Sewing intelligence for garment factories

Real-time intelligence for every sewing station.

Discover constraints as they happen, assign the right task to the right person automatically, and stop guessing what's happening on your floor. Stop guessing — start knowing.

What sewing intelligence enables

The full picture, in real time.

01

Find constraints early

Bottlenecks surface the moment they emerge — machine stoppages, inconsistent pace, operator fatigue — so you intervene preventively instead of reacting after throughput suffers.

02

Metrics replace guesswork

Stops, start delay, pace, proficiency, momentum, efficiency, and machine runtime replace gut feel with measured data you can stand behind.

03

Insights, not firefighting

See issues developing in real time and address them before they cascade. Your production shifts from reactive to informed orchestration.

The problem

Sewing machines produce no data. They simply run.

Traditional methods rely on end-of-shift reports, supervisor walkthroughs, and manual counts — all of which give you a delayed, incomplete picture of production reality.

Signal 01

A delayed, incomplete picture

End-of-shift reports and supervisor walkthroughs tell you what happened hours ago — never what's happening right now at each station.

Signal 02

No way to measure each needle

Sewing machines simply run. There's been no practical way to measure activity at each station in real time without disrupting the work.

Signal 03

Supervisors rank performance

The quietly struggling operator and the quietly exceptional worker look identical on a manual count. Without data, fairness is impossible. Potential is lost.

Signal 04

Problems found after the damage

Constraints are identified only through their effects on throughput — by which point the WIP has piled up, quality suffers, and the delivery date is at risk.

Two things make it work

A sensor at every sewing station.

Meet: Seambithardware

Intelligence at each sewing station. A small device clips onto any station and captures every needle movement, and the lack of it, continuously.

Your AI production assistant. Tally continuously monitors the floor, discovers constraints as they emerge, and assigns the right task to the right person at the right time.

See every active moment — not spot checks.

Like a fitness tracker counts steps automatically, Seambit captures needle activity, and the lack of it, continuously. Manual counts see a handful of moments per shift; OpenSeam sees all of them.

What you gain

Track it as it happens

See what's on your floor right now, not hours later in a shift report.

Discover constraints, on autopilot

Theory of Constraints applied continuously to find which station limits throughput.

Track machine activity

The only system that measures actual needle-in-fabric time, precisely.

Train operators better, faster

Objective proficiency data shortens training timelines with measured progress.

Measure performance fairly

Decisions based on measured behavior and real production, not perception.

Learn from every shift

Complete production history retained — spot patterns, improve continuously.

Open by design

We do sewing intelligence. Partners do everything else.

You get actionable insight from your sewing floor — and it flows into your ERP, MES, PLM, and planning tools. Integration benefits customers. Vendor lock-in doesn't.

Universal compatibility

Works with the machines you already have.

No retrofits, no rip-and-replace, no connectivity standards to meet. Seambit uses onboard sensors to detect needle motion on any industrial sewing machine — lockstitch, overlock, flatlock, or specialty — regardless of age or manufacturer.

Pricing

Simple, transparent, predictable.

Simple pricing that scales linearly with your operation. You need one seambit for each station, then pay for the production days you use them. That's it.

Seambits
$20per device · one-time

No recurring hardware fees.

That's it. No tiers, no complex contracts.
1,000 stations × 300 workdays = $20,000 devices + $120,000/yr license
