In this article, we are giving you insights into one of our core technologies here at sewts – our Computer Vision. It is an integral part of making our automation solutions possible. We want to lift the curtain of secrecy a bit and give you an overview of how it works, what it does, and what some of the biggest challenges in developing it were. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a developer yourself to understand the article, we’re breaking it down to be comprehensible for everybody. What does … [Read more...] about How Our Computer Vision Recognizes Textiles

Reshoring – What It is and How to Make It Possible
Several events of the last few years have made it obvious that global supply chains are not as reliable as once thought. From the pandemic to political brawls between economic powers and most recently the war in Ukraine, there have been plenty of reasons for companies to rethink their manufacturing processes. A potential solution is “Reshoring” (also “Backshoring” or “Nearshoring”). Let’s look at what it means and how it can benefit the entire world. What is ? „Reshoring“ is the … [Read more...] about Reshoring – What It is and How to Make It Possible
What the Mechatronics Development in a Robotics Software Start-up looks like
Get to know our newest senior hire, Prashant! He joins our Hardware team as Senior Mechatronics Engineer and brings in knowledge from multiple (robotics) start-ups. We sat down for an interview with him to get his insights on sewts, his first weeks and what's next for Mechatronics development at sewts. Hi Prashant, thank you for taking the time! To start things off, ? I’m Prashant Doshi, a Mechatronics Engineer who has been associated with many Start-ups in my career, from a pancake making … [Read more...] about What the Mechatronics Development in a Robotics Software Start-up looks like
Automation and Sustainability
Climate change is undoubtly the biggest challenge of our current time. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the global temperature has been rising rapidly (Earth Observatory offers some interesting graphs here). All in all, there has been a temperature increase of 1°C so far. The Paris Agreement from 2015 sets the goal of limiting further temperature increases to 0,5° at best and 1° as a maximum amount. However, when the progess was reviewed at the 2021 UN Climate Change … [Read more...] about Automation and Sustainability
Why We Chose Laundry Automation as the First Application for Our Robotics Software
We find ourselves explaining our first use case a lot. And that’s all good, since we do love seeing the moment when people realize that Industrial Laundry is actually a part of everyone’s life. So this is our explanation written down, hopefully giving you a deeper understanding of what we do as well as a glimpse into our product strategy. If you’ve read our page about our product strategy, you’ll know that our technology can work for many different use cases. We chose an approach of … [Read more...] about Why We Chose Laundry Automation as the First Application for Our Robotics Software
