Infor MES Strategy: Unifying ERP, Shop Floor, and AI for Manufacturing Operations
May 28th, 2026 | 1 PM ET
Selecting and deploying a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is no longer a tactical decision. It is a strategic architecture choice. It determines how well your ERP, machines, and AI workflows work together. In this webinar, we break down Infor’s MES/MOM strategy. We analyze how it fits within the CloudSuite ecosystem. We also examine how Infor is responding to AI-native manufacturing platforms. As a result, you will understand how CloudSuite, MES, and Velocity Suite create a tightly integrated, digital factory foundation.
Next, we explore why MES data is now the core driver of real-time intelligence. Modern MES platforms capture operational signals at scale. Infor MES builds on this with guided workflows for frontline teams. It supports global standardization while enabling local flexibility. In addition, features like drag-and-drop dashboards reduce technical dependency. This allows teams to configure processes faster and with more control.
Finally, we connect strategy to execution. You will see how Infor aligns MES with its CloudSuite portfolio to bridge planning and execution. We outline key success factors for global rollouts. We also address workforce challenges and adoption risks. By the end, you will have a clear maturity framework. You will also gain a practical roadmap to leverage Infor’s stack for a scalable, data-driven manufacturing operation.
