HAINING, CN / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2026 / Haining Leather City has a total floor area of approximately 1.3 million square meters, accommodates more than 6,000 businesses, and welcomes over 10 million visitors annually. In the past, this vast commercial complex relied entirely on manual patrols. Its long corridors and numerous blind spots made anomalies difficult to detect amid heavy daytime foot traffic, while potential hazards were even harder to identify promptly after the market closed at night.
Today, DEEP Robotics has introduced a smart security solution at Haining Leather City. Patrol robot dogs autonomously navigate the corridors and report anomalies in real time, while firefighting robot dogs remain on standby to respond rapidly to fire emergencies. Together, they form a flexible and highly mobile intelligent line of defense.
"Day and Night, the Market Now Has a Pair of Sleepless Eyes"
With multiple floors and widely dispersed inspection points, Haining Leather City previously depended on security personnel conducting floor-by-floor patrols. The workload was considerable, and blind spots deep inside shops, behind shelves, and at the ends of corridors could easily be overlooked. DEEP Robotics' robot dogs are equipped with high-precision LiDAR, wide-angle cameras, and visual recognition systems, enabling them to build real-time maps of their surroundings and achieve centimeter-level positioning. Supported by onboard computing and cloud-based collaboration, the robot dogs can dynamically avoid obstacles and adjust their routes in real time when they encounter unexpected obstructions such as merchandise displays or crowds, allowing them to complete full-coverage patrols with agility and precision.
Security patrols at Haining Leather City must cover an extensive area, numerous inspection points, and a wide range of potential risks. During peak holiday periods, daily visitor numbers can exceed 60,000, placing immense pressure on the security team. Dense crowds and stacks of merchandise can obstruct lines of sight, making it difficult for manual patrols to maintain full coverage. Human inspectors are also susceptible to fatigue, increasing the risk of missed or inaccurate detections. Equipped with panoramic cameras, DEEP Robotics' robot dogs serve as mobile "elevated observation points," providing real-time situational awareness throughout the market and eliminating surveillance blind spots. They turn areas that are difficult for security personnel to monitor continuously into spaces that machines can reliably watch, substantially improving both patrol efficiency and accuracy. "DEEP Robotics' robot dogs have taken over some of the patrol duties previously performed by our security personnel," said a manager at Haining Leather City. "They have reduced the team's workload while helping safeguard the market."
The greater challenge begins after closing time. At night, only emergency lighting remains on inside the market, creating numerous visual blind spots. Security guards previously had to patrol each floor with flashlights, while hazards could remain hidden in corners beyond the reach of their beams. After nightfall, DEEP Robotics' robot dogs activate searchlights to illuminate their surroundings. Their dual-spectrum pan-tilt-zoom cameras conduct routine inspections using visible-light imaging while simultaneously detecting infrared heat sources. Even in complete darkness or low-light conditions, the robot dogs can accurately identify abnormal heat signatures hidden between shelves or within stacks of merchandise, leaving nighttime hazards nowhere to hide. Among all nighttime risks, detecting smoke and flames is both particularly critical and technically challenging. "If the detection range for smoke and flames is too limited, a nighttime patrol is effectively operating blind," recalled a manager at Haining Leather City. When the robot dogs were first deployed, they could detect signs of smoke or flames only within a range of one meter, and their performance was especially constrained at night. To address this limitation, the DEEP Robotics team continuously refined the recognition algorithms. The robot dogs can now detect smoke and flames from a distance of three to five meters in nighttime environments, marking another significant upgrade in the market's security capabilities.
"Detection, Verification, and Response: A Fully Automated Closed Loop"
Combustible gas leaks, smoldering cigarette butts, and odor signatures associated with unauthorized smoking can be difficult to detect. These invisible hazards may escape human attention until the optimal response window has already passed. Equipped with multi-gas sensors, the robot dogs continuously "sniff" the surrounding air. Once an anomaly is detected, they immediately pinpoint its location, turning otherwise invisible and intangible risks into signals that can be detected and precisely located. "With DEEP Robotics' robot dogs, we can now accurately identify different types of gases," said a security officer at Haining Leather City. "It is like gaining an additional, highly reliable pair of eyes and a sensitive nose. They have taken a tremendous amount of pressure off our team."
Detecting an anomaly is only the first step. Responding swiftly is equally important. In the past, when security personnel discovered a potential hazard, they had to report it through multiple levels via walkie-talkie. From initial detection and verification to final dispatch, the process involved a long chain of communication and numerous intermediate steps. DEEP Robotics' robot dogs now use 5G communication modules to transmit live video, precise location information, and sensor data to the digital management platform in real time. The backend control center and the market's fire control room can monitor the situation simultaneously. Anomalies such as accumulated debris can be automatically identified and reported by the robot dogs without human intervention. Staff can then respond precisely based on the alerts they receive, eliminating the need for personnel to repeatedly relay information, travel between floors, and confirm incidents at each level.
Faster reporting must also be accompanied by immediate on-site intervention. Dangerous behavior such as unauthorized smoking can be difficult to eliminate completely. By the time security personnel notice the violation and arrive at the scene, the individual may already have left, causing the optimal intervention window to be lost. When a robot dog detects such behavior, however, it immediately issues an on-site warning through its two-way voice communication module, stopping the violation at the earliest possible moment. At the same time, personnel in the control center receive live information about the incident, allowing them to assess the situation and coordinate a response remotely. This helps secure the most valuable window for timely intervention.
"Autonomous Charging Supports Round-the-Clock Intelligent Operation"
Detection, communication, and response form an interconnected system. Keeping that system running continuously around the clock depends on the robot dogs' ability to remain operational day and night. On a full charge, DEEP Robotics' robot dogs can patrol continuously for approximately three hours. After completing their assigned tasks, they autonomously return to their charging stations, requiring no dedicated operator and ensuring that all-weather patrols continue without interruption. "Now that DEEP Robotics' robot dogs are patrolling at night, we feel much more reassured," said a security officer at Haining Leather City.
From Yiwu International Trade Market and Certis Group's campus in Singapore to Haining Leather City, DEEP Robotics' robot dogs are being deployed in a growing range of patrol environments, including shopping centers, residential communities, and smart industrial parks. They are emerging as a new force within intelligent public safety and security systems. In these real-world applications, DEEP Robotics delivers far more than a single piece of equipment. It provides a standardized solution that directly addresses persistent challenges such as surveillance blind spots, delayed responses, and human fatigue, paving the way for intelligent patrol systems to be deployed at scale and integrated into routine operations.
Behind the continued expansion of these applications is DEEP Robotics' unwavering commitment to its vision of "Creating a Better Life with Robots and AI." DEEP Robotics is not only freeing security personnel from repetitive, hazardous, and physically demanding patrol work; it also provides intelligent, round-the-clock, full-coverage support for security operations-ensuring that every patrol is traceable and that no potential hazard goes undetected.
