 PDF Using low-code tools delivers competitive business advantage Key takeaways: Growing economic and social uncertainties, and continually changing market issues (competition, product complexity, customer demands, and regulatory requirements) are affecting all industrial companies and their value chains. To successfully manage complexity and risk, modern value chains require technology characterized by hyper-connectivity (on-premises, cloud, and edge), and are personalized for ease of use and fit-for-purpose. These key criteria best support end-to-end workflows and a comprehensive digital twin strategy that enables an Industry 4.0 vision. Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio enables end-to-end digital threads across value chains and industrial vertical markets. The open backbone supports design, engineering, production operations, and service phases of the complete lifecycle by integrating best-of-breed solutions and applications from Siemens and other solution providers. Siemens’ Mendix low-code development platform connects and extends Xcelerator solutions and applications, via composing rather than coding, thus enabling integrated, personalized solutions required to improve business performance.
