Aitu has opened a factory in Taizhou, China, with a planned capacity of 10,000 sewing robots a year. The robots are meant to take over a tricky part of garment production: picking up floppy fabric and positioning it neatly at the sewing machine.
The brand belongs to Jack Technology, which announced the factory’s opening on 15 October 2026. Aitu combines robotic arms with sewing equipment. Moving a needle precisely is one thing; keeping a piece of fabric in the right position is quite another challenge.
Fabric is not a metal plate
A rigid part keeps its shape when lifted at one corner. Fabric sags, folds and can cling to another layer. Its edge moves while the robot handles it. The video shows arms working at a sewing station to prepare and position the material.
According to Jack Technology, Aitu introduced its prototype in 2025 and then tested different materials, clothing styles and operations with customers on production lines. Thin slippery fabric behaves differently from a thicker layer; even a crease can alter where to grip.
A factory for sewing robots
Jack announced on 15 October 2026 that Aitu’s manufacturing plant in Taizhou had started production, with planned capacity of 10,000 sewing robots a year. That is a production-capacity target, not the number already installed at clothing makers.
Aitu also wants to apply the technology to shoes, bags and household textiles. Those products share a challenge: their material moves as it is handled. The arms therefore take on more than the sewing motion itself. They aim to control a class of objects that will not behave like rigid components.
