WhatTheySay?- SEWBOTICS: The “Last Mile” in Automated Apparel Technology

I cover a lot of ground in this article from the company start to the our work with DARPA, the Walmart Foundation, and our creation of the Digital T-Shirt Workline. See my story on how we got sold on automating T-Shirts here.

You can read the full post here. Here’s a small clip on our goals for T-shirt domination.

WTT:  What made T-shirts attractive as a first stop for apparel?

PS: There are about three billion T-shirts consumed annually in the U.S., and the vast majority are produced offshore. Our goal is to make 100 million T-shirts in the U.S in the next three years. Over the next seven to 10 years, we want to do a third of the market, a billion T-shirts annually. We think that goal is achievable. We announced a partnership with Li & Fung, a global supply chain leader for U.S. brands, and Tian Yuan has opened a factory in Arkansas. We give them the missing piece for a full end-to-end solution for garment manufacturing. We also have a series of other factories we will announce in the next couple of months.
