The US road trip is progressing well. See photos and updates at Mobotech Facebook Page.
Over the past two weeks, Mobotech have done three demos to companies along the way from Chicago to Charlotte, North Carolina.
- Saddle Creek Transport, a large 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) Company in the US South East. They were impressed with the Mobots and are keen to progress with trials once units are available.
- Bimbo Bakeries, Tennessee operation. They remain interested in discussing trials but from a National level. Magline will be leading the approach to this strategic customer.
- Dollar General, a major discount retailer throughout the US. We visited their massive Virginia Distribution Centre (DC). They have issues hand loading their 53ft trailers and see value in the Mobot. Trials are now being scheduled with them.
From here Moobtech continue on to do three key potential customer demos with Coca-Cola in Charlotte,Pepsi cola in Georgia and Dean Foods in Texas. Magline, having seen the good customer feedback so far, are now developing their manufacturing and distribution plans in order to support these trails.
The recent funding round remains open with NZ$200K still available. Would dearly like to have this extra capital to bring on the resource to help me get Mobotech established here in the US.

In their place: dynamic, time-of-use pricing that changes depending on when power is consumed. Electricity is now cheapest when solar floods the grid in the middle of the day — and […]
500 Million Episodes, Limited Treatment: How Patrys is Bridging the Gap in an Underserved Market
In the clinical vocabulary of the Intensive Care Unit, there is perhaps no word that carries as much quiet dread as delirium. It is a “chemical storm” of the brain—an acute dysfunction where the delicate balance between calming and activating signals is scrambled. For the patient, it can be a waking nightmare of hallucinations and […]
