Shop Floor Control Software for Manufacturers

Shop floor control software helps manufacturers manage and improve production activity where work is performed. It connects information such as machine status, labor activity, job progress, quality checks, work instructions, and downtime reasons. Teams use it to make execution more consistent, identify bottlenecks sooner, reduce manual reporting, and provide operations leaders with timely production data for scheduling, costing, and continuous improvement.

Harmoni connects directly to supported CNC controls and manufacturing equipment to collect live status, cycle-time, utilization, and downtime information. It supports major controls including Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. Where available, it uses MTConnect; adapter layers support older controls. The platform is designed to work with existing equipment rather than require machine replacement.

Yes. Harmoni offers 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 entry and supports more accurate job costing, capacity planning, and reporting.

Harmoni’s long-range RFID technology identifies the employee and job at the machine without manual badge swipes or keyboard entry. That context can trigger the right work instructions, setup information, CNC program, and labor tracking for the active job and part revision. By automating identification, teams reduce administrative steps, improve accountability, and help prevent wrong-job or wrong-revision execution.

Yes. Automated Program Loading uses the RFID-detected job and part revision to load the correct CNC program, settings, offsets, and tool data. Digital work instructions can also display the current drawings, setup sheets, and SOPs at the machine. Together, these controls reduce reliance on paper documents and manual program selection, helping prevent wrong-program and wrong-revision scrap.

Harmoni can bring together OEE, machine utilization, downtime reasons, cycle-time data, labor productivity, job costing, scrap, quality, and on-time delivery. Dashboards are role-based, allowing plant managers, supervisors, engineers, schedulers, and executives to view the metrics relevant to their responsibilities. Data can be viewed at live, hourly, shift, daily, or weekly cadences for operational and strategic decisions.

Harmoni 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 and retain auditable records by job. The capability supports documentation needs associated with ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, and ISO 13485 quality programs. Digital work instructions also support controlled documentation workflows.

Harmoni offers multi-factor authentication at the machine for sensitive jobs and controlled programs. It creates audit logs showing who accessed a machine, program, and time of access. These capabilities support DFARS-aligned cybersecurity practices and CMMC access-management requirements for defense contractors. A Government Cloud deployment option is available for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information and other restricted manufacturing data.
