We will release the programming-specific software <SDS KnitPaint-Online>, which independently features the knitting data creation application 'KnitPaint' included in the All-in-One design system <SDS-ONE APEX> series, as well as <SDS KnitPaint-Online Collar> specifically for the collar knitting machine N.SSR072. SDS KnitPaint-Online automatically creates patterns through style selection and dimension input, and design data can also be utilized as programming data. It supports programming with built-in knitting know-how and features such as 'Knitting Assist', which detects errors in advance, and 'Knitting Viewer', which allows you to check the movement of needles and yarn in 3D. Additionally, it offers functions for confirming the completed image through loop simulation and design consideration. On the other hand, SDS KnitPaint-Online Collar focuses on the essential functions needed for collar programming, prioritizing usability. Both software can be installed on PCs, accommodating various work styles at home or in the workplace, and supporting the creation of products as envisioned. Release date: June 9, 2025.

We are pleased to announce the opening of our comprehensive customer support site, <SHIMA HelpCenter>, for the products we sell. SHIMA HelpCenter consolidates help, FAQs, operation manuals, and glossaries for SHIMA SEIKI products, enhancing user convenience by supporting cross-content keyword searches. Additionally, it provides clear explanations of various product functions through video tutorials, guiding users to smartly resolve any questions or issues they may have. With compatibility for smartphones and tablets, it can be accessed anytime and anywhere. To use SHIMA HelpCenter, you will need to register for an account with SHIMA SEIKI Online Services (commonly known as SHIMA online). SHIMA online is the web service platform operated by our company. By registering for a SHIMA online account, you can also access the online service <SHIMA Datamall>, which allows you to search, view, and purchase various digital data useful for planning, production, and sales of fashion items, all with the same ID.

We launched the online service "SHIMA Datamall" on June 1, 2022, which allows users to search, view, and purchase various digital data useful for planning, production, and sales of fashion items. The content of SHIMA Datamall can be utilized in conjunction with the yarn data search web service "yarnbank," as well as arranged with the "SDS-ONE APEX series" and "APEXFiz." Users of SHIMA SEIKI's 3D design system SDS-ONE APEX series and subscription design software APEXFiz, along with users of flat knitting machines, will enhance operational efficiency and further advance the digital transformation of manufacturing, achieving a shift towards sustainable production. <Product Name> SHIMA Datamall (Digital Content Web Service) <Content Details> The following content can be searched, viewed, and purchased: - Knit products (knitting data for original knit samples from SHIMA SEIKI) - Knit patterns (data for knit structures and jacquard patterns) - 3D base (data that serves as the base for 3D virtual samples)

We will release a software dedicated to pattern making, <APEXFiz PGM-Patternmaker>. This is an additional lineup of the subscription service <APEXFiz PGM>, which is an independent version of the new PGM software from the <SDS-ONE APEX> series, a design system that supports the entire apparel supply chain from upstream to downstream, released last year. APEXFiz PGM-Patternmaker is designed with the concept of "more intuitively and quickly," providing an interface that allows pattern makers to instantly shape their thoughts. By enabling operations based on the "surface concept," the need for the "partification" process, which recognizes CAD-specific lines as parts, has been eliminated. It is designed to be user-friendly, automatically recognizing specified lines and points, and allows for menu customization. <Product Name> APEXFiz PGM-Patternmaker (Pattern Design Software) <Release Date> February 2022
