A platform built for manufacturing operations

Kanoa MES provides a unified operational model for assets, materials, work orders, and production execution—so teams can standardize their MES foundation and scale functionality over time. The platform is designed for rapid deployment, easy integration, and long-term maintainability.

  • Modular adoption: Start with Ops and expand into Quality and Trace over time

  • Ignition-native delivery: Built to run on Ignition Perspective and the Ignition Gateway model

  • Production-ready foundation: Standard data model, resilient database patterns, and configurable UI tools

Kanoa MES is a modular system licensed per Ignition Gateway. Kanoa Ops is the required foundation, and you can add Kanoa Trace and Kanoa Quality when you’re ready to expand into traceability, genealogy, and structured compliance workflows. Kanoa is built for manufacturing teams and Ignition integrators who need a production-ready foundation without sacrificing flexibility.
