About SoftWear Automation
SoftWear Automation develops Sewbot, a machine-vision-guided robotic production system for apparel and textile manufacturing. The technology automates fabric handling and sewing steps for on-demand T-shirt production, connecting robotic workcells with local cutting, printing and fulfilment processes.
Its model brings perception, manipulation and sewing into a controlled production line that can make garments when orders arrive, reducing inventory and long transport cycles. The Atlanta company combines proprietary robotics with manufacturing partnerships and more than a decade of development tied to apparel and textile operations.
