IFS RESOLVE: TRANSFORMING CRITICAL INDUSTRIES
The partnership between Schneider Electric and Compass Datacenters demonstrates the tangible benefits of conditionbased maintenance. Moving away from traditional calendar-based scheduling to AI-powered predictive analytics enabled Compass to cut manual on-site maintenance visits by 40 % while reducing operating expenses by 20 %.
As AI increases demand for highdensity computing infrastructure, such efficiency gains become increasingly critical for data centre operators seeking to balance performance with environmental responsibility.
Resolve’ s capabilities are shaped by the real-world challenges facing technicians and field workers in aerospace and defence, construction and engineering, manufacturing, energy, utilities and natural resources and telecommunications.
By using Claude from Anthropic, Resolve enables approaches that were previously out of reach, predicting and preventing issues humans may overlook. It can analyse thousands of equipment images, correlate sensor data and identify patterns across visual inspections and operational information to detect problems before they escalate into failures.
These sectors are under growing strain from ageing infrastructure, the loss of experienced skills and an increasingly volatile global environment that disrupts supply chains. At the same time, they face a once-in-a-generation surge in demand driven by reindustrialisation and the rapid build-out of AI infrastructure.
Generic, consumer-grade AI tools designed for white-collar work do not meet the needs of asset- and service-focused operations. Now, there exists an urgent need for scalable, highimpact AI solutions which are purpose-built for industrial environments.
