Case Study: Rockfon achieves improved asset traceability and streamlined maintenance with IFS Ultimo

Improving asset traceability at Rockfon with IFS Ultimo EAM

Rockfon, part of the global ROCKWOOL Group, operates a Chicago site that manufactures metal ceiling panels and Chicago Metallic® suspension systems. The plant relied on paper-based maintenance records and struggled to track thousands of interchangeable dies and parts, leading to poor visibility of asset status, missed jobs, and inefficient cross-shift communication.

By implementing IFS Ultimo with mobile iPads, Rockfon digitized maintenance workflows and enabled real-time tracking of assets, parts, pictures and bills of material. Supervisors can assign and share jobs directly to technicians’ devices, eliminating misplaced printouts and human error, improving safety and asset condition, boosting cross-shift collaboration, and achieving rapid staff adoption.
