Advanced CNC Connect Services for Manufacturers

CNC connect is used to link CNC machines with the people, programs, job data, quality records, and business systems involved in production. Harmoni uses this connection to provide live machine status, automate program and instruction delivery, identify jobs and operators, record labor activity, and send production information to ERP systems. The result is better visibility and more consistent shop-floor execution.

Harmoni supports major CNC controls and equipment from Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. Where MTConnect is available, the platform can use that connection; adapter layers can help connect older controls. Compatibility is evaluated against the specific machine, control generation, available interfaces, and operational data required by the manufacturer.

No. Harmoni is designed to connect to existing manufacturing equipment, including mixed fleets and older controls, without requiring machine replacement. The platform collects and coordinates available machine data while connecting it with operator, job, quality, and ERP information. A compatibility review helps determine the appropriate connection method and the data available from each workcenter.

Yes. Harmoni offers native integrations for Epicor, Infor and Infor Visual, ECI JobBoss and JobBoss2, ABAS, and ODOO, with custom integration options for legacy and on-premise ERP environments. It can automatically move labor records, machine production time, scrap, and quality data into the ERP, reducing manual entry, CSV imports, and reconciliation work.

Automated program loading associates the detected job and part revision with the correct CNC program, settings, offsets, and tool data. This removes uncertainty about which program should run and helps prevent wrong-program or wrong-revision scrap. It also reduces manual setup tasks and supports controlled program distribution and engineering revision workflows at the machine.

Real-time monitoring can capture machine status, cycle-time data, utilization, downtime classification, and OEE-related information. Harmoni adds context by combining those signals with operator activity, job details, ERP transactions, and quality data. Teams can distinguish causes such as changeovers, breakdowns, material waits, operator waits, micro-stops, or quality holds instead of seeing only generic downtime.

Yes. Digital checksheets capture in-process measurements and create an auditable electronic quality record for each job. Digital work instructions can present the appropriate setup sheets, drawings, SOPs, and revision-specific requirements at the machine. These capabilities support documentation practices used in ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, ISO 13485, CMMC, and related controlled manufacturing environments.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks, using existing CNC equipment rather than a machine-replacement project. Timing depends on the number and types of machines, control connectivity, ERP integration scope, and desired workflows. A focused implementation typically prioritizes the workcenters and data flows that will provide the most immediate operational visibility and execution improvement.
