MANUFACTURING MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT

Kanoa Maintenance

Plan, schedule, execute, and analyze maintenance work inside the same Kanoa MES environment that supports your production operations. Kanoa Maintenance is a manufacturing-focused Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) Solution for Ignition that connects work orders, procedures, technician activity, and maintenance analytics to your plant assets and operating context.

Kanoa Maintenance is an add-on solution and requires Kanoa Ops.

Why Kanoa Maintenance?

Maintenance management that fits production reality

Maintenance work does not happen in isolation. It happens against production assets, around operating schedules, and in response to the conditions that affect plant performance.

Kanoa Maintenance brings maintenance workflows into Kanoa MES, giving teams a structured way to manage work while keeping it connected to the assets and operational context already established in Kanoa Ops.

Plan and generate maintenance work

Create one-time work or reusable templates, then generate work orders on recurring schedules or when configured runtime, counter, or threshold conditions are met.

Guide technicians through execution

Assign work, manage priorities, provide step-by-step procedures, capture required checks, and record labor, comments, images, and status changes.

Turn maintenance activity into insight

Monitor response time, repair time, reliability, schedule compliance, backlog aging, work-order flow, and workflow trends with built-in maintenance analysis.

Work Order Templates

Define reusable maintenance activities with the asset, maintenance type, work type, priority, instructions, procedures, and generation rules needed to create executable work orders.

One-Time, Recurring, and Condition-Based Work

Generate a one-time task, create work on a recurring schedule, or trigger maintenance from configured runtime, counters, conditions, and thresholds.

Work-Order Lifecycle Management

Track work from creation and assignment through execution, hold, completion, or cancellation, with status history and user context captured along the way.

Priorities and Maintenance Types

Organize and filter work using configurable priorities, maintenance types, work types, statuses, and status categories that reflect how your team operates.

Digital Maintenance Procedures

Build structured procedures with major steps, detailed checks, instructions, entry options, required flags, estimated time, and reference images.

Required Completion Checks

Prevent work from being completed until required procedure checks have been performed, helping teams execute planned work more consistently.

Technician Activity and Labor Tracking

Capture assignments, technician actions, labor hours, comments, timestamps, and execution history as work moves through its lifecycle.

Images and Field Feedback

Attach images and technician feedback to work-order events to document equipment condition, completed work, and observations from the field.

Mobile-Oriented Execution

Use Ignition Perspective interfaces to support technician workflows on supported phones, tablets, and desktops.

Asset-Centered Maintenance

Perform maintenance against assets in the Kanoa MES asset model, preserving equipment context and supporting analysis across equipment, lines, areas, and plants.

Maintenance Analytics

Analyze Mean Time to Acknowledge (MTTA), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), schedule compliance, backlog aging, work-order flow, and workflow churn.

Configurable and Extensible Through Ignition

Use Kanoa's productized maintenance foundation, then configure and extend workflows, interfaces, reports, and integrations through Ignition where plant-specific requirements call for it.

Plan

Build reusable work-order templates and digital procedures

procedureBuilder

Trigger

Generate work one time, on a recurring schedule, or from operating conditions.

workOrderConfigRecurring

Execute

Assign technicians, manage priorities, complete procedures, and capture field activity.

workOrderDashboard

Improve

Analyze response, repair, reliability, compliance, and backlog trends.

workOrderAnalysis

Turn maintenance activity into performance insight

Completed work orders should provide more than a record of what happened. Kanoa Maintenance turns maintenance history into practical analysis of team responsiveness, repair performance, backlog health, and asset reliability.

Mean Time to Acknowledge

Understand how long it takes for newly created work to receive its first response. Use MTTA to identify delays in notification, dispatching, assignment, or acknowledgment.

Mean Time to Repair

Measure the time between the start and completion of maintenance work. Use MTTR to compare repair duration across assets, work types, maintenance categories, and time periods.

Mean Time Between Failures

Analyze the average operating time between documented failures. Use MTBF to compare asset reliability and identify equipment that may require further investigation or improvement.

See the health of your maintenance workflow

Go beyond individual KPIs with analysis of schedule compliance, backlog aging, work-order flow, and workflow churn. See whether the backlog is growing or shrinking, identify overdue or high-priority work, and uncover repeated status changes that may indicate interruption, reassignment, rework, or planning issues.

Kanoa Maintenance keeps this analysis in the same Kanoa MES environment used for production operations, creating a stronger foundation for understanding maintenance performance in the context of the plant.

Maintenance work, connected to the way your plant runs

Kanoa Maintenance builds on the asset hierarchy and operational context established in Kanoa Ops. Maintenance work stays connected to the equipment, lines, areas, and plants where it happens—giving teams the plant context they need without recreating it in a separate system.

Kanoa Maintenance extends that operational foundation with maintenance-specific planning, scheduling, execution, and analysis. Generate work from schedules or configured operating conditions, guide technicians through completion, and evaluate maintenance performance within the same Kanoa MES environment used for production operations.

Connect maintenance work with spare-parts inventory

Add Kanoa Inventory to bring spare-parts usage into the maintenance workflow. Technicians can issue parts from Kanoa-managed stock to maintenance work-order events, connecting each inventory transaction with the asset, technician, and maintenance activity where the part was used.

Kanoa Inventory also provides parts catalogs, storerooms and bins, supplier records, stock visibility, stocking policies, inventory transactions, and equipment bills of materials—helping maintenance teams understand what is available, where it is stored, and what equipment it supports.
