Aitu Technology Releases the Aini Robot and Production Line King, Entering the Field of Embodied Intelligent Sewing for Apparel

Beijing News Shell Finance News (Reporter Chen Weicheng) On October 28, Jack Technology's brand Aitu Technology launched two major achievements: an embodied intelligent sewing robot for real garment workstations—the Aini robot—and a complete garment robot production line—the Production Line King.

Ruan Jixiang, founder and chairman of Jack Technology, put forward the "three scissors" thesis for the garment industry: the population scissors—order demand remains undiminished while young labor is sharply declining, cutting out a labor gap; the profit scissors—order prices are being pressed lower and lower while labor costs rise higher and higher, letting profits leak away through the cracks; the speed scissors—small-batch rapid response has become the norm, and traditional production lines become slower the heavier they are. With the three scissors intertwined, what they cut apart is not only profit, but also the space for high-quality development of the garment industry. Aitu is using the Aini robot and the Production Line King as its fulcrums to seek solutions to the "three scissors."

The core difficulty of garment automation lies not in "sewing," but in "fabric control." Fabric is soft and easily deformed, and material types are numerous and complex; grasping, smoothing, and deviation correction rely extremely heavily on the tactile experience of skilled workers, which is also the key bottleneck that has long constrained the mass production of sewing robots.

The Aini robot's first-launch price in China is 308,000 yuan. In medium-cost labor areas, the payback period is about 2 years; in high-cost labor areas, about 1.5 years; and with continuous 24-hour operation, it can be shortened to 1 year. At present, Aini has entered Chenfeng Group, a leading domestic garment full-industry-chain manufacturer, and has achieved autonomous sewing in five core processes: shirt collars, cuffs, patch pockets, buttonholes, and button attaching.

Zhang Hanwen, CEO of Aitu Technology, said, "Each factory has different processes and different lean requirements. We hope that every factory can, in the simplest way, tune Aini into the form that best suits itself. This will become a new competitiveness for garment factories in the robot era."

The Production Line King has entered the factory of Sheng Tai Group, a global garment manufacturing leader. Company data shows that the zero-storage unmanned cutting station compresses the traditional cutting process's 7 positions into 1 inspection position, completes cut-piece identification and sorting in 72 seconds, with a one-time sorting success rate of 99.9% and a 5% saving in fabric; Lightning AI delivery replaces manual handling, counting, and subcontracting; 7 Aini robots are linked with CNC sewing workstations and immediately fully inspect five core components; and a digital twin mirrors the entire line's operation in real time.

Company data shows that under the same production capacity, a traditional production line needs 40 people, while the Production Line King needs only 12; under 20-hour working conditions, it produces 1,000 solid-color shirts per day and 700 striped/checked shirts per day; per capita daily output is 42 pieces, fabric is saved by 5%, quality is improved by 30%, delivery time is improved by 20%, and the project investment payback period is less than 3 years.

Xu Lei, chairman of Sheng Tai Group, said that the value of this line lies not only in saving labor, but more in shifting garment manufacturing from reliance on skilled workers' experience to reliance on the coordination of systems, robots, and data, forming a verifiable and replicable whole-line model.
