Manufacturing Automation Software Platform for Connected Operations

An automation platform is a system that connects processes and triggers actions using real-time information. In manufacturing, Harmoni is an example: it combines machine data, RFID-based employee and job identification, ERP workflows, and engineering requirements. It can deliver the right work instructions, load the correct CNC program, capture production activity, and surface issues at the workcenter as conditions change.

Manufacturing automation software reduces manual, non-productive work by connecting equipment, people, and operational systems. Harmoni collects live machine data, identifies jobs and operators through RFID, coordinates program and instruction delivery, and sends relevant labor, production, scrap, and quality information to connected ERP workflows. The result is more consistent execution and faster awareness of production problems.

Yes. Harmoni is designed to connect with existing manufacturing equipment rather than require machine replacement. It supports major CNC controls, including Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. Where applicable, it uses MTConnect and can use adapter layers for older controls, helping mixed-equipment shops gain a unified operational view.

Harmoni provides native integrations for Epicor, Infor, Infor Visual, ECI JobBoss, JobBoss2, ABAS, and ODOO. It can also support custom integrations for legacy and on-premise ERP systems. Connected workflows can automatically pass labor records, machine production time, scrap, and quality data into the ERP, reducing manual entry, CSV imports, and reconciliation work.

Real-time monitoring shows machine status, cycle-time data, utilization, and downtime as activity occurs. Instead of discovering losses after a shift or after a job closes, supervisors and improvement teams can see breakdowns, changeovers, material waits, operator waits, micro-stops, and quality holds sooner. This supports targeted action, stronger capacity decisions, and more dependable production reporting.

Yes. Harmoni’s automated program loading can use RFID-detected job and part-revision information to load the correct CNC program, settings, offsets, and tool data. Digital work instructions can also present the applicable drawings, setup sheets, and SOPs at the machine. Together, these controls reduce reliance on paper documents, memory, and manual program selection.

Harmoni digital checksheets replace paper in-process inspection forms with electronic records completed at the machine. Teams can capture measurements, review real-time quality trends, and create auditable records by job. These workflows can support documentation needs associated with ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, and ISO 13485 quality programs, while digital instructions help maintain revision control.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks, with no machine replacement required. Deployment scope depends on the equipment, ERP environment, workflows, and integrations selected, but the platform is built to connect existing controls and operational systems efficiently. A focused implementation can prioritize high-value use cases such as live monitoring, OEE, program loading, labor tracking, or ERP data automation.
