• Keam said IFS Zero enables customers to move beyond compliance and use sustainability as a true strategic advantage.
• Research suggests full adoption of IFS technology across its three largest industrial sectors could help reduce over 2% of global CO₂ emissions.

Key Facts

• IFS is an Industrial AI software provider serving asset-intensive industries including manufacturing, energy, and aviation maintenance.
• IFS Zero reduces data collection effort by 30% and delivers an audit-ready emissions baseline within weeks of deployment.

Background

IFS Zero is an emissions operating system for asset-heavy industries and is made by industrial AI company IFS. It offers businesses one system to measure, disclose, and improve carbon emissions in Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories.

Throughout the data lifecycle, IFS Zero employs agentic AI to map sources, validate data, identify anomalies, and produce audit-ready reports. The company says the platform delivers an audit-ready emissions baseline within weeks, saves hundreds of operational hours annually, and cuts data collection effort by 30%.

The launch addresses a long-standing problem in industrial sustainability management: fragmented data, manual reconciliation, and time-heavy reporting processes. IFS Zero works alongside IFS’s broader Sustainability Management module, which handles enterprise-wide sustainability disclosures covering emissions, social impact, and diversity metrics. While the broader module covers all sustainability data, IFS Zero focuses specifically on carbon with real-time, granular intelligence.

IFS VP of Manufacturing and Sustainability Applications, Caitlin Keam, said IFS Zero replaces slow deployments and manual spreadsheets with an agentic system that delivers emissions visibility into day-to-day operations, allowing customers to treat sustainability as a strategic advantage rather than a compliance exercise.

Verdantix Senior Analyst Alessandra Leggieri said asset-intensive industries are moving beyond static carbon reporting toward operational decarbonisation, with buyers favouring vendors that can handle asset-level complexity and connect emissions data to energy and operational decision-making.

IFS Zero launched alongside IFS Cloud 26R1, which became available in the last week of May, delivering enhancements across enterprise resource planning, service management, and asset management.
