Softwear Automation, the Atlanta, Georgia-based pioneer of autonomous sewing technology, has successfully closed a new $20 million Series B1 funding round, marking a new start in its mission to revolutionise sewn goods manufacturing.

Softwear Automation’s patented Sewbot technology delivers a fully autonomous sewing solution, enabling sewn products to be made closer to the consumer, with radically reduced waste, faster cycle times and superior cost-efficiency.
