Circus SE, a global leader in AI and robotics for autonomous nutrition systems, has forged a strategic partnership with Secura, a top-tier facility services provider, to deploy AI-powered meal solutions across Europe. This collaboration leverages Circus’s cutting-edge CA-1 robot to transform food service for Secura’s extensive client portfolio, including industry giants like Shell, BMW, and Audi.
Circus SE and Secura have joined forces to integrate AI-robotics into corporate facility management, starting with the deployment of the CA-1 robot at Quartier G, Ingolstadt’s hub for AI and innovation. The CA-1, powered by CircusOS AI software, will deliver autonomous meals tailored to local culinary preferences, showcasing a blend of technology and regional value. “This project combines cutting-edge technology, regional value creation, and an exceptional culinary experience. It perfectly fits our strategy to position Ingolstadt as a leading hub for high-tech and innovation,” says Prof. Dr. Georg Rosenfeld, City Councilor and Economic Affairs Representative of Ingolstadt.
Secura’s extensive network, serving over 200 enterprise clients like Shell, General Electric, and Porsche, provides a robust platform for scaling Circus’s AI-robotics solutions. The partnership plans rapid expansion, with additional deployments scheduled across Secura’s client portfolio. “More locations are already in planning. I see the CA-1 as the future of food-service – efficient, reliable, and of the highest quality. Ingolstadt is the perfect place to launch this technology for us,” says Tan Alcay, Founder and Managing Director of Secura.
The CA-1 robot represents a leap forward in autonomous food production, offering industrial-scale meal output with minimal human intervention. “With the CA-1, we are delivering more than just cutting-edge robots – we are bringing entire autonomous ecosystems to commercial clients. Partnering with Secura allows us to integrate our technology seamlessly across high-profile enterprise clients in a close operational partnership, and opens the door to over 200 renowned clients across Germany and Europe. This deal marks a great step in scaling our autonomous technology together with operational partners,” added Dr. Maximilian Schwaller, VP Commercial of the Circus Group.
This partnership aligns with Circus SE’s mission to revolutionize food service through AI and robotics, addressing labor shortages and enhancing efficiency. By combining Secura’s facility management expertise with Circus’s advanced technology, the collaboration sets a new standard for scalable, high-quality meal solutions in enterprise settings across Germany and Europe.
