Automation & Robotics in PPE Manufacturing: Auralis' Role in the Built-By-Bot Project

In August 2021, Auralis, serving as the subject matter expert from Bluewater Defense, played a key role in the successful demonstration of Built-By-Bot: Customized Mask Assembly using Robots at the ISAIC factory. This innovative project, funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense through the ARM (Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing) Institute, aimed to address COVID-19 challenges and strengthen preparedness for future crises. Collaborating with teams from Siemens, Sewbo, and Henderson Sewing, Auralis provided critical insights into automation and robotic sewing processes, ensuring the technology aligned with industry standards and met urgent public health demands.
