Use automated checks for the right job
Machine metrics, preview artifacts, reports, and marker checks can make a file ready for sewout review.
Require physical evidence
Production approval should come from a stitched sample tied back to the exact design and artifact hashes.
Keep the decision trail
Design state, gate results, audit events, support notes, artifacts, and packet manifests make approval decisions inspectable.
Why this matters
Embroidery quality depends on material behavior. A workflow that records sewout evidence protects operators, customers, and the production floor.
No hosted shortcut
The hosted service must never bypass the sewout gate or imply production approval from software checks alone.
Operator questions
What this page can honestly claim
When is a file production-ready?
In this product model, production-ready means the file has software evidence and matching physical sewout approval.
Can I still download software-ready files?
Yes. Operators can download allowed artifacts and packet ZIPs while the status remains clear about pending sewout approval.
Next step
Run the workflow with the production boundary visible.
Queue artwork, inspect generated evidence, and keep physical sewout approval separate from software readiness.
