From 1994 to 2005, the United States lost more than 900,000 textile and apparel jobs to offshoring.
But in the last six years, there have been significant announcements by foreign-owned textile companies investing in the United States.
SEWBOTS-as-a-Service creates immediate return-on-investment benefits while enabling scale across retailer, brand and manufacturer.
For a monthly fee starting at $5,000 per robot, a factory can add annual production capacity of up to 1 million units (product dependent). This enables a manufacturer to bring on a Sewbot for just over $55 per shift.
SEWBOTS-as-a-Service is focused on bringing scale to basic sewn good production within the country of destination. This focus allows manufacturers to move current seamstresses to premium products while creating a more reactive, reliable and sustainable textile ecosystem, the company said. (DS)
