IFS partners with Anthropic to accelerate AI in industrial environments

"According to IFS, Resolve is the "first of many" new solutions the company is bringing to market to promote AI in industrial environments. The new solution, which is the result of the IFS Nexus Black program launched earlier this year, is the result of a collaboration with Anthropic. IFS has been talking about AI for years, just like almost everyone else in the market. However, the company operates in a market where it's not so much about copilots and other trendy new AI-related innovations. As a rule, it does not blindly follow hype. This is partly because it does not see the point of it, and partly because it simply does not have the resources to do so."

"It does what its name suggests: it solves problems that people encounter in the field of Field Service Management (FSM). With the help of IFS Resolve, it should be possible for technicians and other personnel to do more than just react. It should enable them to predict problems and errors earlier. It does this by jointly analyzing and interpreting things such as video, audio, temperature, and pressure."

IFS Resolve is the first solution from the IFS Nexus Black program, developed in collaboration with Anthropic and using the Claude language model. Resolve targets technicians across Aerospace & Defense, Energy, Engineering & Construction, Manufacturing, Telco, and Transportation. The solution jointly analyzes video, audio, temperature, and pressure data and links those signals to blueprints and designs. Resolve aims to shift field personnel from reactive troubleshooting to proactive prediction of problems and earlier error detection. Resolve also enhances maintenance planning by improving problem identification and timing of interventions. IFS emphasizes focused, concrete AI applications rather than following hype.
