EMT16X Multi-Head Modularity
What is Multi-Head Modularity?
Individual Melco EMT16X embroidery machines can be networked together, operated, and managed as a unified, multi-head solution. To expand your production capabilities, you simply network additional EMT16X machines whenever you need them. The Melco Operating System, or MOS, controls each embroidery machine individually, which gives production managers the flexibility to produce different embroidery designs on each machine at the same time.
What Modularity Means For Your Business
Independent Efficiency: Unlike a traditional multi-head setup, when one of your EMT16X machines has to be stopped for a thread change, hoop change or thread break, the other heads can keep stitching. This flexibility makes your setup up to 100% more efficient than a traditional multi-head machine and translates into massive, real-world savings.
Multi-Tasking Mastery: With a traditional multi-head machine, once you’ve started a job, your entire setup is tied up until it’s complete. With modular, independent machines, you have the freedom take on a smaller job that doesn’t need all the heads. You can now dedicate one head to a rush job without interrupting a project already in progress, keeping you and your customers happy.
Mass Personalization: Open up new revenue streams by offering name customization on large orders. Since each head is independently controlled, you can have each machine stitch a different name on each item – perfect for jerseys, uniforms and more! The software even handles name changes automatically with a design queue; when an item is finished, just change the hoop and go!
With the flexibility to network up to 30 machines together, you’ll find Melco multi-head setups in all sizes of customization businesses around the world. From small business being run in a garage to giant factories with dozens of machine heads, Melco’s reliability and capabilities are trusted across the industry.
The EMT16X is a commercial embroidery machine ideal for production and flexible multi-head applications. Many of our customers start with a single embroidery machine and then add more machines to create a multi-head network as production demands increase. And since your machines can be anywhere there’s a network cable, you can set up a workspace that works for you. No other embroidery machine can support business growth like Melco!
If you delve into this industry, you’ll quickly come across the term “personalization.” This is a key element of embroidery, as much of the monogramming industry revolves around the concept of personalized gifts such as hats, purses, tote bags, towels, and blankets. While personalization itself is nothing new, the concept of mass personalization is a relatively recent development, and it’s an area where Melco excels. So what exactly is mass personalization? Essentially, it involves creating a large number of customized items simultaneously. With Melco’s OS computer network, production managers can easily produce a variety of designs on multiple embroidery machines at once, streamlining the process of mass personalization.
