Jack Technology taps Siemens for humanoid sewing robots
Jack Technology has selected Siemens software to support AI enabled apparel manufacturing work that includes humanoid robots in sewing workshops, according to Industrial Equipment News.
The Chinese industrial sewing equipment maker will deploy Siemens Intelligence Center X, beginning with Mendix for agentic low code development and Designcenter for advanced product engineering. Siemens said the package is intended to help Jack build and iterate manufacturing and robotics applications, while also supporting product design, simulation and manufacturing for complex mechanical systems such as humanoid robots.
Jack serves customers in more than 160 countries and is targeting efficiency improvements of up to 30 percent across product development and production, the report said. The company expects the Siemens integration to shorten development cycles, improve product quality, optimize production workflows and reduce costs.
The robotics claim is meaningful but still thin. The article says Jack is integrating AI enabled systems and humanoid robots into traditional sewing environments, yet it does not name a humanoid platform, describe the robot hardware, specify autonomy levels or give a deployment schedule. For operators, the near term substance is the digital engineering and application layer rather than a disclosed humanoid cell ready for evaluation.
Siemens will also provide technical training to support a dedicated digital platform for the sewing equipment industry. Raymond Kok, CEO of Mendix, a Siemens business, said the combination of agentic low code development and digital product engineering can help manufacturers move faster from concept to production.
