Is Your Company Still Stuck in Industry 3.0?
Industry 3.0, also known as the Third Industrial Revolution, marked the shift from mechanical and analog processes to digital automation powered by electronics and computers. Emerging between the 1960s and 1990s, it revolutionized manufacturing and industrial processes as we knew them.
I’ve witnessed Industry 3.0 evolve firsthand.
Today, we are in the era of Industry 4.0—the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This latest  Read more...transformation goes beyond digital automation, introducing smart automation, interconnected systems, and data-driven decision-making. It seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technologies like AI, IoT, and machine learning into industrial processes, driving efficiency and innovation.

🚀 Mastering the Infor Development Framework (IDF): Tips & Tricks for Success! 💡
Working with the Infor Development Framework (IDF) can be a game-changer when it comes to efficient ERP development. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, here are some essential tips to help you optimize your workflow and avoid common pitfalls.

🛠 1. Streamline Object Creation
When defining a new object, follow the six-step approach:
✅ Define the Object Read more...
✅ Define Attributes
✅ Establish Relationships
✅ Set Up the UI
✅ Define Actions
✅ Generate Server Code

🎨 2. Customize UI for Better UX
Use Compound Cards for a structured view and apply Presentation Schemes to highlight key data—e.g., making Closed orders stand out in red.

📂 3. Use Logical Attributes for Dynamic Calculations
Instead of storing calculated fields, use Logical Expressions to compute values dynamically, improving efficiency and data integrity.

🔗 4. Establish Strong Object Relationships
Define 1-to-Many and Many-to-One relationships correctly to ensure seamless navigation between Customer, Order Headers, and Order Lines.

🔄 5. Automate Data Defaults & Validations
Set custom defaults (e.g., auto-filling Ship-To if blank) and create field validations (e.g., enforcing negative values for Issues) to prevent data errors.

🌎 6. Leverage External Integrations
Enhance IDF functionality by embedding external links (e.g., UPS tracking URLs) for real-time data access.

💾 7. Save & Commit to Host Regularly
Don’t lose your progress! After making changes, always save to host and commit to ensure the latest configurations are active.

🔍 8. Reset & Recover Views Quickly
Modified an Infor-shipped view and want to revert? Use the “Reset to Default” feature in User Definitions to restore the original setup.

🚀 9. Mass Change User Preferences
Need to update multiple users? Use Mass Change to apply preferences (e.g., default views, workspaces) in one go instead of modifying each user manually.

📊 10. Test Like a Pro
Before deploying changes, always test using private views before making them public—this ensures you catch issues before impacting other users.

🔹 These simple but powerful strategies will help you boost efficiency, reduce errors, and create a seamless user experience in your IDF environment!

Despite advances in manufacturing technology, data collection remains largely manual for many companies. A survey by the Manufacturing Leadership Council reveals that nearly 70% of manufacturers still rely on manual data entry, highlighting a lack of integration with automated digital tools such as dashboards. While some manufacturers have embraced visual dashboards, a significant portion of the industry has yet to fully leverage these innovations.
If your company is among the 70% still  Read more...using manual data collection and you're ready to transition to Manufacturing 4.0, I'd love to connect. Manufacturing 4.0 revolutionizes production with intelligent, connected, and flexible systems that enhance efficiency, lower costs, and enable greater customization. Companies that embrace these advancements gain a competitive edge in today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape.

Have you seen the LXLOG file in 8.4.1 and 8.4.2? You can use the IDF Events Log or User Activity Events Log objects to view the content. If you have custom programs added to your LX environment, then you can have your programs write to the log also. The LX Logic Guide (https://docs.infor.com/lx/multi/en-us/installtechlist/Infor%20LX%20Logic%20Guide.pdf) has been updated with  Read more...Appendix C to provide instructions for writing to the log file.

If you missed the WebTop 4.8 session at inPOWER, we introduced how we were able to add the Delivery Date field to the PO Lines Maintenance screen in 8.4.2 without sacrificing the number of PO lines that could be displayed. In fact, we demonstrated how the number of lines could even be expanded, sorted, and filtered. Plus, you can also rearrange the columns.
