Siemens and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are enhancing their collaboration to facilitate the development and scaling of generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications for businesses of all sizes and industries. The partnership aims to empower domain experts in various fields, such as engineering, manufacturing, logistics, insurance, or banking, to create and upgrade applications with advanced generative AI technology more easily.
Siemens is integrating Amazon Bedrock, a service offering high-performing foundation models from leading AI companies via a single API, with Mendix, a leading low-code platform within the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. This integration enables users to select generative AI models that suit their specific use cases and quickly incorporate them into applications with security, privacy, and responsible AI capabilities.
The Mendix-Amazon Bedrock integration streamlines the process of integrating generative AI models. Instead of requiring access credentials and specialized function code, developers can now accomplish this with just a few clicks. The integration allows teams to create smart applications without extensive programming knowledge, employing a graphical interface and drag-and-drop commands.
This innovation enables Mendix customers to apply generative AI to enhance workforce productivity. For instance, factory workers can use generative AI to locate machine documentation more efficiently, generating relevant visualizations without manual searches. Production engineers can receive machine adjustment suggestions to improve yield and optimize factory productivity.
Generative AI technology can enhance applications with features such as summarizing and analyzing documents, translating content, recognizing images, and more. The collaboration builds on the existing partnership between AWS and Siemens to streamline the use of IT and cloud technology in applications and machine workflows.
Mendix, with over 50 million end users globally, offers a low-code platform that enables developers to create applications through drag-and-drop with reusable components and software building blocks. The integration with Amazon Bedrock complements AWS’ generative AI services and supports privacy, security, and responsible AI policies.
The collaboration aims to simplify the development of generative AI applications, making it easier for businesses to leverage advanced AI capabilities within their applications and workflows.
