the recipient of three industry accolades. The company has been
inducted into the Spring 2020 MIT STEX25 startup accelerator
cohort, named an RBR50 Robotics Innovations Award winner by
Robotics Business Review and recognized by Supply & Demand
Chain Executive as one of the 100 Top Supply Chain Projects of 2020
for its work with Milton CAT. These industry awards highlight the
most innovative U.S. startups, leading robotics organizations and
the most successful real-world supply chain use-cases.
“This has been a historic year for Vecna Robotics,” said Daniel
Theobald, founder and CEO, Vecna Robotics. “We kicked off 2020 with
a strong Series B financing round that helped accelerate our vision
and product strategy that we’ll continue executing on for the

commitment we’ve made to building world-class robotic platforms and
orchestration software that helps businesses streamline their
logistics operations. A special thank you to each organization for
their recognition, and to the Vecna Robotics team for their hard
work and dedication.”
Spring 2020 STEX25 Cohort
In May, Vecna Robotics was inducted to the Spring 2020 STEX25
cohort. STEX25 is a startup accelerator run by MIT Startup Exchange
featuring 25 "industry-ready" startups. MIT Startup Exchange adds
startups to STEX25 on a quarterly basis and selects from more than
1,800 MIT-connected startups.
RBR50 Robotics Innovations Award
Robotics Business Review named Vecna Robotics a winner in its
annual RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards, which recognizes and
celebrates forward-thinking companies and the original, impactful
solutions they have created. This is the eighth time in the past
ten years Vecna Robotics has won this award.
"Vecna Robotics has been a leader in automated pallet jacks,
conveyors, and tuggers," said Eugene Demaitre, senior editor, The
Robot Report. "This past year, the company’s Pivotal AI-based
orchestration engine has coordinated tasks for both people and
mobile robots, reportedly helping one of the world's largest
shipping companies double throughput. Such practical innovations
are precisely what the RBR50 awards honor."
SDCE 100
Each year, Supply & Demand Chain Executive issues its SDCE
100, which spotlights successful and innovative projects that
deliver bottom-line value to enterprises across a range of supply
chain functions. This year, Vecna Robotics was recognized for its
innovative warehouse automation solutions deployed at Milton CAT.
With the help of Vecna Robotics autonomous mobile robots (AMRs),
Milton CAT was able to reduce non-value added travel by 50%,
improve fulfillment speed, and minimize delays.
“From business intelligence systems and supply and demand
planning to inventory reduction and procurement solutions, the SDCE
100 offers proof-of-concept that with the right planning and
execution, anything is possible,” said Marina Mayer,
editor-in-chief, Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
Vecna Robotics helps some of the largest distribution,
warehousing, and manufacturing organizations, such as Medline,
GEODIS, FedEx Ground, DHL Supply Chain, and Milton CAT, streamline
their materials handling and logistics operations.
