OFS Release Notes - May 2026 - v26.5
The release where more of your team can use OFS in their own language — with the foundations beneath it rebuilt to keep the platform fast and current.
OFS Version 26.5 is here, and it is the release where two versions of groundwork pay off: your team can now work in their own language, right across the platform.
This release focuses on three things: bringing more languages to life across Fusion Manager, Analytics and your reports; completing the move to faster, modern PDF exports; and rebuilding the foundations beneath Fusion Manager so the whole platform runs on a current, well-monitored stack — alongside a long list of refinements to Mayvn AI and the everyday workflows you rely on.
🌍 Your language, across the platform
In v26.4 we finished the behind-the-scenes work to make OFS ready for more languages. In v26.5, those languages are here.
We have added more than 20 new languages — completing OFS coverage of the 24 official languages of the European Union. Whether your team works in Polish, German, French, Finnish, Italian or any of the others, they can now use OFS in the language they think in.
More than the screen in front of you. The new languages reach across the product — Fusion Manager, Analytics, the shop-floor Operator Console, your exported PDFs, and the automated Daily and Weekly reports and their charts — so a German plant manager reading a scheduled report and a French operator setting up a line see the same care taken with their language.
Choose the language for each scheduled report. When you set up or edit who receives the Daily or Weekly Loss Report, the report enrolment form — where you add a recipient and their email — now includes a Language option. Pick a language there, and that person's report and its charts are generated in that language every time they are sent. So a plant manager in Germany and a regional lead in France can each receive the same report in their own language. (The OFS screens your team uses day to day follow each person's own account language, which an administrator sets in Fusion Manager.)
What the new languages cover. These languages translate the OFS interface — your menus, labels, screens and the structure of your reports. The information your team enters and configures — such as your reason codes and your product and job descriptions — stays in the language you entered it. In other words, OFS now speaks your language, and the content you put in is shown exactly as you wrote it.
🖼️ Better PDF exports
In v26.3 we moved PDF generation into your browser to make it faster and remove an ageing dependency. v26.5 rounds out that work with a few useful improvements to what your exports include.
Photos in your form PDFs. When you export a Flow form that contains photos, those images are now embedded in the PDF — so you can share complete evidence with external parties without copying screenshots by hand.
Charts sized to fit the page. Trend-report charts now fill the page in PDF exports, so the detail is easy to read.
Times in the line's own timezone. Exported PDFs now show times in the timezone the data belongs to, rather than the timezone of the person opening the export — so a report reads the same wherever it is opened.
🤖 A smoother Mayvn AI
We have tightened up the day-to-day experience of working with Mayvn AI, so it stays out of your way and gets you to the answer.
Longer conversations stay on track. We have resolved the cases where a long conversation — or one returning large tables of data — could get stuck or stop responding. You can keep the thread going.
Forms no longer stall the chat. After Mayvn shows you a form, you can carry on the conversation as normal, instead of the reply box getting stuck loading.
Accurate loading on multi-chart requests. When you ask for several charts at once, the loading indicator stays visible until everything has finished drawing, so you can see it is still working.
Quiet retries on chart generation. If a chart needs a couple of attempts to generate, Mayvn now retries quietly behind the scenes and only lets you know if it genuinely can't — so you see the result, not the workings.
Stays where you are reading. The Flow form assistant keeps the latest message in view instead of jumping back to the top after each reply.
🛠️ Usability refinements
Seamless sign-in to Fusion Manager. If your site uses single sign-on, opening Fusion Manager now recognises your existing session and takes you straight in — no second login prompt — and links keep you in the right place rather than dropping you at the front door.
Your live count reflects every update. On sites where counts arrive by manual edit or from another system (such as an ERP integration), those updates now flow through to the operator's live counter on the main console — not just to the reports — so the number on the screen matches what has actually been produced.
Pin the fields you care about. Job metadata fields now sort in a natural, case-insensitive order, so fields you name to sit near the top stay near the top.
💅 Polish & Fixes
- Fusion Manager — new users. Creating a new user now defaults to the correct language and country options again, rather than defaulting to Danish.
- Analytics — PDF charts. Trend-report PDF exports are sized correctly again after the move to browser-based PDF exports.
- Mayvn AI — multi-chart requests. The loading indicator stays visible until every requested chart has finished rendering.
⚙️ Performance & stability
Behind the scenes, this is a big foundations release — the kind of work that does not change a button, but makes everything above it faster and steadier.
- A rebuilt Fusion Manager foundation. The platform beneath Fusion Manager has been moved off software that had been unsupported since 2018 and onto a current, actively-maintained stack — reducing risk and setting up faster improvements ahead.
- We can now see how your sites are running. We have rolled out new internal monitoring across every part of OFS — response times, system load, database and memory health — so our team can spot and resolve developing issues earlier, often before they would ever reach you.
- A more direct way to connect devices. OFS lines can now connect to MQTT-capable devices and sensors directly, removing an intermediate processing step — fewer moving parts between your equipment and your data.
- Stronger protection in how we build OFS. We have hardened our build pipeline against the kind of supply-chain attacks seen across the software industry, locking our builds to known-good, verified components.
- A refreshed AI engine. Mayvn AI has been moved onto a current-generation AI model with a longer support horizon, keeping the assistant well-supported for the long run.
- Smoother upgrades. We resolved issues that could interrupt the upgrade to this version, so moving onto v26.5 goes smoothly.
These changes require no action on your part.
How can we access the upgrade?If your OFS software is hosted by OFS, these changes will be made available to you automatically.
If you are hosting OFS on your own server or infrastructure, please reach out to support@ofsystems.com to schedule your upgrade.
What is coming next?OFS has a range of exciting things on the way — including full character support for every language across every screen, export and display, new ways for Mayvn AI to capture and share what it produces for you, and continued work toward a more self-service single sign-on experience. If you have feedback on this release or ideas for the future, we would love to hear from you — reach out to your OFS contacts or support team.
