Why companies are increasingly using low-code platforms like Mendix to build mobile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) apps and web-portals to extend their engineering processes into the field, connect with customers, suppliers, partners and employees on the move and close gaps in their Digital Thread.

If the Digital Twin is an exact digital representation of the asset or the product right now in service, the Digital Thread captures the journey of how we got here.

With the ever increasing speed at which manufacturers need to take products to market, they can no longer be held back by the IT backlog.

As Vilfredo Pareto might have said if he had lived 100 years later, “you get 80% of your low-code/mobile PLM benefit from 20% of the features & functionalities” yeah, I know it’s a stretch!

So, what are the top 8 low-code/mobile PLM features & functionalities that give you that crucial 20%?

Incisiv & Siemens Digital Industries Software surveyed 100+ Independent Software Vendors and Systems Integrators on the opportunities and perceived challenges of partnering with an enterprise solutions provider on an application development platform.

The increasing sophistication of businesses combined with complexity of application development means ISVs and SIs need to expand their development options to get to market faster.

Continental understood they would not be able to resource their legacy migration work with custom development and needed to find a way for their IT team to move faster and release apps quickly for their enterprise. With an aggressive timeline to move apps built on Lotus Notes and Domino as those platforms approach end-of-life, Continental needed one platform that allowed them to address a wide variety of use cases.

Supply chain management should never be an impediment to growing your business. We sit down with Thomas, ICT Product Owner at Secrid, about their rapid growth into new markets and their response to an evolving business model.

The inflection point represented by the advent of low-code could provide UK industry with an opportunity to leapfrog a generation of older technologies to close the manufacturing productivity gap.

This paper explores, what defines a low-code approach and why this is often better than what went before.
