AI Automation for Corrugated & Boxes.
Harmony digitizes wet-end logs and waste tallies, streams the corrugator live, optimizes trim with AI, and feeds actuals back to estimating. One AI-native operating system over everything: your floor, your machines, and the software you already run. No rip-and-replace.
First a digital transformation. Then an AI transformation.
Three phases of a digital and AI transformation.
Lay the Data Foundation · Digitization
Every pen-and-paper record digitized at the station, every software system connected, and all of the data unified into one live layer. The digital transformation starts here.
Production & Operations Scale
Factory operations turn proactive: live sensors and machine data, the AI scheduling board, predictive maintenance before failure.
AI-Native Operations
Agents across the floor and the back office act on the live layer: quality signals, reports, copilots. Humans approve.
Twelve ways the AI layer earns its keep.
The systems and machines we meet on your floor.
You might run any of these. Or none of them. Harmony is software and hardware agnostic, and we connect live machine data from any PLC brand and any software or custom app.
Every agent proposes. A person approves. That line never moves.
Agents that watch, flag, and act. Humans decide.
The problems we see on every corrugated & boxes floor, and why they happen.
Disconnected systems, disconnected data
Amtech or Kiwiplan runs the schedule, a homegrown ERP holds the orders, Ignition watches a few machines, and the job board lives in Excel.
Floor data is written by hand, so it arrives a shift late
Wet-end logs, waste tallies, job tickets, and downtime notebooks are filled in at the machine and keyed into Excel a day later.
Defects are found at converting, so the corrugator makes more
Warp and bad glue bond surface when the blank hits the die cutter or the folder-gluer.
Estimates never see actuals, so quotes stay wrong
Every job's real speed, waste, and setup time stays on paper tickets.
The back office runs on manual work
POs are typed in from emails, invoices keyed into the ERP, deductions and AR worked from spreadsheets, and reports built by hand before the morning meeting.
ON-SITE, IN PERSON · SOFTWARE + HARDWARE AGNOSTIC · READ-ONLY PILOTS · US-HOSTED OR ON-PREM · HUMANS APPROVE EVERY ACTION
$15–20K. 4–6 weeks. One painful problem.
We pick one specific pain point, send engineers to live in your factory for 4–6 weeks, and solve it. One-time payment, working software by week 3, and no obligation to go further. If you do, you choose the modules that you like.
Do you replace Amtech or Kiwiplan?
Additive by default. The AI layer sits on top of what you already run, and when a system deserves to be replaced, we replace it. Sometimes we're the layer on top of your MES. Sometimes we are the MES. Where the schedule lives in Excel, the platform becomes the floor's system of record: machine capture, live line boards, quality, genealogy, and scheduling on one AI-native layer.
Can you get live data off a BHS corrugator and Bobst converting lines?
Yes. Direct PLC and sensor connections, Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens, Omron, Mitsubishi, or any other brand, via OPC UA or whatever the machine speaks. Speeds, counts, and waste streamed into the AI layer in real time. Software and hardware agnostic.
Our warp problem starts at the wet end. Can the AI actually catch it?
Defects are captured at converting as jobs run, with grade, flute, machine, and hour attached. ML finds the pattern within minutes and signals the wet end before the next runs carry the same flaw. The corrugator crew sees the signal on their own screen, same shift.
How does the AI get our data?
Read-only connections, scheduled exports, or on-prem. Security is reviewed together in scoping. Read-only pilots: every agent proposes, a person approves.
Do you work remotely?
No. We always start a pilot in person and on-site, with forward-deployed engineers on your floor. Very rarely do we do anything remotely.
What does it cost after the pilot?
A per-plant annual platform: unlimited seats, no user fees, hardware at cost. The pilot itself is $15-20K over 4-6 weeks against one painful problem, with working software by week 3.
Harmony AI puts the corrugator, the converting floor, and the office on one live layer, so warp gets caught at the wet end instead of the die cutter.
