AWS, Infor Deliver Agentic AI to Manufacturing

Infor, an Industry Cloud Complete company, and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) announce new and enhanced industry-specific AI agents built natively on AWS. These AI agents are intended, according to the companies, to deploy industry-specific AI agents that reason, plan, and act across complex business workflows.

The collaboration addresses discrete and process manufacturing's AI scaling challenge by combining enterprise-grade infrastructure with industry-specific capabilities.

"The conversation has changed from 'where do we start with AI' to 'how fast can we scale it," says Ozgur Tohumcu, general manager of Automotive and Manufacturing at AWS. "Through our collaboration with Infor, manufacturers are moving from pilot to production faster than ever — deploying industry-specific agents that deliver operational advantages at enterprise scale."

"Generic AI doesn't work in manufacturing — you need agents that understand manufacturing-specific operational processes, bill of materials, supply chains, and shop floor realities," says Rick Rider, senior vice president, Product Management, Infor. "AWS provides the enterprise infrastructure and AI horsepower, while we bring the deep industry-specific intelligence and context. The result is AI and agents built specifically for manufacturing industries that our customers can trust to run critical operations and deliver measurable financial impact."

Among Infor's complete collection of AI agents are those designed specifically to address complexities of manufacturing operations. Built on AWS infrastructure, Infor deploys agents across manufacturing's critical workflows with compliance controls and scaling from pilot to production:

• Project Management — Agents continuously compare baseline plans to real-time financials and performance metrics to protect margins, forecast revenue, and surface cost or schedule variances before they impact profitability.
• On-Time Project Delivery Management — Agents monitor project risks, milestones, dependencies, and cross-project performance to detect delays early and coordinate interventions that keep delivery on schedule.
• Process Mining & Operational Intelligence — Agents use process-mining-derived insights to automatically discover end-to-end workflows from event logs, surface bottlenecks and variant behaviors, and prioritize the highest-impact interventions so agents can close the loop with targeted remediation and continuous optimization.
• Inventory Flow Management — Agents track warehouse activity, stock movements, and inbound and outbound orders to maintain real-time inventory visibility and ensure materials move through the supply chain.
• Financial Operations Management — Agents connect contracts, billing, supplier invoices, and general ledger activity to automate financial oversight, streamline processes, and provide a unified view of financial performance.
• Quality Management — Agents monitor inspections, non-conformances, and material disposition across orders and projects to identify deviations and maintain consistent product and operational quality.

Customers can also build and deploy their own custom agents through Infor Agent Factory and in conjunction with Infor AI agents through orchestration, using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Amazon Bedrock, and Amazon SageMaker.
