IFS Speeds Up the Adoption of Industrial AI with the Launch of IFS Cloud 24R2

Highlights of the New Features:

Home – A cutting-edge, AI-driven homepage for IFS CloudTM, offering live project status updates to boost efficiency and productivity. The system automatically identifies anomalies and suggests corrective measures, streamlining project evaluation and enhancing accuracy.

This next-generation interface integrates enhanced context-aware capabilities for the IFS.ai Copilot, complemented by an expanding library of interactive widgets. These tools enable users to manage, plan, build, and maintain assets with greater speed, intelligence, and safety.

IFS.ai Copilot has been upgraded to deliver deeper, organization-wide insights. Its prebuilt industry-specific capabilities become even more effective when connected with customer data sources. The system’s context-aware functionality recognises a user’s location within IFS CloudTM, providing highly accurate and relevant insights.

For example, service managers and dispatch teams can use the AI-enhanced Copilot to improve field service operations and optimise future planning. It significantly enhances operational efficiency by facilitating faster decision-making and delivering on-the-spot, context-sensitive answers.

FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis) functionality has been introduced into the Asset Applications module through the IFS.ai Copilot. This feature is crafted to optimise asset uptime, minimise maintenance expenses, and reduce risks. It comprehensively evaluates possible asset failures, their probabilities, and their operational impacts, enabling proactive and strategic maintenance planning.

AI further elevates the FMECA process by extracting critical insights from unstructured content such as manuals and maintenance logs, ensuring more precise analysis and better-informed decisions.

New Prompt Libraries in Copilot give users greater control over AI by allowing them to save context-specific prompts. This eliminates repetitive tasks, enhances efficiency, and drives productivity.

IFS.ai can transform unstructured data, such as a customer purchase order in manufacturing, into actionable steps by automatically creating new orders to expedite production workflows. The resulting impact on the shop floor can be simulated and analysed using the Manufacturing Scheduling Optimization (MSO) Simulation feature.

With the release of IFS CloudTM 24R2, more than 60 advanced Industrial AI features are now accessible, unlocking transformative capabilities across various use cases.

The launch of IFS CloudTM 24R2 introduces over 60 cutting-edge Industrial AI features, delivering revolutionary capabilities across diverse applications.
