Applications

Where robotic sewing can create industrial value

The applications page separates the main target areas and makes it easier to understand where ADOTC’s technology approach can be relevant.

Apparel

Selected garment-related processes where repeatable handling and sewing are critical.

Medical textiles

Applications where consistency, cleanliness and process control matter.

Technical textiles

Industrial textile parts with functional requirements and defined quality targets.

Home textiles

Sewn products in home and interior contexts with recurring process patterns.

How to identify a suitable application

Monkey work

Clarify industry

The application often already defines key requirements, for example in medical, technical, protective, or consumer-related use cases.

Relevant frameworks such as the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 or the PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 can directly influence the automation concept, traceability, and regulatory compliance of our solution

We also work with a broad range of materials, such as:

  • cotton
  • polyester
  • polypropylene
  • polyamide
  • viscose
  • polyacrylic
  • blended fibers
  • aramide
  • metal
  • glass fiber
  • carbon
  • ...

Clarify process

Describe the join or seam, material and handling requirement.

We are experienced with all major stitch types, including:

  • lockstitch
  • overlock
  • chainstitch
  • coverstitch
  • zigzag

and single- or double-needle applications.

Textile structures, such as:

  • woven fabrics
  • braids
  • non-woven fabrcis
  • knitted fabrics
  • and other textile structures

whether finished, coated or not – are no problem for us.

In addtion, we also specialise in other joining processes such as welding (ultrasonic, hot-air, etc.) and bonding.

Clarify feasibility

Assess technical fit, pilot potential and implementation scope.

Production volume, cycle time, quality requirements, available space, energy costs, and other boundary conditions determine the economic feasibility and therefore the return on investment.

We assess the solution together with you from a holistic perspective.

Use case fit depends on process structure

Not every textile process is equally suitable for automation.

Good candidates often have recurring join & seam paths, defined material behaviour, a stable handling sequence and a clear quality target.

  • Defined material input
  • Repeatable handling steps
  • Measurable quality criteria
  • Economic relevance in production
