IFS Cloud 25R2 brings industrial AI and “Digital Workers” to construction operations
AI Article Summary
IFS has launched IFS Cloud 25R2, introducing AI-driven 'Digital Workers' aimed at reducing administrative tasks and enhancing productivity in construction operations. These digital assistants automate repetitive tasks like order processing and inventory management to expand workforce capacity and improve operational efficiencies. The update embeds AI capabilities across ERP, asset management, and field service systems, offering enhanced maintenance accuracy and more effective demand forecasting. The release also focuses on sustainability with tools for emissions tracking and compliance in construction projects.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how AI can be leveraged to address labor shortages and operational inefficiencies in the construction industry, particularly in Canada where workforce challenges persist. For Canadian builders, this means the opportunity to optimize schedules and improve decision-making without increasing manpower. Additionally, the focus on sustainability in AI tools aligns with growing environmental regulations in Canadian construction projects, potentially easing compliance and enhancing competitiveness in bidding for public contracts.
