Shop Floor Platform for CNC Machining

A shop floor platform for CNC machining connects machine data, operator activity, job information, quality requirements, and business-system workflows at the workcenter. Harmoni uses that connected context to show live machine status, guide operators with the correct instructions and programs, capture production activity, and provide supervisors with current information for faster decisions. It works as an orchestration layer alongside existing CNC controls and ERP systems.

Harmoni connects to existing CNC equipment without requiring machine replacement. It supports major controls and equipment from Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. Where available, it uses MTConnect; adapter layers support older controls. The platform collects live machine status, cycle-time, utilization, and downtime information for use in machine-side workflows and management dashboards.

Yes. Harmoni provides 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, machine production time, scrap, and quality data to the ERP. This creates a more reliable link between actual shop floor activity, job costing, capacity planning, and reporting.

Automated program loading uses the RFID-detected job and part revision to load the appropriate CNC program, settings, offsets, and tool data at the machine. This reduces reliance on manual program selection and paper-based verification. By tying program delivery to current engineering revision control and job information, manufacturers can reduce wrong-program and wrong-revision scrap while shortening repetitive setup tasks.

Harmoni calculates OEE from the three core measures of availability, performance, and quality. It automatically collects relevant data from CNC controls and combines it with operator labor and quality data. Rather than reporting only a single score, the platform can classify losses by cause, including changeovers, breakdowns, micro-stops, material waits, operator waits, and quality holds, so improvement efforts can target specific constraints.

Yes. Harmoni can automatically present digital work instructions, setup sheets, engineering drawings, and SOPs based on the detected job and part revision. Operators can also complete digital in-process quality checksheets at the workcenter. These electronic records support real-time quality trend visibility and create auditable job documentation that can support ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, and ISO 13485 quality programs.

Harmoni’s long-range RFID technology automatically recognizes nearby employees and jobs at the machine, removing the need for manual badge swipes or keyboard entry. That identification can trigger the appropriate work instructions, program-loading workflow, and time-and-attendance capture. Labor records can then flow to integrated ERP systems, helping manufacturers improve accountability and create more accurate job-costing data.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks rather than requiring a machine replacement project. Deployment scope depends on the number and types of machines, required ERP connections, RFID workflows, and selected platform capabilities. A practical rollout typically begins by connecting existing equipment and defining the job, operator, quality, and data workflows that matter most, then expands across additional workcenters and functions.
