What ADOTC develops

01

Robotic sewing

Automated sewing cells for selected textile assembly processes in industrial production.

02

Textile handling

Precise handling, positioning and guiding of flexible textile materials during automated processing.

03

Connected production

Integrated sensors, interfaces and software for monitored, data-driven production environments.

Core challenge

Why textile automation is difficult

Flexible material behaviour

Fabrics deform, shift and react differently during each handling step.

High product variability

Sizes, geometries, materials and seam paths can change from product to product.

Precision in sewing processes

Reliable textile guidance and repeatable seam quality require tightly controlled process design.

Why manufacturers look at textile automation

A

Less dependency on manual labour

Automation can reduce reliance on hard-to-scale manual production steps.

B

Better process consistency

Monitored and repeatable processes can improve stability and quality.

C

Scalable production

Automated cells can support more structured and scalable manufacturing setups.

D

Near-customer manufacturing

Automation can help make production closer to end markets more viable.

Application areas

Apparel

Automation potential for garment-related sewing and assembly processes.

Home textiles

Production solutions for selected sewn textile products used in everyday environments.

Medical textiles

Automation opportunities where precision, consistency and traceability matter.

Technical textiles

Industrial textile applications with defined functional and quality requirements.
