Siemens industrial IoT, combined with the Industrial Edge and the low-code capabilities of Mendix, is an integral part of the newly launched Siemens Xcelerator business platform. Industrial IoT-as-a-service capabilities are fully available to the Siemens portfolio. Customers and partners across the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem are being enabled to build their industry-specific solutions and applications with efficiency and ease.
A look at PAC RADAR’s findings
The report outlines why Siemens is considered as the leading vendor for cloud-centric IIoT, including:
- Using digital twins to form the basis for our cloud-centric IIoT model.
“No other vendor in the landscape we evaluate here has focused more on building digital twins around products, production, and in-service processes over the past few years.”
- Integrating industrial IoT into the Siemens Digital Industries portfolio, around PLM (Teamcenter), Industrial Edge, MOM/MES, and the Mendix low-code application development platform.
- Shifting to a SaaS model, including the launch of the Xcelerator as a Service (XaaS) portfolio.
