Siemens today announced that Jack Technology Co., Ltd., a global leader in industrial sewing equipment, has selected Siemens technologies to accelerate digital innovation across apparel manufacturing operations. The collaboration brings together low‑code application development, advanced product engineering and intelligent automation to support more flexible, responsive and software‑driven production environments.
Jack Technology will deploy Siemens’ new industrial AI orchestration software, Intelligence Center X, starting with Mendix for agentic low code development, and Designcenter™ software for advanced product engineering – both from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio – to streamline product development, reduce complexity and support new applications for AI and humanoid robotics in sewing workshops.
Headquartered in China, Jack Technology serves customers in more than 160 countries and operates in a highly competitive market shaped by rising demand for shorter lead times, increased product customisation and improved cost efficiency. To address these pressures, the company is integrating AI‑enabled systems and humanoid robots into traditional sewing environments to improve flexibility, responsiveness and production performance.
To support this transformation, Jack Technology will deploy an integrated suite of Siemens’ technologies, including Intelligence Center X and Mendix to rapidly build, deploy and iterate manufacturing and robotics‑related applications, and Designcenter engineering software to support product design, simulation and manufacturing for complex mechanical systems such as humanoid robots. Siemens will also provide specialised technical training to support the development of a dedicated digital platform for the sewing equipment industry.
“Collaborating with Siemens marks a critical step in advancing our digital strategy,” said Hu Wenhai, President of New Product Development at Jack Technology. “The flexibility of Intelligence Center X – Mendix, combined with the capabilities of Siemens’ Designcenter, will help us manage growing manufacturing complexity, accelerate innovation and deliver more intelligent solutions to our customers.”
The integration of Siemen’s digital engineering and agentic enterprise system is designed to deliver measurable operational benefits. Jack Technology expects to shorten development cycles, improve product quality, optimise production workflows, reduce costs and increase overall manufacturing efficiency by up to 30%.
The collaboration reflects a broader shift across the apparel manufacturing sector, as companies adopt software driven engineering, agentic low code development and AI enabled automation to modernise operations and improve responsiveness to evolving market demands.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Jack Technology to explore the potential of intelligent manufacturing, including the application of AI and humanoid robotics,” said Raymond Kok, CEO, Mendix, a Siemens business. “By combining agentic low code development with digital product engineering, manufacturers can move faster from concept to production.”
“This collaboration highlights how digital technologies are reshaping apparel manufacturing,” said Leo Liang, senior vice president and managing director for Greater China, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “With Siemens’ AI-enabled software portfolio, Jack Technology is well positioned to strengthen innovation capabilities and deliver greater value across the global apparel manufacturing ecosystem.”
