OEE & Downtime Monitoring Software Solutions

OEE monitoring measures how effectively equipment is used by tracking three factors: availability, performance, and quality. Availability reflects planned production time lost to stops, performance compares actual speed with ideal cycle time, and quality accounts for good output versus scrap. Harmoni automates these measurements with machine data and adds operator, job, ERP, and quality context for a more useful operational view.

Downtime monitoring software collects machine status and production signals to identify when equipment is running, idle, in setup, or stopped. Harmoni classifies downtime with reasons such as breakdowns, changeovers, material waits, operator waits, micro-stops, and quality holds. Teams can review patterns by machine, job, shift, or period, helping them focus corrective actions on the losses affecting capacity most.

OEE calculations require planned production time, actual run time, ideal cycle time, total output, and good output. Harmoni automatically captures relevant machine data from supported CNC controls and can combine it with operator labor and quality data. This produces availability, performance, and quality measurements that reflect actual shop-floor conditions rather than estimates entered after a shift.

Yes. Harmoni is designed to connect with existing CNC and manufacturing equipment, so a machine replacement is not required. It supports major control environments including Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. Where available, it is MTConnect-native and can use adapter layers to connect older controls.

Harmoni helps manufacturers capture and analyze specific reasons behind lost production time, including changeovers, equipment breakdowns, micro-stops, material waits, operator waits, and quality holds. Defining losses at this level gives continuous improvement, maintenance, and production teams a common basis for prioritizing action instead of relying on generic idle-time reports.

Harmoni offers native integrations with Epicor, Infor, Infor Visual, ECI JobBoss and JobBoss2, ABAS, and ODOO, with custom options for legacy and on-premise ERPs. It can push labor records, machine production time, scrap, and quality information automatically. This connects actual production activity to job costing, capacity planning, and financial reporting.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks while preserving the equipment already on the shop floor. The implementation approach depends on the machine controls, ERP environment, data requirements, and number of work centers involved. Because the platform connects to supported existing systems, teams can avoid a broad equipment-replacement project and begin building visibility sooner.

Plant managers, operations leaders, supervisors, manufacturing engineers, lean and continuous improvement teams, schedulers, and finance leaders can all benefit from real-time OEE dashboards. Role-based views provide each group with relevant information, from live machine conditions and shift performance to utilization, job costing, scrap, quality, and on-time delivery trends.
