Connect your shop floor to the enterprise with Mendix for manufacturing. Build apps for MES, quality and suppliers, and use Altair AI to predict failures before they cost you a shift. It all runs on the systems you already use.
US plants have plenty of data. What they lack are apps that turn that data into decisions while the line is still running.
Handovers, inspections and work instructions still live on clipboards and spreadsheets.
Even a simple new screen waits months in the IT queue.
PLM, ERP, MES and quality sit in silos. Engineers re-key the same data.
Machines get fixed after they break, which leads to overtime and missed ship dates.
Supplier quality issues show up at receiving, or at the customer.
Know-how leaves with experienced operators, and new hires take too long to ramp up.
Mendix is Siemens' enterprise low-code platform. We use it to extend your industrial systems instead of replacing them.
Dispatching, genealogy, andon and downtime capture, without touching your MES core. Native Opcenter extension.
Digital inspection plans, NCR and CAPA workflows, with a full audit trail for ISO 9001.
Guided steps on tablets at each station, linked to the latest Teamcenter revision.
PPAP submissions, SCAR responses and scorecards in one place, instead of email chains.
Live OEE, downtime Pareto and throughput in one view for plant managers.
IT controls security and deployment, and operations still gets speed.
Altair, now part of Siemens, adds the AI. We build models in Altair RapidMiner and show the results inside the Mendix apps your teams already use.
Uses vibration, temperature and cycle data to flag failing equipment and open a work order before it breaks down.

Our Mendix and Altair architects review your process with your plant and IT leads. Here's what you get:
Your top gaps between the floor, MES and ERP.
App and AI use cases, scored by value and effort.
Whether your data is ready for predictive maintenance and quality AI.
A delivery plan that starts with a 21-day proof of concept.
Mendix is Siemens' platform for building shop-floor and enterprise apps with visual models instead of hand-written code. Examples include MES extensions, quality workflows and dashboards, all connected to your existing ERP, PLM and MES.
No. Mendix usually extends your MES with the screens, mobile apps and workflows it's missing. If you run Siemens Opcenter, Mendix is Siemens' own platform for extending it.
Mendix has connectors for Teamcenter, Opcenter and Insights Hub, and connects to SAP through OData and BAPI. We set these up so data moves both ways without anyone re-typing it.
You need sensor data such as vibration or temperature, plus the failure history for the same equipment. The plant assessment checks whether you have enough before we build any model.
We start with a 21-day proof of concept. How long it takes to reach production depends on your integrations, and we give you a firm estimate after the assessment.
