AI solution

Artificial intelligence in bank foyers

Your new digital employee for improved customer service

KeBob is KEBA’s AI-based solution for analyzing what people do, teamed with a system for interacting in real time with the people on site. This combination is unlike anything else on the market! The virtual assistant bridges the gap between our physical and digital worlds and eases the burden on your bank staff, freeing them up to concentrate on their core duties.

KeBob’s full potential as an intelligent monitoring solution is particularly evident at locations where security is a key priority, such as urban areas or security hotspots. In branches of the future, KeBob helps banks and savings banks position themselves as modern financial institutions.

The new Analyst feature in the KeBob Cockpit makes the use of your bank foyer visible—making KeBob relevant to every branch. It therefore enables informed decisions and data-driven optimisation of your bank branches. Clear reports show how many people use the foyer at different times and how frequently specific events are detected. This enables you to:

  • Identify busy and quiet periods and plan resources more effectively.

  • Analyse security-related events and identify recurring patterns.

  • Track changes over time and better assess the impact of your measures.

Increased safety

  • Prevention of shoulder surfing attempts (spying on the PIN) by asking users to keep their distance at the ATM
  • Detect threats/dangerous situations in real time (even when the branch is open)
  • Automatically activate security measures (such as shutters or fog systems)
  • Notify and alert relevant personnel automatically

Well-being and comfort for customers and employees

  • Provide help in medical emergencies
  • Ensure compliance with rules (e.g., asking people to remove their helmet)
  • Ensure privacy (e.g., asking people to stand further back when waiting at ATM machines)

Maximum data protection

  • No storage of personal data (image information is only processed locally)
  • Stored data is protected by encryption and an authorization system.
  • If data storage is necessary, it is anonymized (e.g. by pixelating faces)
  • Automatic deletion system (data is securely deleted after a specified period of time).

The KeBob solution

KeBob comprises hardware components such as KeBob Guard, Server, cameras, and I/O modules, complemented by software and a Management Platform.

KeBob Guard

KeBob Guard

KeBob Guard G1 is the interface with the customers in your branch. It comprises a display and microphone and is able to address your customers in real time.

KeBob Server

KeBob Server

The KeBob Server S1 is the ”brains” behind the assistance solution as a whole. The server is located in the back office of your bank and runs the artificial intelligence system and the connection to the KEBA Management Platform (via a router).

Management Platform

Management Platform

KEBA’s Management Platform enables you to send messages, e.g., to inform/alert security staff, and remotely administer and configure your KeBob units.

KeBob system overview

The KeBob assistance system comprises hardware components such as the KeBob Guard, KeBob Server, and various I/O modules. These are complemented by comprehensive software functionalities and a central management platform.

In the foyer, the KeBoB Guard and several cameras are installed. The Guard serves as a customer interface in the branch and consists of a display and a microphone. It is capable of addressing your customers in real time.

The devices in the foyer are connected to the server in the back office via a PoE switch. This server hosts both the artificial intelligence and the connection to the KEBA Management Platform. This platform enables:

  • monitoring and configuration of your KeBoB devices,

  • the provisioning of software patches and security-related updates,

  • as well as the sending of notifications, such as alerting a security service.

Foyer usage at a glance

While transaction data from self-service devices shows what happens at an individual device, KeBob uses computer vision and multi-camera tracking to analyse how the entire monitored area is used. This helps you better understand how your customers use the foyer, identify trends over longer periods and assess measures based on actual data. Alongside improving security in your branches, you can optimise your branches and self-service areas using a solid foundation of data.

Detect

When and where do relevant usage patterns emerge?

How many people use the foyer, when do they arrive and how long do they stay? Peak times, quieter periods, areas where people spend time and recurring events become visible and can inform operational and strategic decisions.

Understand

How is the bank branch actually used?

Visitor traffic, dwell times, usage patterns throughout the day, week and month, and detected events provide greater transparency. Branch managers gain a much clearer picture of how the foyer is actually used. This helps them better understand usage patterns and identify unusual activity that transaction figures alone cannot reveal.

Optimize

What insights can I apply to my branch?

The insights gained support decisions about branch layout, customer routes, resource allocation, and spaces for information and advertising. This clearer, data-driven understanding of foyer usage offers an entirely new perspective that goes far beyond traditional transaction data.

Uniquely optimized.

Focus on safety

KeBob as a solution for ATM blasts

The increase in blasts (especially in Austria) presents banks with new security challenges: Damage to property and danger to people lead to a noticeable decrease in the subjective feeling of security, especially when visiting foyers at night. The KEBA experts explain how KeBob can set new standards in the security architecture of banks.
