World's first humanoid robot garment factory: same output with 12 workers instead of 40
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-10-31
- Aitu Robotics (under Jack Group) launched the world's first humanoid-robot smart factory for clothing, mass-producing Annie humanoid robots that work alongside CNC sewing stations, existing automation, and specialized sewing robots to cut reliance on skilled labor.
- Real deployment data from Shengteng Group's shirt line (presented by Dr. Hu Wenhai, President of Aitu Global R&D Center): the unmanned cutting station reduced 7 positions to 1 inspection role, identifies and sorts pieces in 72 seconds with a 99.9% first-pass rate and 5% fabric savings; AI delivery replaces manual handling, counting, and bundling.
- Seven Annie robots collaborate with CNC sewing stations, performing immediate full inspection of five core components; a digital twin mirrors the entire line in real time.
- Economics at equal capacity: 40 workers on a traditional line cut to 12; 20-hour operation yields 1,000 solid-color / 700 striped shirts per day; 42 pieces per worker daily; 5% fabric savings, 30% quality improvement, 20% shorter lead time, payback under 3 years.
