METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING OF SHOE PARTS

A method for manufacturing shoe parts in an automated manner is disclosed. The method comprises: positioning a first shoe part on a support surface and at a first manufacturing station, wherein the first shoe part is substantially flat on the support surface; placing by a first automated part pickup tool a second shoe part on top of the first shoe part, wherein a first automated attachment tool attaches the second shoe part to the first shoe part, thereby forming an assembly of the first shoe part and the second shoe part; moving the assembly of the first shoe part and the second shoe part to a second manufacturing station, wherein a second automated part pickup tool places a third shoe part on top of the assembly of the first shoe part and the second shoe part; and attaching by a second automated attachment tool the third shoe part to the assembly of the first shoe part and the second shoe part.
