Smarter Digital Work Instructions with AI

Digital work instructions are electronic versions of setup sheets, SOPs, drawings, and process guidance that operators access while performing a job. Harmoni delivers these documents at the machine based on the detected job and part revision. This replaces paper packets and manual document searches, helping operators use current requirements and giving manufacturers a more consistent, auditable execution process.

Harmoni associates the detected job and part revision with the information presented at the workcenter. Instead of relying on an operator to locate and verify a paper copy, the platform surfaces the relevant work instructions, engineering drawings, and setup information for that job. This reduces the risk of running an outdated instruction or using documentation intended for another revision.

Yes. Harmoni provides a centralized command center at each workcenter, allowing operators to view the appropriate work instructions and job information at the machine. The platform is designed to work alongside existing CNC equipment and supports major controls including Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal.

Harmoni uses long-range RFID to identify the operator and job near a machine without manual badge swipes or keyboard entry. With that context, the platform can surface the corresponding digital instructions, identify the relevant part revision, and support time-and-attendance tracking. This reduces non-productive manual steps while connecting workcenter activity to the correct production information.

Digital work instructions can support documentation practices for ISO 9001 and AS9100 by making controlled instructions and job-specific records available electronically. Harmoni also supports digital quality checksheets that create auditable quality records per job. Manufacturers remain responsible for their own compliance programs, but the platform helps organize execution and documentation around controlled requirements.

Harmoni integrates with major manufacturing ERP systems, including Epicor, Infor and Infor Visual, ECI JobBoss and JobBoss2, ABAS, and ODOO. It can automatically push labor records, machine production time, scrap, and quality data into ERP workflows. Custom integration options are available for legacy and on-premise systems when needed.

Yes. Harmoni’s automated program loading capability uses the RFID-detected job and part revision to load the correct CNC program, settings, offsets, and tool data. Pairing program delivery with machine-side work instructions helps reduce the daily uncertainty around which program and documentation apply, while reducing wrong-program and wrong-revision scrap risks.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks and connect with existing CNC equipment rather than requiring machine replacement. Deployment considerations include machine control compatibility, ERP integration needs, job and document workflows, and the information each workcenter requires. A practical rollout can focus on targeted machines or processes before expanding to additional operations across the facility.
