Cloud adoption is no longer just a matter of convenience; Today, it represents the basis for the transformation and optimization of processes in key sectors. Since its inception, the cloud has enabled businesses of all sizes to access robust, scalable and flexible computing resources.
In fact, at IFS we wanted to go one step further with our IFS Cloud solution, a composable platform based on artificial intelligence (AI) designed to solve the specific challenges of critical industries such as: manufacturing, construction and engineering, aerospace and defense, energy and utilities, telecommunications and services.
Among the great advantages of software like this, the possibility of selecting capabilities that adapt to both current and future needs stands out. Along these lines, we are convinced that Industrial AI is the next logical step in the evolution of the cloud.
IFS.ai focuses on the optimization of complex operations, maintenance prediction and the reduction of carbon emissions. For example, several of our clients have managed to significantly reduce their field trips and CO emissions, while increasing their operational efficiency and resource optimization. This is a particularly relevant issue in a world where sustainability is not just a competitive advantage, but a critical necessity.
Along these lines, Industrial AI allows companies to increase their efficiency levels by using data to optimize processes in real time, thus transforming their business models based on market changes. At IFS, Industrial AI not only facilitates the personalization of user experiences to fit specific needs in real time, but also inspires employees to improve their productivity and engagement in their daily tasks.
The ability to adjust experiences based on the particularities of each industry and team represents a significant step towards a more human-like as well as accessible AI, one that adapts to users and optimizes both personal and organizational performance.
An outstanding case is that of a client who, through our Industrial AI, has managed to eliminate 55 million miles of annual travel for your field engineerssignificantly reducing CO emissions? It has also highlighted how technology can simultaneously contribute to sustainability and operational efficiency.
This real-time optimization capability would be unattainable without AI, which allows operations to be quickly rescheduled and adjusted to maximize resources while still reducing environmental impact.
Another of the fundamental pillars of Industrial AI at IFS is decision making based on massive data. Today, the diversity of data—from video data to IoT information to climate data—represents both a challenge and an opportunity for organizations. With AI analytics, this data can be used to anticipate changes, adjust plans and improve overall efficiency in real time, a capability that not only complements but also enhances human intuition.
Precisely, our last IFS Unleashed 2024, which has managed to bring together thousands of professionals from the sector, highlighted the importance of understanding and taking advantage of this wealth of data, which is the basis on which Industrial AI operates.
This potential of AI marks the beginning of a new industrial revolution. At IFS, we are committed to leading this change and redefining the impact of AI on industrial sectors. Transparency in our AI solutions not only facilitates regulatory compliance, but also allows decisions to be auditable and understandable for everyone involved, which is essential in industries where each decision has critical repercussions.
With all this, business software in the cloud, when combined with Industrial AI, can take companies to levels of efficiency never seen before, driving a revolution that transforms both organizations and the human talent that makes them up.
