5 Challenges for AI Projects in Manufacturing
Manufacturing companies have high hopes for AI. IFS highlights the five most common reasons why AI projects fail.

IFS relies on Asset-based Pricing Models
IFS is introducing a new pricing model designed to simplify access to 'Industrial AI'. Instead of paying per user, companies will in future pay per asset operated, enabling company-wide use without cost increases.

AI in the year 2026: Innovation meets pragmatism
AI is evolving from technology hype to an efficiency booster. According to IFS, practical criteria such as productivity, security and measurable results will come to the fore in 2026. This will increase the pressure on companies to productively integrate AI into their workflows. IFS describes the AI trends for 2026.

'Digital workers' are ready for industrial use
IFS Loops introduces its new agent-based AI platform that can deploy ten 'digital workers' to accelerate industrial processes.

Embedded AI (www.computer-automation.de)
Embedded in the heart of the software
Artificial intelligence has become an integral part of everyday industrial life. But not all AI is the same. Its successful use depends much more on how well the AI functions are integrated into workflows, how practically they are used and how effectively they can be utilized. The logical consequence: companies need 'embedded AI' instead of AI clutter.

Transformation projects are very popular
IFS announces the results of a recent study, according to which the manufacturing industry is at a critical turning point. Although manufacturing companies are aware of the need for digital transformation, a lack of strategies and an oversupply of technological solutions are preventing them from taking decisive action.

Sustainability becomes a competitive factor
Whether customers or highly qualified specialists - a company's green credentials are playing an increasingly important role in the decision for or against a partnership. A plea as to why manufacturers should work together with technology providers when it comes to sustainability.

Remote assistance in maintenance
Maintenance and repair work is also required during a pandemic. New operating concepts can help. Service providers are driving their digital transformation with merged reality.

Artificial intelligence in ERP (www.industrial-production.de)
AI makes ERP systems smarter
Artificial intelligence is not an all-purpose weapon. However, it is excellent at automating processes and making them more efficient. This makes it particularly valuable for ERP systems. There are already many successful practical applications.

New functions in IFS FSM 6
IFS launches IFS Field Service Management 6 (FSM 6). FSM 6 expands the functions of the field service software solution: it offers more deployment options from the cloud and more mobile field service and back office functions.

New CEO at IFS: Darren Roos succeeds Alastair Sorbie
IFS, the global provider of business software, has appointed Darren Roos as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Virtualization tools (www.computer-automation.de)
Integrate into processes
Production can already be kept under control today using visualization tools. If these tools are now linked with software tools such as personnel planning and materials management, completely new possibilities open up.
