Kanoa Trace
Kanoa Trace is the Kanoa MES Solution for end-to-end traceability and genealogy tracking raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods throughout the manufacturing lifecycle, and generating trace graphs to support fast root-cause analysis, compliance, and reporting.
Kanoa Trace includes Lot-based traceability (the structures and transactions that record material flow) and Genealogy & reporting (trace graphs and analysis views for understanding 'what happened') Kanoa Trace is built around lot management and tracking—capturing inputs, outputs, and transformations so genealogy can be reconstructed and analyzed.

Kanoa Trace is an add-on Solution and requires Kanoa Ops.
Traceability and Genealogy Capabilities
| Feature | Description | Reference links |
|---|---|---|
| Lot model & configuration | Define the building blocks used to represent traceable material: lot operations, lot states, and the event structures that describe how lots are received, transferred, processed, split, consumed, or produced. | |
| Lot operations & events | Track material movement and transformations via lot operations (e.g., receive, transfer, process), with each operation generating lot events that capture quantity, state, and where material came from / went to. | |
| Genealogy / trace graphs | Generate trace graphs to visualize product genealogy and material flow, supporting faster investigations and clear trace reporting. | |
| Compliance & reporting support | Provide traceability visibility needed for regulated industries, third-party reporting, and audit readiness—linking production outcomes back to upstream inputs and process history. | |
| Programmatic lot APIs | Use system.kanoa.lot functions to create and manage lots, operations, and states from scripts, integrations, and custom workflows within Ignition. |
