IFS, a provider of enterprise cloud and Industrial AI software, is showcasing its solutions at the World Utilities Congress 2025, taking place in Abu Dhabi from 27-29 May.
At the event, IFS will demonstrate how it is supporting utilities in modernising ageing infrastructure, strengthening operational resilience, and advancing sustainability objectives through a fully integrated Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) approach.
A central focus will be the use of Industrial AI to transform asset management.
By moving away from reactive maintenance to predictive and prescriptive strategies, IFS’s solutions help utility companies manage assets proactively, cut downtime, optimise investments, and enhance long-term performance.
Earlier this year, IFS launched IFS Cloud 25R1, its latest release that delivers advanced AI capabilities directly to utility professionals, whether on-site or in control rooms.
Designed to address the modern challenges of energy, water, and infrastructure sectors, the platform enables efficient management of assets, personnel, and performance.
In contrast to traditional, fragmented point solutions, IFS integrates key functions such as Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Field Service Management (FSM), Artificial Intelligence Platforms (AIP), and Industrial AI into one composable platform.
This unified approach eliminates silos and enables smarter, data-driven decisions.
As Middle East utilities push for renewable energy adoption, smart grid deployment, and digital transformation, the demand for operational modernisation and reliability is growing.
IFS will also contribute to two major panel discussions at the World Utilities Congress.
Vijay Jaswal, CTO, APJMEA at IFS, said, "With IFS Cloud 25R1, we are putting industrial AI to work in the places it matters most: on the grid, in the pipeline, and out in the field. This release empowers utilities to predict, prevent, and perform at a level never before possible. Additionally, utility organisations across the Middle East are facing immense pressure to balance rapid infrastructure expansion, energy transition goals, and service reliability. IFS is committed to supporting these organisations with an integrated platform that ensures they remain competitive, compliant, and aligned with both national visions and global energy targets."
Vijay Jaswal will speak at the ‘The Next Frontier: Revolutionizing Water Infrastructure with Smart Innovation and Collaboration’ panel on 28 May, while Andrew Sutherland, Senior Vice President at IFS, will participate in the ‘Driving Scale and Responsible Growth in Carbon Markets’ panel on 29 May.
Senior IFS executives will be available to engage with visitors and showcase the company’s solutions at Booth 6140.
