Hello,

We are evaluating Manufacturing Scheduling & Optimization (MSO, IC12816) and would like to clarify the differences between using MSO with and without IFS.ai.

From the documentation, MSO appears to be available as a standalone product, while some references describe AI-powered scheduling, simulation, and scenario evaluation capabilities. However, it is not completely clear which functions require IFS.ai Activation Pass and which are available with standard MSO licensing.

Could you please clarify the following?

  1. Can MSO (IC12816) be fully utilized without IFS.ai Activation Pass?
  2. What are the functional differences between:
    • Standard MSO (without IFS.ai)
    • MSO with IFS.ai Activation Pass
  3. Is there any official documentation or licensing guide describing the functional boundary between MSO and IFS.ai-related capabilities?

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
