For most CNC machine shops, the ERP system is the system of record. It is where you take in your customer orders and cut jobs for specific part revisions. It is where you track job costing standards and analyze variances. For all of these reasons, Harmoni considers ERP integration a key component to our solution. We have built into Harmoni many standard integrations that will effortlessly connect to your ERP. We have also created customization layers that allow for non-standard integrations to be built.
Why Integrate Your Machines With Your ERP Data?
Get the full story on job costing when you combine cycle time with labor records.
Add safeguards to prevent scrap before the cycle starts.
Automate non-productive tasks (MES, loading programs, setting offsets, locating work instructions, etc.)
Improve your efficiency with real-time data.

RFID Tag Association
Inexpensive RFID tags are applied to job paperwork and employee badges. These tags will automatically be read as the employee approaches the terminal, ensuring perfect data accuracy with ease.
Automatic Labor & Machine Time Tracking
Avoid the wasted effort of operators using ERP labor collection kiosks. The Harmoni terminal handles your labor collection for job costing directly at the machine. We record time, quantities completed, and quantities scrapped directly into your ERP system. RFID stickers simplify the entire process, reducing it to a matter of a few screen taps by the operator. And all of this is seamlessly paired to spindle time for powerful analysis of shop performance.
Accurate + Interactive Work Instructions
Harmoni displays the correct work instructions that have been defined in your ERP for the job, eliminating mistakes and unproductive set-up time. Our interactive work instructions give CNC operators text, visual guides, and even video to help ensure part accuracy and efficiency.
Correct DNC Program Loading
Eliminate operator errors and expensive scrapped materials by automatically associating the correct CNC program with the part and order via your ERP. THe program can be automatically selected and sent to the machine tool using Harmoni’s built-in DNC software.
Real-time Efficiency Alerts
Know in real-time what machine tools are running according to plan and which are falling behind. Our high-intensity indicator light provides real-time factory cues as to how well a work cell is performing based on ERP plan data.
Deep Integration With Other Business Systems
In addition to the multiple ways Harmoni integrates your people and machines with your ERP, we can also integrate with quality and maintenance software systems, enabling a holistic view of manufacturing performance.
