ManufacturingWorkflow AutomationEmerging Standard

Manufacturing reinvented with IFS.ai

This is like giving a traditional factory a smart brain that watches operations end‑to‑end, predicts issues before they happen and recommends what to do next, all built into the existing IFS manufacturing/ERP workflow.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Reduces waste, downtime and manual decision‑making in manufacturing by using AI on top of IFS systems to optimize planning, production, maintenance and supply chain operations.

Value Drivers

Cost reduction via less downtime and scrapHigher asset utilization and throughputFaster, more accurate planning and schedulingReduced manual analysis and reporting workloadImproved on‑time delivery and service levelsRisk mitigation through earlier detection of issues

Strategic Moat

Tight integration with IFS’s ERP/asset management stack and the customer’s operational data, plus embedded AI in existing workflows that are hard to rip and replace.

Differentiation Factor

Positioned specifically for manufacturers already on (or moving to) IFS, combining domain consulting from Baker Tilly with embedded AI in IFS.ai rather than a generic horizontal AI platform.
