There is a trend to move production closer to sales markets again. This saves time and costs and is good for the environment. For the European textile industry, the partial return from low-cost production facilities in Asia is primarily a question of technology.
With KUKA robotics, the automation experts at robotextile have now created an efficient and surprisingly easy-to-handle system solution that could lead textile production into a new era: “Thanks to the extremely agile and highly flexible KUKA small robots from the AGILUS, SCARA and LBR iisy series as well as specially designed grippers, we have managed to take layers of fabric from the stack of pre-cuts and feed them individually to the next production step without picking up the next layer of fabric as well – nothing on the market was previously capable of doing this.”
