IFS Intelligence AI Software Turns Operational Data Into Action
Unplanned downtime, missed first-time fixes, and scrap often trace back to the same causes: systems that don't share data, screens that take months to learn, and the spreadsheets and workarounds people build to bridge the gaps. The knowledge needed to cut those losses usually exists inside the operation, but reaching it means knowing which system to open, which screen to find, and who to ask.
IFS Intelligence is industrial AI software that draws on an operation's assets, work orders, schedules, and history across IFS and third-party systems. Users can ask questions about that data in plain language and carry out the resulting actions directly in the systems that run physical operations.
Workers in the field, on the plant floor, on a rig, or in the office use a single conversational interface. The software reasons across live operational data to explain what is happening and plan what should happen next, showing the sources behind each answer. It acts only within the rules, permissions, and approvals the business sets, using an embedded governance and control layer called the Industrial AI Harness.
The software offers three ways to work:
- Cowork: Users question live operational data, investigate problems, and prepare actions that run only after a person approves them. Any answer can be saved as a Lens, a live view that updates as the operation changes, and a task that succeeds once can be saved as a Skill for anyone to repeat. Cowork also connects to systems such as Microsoft 365 through Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Loops: Teams hand defined workflows to digital workers that run in the background and escalate when judgment or approval is needed. Teams build their own digital workers in Studio, adding capacity without waiting on new hires.
- Runway: Plain-language requirements speed up the migration, configuration, and extension of IFS software, with less implementation effort.
The software is licensed enterprise-wide and covers all in-scope IFS software the customer already licenses, with no feature-gating or tiering. Each license includes an entitlement of AI Executions, set as a fair usage cap rather than a credit model.
