The company pairs customers with forward-deployed engineers, and Samuelson says prototypes can now take one to three weeks.

AIInfor is developing industry-specific AI agents for industrial manufacturing, aerospace and defense, automotive, and food and beverage, built on its existing industry applications. Suresh Jayaraman, Infor's senior vice president of product management and development, said generic agents often fail to give deterministic answers and produce hallucinations. Infor's 2026.10 release adds guardrails through security and scopes, while agents still need human approval to move orders between customers.

AIContact center success is shifting from call speed and deflection toward resolution, with experts arguing that AI agents should be measured by "conversation to completion." Speakers at theCUBE's coverage said AI can handle high-volume, low-stakes calls while humans take complex issues, and that context must carry across AI-to-human handoffs.

AIMidwest Wheel Companies is building toward AI agents that fix problems, with senior vice president Steve McEnany saying the company ties new capabilities to a single Infor system as a point of reference. The company's AI features include a product recommender in order entry and automation that scans emailed PDF invoices into the system. McEnany said a human should stay in the loop for anything touching cash or accounts, and that data and rules must be checked before agents act.

AIAston Martin CIO Steve O'Connor says the carmaker applies AI to back-end operations, such as configure-price-quote, and screens each idea first for profit-and-loss impact and efficiency gains. He said AI agents will never appear on the front end of its website because customers do not want that experience. Infor's CloudSuite Automotive tool delivers new features almost as soon as they are released, according to O'Connor.
