E-Textiles hold promise to revolutionize the wearable technology space. However, despite impressive e-textile material developments, there has yet to be mainstream adoption of e-textile products. The biggest obstacle for implementing e-textiles in wearable technology is the lack of manufacturing methods to seamlessly integrate electronic systems within textile products. The apparel industry is still heavily dependent on manual operations for construction, causing inconsistencies and variability which is detrimental to integrating electronic components. Introducing automation to textile product manufacturing is essential to enable successful and inconspicuous integration of electronics into textiles for e-textile systems. Automating textile product manufacturing is contingent on developing a robust, reliable, and accurate method of handling textile part pieces. The flexible two-dimensionality of textiles presents challenges in grasping and handling operations with robotic grippers in addition to predicting the placement reliability and accuracy for automated assembly. In this thesis, a method of handling flexible textiles through embedded ferromagnetic contacts and an electromagnetic gripper was developed. This approach enables the handling of textiles for pick and place operations by simplifying the grasping process through employment of contacts that can be easily grasped with a magnetic force instead of grasping the fabric itself. These ferromagnetic contacts could include components of the e-textile system that are already embedded into the textile prior to the assembly. This handling method provides accurate and reliable handling and placement of fabric part pieces. A simulation method was developed using CLO 3D software to simulate the impact of different grasping locations on various fabrics and fabric shapes to predict the placement reliability and failure modes. Through the accuracy and reliability of this handling and simulation method, if employed, it could enable new construction standards and capabilities for e-textile manufacturing. Automated handling must also provide improved efficiency and labor savings to warrant the investment of manufacturers. The impacts of implementing automated handling of fabric for the construction process of the US Army's Modular Scalable Vest (MSV) cummerbund were modeled using SIMIO software. Five different insertions of automated robotic handling were simulated to determine the implications on time and labor for batch and continuous production processes. The MSV was selected because of its appeal for future e-textile integration. Incorporating automation in the manufacturing of the cummerbund can increase efficiency and throughput, however, the automated equipment alone does not enable efficiency, it also requires careful planning of the automation insertion, operator scheduling and production layout. Automated equipment only provides value to manufacturing efficiency if the product utilizes the equipment. Textile products can be better designed when considering manufacturing and assembly constraints using Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles. Textile manufacturers were interviewed to develop design guidelines specific to the textile industry on how to improve the manufacturability and assembly feasibility to advance and improve textile product manufacturing. The US textile industry struggles to remain economically viable due to its dependence on manual labor which is scarce and expensive. Automating the manufacturing process through inserting robotic handling in conjunction with the existing automated equipment reduces labor, improves efficiency, and increases consistency to manufacture e-textile products.
