Kanoa Quality
| In This Section | |
|---|---|
| Quality Management Capabilities | What Kanoa Quality provides |
| Check Sheets | Create Quality Check Sheets |
| Attribute Tolerances | Configure engineering limits and control limits and provide immediate feedback to operators when measurements violate expectations. Define product and process specifications based on asset/product and connect to plc tag data sources |
| Item Sets | Group products to enabling specifications to be shared across an item set |
| Dispatching & Scheduling | Dispatch checks on a timed schedule or based on production conditions such as product change, shift change, mode change, manual trigger, or custom scripting—then track completion and compliance. |
| Entering Checks | Walk-through on how checks are taken |
| Check Compliance | Review compliance on which checks, assets, areas, departments, shifts are being completed |
| Analyzing Checks | Perform SPC analysis on checks |
| Measures | Capture, aggregate, and statistically analyze process measurements at scale and in real-time. |
Kanoa Quality is the Kanoa MES Solution for digital quality checks, compliance workflows, and statistical quality analysis. It replaces paper check sheets and disparate spreadsheets with an operator-friendly system that allows for consistent production execution context.
Kanoa Quality provides Quality Workflow Management (forms, dispatching, execution, signoffs) and Quality Analytics (compliance performance + SPC and data analysis)

Kanoa Quality is an add-on solution to Kanoa Ops.
Quality Management Capabilities
| Feature | Description | Reference links |
|---|---|---|
| Forms & Check Sheets | Check Sheets are the core building block of Kanoa Quality. Each Check Sheet defines the required data, operator instructions, tolerances/limits, associated assets/items, and approval requirements—think of it as a digital replacement for a paper form. | |
| Dispatching & Scheduling | Dispatch checks on a timed schedule or based on production conditions such as product change, shift change, mode change, manual trigger, or custom scripting—then track completion and compliance. | |
| Operator execution | Operators are guided through checks with instructions and real-time validation so the right data is captured consistently on the shop floor. | |
| Manual & automatic data collection | Capture data manually through forms, or automatically from PLCs, databases, and other sources using Ignition connectivity. Kanoa also supports calculated checks and derived values for more advanced quality logic. | |
| Tolerance management | Configure engineering limits and control limits and provide immediate feedback to operators when measurements violate expectations. | |
| Signoff & approval workflows | Configure checks to require signoff or approval by qualified personnel, enabling controlled release and compliance-driven review. | |
| Image capture and attachments | Attach images from a phone, tablet, or desktop to quality checks to support evidence capture and audit readiness. | |
| Compliance visibility | Quality teams can monitor what checks are pending, due, in progress, complete, or late, and analyze adherence to required checks by shift/asset/check sheet. | |
| SPC & data analysis | Built-in analysis tools including SPC and histograms. Run Nelson/WECO/custom statistical rules, highlight violations, and filter outliers/junk data to focus on actionable signals. |
