Many are the fields related to the world of robotics that almost daily receive very important news, especially related to its evolution and arrival at all types of companies. On this occasion, far from talking about talking about issues related to whether a company hasscrewed up'in a certain presentation or if another has bought from a third, I want us to focus on the Latest ad just posted from Adidas, one of the best known multinationals in the world of sports.
I want us to focus on what Adidas is doing today for a very simple reason and that is none other than that it can perfectly represent the future that awaits all those people who today work within the textile sectorMore specifically, in all those factories that are gradually becoming more and more industrialized, causing human labor to take a back seat, except for all those people who have a fairly high technical profile.
The largest manufacturer of Adidas shirts in the world will reduce costs thanks to the automation of its factories
Going back to the latest news related to Adidas in this sense, today I want to talk to you about the latest robot that from now on will work for the company and with which they will look for something as simple as significantly increase the productivity of the company and reduce its costs as much as possible, as much as this literally means putting many people out of work. As a preview, tell you that this new Adidas robot is capable of manufacturing by itself nothing less than 800.000 t-shirts per day.
Apparently this robot that will surely be acquired by other large companies copying the strategic movement of Adidas, created by the company SoftWear Automation Thanks to an investment made by DARPA of 1,25 million euros with the aim of developing robotic technology applied to the textile sector, it has been baptized with the name of 'sewbot'and, as you are surely assuming, it has been equipped with the best technology to make it capable of sewing and cutting fabric with millimeter precision in order to be able to do a job that, until recently, seemed like it couldn't be done by a machine due to the attention to detail you need.
As you can see, technology continues to be developed and works that until not long ago, for different reasons it were believed that they could not be developed by machines, now they can. We have a clear example in like this'sewbot'is literally capable of creating a garment with a level of precision that exceeds that of the human eye, in approximately, only, about 4 minutes on average. These data have been those that have convinced the leaders of Tianyuan Garments, Adidas' leading manufacturer of shirts in the world, to install 21 production lines in its new plant that is being built in Little Rock, Arkansas.
With SewBot on staff, Tianyuan Garments will manufacture an Adidas jersey every 22 seconds
If we put all these data into perspective, we have to take into account that this new plant will be able to make an Adidas jersey every 22 seconds which will mean the manufacture of about 800.000 shirts per day. These data, according to Tianyuan Garments itself means that production will increase by almost 300% compared to current in addition to supposing a great reduction of costs. On the latter they have not wanted to give more details.
According to statements by Tang Xinhong, president of Tianyuan Garments, thanks to the acquisition of the new robots'sewbotthey will get take the lead in the textile industry as not even the cheapest and cheapest Chinese factory in the world will be able to compete against them. This may be the case since, according to their own calculations, for them the cost of machinery and person per shirt rises to 33 cents while for Tianyuan Garments it is reduced to 5 cents.
