60+ in-depth IFS.ai scenarios available now in IFS Cloud 24R2
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IFS UNLEASHED IFS, the leading provider of enterprise cloud and Industrial AI software, has boosted its offering in the six hardcore industries it serves to 60+ in-depth Industrial AI scenarios that are available in the IFS Cloud 24R2 release, with more than 300 additional scenarios in the process of MVP (minimum viable product) validation.

Despite the noise around generic co-pilots and consumer-focused AI, IFS is driving change and adoption of arguably the most impactful application of AI: Industrial AI. IFS.ai is Industrial AI, with customers already using and able to immediately implement IFS.ai without the need for expensive investments in toolkits or additional implementation resource.
The Industrial AI scenarios available today with IFS.ai fit within the following Classes, and span both Generative AI and Predictive AI:
Generative AI
Content generation (personalised training; autogenerated project reportingRecommendation (configuration to improve production quality; sourcing and supplier decision support)Contextual knowledge (assembly instruction and real-time guidance; unstructured data knowledge retrieve)Predictive AI
Event forecasting (automated risk and mitigation; simulate product and asset behaviours)Optimization (optimise task sequencing; optimize vs. resources vs. capacity)Anomaly detection (proactive quality control and monitoringCustomers already using IFS.ai are reporting rapid returns.
Ependion has turned to IFS.ai to improve efficiencies in the Manufacturing space. CIO, Joakim Stolt said: “IFS.ai Manufacturing Scheduling and Optimization (MSO) will help us increase productivity by automating our production planning process. We can quickly respond to changes based on external factors with AI-driven optimization designed to maintain high utilization of our critical resources to better meet customer demand. Ultimately, we are able to deliver optimal outcomes to our customers and product planners.”
Noble Corporation, a world-class offshore drilling company, is using IFS.ai to boost productivity and efficiency. Kristian Mortensen, Manager, Maintenance Process & Solutions, said: “Ideally we only want to service or replace a component when it is within 80% of its predicted failure time or lifetime. IFS.ai promises to help us get a lot closer to that more efficient maintenance scenario. It also promises to make our systems perform better because we know what it is that we need to do – the critical failure point – from the legacy and analytics projections. If we want to change the maintenance interval, IFS.ai will help us to justify decisions to authorities and OEMs based on the historic data and insight available within the system.” 
IFS.ai is the backbone of IFS’s ERP, Asset Management (EAM) and Service Management (FSM and ITSM) solutions. When applied to the industries IFS serves, the impact is profound:
8 out of 10 of the US’s leading energy companies use IFS.ai to deliver power to American homes200 million + Americans connect every day using cell phone networks maintained with IFS.ai200 billion packages a year are sustainably produced and distributed across the world thanks to IFS.ai2 billion people keep moving on elevators and walkways maintained and services with IFS.ai every day      105m US households have utilities powered by IFS.ai9 billion sq ft of construction projects globally are managed with IFS.ai310 million passengers a year fly safely thanks to aircraft maintained by IFS.ai”Industrial AI is at the very core the solutions we are powering for customers. They are pushing us for ready-to-use AI that they can adopt quickly to solve real industrial challenges like labor shortages, supply chain disruption, stagnated productivity,” said IFS’s Chief Customer Officer, Cathie Hall. “IFS is the pioneer of Industrial AI, and we are committed to further extending our global leadership position, making more real-world AI use cases available for customers in our hardcore industries.  IFS’s mission is to accelerate the pace of AI development and adoption throughout our organization and into the products and services we deliver to customers. Our commitment to continued investment in IFS.ai has never been stronger.”
“IFS has strength in the breadth of service capabilities that incorporate AI, machine learning and IOT,” said Aly Pinder, Research Vice President – Worldwide Aftermarket Services Strategies at IDC at IDC said. “IFS is helping organizations address the technology opportunities of a rapidly evolving market that is benefitting from advanced tools to insights, collaboration, and action. IFS has been able to incorporate these tools into an Industrial AI offering that drives improved service operations and outcomes.”

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Meridia is proud to launch Verify, the most comprehensive solution for reducing EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) non-compliance risks on the market. The launch follows a two-year development period and is the product of Meridia’s ten years of deep field experience, real-world insights and local knowledge.

To support EUDR compliance, Verify assesses field and physical flow data across farms and commodities covering data quality, deforestation risk, legality (including compliance with local laws), and traceability. Verify also integrates real-time data verification and compliance validation into procurement cycles, future-proofing data quality. The tool currently covers cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, and rubber, with more commodities, origins and tests planned for the future.
“We are excited to officially launch Verify – a big milestone we have worked towards for two years! Verify clients can process datasets to generate risk scores and results in real-time for data quality, deforestation, traceability and legality aspects. By integrating Verify into their procurement cycles, companies can reduce commercial and reputational risk, minimise supply chain disruption, and accelerate evidence-based decision-making for strategic sourcing, procurement, and trade.” – Thomas Vaassen, CEO, Meridia
Data verification is an essential step towards EUDR complianceA significant amount of company commodity and sourcing field data is inaccurate, despite best efforts to map global supply chains[1]. This inaccurate field data leaves many operators and traders doing business in the EU at risk of importing illegal and non-compliant products under the EUDR.
Verify significantly lowers the risks of EUDR non-compliance by deploying 50+ tests for field and physical flow data quality. Each test results in a score ranging from low risk to critical risk of non-compliance, with a single overall score provided for each farm, allowing for an easy comparison of compliance risks. These tests are aligned with source articles from the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and focus on four key areas across 35+ origins.
The test results can be customised and sorted by preference, or delivered in a detailed risk report with actionable recommendations. With its full launch, Verify is now available under a subscription model, either on-platform or via an API.
“To comply with the EUDR, we must ensure that our cocoa is fully traceable back to a specific farmer and a specific farm, and that farm must be fully polygon mapped to prove that the cocoa does not originate from land which was deforested after December 2020. Meridia Verify helps us to confidently verify our field data, ensuring compliance with these new regulations and safeguarding our operations in an increasingly regulated landscape.” – Bart Draaijer, Head of Sustainable Cocoa – ETG | Beyond Beans
Verify supports the ICE CoT platformMeridia has also collaborated with ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (IBA) in its launch of the ICE Commodity Traceability Service (ICE CoT), a technology platform designed to facilitate the continued frictionless trade of physical cocoa and coffee by automating the process of submitting, storing,  validation testing and sharing of due diligence information required by the EUDR.
“The ICE CoT data validation methodologies have been developed based on Meridia Verify and form a crucial component of IBA’s platform,” said Clive de Ruig, President of IBA. “High-quality data is critical to passing the ICE CoT tests, and Meridia Verify will be of significant help to customers in preparing their due diligence data to meet ICE CoT’s rigorous standards of data governance.”
About MeridiaMeridia is an AgTech company specialised in field data solutions in smallholder-heavy agri-commodity supply chains such as cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber and soy.
The Meridia vision is a world where all commodities can be verified as sustainably produced and managed.
