Machine Uptime Monitoring & Tracking Solutions

Machine uptime is the amount of time a machine is available and actively capable of producing compared with the time it was scheduled to run. In manufacturing, uptime tracking usually includes running time, idle time, downtime, changeovers, waiting events, and breakdowns. Harmoni captures this data directly from machines and combines it with operator, job, ERP, and quality context.

Machine uptime monitoring works by collecting live data from equipment controls, operator activity, and production systems. Harmoni connects to CNC and manufacturing equipment, tracks running and stopped states, classifies downtime, and displays utilization in dashboards. This helps teams identify issues during the shift instead of discovering them after manual reports are compiled.

Harmoni supports a broad range of CNC controls and manufacturing equipment, including Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. It is MTConnect-native where supported and can use adapter layers for older controls, allowing manufacturers to monitor mixed fleets without replacing existing equipment.

Yes. Harmoni integrates with major manufacturing ERP systems, including Epicor, Infor, Infor Visual, ECI JobBoss, JobBoss2, ABAS, and ODOO. It can push machine production time, labor records, scrap, and quality data into ERP workflows, reducing manual entry and improving job costing, capacity planning, and finance reporting accuracy.

Yes. Harmoni goes beyond simple run/stop visibility by identifying specific downtime reasons such as changeover, breakdown, micro-stop, material wait, operator wait, and quality hold. Classifying downtime helps continuous improvement teams focus effort on the most costly constraints rather than relying on generic utilization percentages or anecdotal feedback from the floor.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks, depending on machine mix, ERP integration needs, and implementation scope. Because it connects to existing equipment and systems, manufacturers do not need to replace machines to begin tracking uptime. Deployment can include documentation, integration support, and on-site startup assistance where needed.

Machine uptime dashboards are useful for plant managers, supervisors, manufacturing engineers, schedulers, executives, continuous improvement leaders, and CFOs. Each role can view the metrics they need, such as live machine status, utilization, OEE, downtime, job costing, labor productivity, scrap, quality performance, and on-time delivery trends.

Accurate job costing depends on knowing actual machine time, labor time, scrap, and production interruptions. Harmoni combines machine data with RFID labor tracking, ERP job context, and quality information, then pushes records into connected systems. This reduces manual reconciliation and gives controllers, plant managers, and operations leaders a clearer picture of true production cost.
