Closed-Loop Industrial Operations (CLIO) from Siemens and IFS connects engineering, manufacturing, maintenance, and service in a continuous Industrial AI-driven lifecycle. By combining digital twin intelligence, asset management, and field service insights, CLIO enables smarter decisions, improves operational performance, accelerates feedback loops, and helps organizations increase reliability, productivity, and lifecycle value.

Why Choose Closed-Loop Industrial Operations (CLIO)

From Design to Service and Back Again

  • Person using a tablet in a factory setting.

    Design it right

    Siemens engineering data and IFS asset, service, and reliability insights come together early, helping optimize performance, reliability, and lifecycle costs.
  • Orange robotic arm in a factory with other robots in the background.

    Run it smart

    Agentic orchestration of the shop floor: Industrial AI aligns production, maintenance, workforce, and spares into one continuously optimized schedule.
  • Field service technician unloading equipment from a service vehicle.

    Service it fast

    Closed-loop engineering & service lifecycle: Improve first-time fixes and continuously feed field insights back into design.
  • Four workers in safety vests and helmets walking in a warehouse with blue digital overlay lines representing connectivity.

    Govern the loop

    One auditable thread connects engineering, production and service, ensuring every decision is transparent, traceable and explainable.

Connected Intelligence Across the Lifecycle

DESIGN → SERVICE

CLIO connects engineering, manufacturing, maintenance and service with Siemens digital twins, Industrial AI and IFS to deliver continuous lifecycle insight.

Two industrial AI leaders, one closed loop

  • “Industrial AI only delivers value when it is grounded in both engineering intent and real-world performance. Together with IFS, we are connecting design, manufacturing and asset lifecycle data in a secure, contextualised data fabric.”
