Green Bay Packaging deploys IFS Cloud EAM and NRG Master Data Management solutions to streamline maintenance processes and drive asset reliability

Published

on

Using the IFS solution, GBP will improve asset reliability by obtaining clearer visibility into asset availability, usage, and lifecycle

LONDON, Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IFS, the leading technology provider of enterprise cloud and Industrial AI software, today announced that US-based packaging manufacturer, Green Bay Packaging (GBP), has successfully deployed IFS Cloud Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) at its two main paper mills to drive asset reliability and improve procurement functionality.

GBP’s legacy EAM solution was no longer fit for purpose due to a lack of mobile functionality and an inability to integrate easily with other lines of business. GBP proactively sought out a new EAM solution, and after a diligent evaluation process, IFS Cloud stood out for its flexibility and ease of use. As an adaptable, composable solution, it met all of GBP’s requirements, offering seamless integration into its existing systems.

GBP was seeking a central platform that could support its safety, environmental, quality, and reliability objectives, enabling it to achieve demanding asset management goals. Through its asset tracking and condition-based maintenance capabilities, IFS Cloud EAM gives GBP a complete view of its asset portfolio, enabling the business to identify assets that are at risk of failure, schedule preventative maintenance, and track the effectiveness of maintenance activities. This helps the manufacturer minimize downtime and extend asset lifespan.

Furthermore, using IFS Cloud EAM, GBP plans to enhance its maintenance strategies by incorporating vibration analysis, supporting machine connectivity and predictive analytics.

The IFS solution enables GBP to improve utilization by better understanding asset usage and availability, improving workforce scheduling and material management by ensuring that GBP has the right inventory and maintenance people in the right place at the right time. In addition, the mobile functionality reduces the need for manual work, including completing paper-based reports and time-consuming form filling that warehouse and field-based engineers and technicians would otherwise do, freeing them up to add more value on other tasks.

Lucas Law, Maintenance and Reliability Manager, Green Bay Packaging, said: “We started our search for a new EAM and Master Data Management and Governance system with clear goals and requirements in mind. As our central application, we needed both systems to deliver the best-of-breed capabilities and ensure our assets are fully functioning at all times.”

“IFS Cloud combined with Net Results Group’s MRO3iTM was the only joint solution available on the market that could deliver all the functionality we required. We needed an asset management solution today, and IFS and NRG delivered. But more than that, IFS offered us a partnership that delivered confidence for our future ambitions and needs. As champions of sustainability, we also value both company’s positions on ESG and trust that moving forward they will keep our interests at heart and deliver strong ROI.”

David Smith, Vice President Sales, Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), IFS, said: “Green Bay Packaging’s commitment to providing continuous improvement to their products and services is evident in their proactive pursuit of a strategic EAM solution that drives best practice across their mill divisions. We are confident that through the blend of flexibility and rich functionality, IFS Cloud EAM delivers and will support GBP to streamline its processes and deliver amazing moments of service to its growing customer base.” 

“Net Results Group has cleansed, enriched, and de-duplicated more than 80,000 unique MRO parts for Green Bay Packaging, providing a standardized catalogue that includes linked documents and photos. This customization allows GBP to see, share, and locate critical inventory based on the location of each storeroom, significantly enhancing their operational efficiency,” said Lance Gilbert, Managing Partner at Net Results Group.

By

VAL-D’OR, QC, Nov. 4, 2026 /CNW/ — Air Creebec has discovered an unauthorized intrusion targeting some of its administrative systems. As soon as the incident was discovered, the company brought in cybersecurity experts to assess its scope and strengthen the security of the affected systems. It is working with the appropriate authorities.

“We recognize the seriousness of this situation, and we deeply regret the concern it is causing our employees, retirees, customers, partners and the communities we have the privilege of serving,” said Tanya Pash, President, Air Creebec.

The safety of Air Creebec’s flights, aircraft and flight operations remains assured and has not been compromised in any way. The company’s aircraft and flight systems operate independently, separately from the affected administrative systems. Operations are continuing as normal.

Initial findings indicate that administrative files were exfiltrated. These files may contain personal information relating mainly to current and former employees, as well as passengers. Others may also contain operational, administrative or financial information related to customers and partners. The review is ongoing.

“Air Creebec takes this situation very seriously and is committed to supporting the people affected,” said Tanya Pash.

The company is currently assessing appropriate protective measures, including the possibility of offering a credit monitoring and identity protection service, based on the nature of the information exposed and the risks identified. Eligible individuals will be informed directly of the measures available to them and the steps to follow.

Air Creebec asks everyone to be especially vigilant with any unexpected email, text message or phone call requesting urgent action or confidential information. The company reminds the public that it will never contact anyone to ask for banking information or passwords. It recommends monitoring accounts and statements, and reporting any unusual activity to one’s financial institution.

For any questions about this incident, Air Creebec can be reached by email at communications@aircreebec.ca. Advice and tools for self-protection are also available at aircreebec.ca/cybersecurity-incident. A dedicated phone line will be available soon; its number will be posted on the same page, where future updates will also be published.

Go1 Partners with OpenAI to Expand Access to OpenAI Academy Courses

Published

By

OpenAI Academy courses will now be available through Go1, helping HR and L&D teams bring trusted, relevant AI learning to more employees through their existing learning systems.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Go1, a global learning and compliance solution that makes workforce learning relevant and measurable, today announced a partnership with OpenAI to help organizations build AI capability at scale. Practical, hands-on courses from OpenAI Academy will be available through Go1’s learning ecosystem, supporting employees and leaders in applying AI to their work.

The partnership builds on Go1’s role as a learning, data and intelligence layer for major HR systems, extending OpenAI Academy courses through the infrastructure employers already use. For HR and L&D teams, it brings trusted AI learning into their existing workforce strategy, making it easier to deliver relevant learning across the organization and understand participation and progress.

“AI adoption is moving quickly, but workforce capability isn’t always keeping pace,” said Chris Eigeland, CEO of Go1. “Organizations need a way to give every employee – not just technical teams—the knowledge and confidence to use AI effectively in their role. Bringing OpenAI Academy learning into Go1 helps HR and L&D leaders turn AI learning into a coordinated, measurable workforce strategy.”

Building AI capability across the workforce 

Organizations are investing in AI technology, but many still lack a consistent approach to preparing their people to use it. Learning is often fragmented across providers and platforms, making it difficult for HR and L&D teams to reach different audiences, measure participation, or understand where capability gaps exist.

OpenAI Academy provides practical AI learning for a range of roles, including knowledge workers, leaders, developers, educators and students. The courses help people apply AI to everyday work, build and evaluate AI-powered products, lead AI adoption, and use AI to support teaching and learning.

Combining foundational knowledge with real-world examples and hands-on application, the courses help people build the skills and confidence to use AI more effectively in their work.

Through Go1, organizations will be able to incorporate OpenAI Academy courses into a broader workforce learning strategy. Employees can access relevant AI learning through familiar systems, while HR and L&D teams gain a clearer view of engagement, learner sentiment, and emerging skill needs.

“We built OpenAI Academy courses by bringing together expertise from our research, product, safety and deployment teams with what we’ve learned helping organizations put AI to work,” said Lois Newman, Customer Education, OpenAI. “Through practice on real tasks and learning tailored to different roles, the courses help people use AI effectively in their day-to-day work and give organizations a shared foundation for adoption across their workforce.”

From AI learning to workforce readiness 

By bringing OpenAI Academy courses into the Go1 ecosystem, organizations can create a shared foundation of AI understanding while supporting the different needs of employees, leaders and technical teams.

“HR and L&D leaders are being asked to prepare the entire workforce for a new way of working,” Eigeland said. “This partnership gives them a practical way to expand access to trusted AI learning, meet people at their level and measure progress over time.”

OpenAI Academy courses will be available through Go1 starting today. To learn more, visit go1.com/openai-academy.
