Labor Reporting Platform for Machine Shops

A labor reporting platform captures and organizes the time employees spend on specific jobs, machines, and work activities. In a machine shop, Harmoni uses RFID employee and job identification to connect operators to workcenters automatically. It combines those labor records with machine and ERP data, creating a more complete record for job costing, productivity analysis, capacity planning, and daily production management.

Harmoni uses long-range RFID technology to identify an operator and the job associated with a workcenter without requiring manual badge swipes or keyboard entry. When an operator approaches a machine, the platform can recognize who is present and what job is being performed. This helps automate time-and-attendance reporting, supports the correct work context, and creates labor records that can flow into ERP workflows.

Yes. Harmoni supports native integrations with Epicor, Infor and Infor Visual, ECI JobBoss and JobBoss2, ABAS, and ODOO, with custom integrations available for legacy and on-premise ERP environments. It can automatically push labor records, machine production time, scrap, and quality data into the ERP. This reduces manual re-entry, CSV imports, and the reconciliation work that can delay job-costing updates.

Accurate job costing requires dependable actual labor time tied to the correct job. Harmoni captures labor activity at the machine and pairs it with job identification, machine production data, and ERP workflows. That reduces reliance on memory-based entries, paper records, and end-of-shift corrections. Finance and operations teams gain a clearer view of actual labor consumption, production progress, and the drivers behind job profitability.

Harmoni is designed to connect to existing equipment without requiring machine replacement. It supports major CNC controls and equipment from Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. Where available, it is MTConnect-native and can use adapter layers for older controls. Compatibility planning, documentation, integration support, and on-site startup assistance are available.

Role-based Harmoni dashboards can bring together labor productivity, job costing, machine utilization, downtime, OEE, scrap, quality, and on-time delivery data. Plant managers, supervisors, engineers, schedulers, and executives can view the metrics appropriate to their responsibilities at live, hourly, shift, daily, or weekly intervals. This shared visibility helps teams identify bottlenecks and address problems while production is still underway.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks, not through a prolonged machine-replacement project. The deployment scope depends on the number and type of machines, the ERP environment, desired workflows, and the data connections required. Because the platform works with existing supported equipment and systems, teams can focus implementation on connecting workcenters, configuring operational context, and preparing users for a consistent shop-floor workflow.

Yes. Harmoni supports digital records and controlled workflows relevant to regulated manufacturing. Digital checksheets can support documentation for ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, and ISO 13485 quality programs. Digital work instructions support revision control, while machine-side multi-factor authentication and audit logs can support DFARS-aligned practices and CMMC access-management requirements. A Government Cloud deployment option is available for defense contractors handling CUI.
