Create scalable, role-based manufacturing applications faster with low-code personalization inside Siemens Opcenter Execution.
Opcenter is never modified. Apps read and write production data through published interfaces; orders, routings and genealogy stay where they are.
Mendix Opcenter MES customization means building role-specific manufacturing applications on top of Siemens Opcenter Execution using Mendix low-code. Operators, supervisors, and quality teams get purpose-built interfaces and workflows, integrated with ERP, PLM, and machine-level systems, while the Opcenter backend stays unchanged.
These low-code MES solutions are designed using proven Siemens technologies. Each app is built to fit your plant's specific needs—with real-time data, seamless integration, and minimal disruption.
Low-code lets you build and deploy MES extensions in weeks, not months.
Integrate computer vision, predictive models, and intelligent rules easily.
Use prebuilt templates for discrete and process industries—or create your own.
Connect to SAP, Teamcenter, sensors, or legacy systems with ready-to-use connectors.
Leading manufacturers are modernizing their MES environments with Mendix embedded in Siemens Opcenter. By personalizing the front-end user experience without changing the backend, they're improving performance and accelerating delivery.
Benefits:
Mendix helps manufacturers deliver customized MES solutions that are efficient, maintainable, and built to scale.
Speed up development with prebuilt templates and components available on the Mendix Marketplace. These tools help you build scalable, user-friendly Opcenter MES solutions faster.
Mendix is the Siemens low-code platform. Used with Siemens Opcenter, it lets you build and customize MES applications faster and with less code than traditional Opcenter customization. The applications sit on top of Opcenter and personalize the user experience without changing the backend.
Mendix applications are embedded alongside Siemens Opcenter Execution and read and write MES data through APIs and connectors. You build role-specific screens and workflows visually, using Marketplace starter content, then deploy to cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments.
Operator dashboards, quality tracking applications, mobile task workflows, custom user interfaces for production lines, and KPI monitoring tools. In practice, most first projects replace a paper register or spreadsheet process that sits beside the MES rather than inside it.
MES extensions delivered in weeks rather than months, no disruption to existing systems, no retraining on the core MES, role-based interfaces that reduce onboarding time for new operators, and reusable templates that make each additional plant cheaper than the first.
Plant and manufacturing IT teams carrying a backlog of shop floor requests, operations leaders whose processes still run on registers or spreadsheets beside the MES, and manufacturers standardizing Opcenter across multiple sites.
Discrete and process manufacturing, with prebuilt templates covering both. Common applications include automotive and auto component line-side interfaces, electronics traceability and inspection, and production monitoring on EV and battery lines.
Siemens Opcenter Execution as the MES, Mendix as the application platform, and Marketplace content including the Opcenter Execution Starter Kit, Workflow Commons, and Atlas UI Resources. Integration is supported with ERP, PLM, IoT, sensors, and legacy systems.
Integration scope and Opcenter environment access are confirmed first, since that usually drives the timeline more than screen count. The application is then built using Marketplace starter content and Mendix visual development, and most reach a usable version in weeks rather than months.
Through APIs, connectors, and standard protocols. Mendix connects to ERP systems such as SAP, PLM including Siemens Teamcenter, and IoT and machine-level systems, so a shop floor screen can carry the order, material, and product context an operator needs.
Yes. Applications are built with reusable templates so the same solution can be deployed and adapted per site rather than rebuilt. For manufacturers running plants across several states, this is usually what makes standardization commercially viable.
Yes, and this is one of the strongest reasons to take this approach. Where an Indian plant runs Opcenter under a global parent's licence and configuration, the backend often cannot be modified locally. Building in the Mendix application layer leaves the global setup untouched while giving local teams the workflows they need.
Yes. Because the interface is built in Mendix rather than inside the MES, screens, prompts and work instructions can be delivered in the language a particular line uses, without altering the Opcenter backend that the rest of the enterprise depends on.
Tell us which shop floor process is still running on paper, registers, or a spreadsheet beside the MES. We will scope a Mendix application against your Opcenter environment and give you a realistic view of integration effort, timeline, and how the work would be delivered.
