Sewts' technology will initially be used in industrial laundries. Individual steps, such as sorting dirty textiles or placing laundry in folding machines, will be carried out using the Munich<\/a> be automated. This should double the productivity of a textile washing line. Further applications in the textile industry and in the processing of films and foams are planned for the long term. The new funding will be used to further develop the software into a series product, expand the development team, and acquire sales partners. Alexander Bley<\/strong>, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Sewts, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"We are very pleased to have convinced capital-strong and technologically savvy investors of our disruptive technology. Their cross-industry market expertise will be a great help to us on the path to series production."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Sewts enables robots to handle soft fabrics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Solid materials such as metals are already being processed using robotics and AI solutions. Easily deformable materials, on the other hand, still pose challenges for computers and image processing programs. Currently available robots and gripping systems are therefore only inadequately capable of performing simple tasks such as grasping a towel or piece of clothing. The technology developed by the startup, founded in 2019, is designed to enable robots to predict the behavior of dimensionally unstable materials during gripping in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolfgang Neubert<\/strong>, Partner at Apex Ventures, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"What particularly impressed us about the team was its combination of high technical expertise, technical creativity, and the ability to quickly understand industrial applications of Sewts technology and derive their economic impact."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

George Ried<\/strong>, Managing Director of Bayern Kapital, is quoted as saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Sewts has the potential to significantly simplify previously unautomatable processes in a wide variety of industries\u2014a scalable technology that could benefit many companies, especially in the industrialized nation of Germany, but also beyond. It's an exciting innovation project in the field of robotics, which we are happy to support in its future growth."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
