THE KANOA ECOSYSTEM

Different relationships. A shared manufacturing focus.

 The Kanoa Ecosystem brings together individuals that contribute to the Kanoa platform and community in different ways. Friends of Kanoa, part of the Kanoa Ecosystem, are recognized collaborators — organizations including Systems Integrators, Technology Partners, and Manufacturing Communities — that support the broader ecosystem around Kanoa MES. Organizations that implement, configure, and support Kanoa MES directly for customers may be certified through Kanoa Systems Integrator Partners program.

FAQ

What is a Friend of Kanoa?

 A Friend of Kanoa is an organization that has established a recognized, collaborative relationship with Kanoa. This includes Technology Partners, Manufacturing Communities, and other organizations — such as end-user manufacturers, consultants, and educational institutions — that support the Kanoa Ecosystem without directly implementing Kanoa MES for customers. 

What is a Kanoa Technology Partner?

Kanoa Technology Partners provide hardware, software, cloud, connectivity, or infrastructure technologies relevant to Ignition-based manufacturing environments and modern MES architectures.

Does every Technology Partner product integrate directly with Kanoa MES?

No. A Technology Partner relationship does not mean that every Kanoa MES deployment includes, requires, or automatically integrates with that partner’s technology. Specific technologies should be evaluated against the requirements and architecture of each project.

What is a Kanoa Manufacturing Community?

Kanoa Manufacturing Communities are manufacturing-focused organizations or regional initiatives that support education, knowledge sharing, ecosystem development, and awareness of practical manufacturing technology.

Do Manufacturing Communities implement Kanoa MES?

Manufacturing Communities are not presented as Kanoa MES implementation providers. Organizations seeking implementation services should explore the Kanoa Systems Integrator Partner directory.

Are Friends of Kanoa the same as Kanoa Systems Integrator Partners?

No. Friends of Kanoa and Kanoa Systems Integrator Partners are distinct relationships. Systems Integrator Partners deploy, configure, extend, and support Kanoa MES for customers and progress through Associate, Certified, and Premier levels tied to Kanoa Certification. Friends of Kanoa is a broader, collaborative relationship that doesn't require certification.
