About Shinkei Systems

Read full description
The system, named Poseidon, is designed to be used on fishing boats and at fish farms. It automates the process of slaughtering, which is intended to be more humane and efficient than manual methods. By preserving the quality of the fish, Shinkei Systems aims to reduce waste in the seafood supply chain.
The company serves commercial fishing operations and aquaculture farms in the United States and Japan. Its business model is based on the sale and installation of its robotic systems. Shinkei Systems has raised significant venture capital funding to support its growth and expansion.
