The super-fast robot will make the Adidas shirt cheaper and steal hundreds of jobs

The machine called Sewbot uses cameras and bots to cut and sew soft fabric, a task that always avoids automation. So far, this work still gives the best results when people make their own sewing machines. According to Software

Here is the video Sewbot making jeans.

The bot came from Atlanta-based SoftWear Automation, which won a $ 1.25 million DARPA contract in 2012, dedicated to technology development. Chinese enterprises Tianyuan Garments will use this machine for their factory in Little Rock, Arkensas.

Sewbot automatic sewing machine system produces super fast

Tang Xinhong, chairman of Tianyuan said: 'We will install 21 production lines. When in operation, the system will make a T-shirt for 22 seconds. We will produce 800,000 shirts for Adidas every day. Around the world, even the cheapest labor market cannot compete. I am very interested in this. '

This is very beneficial for the apparel industry, and it also means that clothes, at least from Adidas, will become much cheaper. It also means that thousands of people will lose their jobs.
