Melco Debuts SUMMIT Manager Embroidery Production Management Software

Published: November 7, 2025

Software solution centralizes machine management, streamlines design prep and boosts efficiency

Melco International, an industry leader in modular embroidery technology, recently announced the debut of what it’s calling its new, Melco SUMMIT Manager system. Designed to revolutionize embroidery production management, SUMMIT Manager is described as providing custom embroidery operators and business owners with total visibility and control across their production floors. From design prep to job queuing and real-time machine monitoring, the software delivers precision, efficiency and simplicity—core to what Melco describes as its “modular innovation philosophy.”

“Embroidery production is fast-paced and complex,” said Matthias Kondler, president at Melco. “As the leader in modularity, we’ve always believed that flexibility should never come at the cost of control. With SUMMIT Manager, we’re giving shop owners and operators a single hub to manage every stage of production—from design prep to real-time machine monitoring. It’s all about helping our customers scale smarter, work faster, and eliminate inefficiencies that slow them down.”

Management Software for Large and Small Commercial Custom Embroidery Shops

Built for both small custom embroidery shops and large-scale production facilities, Melco SUMMIT Manager connects directly with Melco SUMMIT embroidery machines, offering:

  • Real-time Production Floor Preview – Instantly see the status, progress, and health of every connected machine.
  • Automated Design Preparation – Pre-set hoops, stitch speeds, thread colors, and Acti-feed settings for error-free production.
  • Smart Job Queuing – Queue multiple designs across one or many machines, prioritize jobs, and keep production flowing.
  • Custom Layouts – Arrange your on-screen view to mirror your real production floor for complete visibility and control.

“SUMMIT Manager represents the next step in intelligent embroidery production,” Kondler said. “It gives operators the freedom and visibility they need to scale with confidence, knowing every design is prepped, queued, and ready to run.”
