IFS industry updates

Recent IFS news worth tracking

Pinned items for manufacturers already live on IFS Cloud. Vendor facts, not this firm's results.

Pinned

Four items to keep on the calendar

01. Release

IFS Cloud 26R1 generally available

28 May 2026

26R1 is the current GA release to map customizations, reports, workflows, and integrations against. Twice-yearly releases are the calendar now. A jump without that map is how upgrades become a year of dread.

02. Event

IFS Unleashed 2026

12–16 October 2026. Orlando World Center Marriott.

Unleashed, not World Conference. Theme: Era of Limitless Industry. Venue: Orlando World Center Marriott. This is the vendor event listing. It is not an attendance notice from this firm.

03. 25R2

Loops Digital Workers

Named workers in the 25R2 line.

25R2 introduced Loops Digital Workers as a product surface, including Customer Order Manager, Inventory Replenisher, and Material Replenisher. Whether they belong on this plant is a readiness question, not a licence reflex.

Vendor feed, newest first.

Also noted

Demoted from the pin list

Still on the vendor feed. Not the first items this practice would put in front of an operations sponsor this quarter.

AVEVA and IFS partnership

Asset-intelligence partnership. Relevant if you already run both stacks. Not a default planning item for an SMB manufacturer on IFS Cloud alone. Read at IFS.com

Agent Studio through IFS Loops

A vendor studio for building agents. This firm does not stand up Agent Studio. Readiness work stays on copilots and named Digital Workers. Read at IFS.com

IFS Q1 2026 financial update

Useful if you watch vendor momentum. It does not change the plant-level work. Read at IFS.com
