IFS<\/a>, a provider of Industrial AI software, announced that METSCCO Heavy Steel Industries (METSCCO), a provider of industrial infrastructure, has chosen IFS Cloud embedded with IFS.ai.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe move will strengthen METSCCO\u2019s digital transformation strategy. It will also modernize business operations and streamline manufacturing processes. In addition, it will support the company\u2019s continued growth across Saudi Arabia and the wider region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The implementation will give METSCCO a single, integrated platform. It will span enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing, supply chain, finance, project management, quality management and maintenance operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solution was selected for several reasons. These include its capabilities in engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing, project-based operations, and asset and maintenance management. It also offers a unified foundation for managing critical business functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rahul Misra, SVP and Managing Director, Middle East and Africa at IFS, commented on the selection. \u201cMETSCCO is focused on its commitment to customer service as well as strengthening business operations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Misra added that the Industrial AI within the platform\u2019s architecture will help in several areas. These include production planning, resource utilization, supply chain coordination and project execution. He said IFS is proud to be part of the modernization of a Saudi manufacturer that delivers complex industrial projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eng Abdullah Al Sabhan, CEO and Vice Chairman at METSCCO, spoke about the company\u2019s needs. \u201cIndustrial needs are ever changing, and it is important for us to stay ahead of the curve. IFS Cloud helps us unify our assets, operations and service,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He continued, \u201cHaving our engineering, projects, procurement, manufacturing and finance on a single platform makes it even stronger for an engineer-to-order organization like ours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al Sabhan also pointed to flexibility as a highlight. \u201cThe ability to help us work within our own parameters, rather than for us having to adapt to a provided ERP was one of the highlights of the IFS Cloud solution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He then spoke about the AI capabilities. \u201cIFS.ai Industrial AI provides us with real-time operational input that helps us to make timely decisions with auditable action for our esteemed customers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IFS.ai is developed to help organizations plan investment and manage complex operations. It also helps them deliver a higher level of customer service across the full lifecycle. Complex supply chains matter in asset-heavy industries. Likewise, the data connected to an asset is critical to its longevity. As a result, IFS.ai helps organizations plan for today and for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IFS<\/a> Cloud selection comes as IFS continues to build its presence in the region. The company has its Middle East headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with strong investments in the region. Over the years, it has been gaining traction and building a customer base across manufacturing, energy, utilities and services, aviation and defense, transport, and construction and engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
