Whether you use a Tajima, Barudan, Happy, ZSK, Ricoma, SWF, or any other brand, this is the answer

Simply enable at least one EmbroideryStudio e4 system with the add‑on EmbroideryConnect Element, configure the WiFi USB Stick to your WiFi network, plug the stick into your embroidery machine and you are ready to go.

Connections are now hassle free! There is no longer a need for serial ports, different interface methods or special wiring.

Multiple EmbroideryStudio e4 systems can wirelessly send designs to all EmbroideryConnect enabled machines on the same WiFi network.

Easily add machines to your network as your business grows. Just add a compatible WiFi USB Stick to each machine and EmbroideryConnect will allow you to transfer designs from EmbroideryStudio e4 to the right machine every time.

Free yourself from the constraints of cables, unreliable networks and stop wasting time walking the floor.

Leave the WiFi USB Sticks plugged into your embroidery machines, reducing wear and tear on the machine’s USB connector. Designs are pre-loaded into the stick’s local memory* and are available even if the network is down.

*WiFi USB Sticks must remain powered up to retain designs in local memory.
T&C: EmbroideryConnect is not available with EmbroideryStudio e4 Ordering, TrueSizer and TrueSizer Pro.
