Insights
Strategic partnership between IFS and Siemens targets autonomous grid operations and is operationally meaningful.
The collaboration combines Siemens' grid engineering and Gridscale X offerings with IFS enterprise asset management, field service, and AI scheduling to link engineering, financial planning, OT and IT into a unified workflow. This creates a practical path to reduce manual integration work and improve decisioning across planning, investment and execution.
Key dependencies include customer uptake, integration depth with existing utility systems, and measurable deployment outcomes; the announcement explicitly highlights modular, cloud-ready deployment to avoid rip-and-replace. Watch for pilot rollouts, specific integration milestones, and customer case studies over the next 12–24 months, starting from
Industrial AI leaders unite to transform Energy, Utilities, and Infrastructure with integrated AI solutions for grid planning, asset management, and field service optimization
Industrial X Unleashed
Together, the companies are addressing the most pressing challenges facing critical infrastructure operators: aging assets, supply chain disruption, labor shortages, and the urgent imperative to accelerate the energy transition through digital transformation and autonomous grid operations.
The IFS and Siemens partnership delivers a unified solution that bridges the critical gap between engineering and financial planning, operational technology and information technology, and strategic asset decisions and real-time field execution. IFS is partner in the Siemens Xcelerator marketplace.
By integrating IFS's AI-powered enterprise asset management, field service, and asset investment planning capabilities with Siemens' Gridscale X solutions, utilities and energy operators gain unprecedented operational intelligence across their entire infrastructure.
The result: A pathway toward autonomous, self-optimizing grid operations that address today's most critical infrastructure challenge. As utilities rapidly integrate distributed energy resources like solar and wind at scale, these inverter-based resources are transforming grid dynamics – creating both unprecedented opportunity and complexity. The combined solution enables utilities to manage this transition effectively, improving uptime, reducing costs, and driving measurable sustainability outcomes while maintaining the grid reliability and resilience that society depends on.
This cloud-ready, modular approach enables digital transformation without disruptive rip-and-replace projects, delivering industry-specific solutions purpose-built for utilities, energy infrastructure, manufacturing, and critical facilities.
Max Roberts, Chief Operating Officer, IFS, said: "The autonomous grid isn't a distant vision – IFS and Siemens are making it a reality today. By combining Siemens' unmatched grid intelligence with IFS's Industrial AI platform, we're enabling utilities to make smarter investment decisions, predict and prevent asset failures, and orchestrate field operations with unprecedented precision. Together, we're engineering the resilient, sustainable infrastructure that will define the next decade."
Dr. Sabine Erlinghagen, CEO of Siemens Grid Software: "The complexity of modern grid operations demands more than incremental improvements; it requires a fundamental transformation in how we plan, operate and maintain grids. We are delighted to partner with IFS, bringing together the best of engineering excellence and operational intelligence to help our customers tackle their biggest challenges. With our joint vision, a lot is possible: faster grid modernization, reduced operational risk, and the agility to embrace the distributed energy future while maintaining the reliability society depends on."
Timothy Swanson, Industry Advisor and Retired CIO/CSO, FortisBC, said: "The pace of change in our industry is accelerating, from electrification demands to extreme weather events to integrating distributed and variable energy supply at utility scale. We can't meet these challenges with yesterday's tools. What excites utilities about this IFS and Siemens collaboration is the potential to integrate planning systems from the equipment level up for utility assets. That integration is essential if we're going to deliver the cost-effective reliability our customers and regulators expect while building the grid of tomorrow."
