Partnering with Vention allowed AE Sewing Machines to bring this confidential project to life, achieving the meticulous standards and rapid timelines required for specialized tasks. The team completed the ultrasonic welding system build in less than the planned 45-hour timeframe.
In the design phase, they transformed an initially large, space-consuming concept into a compact, streamlined unit that fit seamlessly within the client’s facility, leaving room for future expansion. The project’s complexity required close collaboration between AE Sewing Machines and Vention, with visual tools and prompt feedback allowing the team to refine the concept into a practical and adaptable solution that could scale. Intimate knowledge of the textile industry and a deep commitment to customer needs drove the success of this intricate build.
The assembly crew leveraged the real-time guidance offered by Vention’s MachineBuilder platform to stay on track with their initial budget goals and timelines. They were able to deliver the entire system within six to eight weeks - a remarkable improvement over typical 12 to 24-week deployment timelines for similar projects.
Beyond technical achievements, this project highlighted AE Sewing Machines’s dedication to safety and long-term industry impact. By automating the workstation, they reduced repetitive strain injury (RSI) risks, allowing operators to remain safely outside the action zone while the robotic arm handled ultrasonic welding tasks.
With this project, AE Sewing Machines not only strengthened their role as a leader in textile automation but also underscored their dedication to evolving British manufacturing while meeting the highest standards of confidentiality and trust.
