Industrial Intelligence for Smarter, Faster Operations
Today, operations across all areas—from manufacturing to service, from maintenance to sustainability—are becoming smarter. The latest version of IFS Cloud places artificial intelligence (AI) at the very center of this transformation. The goal is no longer just to possess AI technology; it is to integrate intelligence directly into decision-making processes and workflows to achieve tangible results.

AI Turns from Strategy into Reality

With its new release, IFS Cloud enables companies to plan better, respond faster to change, and optimize operations with minimal effort. AI is no longer just a vision—it has become a tool that delivers measurable value in daily operations such as manufacturing, maintenance, service, and sustainability.

IFS’s Industrial AI approach goes beyond traditional production processes and creates direct business value in three key areas:

• Maximizing asset performance – increasing productivity without expanding the workforce
• Achieving agility in the supply chain – accelerating planning and field operations
• Combining sustainability with profitability – balancing carbon reduction goals with financial performance

IFS.ai: The AI Platform Designed for Industrial Performance

At the heart of IFS Cloud lies IFS.ai, the company’s own AI platform. This platform has been specifically designed for complex and asset-intensive industries. Rather than adding AI as a separate layer, IFS.ai embeds intelligence directly into IFS Cloud, providing insights exactly where and when users need them.

IFS.ai stands out with three core components:

• Expert models trained on real industrial data
• Embedded assistants, prediction engines, and automation tools across functional domains
• Context-aware, action-taking early-stage agentic AI capabilities

As of today, IFS.ai integrates over 200 AI-powered features into IFS Cloud. As a result, customers are no longer “experimenting” with AI—they are achieving measurable outcomes in areas such as productivity, speed, and cost optimization.

Three Strategic Priorities: Transformation, Autonomy, and Sustainable Profitability

IFS Cloud focuses on the three core priorities of organizations aiming to lead in industry:

1. Be Bold in Transformation.

• IFS.ai Copilot for FMECA helps maintenance and engineering teams predict potential failures before they occur.
  FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis) is a systematic method used to identify possible failures in equipment or processes, assess their potential effects, and determine their level of criticality.
  This new IFS.ai Copilot analyzes historical failure records, maintenance data, and sensor information to help engineers detect the most critical issues early. As a result, unnecessary maintenance activities are avoided, unplanned downtime is reduced, and production continuity is enhanced.
• Operation Time Prediction makes production planning smarter and improves delivery performance.
• Depot Repair module accelerates service cycles and enables new revenue models.

These innovations enhance not only efficiency but also risk management and operational resilience capabilities.

2. Gain Speed with Autonomous and Intelligent Operations

IFS Cloud introduces AI-driven automation to increase operational agility:

• Automatic work order creation from documents
• AI assistants in quotation, shipping, and order processes
• Smart production planning based on real capacity constraints

This allows employees to move away from manual tasks and focus on more strategic work.

3. Profitable Sustainability

IFS Cloud places sustainability at the center of business decisions:

• Emission Management simplifies tracking and reporting of Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
• Carbon Equivalent Predictions help balance environmental and financial performance in production planning.
• ECO Footprint enhancements support the compliant management of environmental data.

These tools enable the combination of reduced environmental impact with profitability, paving the way for sustainable growth.

Preparing for the Future: Agentic AI and Nexus Black

IFS Cloud is not only designed for today but also lays the foundation for tomorrow’s technology. Agentic AI—AI that can make context-aware decisions and take actions—is now becoming a reality within IFS Cloud. Systems are no longer limited to providing recommendations; they can also act on them.

IFS’s new initiative, Nexus Black™, embraces a co-innovation approach with customers. Through this program, companies collaborate with IFS engineers to develop solutions in predictive maintenance, intelligent automation, and planning optimization—achieving tangible results within weeks.

Conclusion: The New Era of Industrial Intelligence

IFS Cloud places artificial intelligence not at the center of business strategy, but at the very core of the business itself. This enables organizations to become not only efficient but also agile, sustainable, and competitively advantaged.
This release represents more than a technological update—it marks the beginning of the industrial intelligence era.
With IFS Cloud, businesses are no longer just keeping up with change—they are driving it.
