60+ in-depth IFS.ai scenarios available now in IFS Cloud 24R2
IFS has boosted its offering in the six hardcore industries it serves to 60+ in-depth Industrial AI scenarios that are available in the IFS Cloud 24R2 release, with more than 300 additional scenarios in the process of MVP (minimum viable product) validation.
Despite the noise around generic co-pilots and consumer-focused AI, IFS is driving change and adoption of arguably the most impactful application of AI: Industrial AI. IFS.ai is Industrial AI, with customers already using and able to immediately implement IFS.ai without the need for expensive investments in toolkits or additional implementation resource.
“Industrial AI is at the very core the solutions we are powering for customers. They are pushing us for ready-to-use AI that they can adopt quickly to solve real industrial challenges like labor shortages, supply chain disruption, stagnated productivity.” IFS’s Chief Customer Officer, Cathie Hall.
The Industrial AI scenarios available today with IFS.ai fit within the following Classes, and span both Generative AI and Predictive AI:
Generative AI
- Content generation (personalised training; autogenerated project reporting
- Recommendation (configuration to improve production quality; sourcing and supplier decision support)
- Contextual knowledge (assembly instruction and real-time guidance; unstructured data knowledge retrieve)
Predictive AI
- Event forecasting (automated risk and mitigation; simulate product and asset behaviours)
- Optimization (optimise task sequencing; optimize vs. resources vs. capacity)
- Anomaly detection (proactive quality control and monitoring
Customers already using IFS.ai are reporting rapid returns.
Ependion has turned to IFS.ai to improve efficiencies in the Manufacturing space. CIO, Joakim Stolt said: “IFS.ai Manufacturing Scheduling and Optimization (MSO) will help us increase productivity by automating our production planning process. We can quickly respond to changes based on external factors with AI-driven optimization designed to maintain high utilization of our critical resources to better meet customer demand. Ultimately, we are able to deliver optimal outcomes to our customers and product planners.”
Noble Corporation, a world-class offshore drilling company, is using IFS.ai to boost productivity and efficiency. Kristian Mortensen, Manager, Maintenance Process & Solutions, said: “Ideally we only want to service or replace a component when it is within 80% of its predicted failure time or lifetime. IFS.ai promises to help us get a lot closer to that more efficient maintenance scenario. It also promises to make our systems perform better because we know what it is that we need to do – the critical failure point – from the legacy and analytics projections. If we want to change the maintenance interval, IFS.ai will help us to justify decisions to authorities and OEMs based on the historic data and insight available within the system.”
IFS.ai is the backbone of IFS’s ERP, Asset Management (EAM) and Service Management (FSM and ITSM) solutions. When applied to the industries IFS serves, the impact is profound:
- 8 out of 10 of the US’s leading energy companies use IFS.ai to deliver power to American homes
- 200 million + Americans connect every day using cell phone networks maintained with IFS.ai
- 200 billion packages a year are sustainably produced and distributed across the world thanks to IFS.ai
- 2 billion people keep moving on elevators and walkways maintained and services with IFS.ai every day
- 105m US households have utilities powered by IFS.ai
- 9 billion sq ft of construction projects globally are managed with IFS.ai
- 310 million passengers a year fly safely thanks to aircraft maintained by IFS.ai
