Mendix¶

What is low code¶

Low-code is a modern way of building applications that moves beyond traditional coding. Instead of writing every line of code, developers and business experts work in a visual, model-driven environment. With drag-and-drop building blocks and reusable components, teams of all skill levels can build and deploy enterprise-grade apps faster, with less complexity. This speed is further amplified by AI-assisted development features, like Mendix's MAIA (Mendix AI Assistant), which intelligently guides developers and automates repetitive tasks.

This visual approach also significantly simplifies the integration of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the development of intelligent, agentic applications. By abstracting complex code, Mendix enables developers to infuse AI capabilities and create sophisticated agentic workflows with greater speed and accessibility. For Siemens Xcelerator users, this means you can adapt existing systems and extend their reach without disrupting mission-critical operations.

Why Mendix with Siemens Xcelerator?¶

Streamline Your Workflow, Accelerate Your Solutions

Siemens Xcelerator provides the foundation for creating a digital enterprise with digital twin technology, optimized product development, and advanced manufacturing capabilities. Mendix adds the flexibility you need to go further:

Adapt data, workflows, and user experiences from systems like Teamcenter, Opcenter, Capital, Polarion, Industrial Edge and more to meet the needs of specific roles and processes.


Extend the reach of these systems by connecting them with new applications, digitalizing niche processes, and orchestrating cross-domain workflows.

This makes it possible to unify siloed data, embed intelligence, and deliver apps faster — all while keeping your core systems clean and upgradable.
