Sewts
Has just completed a fresh financing SewtsThe startup, founded in 2019 by former mechanical engineering students Alexander Bley, Tim Doerks, and Till Rickert, is working on technologies for the automated processing of deformable materials, such as textiles or films. Due to their complex material properties, these materials have so far been excluded from advances in automation technology. To this end, the Munich-based robotics startup has developed control and image processing software that enables robots to predict the behavior of dimensionally unstable materials when gripping them in real time based on intelligent algorithms and to respond precisely. At the end of 2022, Sewts successfully celebrated its market entry with its series-ready product Velum – a robot unit designed for large-scale industrial laundries. In the future, the startup's technology will automate other manual tasks such as sewing or laying cable harnesses. Following a pre-seed round in 2019 and a seed round in 2021, the Munich-based company has now secured over seven million euros in its Series A. (Image: Sewts)
