As a result of technological breakthroughs and automation, the way in which products and commodities are produced is changing drastically. The concept of machines fulfilling duties and tasks previously ascribed to humans is now a reality in factories and companies across the world, as depicted in science fiction novels and films.
This new era of manufacturing is most visible in the apparel business sector, where machines are increasingly used to process and fill orders. The garment business in the United States is being transformed by robots and automation, which are tackling the difficulties of high labor costs, moving production closer to consumers, and satisfying the needs of a market accustomed to short production deadlines and immediate delivery.
Robots are programmable machines that can move in at least three directions. They were designed to handle a variety of jobs, including heavy lifting and dangerous or repeated work. George Devol is credited with creating the world’s first robot. In 1961, the Unimate, a material handling robot capable of basic welding and carrying activities, was released.
Because of various technological breakthroughs in recent years, today’s robots have a far higher degree of autonomy. In this document, we will look at how robots are used in the apparel manufacturing industry today.
The NAUMD has prepared an overview (25-page report) for members containing anecdotal information from a variety of sources.
