Another year at Infoteamdagene has confirmed that the Norwegian industrial landscape is at a crossroads. As we gathered for the 2026 edition – marking another consecutive year of Novacura’s proud sponsorship of this vital community – one theme resonated louder than any technical update: the growing friction between ERP complexity and operational reality.

Beyond our role as sponsors, we had the privilege of presenting a live look into how leaders are solving this friction. Our session, “How Møre Trafo Synchronized Production, Logistics, and Quality with Novacura Flow,” demonstrated that when you align your ERP with your people – rather than the other way around – the results are transformative.

Insights from the 2026 M3 Roadmap

Infoteamdagene 2026 provided a clear view of the road ahead. Our team engaged with several key pillars of the current M3 ecosystem:

  • Maximizing M3 Value: Strategies for squeezing every drop of ROI out of existing implementations while preparing for modernization.

  • The Cloud Transition: Moving to the Cloud is no longer the “future”—it is the present. The focus is now on how to migrate without losing the unique competitive advantages built into your current processes.

  • AI and Automation: The integration of AI is shifting from hype to high-level automation, particularly in Supply Chain and Finance.

  • Technical Deep Dives: Exploring how modern APIs and extensions can finally allow for a “Clean Core” strategy.

The "Reporting Lag" and the Complexity Barrier

As was mentioned many times during the event, for many organizations running Infor M3, the ERP has become an administrative burden on the shop floor. When a reporting process is too complex to complete in the moment, operators revert to paper or delayed entries. This is the Complexity Barrier.

By the time the data reaches the management dashboard, it is already “historical fiction,” leading to over-purchasing, inventory inaccuracies, and a loss of strategic control.

35% Claim Reduction and Strategic Control: The Møre Trafo Customer Case

At Infoteamdagene 2026, Møre Trafo – Scandinavia’s premier manufacturer of distribution transformers – demonstrated how they shifted from “ERP-centric” thinking to “operational intent.” In a high-precision industry where technical deviations carry heavy financial risks, Møre Trafo needed a way to ensure that shop-floor reality perfectly matched their digital records.

The Challenge: The Friction of Manual Oversight

Despite a robust ERP, Møre Trafo faced a common “Complexity Barrier”. Vital quality data was often captured manually, creating a “reporting lag” that prevented proactive course correction. This fragmentation made it difficult to maintain full traceability and contributed to avoidable costs from non-conformity and claims.

The Solution: The “Template-Block” Framework

To eliminate this friction, Møre Trafo implemented a process-optimizing low-code layer using Novacura Flow. Instead of forcing technicians to navigate complex ERP screens, they deployed a “Template-Block” architecture that enforces engineering rules at the point of execution.

This mobile-first interface guides workers through mandatory technical gates – such as pressure tests or specific measurements – ensuring that data is captured correctly the first time. If a technical tolerance isn’t met, the process stops, preventing defects from moving downstream.

The Result: Strategic Control and a 35% Claim Reduction

By moving their complex workflows into a flexible low-code layer, Møre Trafo achieved:

  • The Administrative Drain: Every week, the facility generated approximately 3,000 physical printouts. This required over 70 hours of manual labor just to handle, sort, and distribute paper.
  • 35% Reduction in Claims: Enforcing “quality at the source” eliminated the root causes of technical deviations.

  • 100% Digital Traceability: Every transformer now has a complete digital birth certificate, linking components and test results to the specific production batch.

  • Seamless Integration: The factory floor is now in total sync with the ERP, providing a real-time view of production and logistics without the need for risky customizations.

Møre Trafo’s success proves that the most effective way to handle ERP complexity is to surround it with a layer of operational agility.

SUMMARY

The highlights from Infoteamdagene 2026 make one thing clear: the move to the Cloud and the adoption of AI will be fastest for those who decouple their unique processes from the ERP core.

By building your production, logistics, and quality workflows in a low-code layer like Novacura Flow – as seen in the Møre Trafo  cases — you protect your business from the volatility of ERP upgrades. You gain the power to innovate in days, not months, while keeping your M3 core standard and upgrade-ready.
