30 January 2024
OPENPACK, A digital solution provider that focuses on manufacturing companies in the packaging industry worldwide, and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) specialist, IFS Ultimo, have entered a technology partnership.

For openpack, the partnership with IFS Ultimo means an expansion of its integrated partner portfolio which results in adding extra value for its customers through additional features. This is seen through simplified commissioning, reduced IT effort as fewer interfaces are required, and optimized maintenance software.
"The platform approach of openpack allows us to work seamlessly together. By joining forces, we enable an efficient reduction of interfaces and simplified data provision, allowing end customers to easily integrate and use IFS Ultimo's solutions via the openpack platform. We are looking forward to supporting customers together through our joint offering and joint knowledge," said Patrick Beekman, partner solution manager at IFS Ultimo.
IFS Ultimo also expands its partner ecosystem of industry leaders through this partnership. Together, both companies already have several joint manufacturing customers in the packaging industry. The knowledge that they have built together in this industry is now being used to support other companies in this sector.

We share a clear commitment to digitalization and recognize the importance of innovative solutions for the future," stated Patrick Klee, chief product officer at openpack.
