Asset operations and maintenance

IFS Cloud asset operations and maintenance solution is an EAM (enterprise asset management) system designed to manage and optimize the maintenance of assets, including linear assets, equipment objects, and tools.

It enables users to define and execute various types of maintenance work, such as preventive and corrective, using standard templates and programs.

EAM solution also tracks costs, materials, purchases, labor, and the performance of maintenance work. Users can access the solution online or offline, monitor, and measure the performance of their maintenance work against predefined targets and benchmarks.

Asset performance management

Automate and optimize the maintenance of assets based on their real-time data and conditions. Collect and analyze various machine measurements and readings, such as hours, cycles, temperatures, feeds, and speeds, as well as equipment stops and starts.

It uses this information to trigger different types of maintenance work, such as prescriptive or condition-based, depending on the criteria and thresholds defined by the user.

Asset Management Software also provides a visual representation of asset health and performance using advanced analytics. Integrate with public APIs using the IoT controller and support operational models for stop and start events, measurements, alarms, and indirect time for manufacturing.

Maintenance planning

Execute maintenance work orders and tasks efficiently and effectively. Optimize the maintenance plan based on the site.

Use activity-driven allocation & monitoring for resources, materials, priority factors, and constraints. IFS Cloud EAM solution also enables users to monitor and adjust the plan according to operational changes and deviations.

The system provides a visual representation of the planned activities and their dependencies, as well as the window of execution for preventive maintenance.

B2B contracting

IFS Cloud B2B contracting is an ERP module that enables users to collaborate with subcontractors for various maintenance projects. Users can create and compare tenders from multiple suppliers and share work details and documents with them.

Subcontractors can access a portal where they can bid, accept, and report on their work.

Users can also purchase limited task user licenses for their vendors to allow them to interact directly with the IFS Cloud system. The module simplifies and streamlines the B2B contracting process, improving efficiency and transparency."

Document management

Create, edit, and manage documents across the organization. IFS Cloud document management provides features such as workflow, templates, version control, release management, and access control.

The module integrates with other business objects in the application to ensure consistency and accuracy of information. It also enables users to handle the entire lifecycle of documents with ease and efficiency.

Record the history of document changes and actions and allow users to access and modify documents according to their roles and permissions. End-to-end document management in IFS Cloud helps users create, store, access, and manage documents from any device and location.

UPCOMING FEATURES:

The IFS Cloud is an evergreen solution. It creates value for users by providing instant access to continuous software innovations and upgrades. Major changes are delivered twice a year, in Spring and Autumn.

Introduction of Data Level Access control
Addition of Digital Signing of Documents

TECHNICAL highlights:

GIS Integration: map assets, optimize operations

The GIS module in IFS Cloud Asset Management allows users to view and manage the location and status of various assets on a map. It uses the ArcGIS platform from ESRI to display maps and data from the IFS business application.

Users can configure how they want to visualize different types of assets, such as equipment objects, linear assets, work orders, and tasks.

The GIS module helps users monitor, plan, and optimize their enterprise asset management operations.

Modern User Interface for easy navigation and beautiful design

FS Cloud offers enjoyable experiences through a responsive, user-centric design. It furnishes you with the IFS Lifecycle Experience and portals that assist you in the entire process of purchasing, implementing, operating, and expanding.
