Siemens Platform Makes Digital Data Accessible

Siemens Digital Industries Software is leveraging the Mendix low-code application development platform to help customers across industries build contextual and personalized solutions and help enable data-driven decision-making processes.

The Mendix Data Hub and new Mendix for Industrial Edge services are slated to facilitate customers to achieve an end-to-end view of their plants, factories, and systems and provide domain experts with actionable insights through solutions that have been developed with the right data from across the organization. The Mendix platform extends the Xcelerator portfolio with the ability to build multi-experience apps and share data from any location, on any device, on any cloud or platform, to realize the benefits of digital transformation more quickly.

“Our vision at Mendix is not only to offer our customers a technology to let them develop applications faster and more efficiently but to also extend Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio to help realize unprecedented scalability and flexibility for our customers. As part of Siemens, we are expanding the Mendix platform to help provide value to our industrial customers by enabling them to get value from their data, be that on a factory floor, across systems of record, or in a field service context,” explained Derek Roos, CEO, Mendix.

The main objective of digital automation is factory automation, where processes of factories can be operated from a distance enabling remote operation. The new Mendix for Industrial Edge platform announced at Mendix World Version 2.0, empowers factory operators to create custom applications on the Mendix low-code platform that run locally as Edge Apps to collect data, have access to insights in near real-time and provide optimal user experiences to a variety of end-users. The platform is designed to minimize complexities and expand the talent pool for IoT application development. Business developers, domain engineers, and plant operations staff can now create Apps for Siemens Industrial Edge without programming skills. When combined with Siemens’ MindSphere, the industrial IoT as a service solution from Siemens, and other Xcelerator cloud solutions, consumers can quickly realize the benefits of a completely integrated edge to cloud experience.
