Robots for longer-lasting, better-tasting fish at scale.
1.2B lbs of fish are caught everyday yet as little as 1 in 3 fish make it to a plate — most of this waste arises because fish are suffocated on boats or electrocuted on farms. Suffocation and inaccurate electrocution create stress and so acidify meat, damage quality and significantly reduce shelf-life. Artisanal techniques in high-end sushi multiply shelf-life and taste but, because of the variation in fish, are difficult to perform in a mechanical fashion. Shinkei automates traditional techniques using robotics to provide long-lasting and delicious fish for farmers and harvesters at scale.
Shinkei Systems uses robotics and computer vision to harvest fish with artisanal quality at industrial scale. Their Poseidon robot processes thousands of fish daily and aims to deliver transparent, American-led seafood supply chains and improved shelf life and flavor.
Poseidon is a robotic harvesting system deployed on ships that uses an integrated computer vision-robotics setup to humanely harvest fish in seconds. It processes thousands of fish daily, ships in weeks, and is complemented by a software layer (PSDN) that extends shelf life 3x, preserves peak flavor, and reduces stress responses that degrade quality. The company supports full-stack American infrastructure from deck to dinner plate with real-time data streams and an associated consumer distribution arm (Seremoni) for bringing Poseidon-processed fish to market via an American-led supply chain.
Who it’s for: Fishermen, seafood processors, distributors, chefs and retailers seeking artisanal quality at scale within a transparent, American-led supply chain.
