Job Costing Platform for Machine Shops

A job costing platform helps machine shops measure the actual labor, machine time, production output, scrap, and quality activity associated with each job. Harmoni connects CNC machine data, RFID-based employee and job identification, digital records, and ERP workflows. This creates a more complete operational record than manual time entry or end-of-shift reporting, helping teams evaluate job performance while work is still in progress.

Harmoni automatically captures operational data at the workcenter rather than relying solely on manually entered records. RFID identifies the employee and job, machine monitoring supplies production and cycle-time context, and ERP integration sends labor, production, scrap, and quality information into connected workflows. By tying these sources together, manufacturers can reduce missed entries, delayed reconciliation, and uncertainty around actual job performance.

Yes. Harmoni offers native integrations with Epicor, Infor and Infor Visual, ECI JobBoss and JobBoss2, ABAS, and ODOO, along with custom integration options 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 manual data transfer and improving the connection between shop-floor activity and financial reporting.

Harmoni supports a broad range of CNC controls and manufacturing 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. The platform is designed to connect with existing equipment, so shops can add operational visibility without replacing compatible machines.

Harmoni uses long-range RFID technology to identify employees and jobs when an operator approaches a workcenter. This reduces the need for badge swipes and keyboard entry while providing context for time-and-attendance tracking, work instructions, and job activity. The resulting labor records can be sent to supported ERP systems, helping shops associate labor time with the appropriate job more consistently.

Yes. Harmoni can combine quality data and digital checksheet records with machine, labor, and ERP information. Operators can complete electronic in-process inspection forms at the machine, record measurements digitally, and create an auditable quality record by job. Including scrap, quality holds, and inspection activity in the operational picture helps teams investigate cost drivers and production issues with better context.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks, with no machine replacement required for compatible equipment. Deployment scope depends on the number of workcenters, CNC controls, ERP connections, and workflows being connected. A focused rollout can prioritize the machines, jobs, and data flows most important to job costing first, then expand to additional capabilities such as dashboards, checksheets, and digital work instructions.

Harmoni is designed for machine shop owners, controllers, plant managers, schedulers, manufacturing engineers, quality leaders, and ERP administrators. Each role can use connected data differently: operators receive workcenter context, supervisors see live production conditions, controllers review job-costing inputs, and leaders use dashboards to assess labor productivity, scrap, utilization, downtime, and on-time delivery across the operation.
