Sawyer Meets Chanel: Revolutionizing Durability Testing in Fashion.

Meet Sawyer, a Robot that Is programmed and designed to undertake testing focused on evaluating the durability and strength of bag straps. This robotic assistant plays a crucial role in subjecting the straps to pulling tests, simulating real-life scenarios to gauge their resilience and performance.

The pulling tests cover various real-life situations, including:

1. Carrying Heavy Load ( OVERSTUFFING): the robotic arm will preform a pulling test that simulates situations where the bag is subjected to the weight of heavy items. By applying tension and pulling forces, this test assesses how well the strap can withstand the strain and pulling forces when the bag is carrying a significant load. It provides valuable insights into the strap's ability to endure and maintain its integrity under such demanding conditions.

2. Tugging or Quick and Dynamic Movements: This test replicates scenarios where the bag might experience sudden tugging or jerking movements. It simulates situations where the bag gets caught on an object or experiences abrupt pulls such as crowded environments situations, or when the bag’s chain strap gets caught in a door handle .The sudden pull can subject the strap to significant force, By subjecting the strap to these simulated movements, manufacturers can assess its capability to withstand dynamic forces and maintain its durability over time.

Through the utilization of Sawyer, the collaborative robot, and the execution of these pulling tests in real-life scenarios, Chanel can gain a comprehensive understanding of the strap's durability and strength
