IFS EAM for Energy & Resources, from field work to capital decisions

Eqeep connects asset management, field work and investment planning for energy and utility operators. We assess IFS Cloud enterprise asset management (EAM), service capabilities and Copperleaf against your operating priorities. Your team decides which maintenance needs, risks and investments take precedence.

Which asset decisions need better information?

Asset managers need to compare maintenance, replacement and investment choices using reliable asset information. Eqeep assesses the data and responsibilities behind asset investment planning. IFS Copperleaf can model scenarios using agreed inputs from IFS Cloud and other systems. Your team reviews the assumptions and decides which risks to accept.

Grid operators need to connect network information with maintenance and operational decisions. We assess relevant data sources, interfaces and any proposed edge workflows. Operational Intelligence can bring asset-condition information and operating data together for review.

Field teams need schedules that reflect available skills, locations and parts. IFS Cloud field service management (FSM) supports execution; IFS Planning & Scheduling Optimization (PSO) supports planning. Your planners review changes against agreed service priorities. Explore field productivity.

Compliance teams need to know which documents and inspections each job requires. We define those requirements, link records to the work and agree checks before closure.

Where should your energy team start?

Eqeep starts with the asset, service or investment decision that needs attention. We recommend IFS where the required capabilities and integration effort justify the change. Your existing systems and responsibilities shape the scope.

How SPIE organised its IFS managed services

SPIE Nederland, Arvato Systems and Eqeep at the table

SPIE Nederland keeps IFS operations under control with Eqeep and Arvato Systems

SPIE Nederland’s published story describes its managed services setup for the IFS Product Suite. Eqeep became the central IFS contact for the service desk and Application Management Service. Arvato Systems supplied Microsoft Azure infrastructure and technical application management. SPIE kept control over its operational direction.

One chain from field work to capital decisions

Eqeep connects the information needed at each handover from field work to investment planning. We agree data sources, responsibilities and review points with your teams.

  1. Field work

    IFS Cloud field service and IFS PSO

    Plan work against available skills, locations and parts. Technicians record the work and inspections required by the agreed process.

    People decide: planners and technicians review changes and agree the next action.

  2. Asset record

    IFS Cloud EAM and Operational Intelligence

    Combine selected asset, maintenance and field-service data with relevant operational signals. Agree which system owns each record and how changes are exchanged.

    People decide: maintenance leads set priority, risk and timing.

  3. Capital decision

    IFS Copperleaf

    Copperleaf compares investment scenarios against agreed objectives and constraints. Your team defines the inputs and reviews the assumptions behind each option.

    People decide: asset managers choose investments and the risks the business accepts.

Themes across the asset portfolio

Industrial AI

Review relevant AI functions against your asset data, maintenance processes and IFS configuration. Your team decides which recommendations become action.

Explore industrial AI

Assess coexistence with SAP

Compare keeping existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) with changing asset, service or investment planning. Define the integrations and ownership each route requires.

Plan the move from SAP or JD Edwards

Field workforce

Use available skills, parts and service priorities to review the field schedule. Test the proposed approach against your team’s actual constraints.

IFS Cloud updates

IFS Cloud has two release updates a year and monthly service updates. Plan testing and installation within the applicable support requirements.

IFS support and updates

Questions energy and resources teams ask before modernising

Where does Industrial AI fit in Energy & Resources?

Start with a specific decision about asset condition, maintenance or field work. Eqeep assesses the available AI functions alongside IFS EAM and your operating requirements. Your team sets priorities and approvals. More on Industrial AI.

How do EAM, FSM and Copperleaf work together?

EAM holds asset and maintenance records; FSM supports field execution. Copperleaf supports investment planning across costs, risks and business objectives. Eqeep agrees the data connections and responsibilities your chosen scope requires. See asset investment planning.

How does IFS support utility workforce management?

IFS Cloud field service supports execution, while PSO proposes schedules against configured skills, resources and service priorities. Eqeep maps those requirements with your team. Your planners review exceptions and approve operational changes. See field productivity.

Can this coexist with SAP?

Yes, where the integration design and operating model support it. Eqeep assesses process boundaries, data ownership and the work needed to connect the selected products. The options are described in Life after SAP ECC6 or JD Edwards.

What should stay human?

Decisions about priority, acceptable risk and operational changes stay with your team. Eqeep prepares the information and options with asset managers, technicians and planners. AI recommendations inform those decisions; your people remain accountable.

Where do we start on the grid side?

Start with the network decision your team needs to improve. Eqeep reviews the relevant asset records, operational signals and system connections. We agree the first scope and the evidence needed to assess it. See grid intelligence.
