Manufacturers Use Low-Code Software to Improve Operations and Reduce AI Risks

Posted: 28th Feb 2025

The move toward low-code and no-code software in industry has gained a lot of traction in the past few years for several reasons. Most notably in that it helps manufacturing domain experts — not IT specialists — develop apps to help optimize production processes and guide new workers through complex procedures.

This move to extend low-code software beyond the IT realm, where it is better known and widely used, represents a big change for the technology. As Ray Kok, CEO at Mendix (Siemens’ low-code software business) explained: “We've extended the reach of Mendix so that it goes beyond enterprise IT. If you look at the heritage of Mendix, it really started in enterprise IT to close the gap between business and IT in terms of capacity. Then, we decided that, given all the IT/OT (operations technology) convergence going on that it would be nice to also be able to develop applications that can run on the shop floor. So now, you can build apps to deploy very close to a production line or wherever that application might be relevant.”
