Abstract

Investigates the use of robotic sewing systems for assembling car headrest covers at Moll, a German company. Notes the key role of robots in the production process by virtue of their flexible movement. Reports on increased use of computerization by the company and mentions a current research project looking at the use of robotic sewing systems aimed at the clothing industry, a much greater market.
