IFS Launches Agentic AI Platform IFS Zero for Industrial Emissions Reporting

Industrial software provider IFS announced IFS Zero, an agentic AI-powered platform designed to help asset-intensive industries measure, disclose and optimise Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions. The platform addresses fragmented data and manual reconciliation challenges by deploying AI across the full data collection, validation and reporting cycle.

IFS Zero links emissions figures directly to source assets, energy systems and operational data, replacing manual spreadsheet processes with AI agents that collect, map and validate information, flag anomalies, and generate audit-ready outputs. Key features include an advanced calculation engine, near real-time data visibility and support for regulatory and compliance reporting, including frameworks such as CSRD and the ISSB standards. The platform is designed specifically for asset-heavy industries such as manufacturing, energy and utilities.

Industrial companies face mounting pressure to produce auditable emissions data as regulators in Europe, California and multiple Asian jurisdictions enforce mandatory disclosure requirements. For large manufacturers operating in India, compliance with BRSR Core and alignment with evolving global standards requires integrated emissions tracking across complex asset portfolios. Platforms such as IFS Zero that automate data pipelines and produce audit-ready outputs reduce both compliance cost and assurance risk.

IFS said the platform delivers an emissions baseline in short timescales and provides day-to-day operational visibility. The launch positions IFS in competition with a growing field of sustainability data management vendors targeting industrial users. Caitlin Keam, VP Manufacturing and Sustainability Applications at IFS, described the solution as an agentic operating system that fundamentally changes how industrial companies approach emissions management by replacing after-the-fact reporting with near real-time visibility.
