In the press material around the deal, it is stated that RES as a service provider has competence and experience in asset management, operation and maintenance (O&M) and spare parts – which supports 41GW of renewable assets at 1,300 sites. ”RES brings to the market a range of purposeful, practical technology-based products and digital solutions designed to maximize investment and deployment of renewable energy,” it notes, among other things.
Regarding RES, it can be added that they have ambitious goals for a future for clean energy, where access to affordable energy without carbon dioxide is a basic point, which must also be reflected in how energy is generated, stored and delivered. The company has 4,500 employees.
With IFS as support, you must continue in this direction and with IFS Cloud support your business in its pursuit of target-adapting operational procedures and continued global growth.
Operational ERP competence in enterprise class
IFS Cloud’s combination of enterprise-class operational ERP competence, leading service management and asset management capabilities within the framework of a single integrated platform will be able to facilitate and enable RES to relevantly support its global processes.
PLM&ERP News has previously gone through the company’s Cloud platform, which has taken significant development steps in recent years, above all with the move into the cloud, with a series of interesting AI initiatives and systematic well-considered sustainability efforts. For an energy company of the nature of RES, there are a number of attractive values with the platform.
Generally, IFS Cloud is an AI-powered platform, designed for flexibility and adaptability. It covers not only ERP needs but also Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) and Field Service Management (FSM) needs.
The solution is updated twice a year, which is a reasonable pace to ensure that RES can organizationally assimilate and benefit from new functionality as soon as it is released, through a planned update cadence.
At the same time, the compositional nature of IFS Cloud is very valuable. The modular, quickly ”pluggable” nature of the solution enables RES to integrate new functions remarkably easily tions and innovative news. ”A composable architecture,” it is usually described as. Thus, a composable architecture, which provides optimal opportunities to put together combinations with exactly the varied functionalities needed in an organization, large or small. It is about replaceable functional components that can be switched on, or off, which is almost exactly what analysts such as Gartner and CIMdata are talking about when it comes to state-of-the-art platform concepts, Product Innovation Platforms.
Another valuable thing is that RES, certainly also all other cloud customer companies, can also use IFS Cloud to access a version of the truth from a single common data source, thereby gaining greater visibility into the business and making faster, more informed decisions.
Steps towards sustainability
In PLM&ERP News’ previous articles about the latest updated version of IFS Cloud and related to the AI and sustainability pieces, the following has been highlighted, among other things:
• Emissions tracking: improvements to follow the organization’s progress towards sustainability more accurately, through the smooth collection of emissions data. New selected categories for Scope 3 emissions have been added to provide a more complete picture of the sustainability situation. You can also enter data on kilowatt consumption from invoices from electricity companies.
• Support for circular manufacturing: improvements in the planning of remanufacturing processes make it possible to lower production costs. In addition, these functions mean opportunities for new revenue streams and a lower carbon footprint.
