Best ERP Solutions for Aerospace Manufacturing

An aerospace manufacturing ERP solution manages core business and production processes such as job costing, planning, purchasing, inventory, scheduling, and financial reporting. Harmoni complements these systems by connecting ERP workflows to live shop-floor activity. It captures machine, labor, quality, and job data so the information used for costing, capacity, and delivery decisions more closely reflects actual production conditions.

Harmoni offers native integrations with Epicor, Infor, Infor Visual, ECI JobBoss and JobBoss2, ABAS, and ODOO. It can also support custom integrations for legacy and on-premise ERP environments. The platform can automatically push labor records, machine production time, scrap, and quality data into ERP workflows, reducing CSV imports, duplicate entry, and daily reconciliation work.

Digital quality checksheets create electronic in-process inspection records by job, including measurements and quality trends. Digital work instructions can present the current setup sheets, drawings, SOPs, and controlled requirements at the machine. Together, these capabilities help aerospace manufacturers replace paper records, improve traceability, and maintain documentation practices that support AS9100 quality program requirements.

Yes. Harmoni connects to a broad range of CNC controls and equipment, including Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. It is MTConnect-native where supported and can use adapter layers for older controls. Manufacturers can gain machine visibility without replacing compatible existing equipment or standardizing on one machine brand.

Real-time machine monitoring captures production time, utilization, downtime classifications, and related shop-floor activity as work occurs. RFID-based employee and job identification adds labor context without relying on manual keyboard entry or badge swipes. When this information flows into ERP workflows, teams have a stronger basis for job costing, capacity analysis, productivity reviews, and operational reporting.

Harmoni helps reduce revision-control risk by detecting the job and part revision through RFID workflows, then delivering the relevant work instructions, setup information, and CNC program data to the work center. Automated program loading can include the correct program, settings, offsets, and tool data. This structured process helps limit wrong-program and wrong-revision errors that can lead to scrap or rework.

Harmoni offers multi-factor authentication at the machine for sensitive jobs and controlled programs. It records audit logs showing who accessed a machine, program, and time of access. The platform supports DFARS-aligned cybersecurity practices and CMMC access-management requirements, with a Government Cloud deployment option for defense contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks rather than requiring a machine-replacement project. Deployment scope depends on the number of machines, CNC control types, ERP connections, and selected workflows, such as monitoring, quality checksheets, or program loading. Because the platform works with many existing controls and ERP systems, teams can prioritize the operational areas where visibility and control are needed first.
