New Partnership! Kanoa and Digital Foundry at New Kensington
Accelerating Digital Transformation with MES Technology
We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Digital Foundry at New Kensington, a leading innovation hub focused on advancing manufacturing through technology, workforce development, and digital transformation. As a Game-Changer Technology Partner, Kanoa will work alongside Digital Foundry to equip manufacturers with modern MES solutions that drive efficiency, quality, and scalability.
At Kanoa, we believe that manufacturers deserve powerful, flexible, and easy-to-implement solutions that help them unlock the benefits of Smart Manufacturing without lengthy, complex deployments. Through our collaboration with Digital Foundry, we’re making it easier than ever for manufacturers to experience MES technology in action, understand its value, and accelerate their digital transformation efforts.
Bringing Kanoa MES to the Digital Foundry Demonstration Environment
One of the most exciting aspects of this partnership is our initiative to integrate Kanoa MES into the Digital Foundry Demonstration Environment. This environment serves as a hands-on learning space where manufacturers, systems integrators, and technology trainees can experience real-world applications of Smart Manufacturing tools.
By deploying Kanoa MES within this demonstration space, we’re creating a live, interactive system that showcases how manufacturers can:
-
Optimize their operations through real-time scheduling and OEE tracking.
-
Enhance quality management with digital check-sheets and SPC tools.
-
Improve traceability and compliance using lot tracking and process visibility.
-
Scale seamlessly with an open, adaptable MES platform designed for Ignition.
This demo will also allow us to connect Kanoa MES with other data sources in Digital Foundry’s ecosystem, demonstrating its ability to integrate with IIoT devices, SCADA systems, ERP platforms, and more. For manufacturers evaluating MES solutions, this provides a practical, hands-on way to understand the impact of a connected manufacturing system before making an investment.
Supporting Manufacturers on Their Smart Manufacturing Journey
Beyond the demonstration system, our partnership with Digital Foundry will focus on helping local manufacturers adopt Smart Manufacturing strategies that deliver both immediate value and long-term scalability.
Together, we aim to:
-
Provide direct access to advanced MES technology, giving manufacturers the tools they need to drive efficiency and growth.
-
Support Digital Foundry’s mission to educate and train manufacturing professionals in digital transformation best practices.
-
Develop pathways for manufacturers to move from a demonstration environment to a real-world MES implementation tailored to their unique operations.
Kanoa MES is designed to be the fastest and most effective way for manufacturers to establish a Smart Manufacturing foundation. Our open, Ignition-based platform ensures that companies can start seeing benefits on Day 1 while maintaining the flexibility to scale as their business evolves.
Experience Kanoa MES at Digital Foundry
We’re thrilled to collaborate with Digital Foundry and look forward to bringing modern MES solutions to more manufacturers through this partnership. If you’re a manufacturer exploring MES technology, a systems integrator working with Ignition, or a Digital Foundry trainee looking to gain hands-on experience with Smart Manufacturing software, we invite you to visit the Digital Foundry Demonstration Environment and see Kanoa MES in action.
