Exciting technology advancements are changing the service landscape for capital and industrial equipment. On one hand, large serviceable assets are continuing to increase in complexity, which makes repair and maintenance a sometimes-daunting task. On the other hand, capital and industrial equipment software, when wielded properly, can turn that complexity into an asset for an organization, allowing opportunities for remote resolution, predictive service, and significantly less downtime.
When choosing a provider for industrial equipment services , you want to find a partner that won’t force you to compromise on your service potential. IFS represents the most complete industrial equipment service management solutions for high-complexity applications. With the depth of capabilities that IFS has, we are prepared to arm you with a set of tools to not just master today’s service challenge, but challenge what tomorrow’s service success looks like.

Servitization: Preparing the manufacturing industry for what’s next
Some of the main drivers behind servitization are growing competition at the local and global levels and the commoditization of products. Margins are being squeezed, so new revenue streams are required. Instead of accepting the ‘received wisdom’ that competitiveness can only be achieved by offering cheaper, faster or better products, manufacturers are increasingly seeing themselves as service providers, offering total solutions rather than just products.
