The power of Industrial AI is most effective when applied to industry-specific scenarios
IFS, the leading provider of Industrial AI software, has announced strong and accelerating momentum for its agentic Digital Workers together with the launch of IFS Loops Agent Studio.
The power of Industrial AI is most pronounced when applied to industry-specific scenarios. Deploying Digital Workers to these scenarios is enabling organizations to drive efficiency across the business and deliver better products and services to customers.
This milestone update sees IFS Loops now offer an Agent Studio that enables customers to configure, govern, refine, and expand Digital Workers for their business. Intuitively designed for non-technical, functional employees, IFS Loops Agent Studio requires no technical or coding knowledge.
Deep industry context
IFS Loops Digital Workers arrive pre-built with deep industry context, proven workflows, and enterprise-grade AI Trust controls -security, permissions, and governance guardrails defined out of the box. The powerful combination with Agent Studio means organizations can focus on the business outcomes Digital Workers deliver, not the complexity of standing them up.
At Kitron, the global electronics manufacturing services provider, Digital Workers are automating supply chain workflows including inventory replenishment and supplier coordination areas that previously consumed significant operational bandwidth.
“With structured operational data already in place, we can apply AI where it matters most. Automated supplier order confirmations save significant time, and early shortage prediction means we can protect production schedules before problems occur,” noted Jonatan Gustafsson, Business Application Manager, Kitron.
Fast-tracking processing
Ependion, a global manufacturing company, was managing more than 150 purchase order confirmations per week entirely by hand. The process was slow, error-prone, and consumed a lot of time.
“We saw the value, added a second, and we are not stopping there. Having a human in the loop at every critical decision point is how enterprise AI should work, and IFS Loops built that in from the start,” observed Joakim Stolt, Chief Information Officer, Ependion.
Refining rules
“Building agents is easy, governing how they operate is the hard part. Digital Workers are not something you deploy once and forget. Like any workforce, they improve over time. Organizations start by building or modifying a Digital Worker, testing it in real workflows, refining the rules, guardrails, and decisions it makes,” commented Somya Kapoor, CEO, IFS Loops.
“By defining digital workers as governed operational entities, complete with role boundaries, exception handling, and performance metrics, risk is reduced while adoption accelerates,” added Keith Kirkpatrick, Vice President and Research Director, Enterprise Software & Digital Workflows, Futurum Group.
