IFS, the leading provider of Industrial AI software has launched IFS Zero, an agentic emissions operating system designed for asset-intensive industries
The new solution, designed specifically for carbon emissions management and created through extensive consultation with IFS customers in asset-intensive industries, works with IFS's broader Sustainability Management module, for corporate sustainability reporting, providing a single, unified calculation platform that enables organisations to measure, disclose, and optimise their carbon emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 categories.
IFS Zero uses agentic AI across the entire data lifecycle – mapping sources, validating data, flagging anomalies, and producing audit-ready outputs, resulting in an audit-ready baseline in weeks, hundreds of hours of operational time saved annually, and a 30% reduction in data collection effort.
The rapid advancement of agentic Industrial AI presents a major opportunity to reduce emissions across asset-intensive industries. Research from sustainable investment firm Generation Investment Management, an IFS investor, suggests that, with full adoption across the three largest industrial sectors it serves, IFS technology could help abate over 2% of global CO₂ emissions. IFS Zero helps unlock this potential by giving industrial companies the ability to analyse emissions data and take action in real time.
Caitlin Keam, VP Manufacturing and Sustainability Applications, at IFS said, "With IFS Zero, we're fundamentally changing how industrial companies approach emissions management. For too long, sustainability has meant slow deployments, manual spreadsheets, and reporting after the fact. IFS Zero replaces that with an agentic operating system that delivers an emissions baseline in short timescales and enables visibility into your day-to-day operations. It allows customers to move beyond compliance and start using sustainability as a true strategic advantage."
Alessandra Leggieri, senior analyst, Net Zero & Energy Transition at Verdantix, said, “As asset intensive industries move beyond static carbon reporting toward operational decarbonization, buyers are gravitating toward vendors with strong data and operational foundations - particularly those that can handle asset level complexity, connect emissions data to energy consumption and efficiency analysis, and integrate sustainability insights into day to day operational and investment decision making”
IFS Zero launches alongside IFS Cloud 26R1, which became generally available on 28 May and delivers targeted enhancements across Enterprise Resource Planning, Service Management, Enterprise Asset Management, and Aviation Maintenance.
