SOFT TOUCH INDUSTRY

APT recognizes the importance of a perfect pattern to start and complete the wrapping process. Our experts have mastered the art of pattern development – for use in our proprietary equipment APT will:

• Support continuous improvement measures – with pattern tuning (to transition from manual to automated wrapping processes) – for current production products
• Drive product design improvements – through studio collaborations - for pending product releases
• Ensure the cutting/sewing feasibility of the patterns for wrapping repeatability

APT utilizes state-of-the art software-driven equipment to ensure minimal waste of rolled goods. APT will:

• Optimize cutting cycle time and product usage with nested pattern layouts
• Incorporate pattern cutting pedigree tracking options – to support quality control of wrapped products

APT recognizes the importance of joining perfectly cut pattern pieces – in a repeatable process – to create the highest quality products in the industry. Our sewing experts take pride in their work; and it shows. APT provides the top of the line machinery.

Sewing & Embroidery multi-axis machines for:

• Standard thread and capacitive thread options
• Variety of seam execution
• Custom machine attachments for integrated ambient lighting
• Custom machine attachments for sewing and embroidery with capacitive thread
• Capacitive thread options for lighted seams
• Capacitive thread options for embroidered logo switches to power electronics (seat positioning, ambient lighting, etc.)

APT will incorporate sewing & embroidery pedigree tracking options – to support quality control wrapped products

APT has developed the answer to the demand for enhanced craftsmanship products at a reduced cost. Seam alignment and predigree tracking are made possible to support critical quality measurables.

Our proprietary process and detection systems:

• Produce enhanced craftsmanship products
• Support ergonomic safety practices
• Enable expedited repeatable processes
• Offer integrated vision system options
• Incorporate seam alignment pedigree tracking options – to support quality control of wrapped products
• Reduce scrap resulting from manual operation inefficiencies

APT's Press Lamination Tooling provides for flexible lamination from skin to substrate. Allowances for variation in material thickness ensures proper lamination force is achieved regardless of material type.

Our proprietary press lamination equipment:

• Produces enhanced craftsmanship products
• Supports ergonomic safety practices
• Enables expedited repeatable processes
• Offers incorporated vision system options
• Incorporates press lamination pedigree tracking options – to support quality control of wrapped products
• Reduces scrap resulting from manual operation inefficiencies

APT builds edgewrapping equipment with automated micro-fingers to provide precisely wrapped soft-trim products – not achievable with manual-wrapped processes.

Our proprietary stand-alone equipment:
