Harmoni is the most compelling platform for CNC job shops wanting to automate operator time tracking, program loading, and job data collection in a single hardware terminal. Not suitable where condition monitoring is a requirement.
Ignition is the right choice for organizations needing maximum integration breadth, unlimited licensing, and on-premise control, and that have the engineering resources to build custom monitoring applications on top.
