A platform built for manufacturing operations

Kanoa MES gives manufacturers a unified operational model for assets, materials, work orders, schedules, production execution, quality, maintenance, and inventory workflows. Teams can standardize their MES foundation, adopt functionality modularly, and preserve the flexibility to configure and extend through Ignition.

Modular adoption

Start with Kanoa Ops and add Quality, Trace, Maintenance, and Inventory as your requirements grow.

ignition-check-white-75

Ignition-based flexibility

Configure standard workflows first, then extend plant-specific integrations, reports, interfaces, and functionality through Ignition.

Kanoa MES is a modular Manufacturing Execution System product licensed per Ignition Gateway. Kanoa Ops is the required foundation Solution. Kanoa Trace, Kanoa Quality, Kanoa Maintenance, and Kanoa Inventory are optional add-on Solutions that extend the Ops foundation into specialized manufacturing workflows.

Kanoa MES gives manufacturing teams and Ignition integrators a productized starting point that can be configured and extended for plant-specific workflows, integrations, reports, and interfaces.

Modular by design

Start with Kanoa Ops. Add what your operation needs.

Kanoa Ops establishes the operational model and production context used throughout Kanoa MES. Add-on Solutions extend that foundation into traceability, quality, maintenance management, and plant inventory workflows.

Kanoa Ops

Required Foundation

Kanoa Ops provides the operational foundation for OEE, downtime tracking, scheduling, work execution, and production visibility.

It helps plant teams structure how assets, work orders, schedules, shifts, production events, downtime, scrap, performance losses, and operator workflows are represented in the MES layer.

  • OEE and production-performance visibility
  • Downtime, scrap, and performance-loss coding
  • Production and shift scheduling
  • Work-order execution
  • Asset dashboards and run review
  • Process measurement capture with Measures

Your Starting Point

 The kanoaAPP Ignition Perspective project gives teams a configurable starting point for Kanoa MES. Use its application and configuration tools to model assets, materials, schedules, production workflows, quality checks, maintenance activity, and inventory processes. Configure standard functionality first, then extend through Ignition where plant-specific workflows, integrations, reports, or interfaces are required.
