Ignition Requirements

Kanoa MES is built on Ignition by Inductive Automation.

Supported Ignition versions​

  • Kanoa MES supports Ignition 8.1 and Ignition 8.3.
  • You can find Kanoa Modules for each version on our website: kanoa.ai

Required Ignition modules​

  • Perspective is required (must be installed and licensed).
  • Vision is not supported.

Compatibility guidance​

Kanoa keeps pace with Ignition releases. When Kanoa publishes new versions, the Release Notes specify which Ignition versions are compatible.

Confirm your Ignition version is supported for the Kanoa MES version you are installing.

These are not required, but are commonly recommended based on implementation needs:

  • Web Development Module — recommended for bidirectional communication with ERP systems via RESTful APIs.
  • CirrusLink MQTT modules — recommended when data resilience is important and the customer wants store-and-forward data patterns from the site.
