IFS Japan Co., Ltd. and BayCurrent, Inc. have announced a strategic partnership focused on accelerating digital transformation projects in the manufacturing and aerospace and defense industries.
The collaboration will combine IFS’s industrial AI software and operational platforms with BayCurrent’s consulting capabilities across management strategy, implementation, and on-site transformation support. The two companies are positioning the partnership around a common problem many enterprises are dealing with right now. A lot of DX projects get approved at the leadership level but fail when they hit actual operational environments.
IFS is known for its enterprise systems across ERP, enterprise asset management, and field service management, particularly in industries where operations are complex and heavily tied to physical assets and frontline workflows. BayCurrent, on the other hand, brings consulting support that stretches from early planning all the way to deployment and business process transformation.

The partnership will mainly focus on three areas. The first is building DX strategies that match industry-specific operational realities instead of forcing standardized systems into complicated environments. The second is combining system implementation with process redesign and change management so transformation efforts continue after deployment instead of stopping at installation.
The third area is AI and data utilization. IFS.ai will be used alongside BayCurrent’s AI and data consulting expertise to improve operational and management decision-making using data from assets, operations, services, and workforce systems.
As part of the partnership, BayCurrent also plans to strengthen its internal IFS talent pipeline through training and technical support programs, with plans to recruit and train around 200 IFS consultants.
