VELUM in detail



VELUM is smart, flexible and reliable.

Industrial laundries wash and dry textiles in a highly automated environment to cope with the large quantities of dirty linen, however they still require manual work for a few gaps in the automation chain. Most notably, each folding machine requires an employee who feeds the laundry and spreads it out without any wrinkles. 

Human labor involves high costs, with 30% of the personnel costs in laundries being accounted for by equipping folding machines. At the same time, labor shortages are one of the most pressing issues of our time and they are especially prevalent in tasks that involve repetitive manual work.

Our VELUM system steps in to provide a solution. sewts VELUM feeds towels and other terrycloth into folding machines, closing this significant gap in automation of industrial laundries. Our inhouse developed AI analyzes the textile and translates these findings into robotic commands. VELUM is optimized for adaptability and handles all sorts of towels up to sizes of 1x2m – without restrictions regarding color or texture.
