About Mendix
Mendix is a low-code platform that incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) to simplify and expedite the application development process. Aimed at both professional developers and business users, Mendix enables the creation of complex applications with minimal coding. In a manufacturing environment where machine operators, production coordinators and shift supervisors have unique responsibilities, Mendix enables these users to create personalized applications to support their job functions, no matter their level of coding or development expertise.
- With Mendix, there is no need to spend years learning a programming language.
- Users can drag and drop the elements needed from a variety of application templates.
- Low-code templates provide adaptability by allowing teams to adjust generic capabilities that are common in the industry to their specific processes.
- Mendix brings mobile access to everyday tasks, allowing remote inspection of the shop floor when it is not convenient or safe to perform onsite inspections.
- The platform seamlessly integrates into the digital enterprise, providing powerful tools for turning ideas into functional applications quickly and efficiently.
EngOEE Mendix Application
Engineering Industries eXcellence has recently developed and launched our very own Mendix application, EngOEE. EngOEE is an application accelerator that enables real-time asset performance monitoring in a manufacturing environment. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that measures how well equipment in a manufacturing plant is utilized in relation to its full potential. Monitoring OEE offers manufacturers several key benefits that can significantly boost the productivity, efficiency and profitability of their operations. Our Digital Manufacturing team will continue developing Mendix applications to meet the needs of our customers across industrial sectors.
