Multifactor Authentication for Machines That Protects Highly Controlled Manufacturing Programs, Drawings, & Parts
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
In an era where precision and protection are critical, especially within the aerospace and military manufacturing sectors, ensuring that sensitive data and information remains accessible only to authorized personnel through secure authentication is not just an option; it’s a requirement. Harmoni’s (patent pending) multifactor authentication for manufacturing and machine security empowers factories to enforce unparalleled access control and robust security right at the machine.

Secure Access to Highly Sensitive Projects for Data Protection
Multifactor authentication for manufacturing by Harmoni introduces a robust layer of security that integrates seamlessly with your manufacturing operations. This innovative feature ensures access to sensitive drawings, documents, programs, and part information is strictly reserved for authorized operators, helping to provide data security and eliminating the opportunity for an operator to access or steal valuable intellectual property. In addition to RFID authentication, Harmoni’s advanced facial recognition technology verifies an individual’s identity in real-time to enhance security and safeguard your most critical data from unauthorized access.
For aerospace and military projects, where the stakes are exceptionally high, our multifactor authentication for manufacturing offers peace of mind to your machine shop. It not only enhances your shop’s security protocols (to safeguard machines and operators), but also streamlines access management. With this feature, administrators can effortlessly control and monitor access permissions, ensuring that you remain compliant and only the right eyes see your customer’s sensitive information.
Multi-Factor Authentication Methods
Harmoni utilizes RFID technology to instantly recognize the operator that is at the machine. Through a secondary authentication method, such as a PIN or facial recognition (biometric authentication), the networked machines can verify the operator is authorized to access secure data, drawings, or programs.
Secure Data
Once the operator is identified using multi-factor authentication, they can access secure documents, drawings, programs, checksheets, and more. Facial recognition ensures that the operator has permission to view and access secure materials.
Administrator Setup
The administrator can perform a one-time facial scan of their operators and then assign relevant permissions to individual portions of highly sensitive and secure jobs, parts, drawings, programs, machines, and more.
Operator Access
Harmoni restricts access to each individual function of a restricted job or part. Operators use the onboard Harmoni camera to do facial scans as a secondary authentication method when clocking in or out of a machine, starting a job, viewing work instructions, accessing programs, utilizing digital quality checksheets, and more.
What is Harmoni?
Real-time Machine Monitoring, OEE, and Data Collection
Harmoni is the #1 solution for real-time machine data collection – everything from machine monitoring, real-time OEE, & labor & job data collection — all accomplished through via long-range RFID.
By connecting to your machines, operators, and shop floor systems, Harmoni acts as a powerful machine monitoring system that truly connects your entire machine shop together. By automatically detecting nearby employees and jobs, Harmoni, automates unproductive data collection and production tasks, all while eliminating potential mistakes.
We simplify the entry of time records into ERP systems, load the correct programs for the detected part revisions, and combine machine data with transactional data to provide a holistic view of factory capacity and performance.
