Why apparel automation matters

Textiles

Repeatability

More structured handling and sewing logic can improve process consistency.

Scalability

Cell-based automation can support more modular production architectures.

Near-customer production

Automation can help make local and regional production concepts more viable.

Production visibility

Monitoring and software interfaces provide a stronger basis for process control.

ADOTC's integrated technology approach

Robot sewing

Assembly processes

Selected garment-related sewing operations with recurring seam paths and defined process requirements.

Line-based production

Modular automation line designed for structured production environments and scalable pilot setups.

Monitored execution

Integration of handling, process control and software-supported production logic.

System view

From textile handling to monitored sewing execution

For apparel production, automation goes beyond pick-and-place. The process architecture needs to coordinate material presentation, gripping, positioning, sewing execution and monitoring in one controlled setup.

  • Textile-specific end effectors and gripping logic
  • Robotic motion aligned with garment handling requirements
  • Machine vision for supervision and stability
  • Interfaces for connected manufacturing workflows

Relevant for selected apparel assembly processes

Apparel production involves multiple handling-intensive and seam-critical steps. ADOTC focuses on process areas where robotic guidance, material control and monitored execution can create value.

  • Selected garment assembly operations
  • Defined seam types and repeatable process windows
  • Near-customer and modular production concepts
  • Pilot lines with measurable process stability targets
ADOTC T-shirt automation

ADOTC starts with automated T-shirt production

ADOTC starts with the automation of T-shirt production. The line is being developed for different sizes and styles and is designed for T-shirts made from cotton, polyester or mixed fibres.

The goal is a flexible production setup that combines textile handling, robotic sewing and connected process control with a target capacity of up to 2 shirts per minute.
