Manufacturing Observability Software for Connected Operations

The best manufacturing software is the one that addresses the operational gap you need to solve. For real-time shop-floor visibility, Harmoni combines machine data, ERP transactions, operator activity, and quality information in one platform. This helps manufacturers monitor OEE, classify downtime, improve labor and job-cost data, deliver current work instructions, and respond to issues before they become end-of-shift surprises.

Manufacturing observability software provides a real-time, connected view of production by bringing together data from machines, operators, ERP systems, quality processes, and workflows. Rather than showing isolated metrics, it supplies operational context: what machine is running, which job is active, who is present, what caused downtime, and how performance affects production, quality, and job costing.

Harmoni connects directly to CNC and manufacturing equipment to collect live machine status, cycle-time data, utilization, downtime information, and OEE inputs. It supports major controls including Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. Where supported, it is MTConnect-native, with adapter layers available for older controls and legacy equipment.

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

OEE monitoring measures three core production factors: availability, performance, and quality. Harmoni uses automatically collected machine data alongside labor and quality inputs to calculate these factors in real time. It also helps teams classify losses such as changeovers, breakdowns, micro-stops, material waits, operator waits, and quality holds, so improvement work can focus on specific causes.

Yes. Harmoni is designed to connect with existing manufacturing equipment rather than require machine replacement. It supports a broad range of CNC controls and brands, including both current and older equipment. Compatibility services include documentation, integration support, and on-site startup assistance, helping manufacturers extend visibility across mixed machine fleets.

Digital work instructions deliver the correct setup sheets, engineering drawings, SOPs, and job instructions to the operator at the machine. Harmoni can match instructions to an RFID-detected job and part revision, reducing paper use and revision-control mistakes. This supports more consistent execution and helps document processes for ISO 9001, AS9100, and CMMC-related requirements.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks, allowing manufacturers to begin connecting existing machines, workflows, and systems without a lengthy equipment replacement project. Deployment scope depends on the number of workcenters, control types, ERP connections, and workflow requirements. The platform’s compatibility approach helps teams phase adoption while building toward broader shop-floor visibility and orchestration.
