Industrial AI software, IFS has announced a strategic partnership with Siemens to deliver integrated, AI-driven solutions that will revolutionise how energy, utilities, and infrastructure operators plan, manage, and service critical grid assets.

Together, the companies are addressing the most pressing challenges facing critical infrastructure operators: aging assets, supply chain disruption, labour shortages, and the urgent imperative to accelerate the energy transition through digital transformation and autonomous grid operations.

The IFS and Siemens partnership delivers a unified solution that bridges the critical gap between engineering and financial planning, operational technology and information technology, and strategic asset decisions and real-time field execution. IFS is partner in the Siemens Xcelerator marketplace.

By integrating IFS’s AI-powered enterprise asset management, field service, and asset investment planning capabilities with Siemens’ Gridscale X solutions, utilities and energy operators gain unprecedented operational intelligence across their entire infrastructure.

The result: A pathway toward autonomous, self-optimising grid operations that address today’s most critical infrastructure challenge. As utilities rapidly integrate distributed energy resources like solar and wind at scale, these inverter-based resources are transforming grid dynamics—creating both unprecedented opportunity and complexity. The combined solution enables utilities to manage this transition effectively, improving uptime, reducing costs, and driving measurable sustainability outcomes while maintaining the grid reliability and resilience that society depends on.

This cloud-ready, modular approach enables digital transformation without disruptive rip-and-replace projects, delivering industry-specific solutions purpose-built for utilities, energy infrastructure, manufacturing, and critical facilities.

Max Roberts, Chief Operating Officer, IFS, said: “By combining Siemens’ unmatched grid intelligence with IFS’s Industrial AI platform, we’re enabling utilities to make smarter investment decisions, predict and prevent asset failures, and orchestrate field operations with unprecedented precision. Together, we’re engineering the resilient, sustainable infrastructure that will define the next decade.
