apHarmony is an ISO 9001 certified, Chicago-based custom software development company offering software engineering services to manufacturing companies. Through our quality-focused software development process, we develop agile software solutions that expand capabilities and increase the efficiency of manufacturing organizations.
TRANSFORMING CUSTOM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT IN MANUFACTURING
Manufacturing software projects often involve re-engineering and enhancing a complex application landscape – from ERPs, to custom internal systems, to production floor software and integrations, to third-party SaaS applications. Many of our top-tier software engineers have decades of manufacturing application development experience, bringing a wealth of knowledge to help you create software solutions that adapt and innovate around your core processes.
We partner with your teams to develop custom software development solutions that meet your key business, cost, and schedule requirements. Whether it’s operations, human resource, vendor, production, or accounting data, we’re committed to helping you engineer transformative software solutions that integrate seamlessly with your IT infrastructure and deliver business value.
We partner with you to create technology that solves problems intelligently with result-driven outcomes.
Production Control Systems in Manufacturing
Production Control Systems monitor and control manufacturing production operations. Often this is done through integrations with ERP, MRP, MES and SCADA systems to extend capabilities with custom features. Considerations can include optimizing OEE utilizing IoT, advancing embedded technologies, and introducing or enhancing Industry 4.0 technology. apHarmony achieves better experiences, faster response times and lowers risk in PCS through an integrative engineering approach.
Business Process Automation
Business Process Automation applications streamline business processes to improve efficiency and reduce complexity, cost and paperwork. We harness the power of AI, data and digital information to reimagine workflows for product assembly, inspection, inventory management, logistics for supply chain, and real-time order status. Learn how apHarmony uses digital intelligence to automate business processes to embed superior performance, productivity and sustainability into each step.
API's & Third-Party Integrations
Third-party integrations connect new external systems from third-party vendors with existing customer applications. apHarmony ensures they are robust and share data seamlessly. We design the solutions so they can scale as your operations grow. This process futureproofs your operations and harmonizes data flow.
Product Configurators
Product configurators provide an easy-to-use interface to visualize and configure production options and features during order entry. Intelligent web UI/UX optimizes the user experience, enables faster communication, and mitigates errors, improving workflow and efficiency. Whether MTO or mass-produced goods, we engineer agile product configurator solutions that scale for current and future needs.
Customer Portals
Customer portals can range from web applications that enable customers to view and enter orders and manage invoices/payments, to full-featured portals with advanced tools that drive sales and provide an incredible customer experience. apHarmony eliminates prior friction points with secure, intuitive interfaces and real-time data, improving communication and customer satisfaction.
Reporting
apHarmony can transform your operations through custom reporting solutions and real-time plant dashboards. With up-to-the-minute data-driven decisions, operations teams can exponentially increase their positive impact by reducing error rates and improving efficiencies. Combined with business intelligence and AI, predictive maintenance on systems eliminates downtime and empowers maintenance forecasting.
Custom Software Development
Custom software solutions and integrations take your requirements and turn them into innovative, easy-to-use software systems. We partner with you to improve production workflows, inventory management, customer service, accounting, and human resources management. We have a strong focus on quality and ensure software implementations are successful and meet or exceed requirements.
Mobile App Development
Mobile app development offers opportunity for tremendous efficiencies and error reduction across field operations, sales and production floor environments. Our custom app development benefits employees by improving their quality of work and integrating processes in real-time.
Software Architecture
Our holistic approach to engineering successful software architecture begins by providing experienced software architects for your project. Whether you need help from design to requirements analysis to technology assessments to execution, we’ll develop them with an understanding of your organization’s needs and goals. We may also suggest the creation of a proof of concept, toolchain development, or quality assessment before actual work begins so there is a clear technology roadmap.
UI/UX Design & Development
Effective UI/UX in manufacturing improves employee productivity and benefits other critical metrics such as safety and error rate reduction. Our team considers the full spectrum of human and environmental factors in designing effective interfaces.
Database Applications
We design software applications that connect your databases within the enterprise to increase productivity and streamline data flow. Depending on your needs, we can integrate across different software platforms and systems so they will work in concert with one another.
Application Modernization
Our modernization specialists help IT organizations enhance existing applications by extending them through custom features and capabilities or assisting your team in transitioning to a new platform. We can assist with application assessments to business rules mining to remediation and migration services in updating your operations environment.
Big Data
We engineer big data solutions so your organization can be nimble and turn big data into positive-impact business intelligence. Through ETL (Extract Transform and Load), we optimize data analysis. apHarmony integrates with all database types, including NoSQL and big data in the cloud, empowering effective decision-making with cutting-edge visualizations and reporting.
IoT
When harnessed correctly, IoT-generated data can create unparalleled opportunities across data collection, analytics, and organizational transformation. We can extract data from PLCs and other IoT devices and make it cloud-based to give your enterprise real-time, predictive analytics. We’ll help you extract valuable machine and environmental data to aid in your data storytelling through powerful visualizations and reporting.
3D Development
For manufacturers, seizing a competitive advantage with 3D development can be incredibly beneficial. apHarmony can unleash the untapped potential of your enterprise through 3D modeling for sales tools, 3D product configurators, and CAD software development. We leverage augmented reality (AR), geometric algorithms, shaders, and dynamic dimensioning for visual systems and software to help you communicate with customers, capture orders, and reduce time-to-market. apHarmony will take your 3D software requirements and translate them into software that leads to tangible ROI.
