Maintenance Management

Kanoa CMMS is an integrated maintenance management solution built directly into Kanoa MES, enabling teams to manage maintenance workflows alongside production, quality, and operational analytics.

Unlike traditional CMMS systems, Kanoa CMMS operates natively within the Ignition + Kanoa MES environment, eliminating system fragmentation and allowing maintenance to be analyzed in the same context as production performance.

Work Order Management​

  • Create, assign, and track work orders
  • Manage full lifecycle from creation to completion
  • Capture technician actions and status changes
  • Filter by asset, type, priority, and status

Work orders are the core unit of maintenance execution. Each work order moves through a lifecycle of 'Created', 'Acknowledged' / 'Assigned', 'In Progress', 'Completed' or 'Cancelled'. Work orders capture asset and location, maintenance type (preventive, corrective, etc.), priority, the assigned user, labor hours, parts used and timestamps for lifecycle events.

The system tracks all open work orders and provides insight into backlog health. Backlog aging shows how long work orders have been open to help identify stale or neglected work, capacity issues or prioritization problems.

Maintenance is performed against assets defined in the Kanoa MES asset model. This enables equipment level maintenance tracking, hierarchical rollups (line, area, plant) and integration with production and downtime data.

Maintenance Analytics​

Kanoa CMMS includes built-in KPI to provide a complete view of maintenance performance:

  • MTTA → How fast work is acknowledged
  • MTTR → How fast work is completed
  • MTBF → How reliable assets are
  • Backlog Aging → How healthy the backlog is
  • Work Order Flow → Whether workload is increasing or decreasing

Together, they enable teams to move from reactive maintenance to data-driven, proactive operations.

Procedures​

Work Order can consist simply of a request for work and space provided for technicians to add comments. For work orders that require a specific set of instructions and to track that all maintenance activities were completed, procedures provides a method for defining tasks (step) and capturing the outcome of each step.
