Production Monitoring Platform for Automotive Parts

A production monitoring platform collects and organizes live information from manufacturing equipment, operators, quality activities, and business systems. For automotive parts production, it helps teams view machine status, cycle activity, downtime, labor, scrap, quality checks, and job progress in one environment. This lets supervisors address bottlenecks during a shift rather than relying on delayed reports after production is complete.

Harmoni connects to CNC and manufacturing equipment to capture live machine status, cycle-time data, utilization, downtime, and OEE-related information. It supports major controls and equipment from Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. MTConnect-native connections are used where supported, while adapter layers can help connect older controls without requiring machine replacement.

Yes. Harmoni tracks the three OEE components: availability, performance, and quality. It combines automatically collected machine data with operator labor and quality information to provide context around performance losses. Teams can classify downtime by causes such as changeover, breakdown, material wait, operator wait, micro-stop, or quality hold, helping continuous-improvement efforts focus on specific conditions.

Harmoni offers native integrations with Epicor, Infor, Infor Visual, ECI JobBoss, JobBoss2, ABAS, and ODOO. It can also support custom integration work for legacy and on-premise ERP environments. The platform can automatically send labor records, machine production time, scrap, and quality data to the ERP, reducing manual entry, CSV imports, and daily reconciliation work.

Harmoni’s long-range RFID technology identifies the employee and job at a machine without requiring manual badge swipes or keyboard entry. That job and part-revision context can trigger the correct CNC program, work instructions, setup information, and time tracking. By presenting the right information at the workcenter, manufacturers can reduce wrong-program, wrong-revision, and paper-driven execution errors.

Yes. Digital checksheets replace paper in-process inspection forms with electronic records completed at the machine. Operators can record measurements digitally, while teams can review real-time quality trends through SPC-style control charts. Each job receives an auditable digital quality record, supporting documentation needs associated with quality programs such as IATF 16949, ISO 9001, AS9100, and ISO 13485.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks rather than requiring replacement of existing CNC machines. The implementation scope depends on the number of machines, controls, ERP connections, workflows, and workcenters involved. A focused rollout can prioritize live machine monitoring and dashboards first, then expand into RFID, digital instructions, quality checksheets, program loading, and automated ERP data flows.

Yes. Harmoni offers multi-factor authentication at the machine for sensitive jobs, controlled technical data, customer-restricted programs, and defense-related work. It maintains audit logs showing who accessed a machine, program, and time of access. The platform supports DFARS-aligned cybersecurity practices and CMMC access-management requirements, with a Government Cloud deployment option for contractors handling CUI.
