This update includes major enhancements "behind the scenes," helping our customers manage complex manufacturing environments more efficiently than ever. Check out the full [release notes](https://kanoa-software.netlify.app/releaseNotes/v1_8) for all the details. #### Unifying Deployment with the kanoaAPP Module One of the biggest changes in this release is the unification of our modules. We’ve merged the **kanoaCore**, **kanoaOPS**, and **kanoaQuality** modules into a single **kanoaAPP module**. By combining these, we’ve made installation and versioning significantly simpler. No more worrying about the order of module installations—just one module to install and manage. This streamlined approach reflects how interconnected operations, quality, and traceability are, relying on the platform's robust asset and material management capabilities. Plus, licensing is now handled by license attributes, ensuring a smoother setup process. Remember, you’ll need an updated license before installing this version. #### Enhanced System Performance Kanoa MES has always been fast, but with this release, we’ve supercharged performance, especially for environments managing hundreds of assets from a single server. Key improvements include: - **Asset Overview Optimization**: Building enterprise-level views from a single query, significantly improving response times for large implementations. - **Streamlined Timers**: Dramatic reductions in SQL queries, resulting in more efficient resource use and better system resiliency. These updates empower our customers to scale confidently while maintaining robust system performance. #### Flexible Custom OEE Calculations We’ve answered a common customer request with an elegant solution: **Custom OEE Calculations**. Our new SQL table function, `mes.fnGetOEEMetrics()`, enables you to calculate OEE metrics your way. Best of all, these customizations work seamlessly with our pre-built screens, so you don’t have to compromise functionality for flexibility. #### Additional Highlights - **Quality Enhancements**: Improved measurement count aggregation and performance for calculated checks. - **Shift and Scheduler Updates**: Faster event updates and fixes to recurring schedule issues. - **Debugging Tools**: Enhanced logging for lot and quality functions for better system insights. #### Learn More Kanoa MES v1.8.0 simplifies your operations while providing the flexibility and performance you need to stay competitive.
