Installation of the first commercial RENATUS system is already underway and slated for operation starting in Q2 2024. A majority of the system is planned to be portioned and contracted with e-LogiT for use in their order fulfillment operations, while the remaining portion will be reserved for use by RENATUS ROBOTICS for its RENATUS NETWORK blockchain project.

The purpose of this round of fundraising is multifaceted. The key aim is to leverage the cutting-edge AI and robotics technology of RENATUS ROBOTICS with the e-commerce logistics expertise of e-LogiT and the blockchain acumen of Dawn Capital. E-LogiT operates a domestic network of 8 fulfillment centers with over 1700 clients.

By combining expertise, RENATUS ROBOTICS aims to accelerate its business growth and push forward automation in the logistics industry.

As part of its growth trajectory, RENATUS ROBOTICS is currently considering an additional $2 million pre-Series A round, with future rounds of fundraising expected. This move is designed to provide the capital required to scale up its operations and expand within the US. The funding will also be allocated to the expansion of sales partnerships and OEM contracts with logistics vendors, solutions companies, and system integrators.

Around the fall of 2021, our company began working on a performance verification project with RENATUS ROBOTICS in order to consider the implementation of “RENATUS” to our large-scale logistics centers.

We’ve had the opportunity to talk with various logistics vendors, but the team at RENATUS ROBOTICS embodies a very high aspiration and expertise in both the algorithm and robotics aspects.

I think it’s an extremely attractive team where each member, excelling in their respective fields of hardware and software, is working well in unison towards organizational goals. We look forward to their future achievements.
