Robotic Applications

Robots are being deployed across various stages of textile manufacturing. Here are some of the most impactful applications:

Fabric Handling & Cutting

Automated systems with advanced vision can pick, place, and spread large rolls of fabric. Robotic arms equipped with laser or blade cutters ensure unparalleled precision, drastically reducing material waste.

Sewing & Stitching (Sewbots)

"Sewbots" are specialized robots that can guide fabric through sewing machines, performing complex stitching patterns. This improves consistency and speed for tasks like sewing seams, pockets, and collars.

Sorting & Logistics

Post-production, robots can sort garments by size, color, or style, and then pack them for shipping. This automates the entire warehouse and fulfillment process, reducing errors and labor costs.
