Automotive & Mobility
Coordinate complex supply networks, optimize production, and deliver quality at scale with connected manufacturing built for high-volume, high-precision operations.
Cloud Manufacturing Software Built for Industrial AI
Connect ERP, production, supply chain, assets and service with IFS Cloud, IFS.ai, Loops and Nexus Black in one industrial platform.
Manufacturers are under pressure to create more capacity while navigating workforce shortages, supply chain disruption, sustainability demands, and increasing operational complexity. IFS helps manufacturers run at full capacity by unifiying ERP, MES, EAM, supply chain, and industrial AI on a single platform.
Solve Manufacturing Complexity with One Industrial Platform
Connect planning, production and assets
Disconnected operations create bottlenecks that limit capacity, productivity, and growth. IFS brings ERP, MES, EAM, supply chain, and industrial AI together on one platform, enabling manufacturers to make faster decisions, respond confidently to disruption, optmize performance across the value chain, and run at full capacity.
Turn Industrial AI into operational action
Industrial AI should do more than generate insights, it should help manufacturers take action. Embedded across IFS Cloud, IFS.ai, IFS Loops, and Nexus Black identify operational risks, automate workflows, and support faster, more confident decisions, helping manufacturers increase capacity, improve resilience, and continuously optmize performance.
Scale across complex manufacturing models
No two manufacturers operate the same way. That's why IFS combines deep capabilities for discrete, process, project-based, and asset-intensive manufacturing on one platform, helping organizations standardize where they can, adapt where they need to, and continuously improve operational performance.
Turn asset data into operational performance
Connect asset health and operational performance with IFS.ai. Predict failure, improve throughput, and drive better outcomes across every site and shift.
