delete in each individual embroidery machine. The operator can
view individual embroidery machine’s daily operation log,
discover problems (if any) of machine during production without
delay.

1.2 Main Features

 Centralize Patterns Management in one computer system, direct manage and

control all Embroidery Machines’ working patterns.

 Utilize Wireless Network as data transfer media, makes future factory

development more flexible, when factory install new embroidery machines, just a

few steps software setup can easily add those new machines into Wireless

Embroidery Management System.

 Fast wireless data transfer rate, can be done in batch process.

 Users’ authority management, protect machines from unauthorized operation.
