Personalize efficiently and easily with embroidery machines

The solution for web shops, POS systems, automation and single names.

Do you operate a web shop or do you want to offer your customers customised individual items in your stores or at events? Do you produce a variety of name tags and badges? Do you want to offer these services to your customers as quickly, easily and cost-effectively as possible? Then there is only one way and that is automation! With our embroidery machines and corresponding software solutions, we bring your embroidery into Industry 4.0. Here's why:

Automation in embroidery

Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to have textiles automatically hooped by robots. However, thanks to our software products and state-of-the-art embroidery machines, we have already automated what can be automated today — here is an excerpt:

  • Embroidery designs are loaded onto the embroidery machine via a barcode or QR code reader
  • The colour assignment on the embroidery machine is fully automatic
  • The setting of the thread tension does not require any manual work
  • Production-ready embroidery files for mass-customization are created automatically

One embroidery file for everything

Melco embroidery machines work most efficiently with the OFM embroidery file format, which is created by our embroidery software DesignShop and our web services. In contrast to other manufacturers, the format allows us to store all production-relevant information on a single file. The OFM format therefore contains not only stitch information, but also colour information and information on special effect settings. Since the machine can also work with vector files, the size of the embroidery design can be reduced and enlarged by up to 20% without loss of quality.

Flexible thanks to the modular system

In a modular system, all embroidery machines work independently of each other and are connected via a network. With this solution, you can react flexibly to any order size and are therefore ideally prepared for the processing of personalized individual items.
