrial rovers on the standard battery. Fleets rotate through docks so coverage never drops.
What happens if a robot is stolen or tampered with?
It reports position and status continuously. A robot that leaves its route or loses its link is itself an alert.
The software
What does the platform do?
Runs missions from plain-language instructions, checks every command for safety, runs the control room, manages the fleet's software, records everything in a format you can take with you, and retrains checks from the fleet's own experience and human corrections.
Does it need the internet?
The robot never needs it to stay safe: with no network it holds, returns home and reports when the link comes back, proven on the real robot. Today missions are planned through the control room by cloud AI; a server on your site that plans offline is designed, so a site can run for days without the cloud.
Can my own control-room staff run it?
Yes. The control room is designed for existing security operators. Missions and takeovers are in plain language or by joystick.
What AI does it use?
Cloud models for planning missions and judging inspections, and small models trained from those judgements that run on the robot itself. We test models against each other and assign each job to the one that does it best.
Can the AI drive the robot?
No. The AI plans. Proven controllers move the robot, and every command is checked before it moves. A human always outranks the AI.
Deployment and service
How does a deployment start?
With a simulated copy of your site, if you want one, then site mapping, dock and site server installation, and the first patrols. Industry packs are trained from your own site's objects.
Who maintains the robots?
MoLogica or a certified regional service partner. Partners provide service and maintenance only; they never own or resell robots.
Does it integrate with my WMS and security systems?
Yes, in both directions. Your existing cameras can trigger the robot through the control room, alerts go out to your control room and security platforms, stock reads are reconciled with your WMS, and events come out in open formats.
Does it replace guards?
No. Robots patrol, detect and inspect. Your response team keeps doing what needs judgement and force.
What does it cost?
It depends on site, fleet size and contract length. Talk to us.
Ready to see robots patrolling your site?
Before any hardware is bought, we can build a simulated copy of your site and show the fleet patrolling it at night while you configure the checks in plain language.
