The collaboration will combine 1X’s humanoid robots with IFS.ai to develop and deploy production-ready robotics solutions alongside select customers across manufacturing, utilities, aviation and other industrial settings.

The partnership creates a unified digital-physical operational environment where intelligent robots work directly within enterprise business processes. By integrating humanoids with IFS.ai, IFS and 1X will deliver solutions that close the loop from physical execution to business intelligence, enabling real-time orchestration of robotic operations and seamless data flow between physical work and enterprise systems.

IFS and 1X will work with select customers to industrialise and validate humanoid robotics solutions across high-impact use cases: manufacturing and smart factory automation, IoT-enabled robotics feeding real-time operational data into IFS.ai, field service automation combining robotic hardware with intelligent maintenance orchestration, and vertical-specific applications for warehousing, aviation MRO to utility maintenance. This collaborative approach with pioneering customers will ensure solutions are production-ready and deliver measurable operational outcomes.
