None of what we do runs in isolation, and we were excited to take on Inductive Automation's challenge to build a "Better Together" story to show at ICC. We'll be running a live demo built on Ignition alongside several partners across its ecosystem — Opto 22, 4IR Solutions, Cirrus Link Solutions, and Flow Software Inc. — pulling in real and simulated plant data and putting it to work inside Kanoa MES. No single piece of software here is "the one thing" a factory needs, Kanoa MES included. Real solutions come from technology, people, and process working together, and none of it works without Ignition underneath — Inductive Automation built an open platform that gets more valuable every time it talks to another system, and everything in this demo exists because of that openness. So come check out our booth and Solution Showcase on Wednesday to learn more about what Kanoa and the Ignition Technology Ecosystem built for ICC this year! #ICCUnleashed

Digital transformation projects don't usually fail because of the technology. They fail because of change management. Catch our co-founders Jason Coope, PMP & Nicole Coope at Inductive Automation's ICC 2026 for their breakout talk: "Your MES Isn't Failing — Your Change Strategy Is." 📍 Edge Theater | Wednesday, Sept 23 | 1:30 PM Drawing on real-world case studies and the Lean DMAIC framework, they'll dig into why employees resist change — often for good reason — and how to manage the people side of an MES rollout to actually get the results you're after. It's right after our Solution Showcase (11:30 AM, Gateway Theater) — easy to catch both. #ICCUnleashed

Great read from Kanoa, an Inductive Automation Gold Technology Provider! If you're already running Ignition on the plant floor, you’ve already done the heavy lifting for condition-based maintenance. Check out this article by Sam Russem on how Kanoa Maintenance leverages your existing Ignition architecture and Perspective modules to turn calendar-based PMs into true condition-based maintenance without requiring a complex, third-party CMMS integration.

One week from today: Kanoa Maintenance and Kanoa Inventory Live! On Wednesday, September 9 at 1:00 PM ET, we're running a live Kanoa MES 1.15 Webinar Showcase on Kanoa's two newest Solutions for factory maintenance management and plant inventory. We'll introduce each one, demo it live, and show the specific tie-ins that make them more valuable when they're connected to the rest of your Kanoa MES environment, all powered by Ignition. Still on the agenda: → Kanoa Maintenance, introduced and demoed live → Kanoa Inventory, introduced and demoed live → How they connect to Kanoa MES (and each other) → Live Q&A Still time to grab a seat: https://lnkd.in/eyJGWFjf Already registered? See you there!

If you're on Inductive Automation's #Ignition, MES usually doesn't arrive all at once; it sneaks in. A few Perspective screens for PLC data turns into shift counts, then downtime reasons, then work order progress, then quality checks. At some point you're not just visualizing equipment anymore. You're managing production execution. We wrote up a practical definition of MES for exactly that moment — what makes it different from SCADA, dashboards, OEE, and "just a database," plus a quick self-check for whether your Ignition app has already crossed into MES territory: • Are operators selecting modes, states, or downtime reasons? • Do quality checks tie back to the order, asset, and item? • Are you rebuilding the same screens and reports across lines or plants? If a few of those sound familiar, this one's worth a read: https://lnkd.in/gwAzkDf4
