Effortless embroidery production floor management with Pulse E
ffortless Embroidery Production Floor Management with PulseID Enterprise Networking provides the essential business intelligence and connectivity you need to boost productivity and manage your production floor. PulseIDʼs robust design downloading solution lets operators pull designs directly from your centralised database using a barcode scanner, while detailed dashboards and reporting systems are available to track the efficiency of individual machines, designs, and operators.
Overview
Networking technology developed by Pulse is installed in thousands of businesses worldwide, enabling companies of any size to take full control of their production floor and optimise day to day operations.
Operator efficiency
Give machine operators the ability to pull designs from your centralised database directly to their machines using a barcode
scanner. Networking also provides invaluable reporting on the efficiency of your machine operators.
Machine Statistics
Enables you to monitor each and every detail of your machines, from the current operational status, to a history of designs the machine has sewn out. Produce comprehensive productivity reports through the administration website, and view the current design the machine is working on from anywhere in the world.
New colourising app
The new colourising app manages colours in designs in a way that it is impossible to sew a design in the wrong colour. Simply scan a design to the machine, the machine will indicate if it needs a colour for the relevant job. Simply put this colour on, update and the job is ready to. The system knows all the time which colours are available on your machine for that job and even allocates the right needles to run with no mistakes.

f it is a new business where you have no idea of the potential then deciding on which machine to purchase can be a daunting prospect. Taking a decision to invest in a multi-head machine with its large capital cost can be a mistake if you end up with single garment orders. A four-head machine with three heads not working is not a very economical way to work.
Often the better decision is to initially invest in a single head machine and then add further heads as the business grows. This can have significant benefits as initially you preserve your cash (single head machines are a lot cheaper than multi-head units) when cash is inevitably tight. You are also able to test the market to see what kind of response you get from your customers to this new offering.
If this response is good, you can simply and easily add further machines, one at a time, to meet the increased demand. Most single head machines are easily portable so allow you to adapt your workspace as demand increases, and it is quite possible to run them in parallel with DTG printing or vinyl transfers, with one operator using both pieces of equipment. A hidden benefit of the single head production model, often unstated by retailers of the multi-head machines (for example a four-head), is the productivity increase available. With a multi-head machine, if a thread on one of the heads was to break all heads stop. This means there is no production on each of four heads until the needle is rethreaded and the machine is restarted. On four single head machines in a similar situation then only one head stops working, the other three continue stitching. A further benefit is at changeover of hoops, much less time is lost. On the multi-head machine, production stops, each of four stitched garments are unloaded, each of four new garments are loaded and then the machine can be started. If we accept that it takes around 20 seconds to unload each garment this is 80 seconds, then 20 seconds to reload, that is a further 80 seconds, then the entire four heads have been idle for 160 seconds. A total of 640 seconds of head running time is lost

then each head takes 20 seconds to unload and a further 20 seconds to reload. Once this is done that head can be restarted. That is 40 seconds of head running time lost. When the next head stops the process is repeated and so on. In total there is only down time of 160 seconds and all four heads are working again. A final benefit is that if a machine was to stop working, with the multi-head machine all productivity is lost, with the single head machines only 25% of productivity is lost, and the business can meet all orders with just a little overtime.
