Summary​

Version 1.15 is our first release to support Maintenance Management.

Kanoa Maintenance delivers a fully integrated, Ignition-native maintenance solution designed to connect maintenance operations directly with production, quality, and plant performance data—eliminating the need for disconnected systems and enabling a unified operational view. At its core, Kanoa Maintenance provides comprehensive asset and equipment management, allowing organizations to model plant hierarchies, track equipment history, and manage maintenance activities across all levels of the operation. Maintenance workflows are driven through a robust work order lifecycle, supporting creation, prioritization, scheduling, assignment, execution tracking, and technician feedback in a single system. The platform captures detailed labor and activity tracking, enabling visibility into technician utilization, work performed, and time spent across maintenance tasks. Integrated parts and inventory tracking links material usage directly to work orders, providing insight into consumption, availability, and maintenance cost drivers. Kanoa Maintenance is designed for real-world operations with mobile-optimized interfaces, allowing technicians to create, update, and complete work orders directly from the field on tablets or handheld devices. This ensures timely data capture and improves responsiveness across maintenance teams. A key strength of the system is its deep integration with the Kanoa MES platform and Ignition ecosystem. Maintenance workflows operate within the same environment as production execution, quality management, and operational analytics, enabling real-time, event-driven maintenance tied directly to plant conditions. The system is fully extensible, allowing teams to customize workflows, dashboards, and integrations using Ignition’s development tools.

Kanoa Maintenance includes built-in maintenance analytics and KPI tracking, providing visibility into performance metrics such as:

  • Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
  • Mean Time to Acknowledge (MTTA)
  • Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
  • Backlog aging and workload distribution
  • Work order flow (created vs completed vs open)

These analytics enable teams to monitor responsiveness, identify bottlenecks, manage backlog health, and drive continuous improvement across maintenance operations. Under the hood, the system leverages Kanoa’s open SQL-based architecture and extensive system.kanoa API framework, allowing seamless integration, reporting, and advanced analytics across the enterprise.

caution

One of the changes has been to show archived and released check sheet checks together on the check sheet details. In order to do this, we have had to change the signature of the following functions...

  • system.kanoa.quality.analysis.getChkItemEventsByColumn()
  • system.kanoa.quality.analysis.getChkItemEventsByRow()
  • system.kanoa.quality.analysis.queryChkItemEventData()
  • system.kanoa.quality.analysis.getHistogramData()

... to take in the masterChkShtId and the chkItemPath rather than the chkShtId and chkItemId. If you are using these functions in custom screens or script, they will need modifications.

caution

The qds/assetInfo tag UDT has been removed as it's functionality has been incorporated into the main assetInfo UDT. If you have created instances of this UDT, you can simply delete them.
