The Harmoni terminal includes a powerful RFID antenna that reads RFID stickers up to 15 feet away.  So when an operator approaches the terminal with an RFID employee badge, they will automatically be listed on the People screen.  Operators can also be added manually or via barcode scans.

Clocking in is simply a matter of the employee tapping on their name and pressing the ‘Clock In’ button.  If your ERP system supports labor records, we will record this transaction into your ERP in real time.  A live camera feed presented during this process ensures no “buddy punches” are occurring.

To begin work on a job, click on the ‘Add Activity’ tab.  Here you will see all jobs we have auto-detected via the RFID stickers on their paperwork.  If you don’t see your job here, you can key it in manually or scan via barcode.  Simply tap ‘Setup’ or ‘Run’ for the job you wish to begin.

We are always recording the state changes of the CNC machine.  Every segment of time (running, stopped, interrupted, emergency stop) is recorded into our tables with the start and stop time.  We seamlessly pair this data the collected labor information to provide powerful analytics.  Slice and dice these machine state segments by part / rev, shift, employee, machine, etc.

When an operator has finished a given job, they return to the People tab and tap the card of the job they are working on.  From here a sidebar will allow them to enter finished quantities, scrap (and the scrap reason), notes, and whether the operation has been completed.  As with everything else, if your ERP system supports labor records we will be writing these in real time.

When an operator is done for the day, they simply tap the ‘Clock Out’ button to end their day.
