I'm not entirely sure how much labour is saved vs making it custom cut from the start, having to stand in the reach of an industrial robot and get blasted with a heat gun doesn't seem like a great customer experience... presumably all the relevant measurements had been taken ahead of time so a tool-path for the robot could be created

Seems less about saving labor and more about proving technology. You could take this concept a step further and 3d-scan the subject body with a laser, then 3d print a model, and the clothing draped on the model and heat-shrunk (rather than using a software to decide where to heat shrink and how much)
