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.

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 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.
