- New services enabled by the Mendix low-code platform enable data-driven decision making in factories and across enterprise data sources
Siemens Digital Industries Software is leveraging the Mendix™ low-code application development platform to help customers across industries build contextual and personalized solutions and help enable data-driven decision-making processes. With the general availability of Mendix Data Hub and new Mendix for Industrial Edge services, Siemens can help customers achieve an end-to-end view of their plants, factories, and systems and provide domain experts with actionable insights through solutions that have been developed with the right data from across the organization. The Mendix platform extends the Xcelerator™ portfolio with the ability to build multi experience apps and share data from any location, on any device, on any cloud or platform, to more quickly realize the benefits of digital transformation.
Every plant or asset is documented in data. All this data and information is scattered across various platforms and various formats. It is not contextualized nor is it easily accessible. It is simply not data you can rely on. That is where PlantSight comes in. PlantSight consolidates the assets of a plant, by bringing together different types of data (1D, 2D, or 3D) from different sources into a single source of truth.

- Siemens’ lightning information service detected about 329,000 lightning strikes in Germany in 2019 – down 26 percent on 2018
- Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2019 was the city of Speyer in Rhineland-Palatinate
- The fewest strikes were recorded in three Bavarian cities: Hof, Bayreuth and Schweinfurt
- Bavaria was the German state with the most lightning activity in 2019, Potsdam was the leader among state capitals
- The most lightning strikes in 2019 were recorded on June 12
- At European level, Trieste and surrounding area tops the ranking in Siemens’ 2019 lightning atlas
The city of Speyer in the state of Rheinland-Palatinate was Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2019. Siemens’ lightning information service BLIDS (which stands for Blitz-Informationsdienst von Siemens) detected just under 3.1 lightning strikes per square kilometer in Speyer in 2019. The cities of Rostock on the Baltic coast and Lübeck in the state of Schleswig-Holstein took second and third places with 2.6 and 2.5 ground flashes per square kilometer, respectively. Germany’s lowest density of lightning strikes was recorded in the Bavarian cities of Hof and Bayreuth, where considerably fewer than 0.1 lightning strikes per square kilometer were recorded. The Bavarian city of Schweinfurt, which was No. 1 in Siemens’ 2018 lightning atlas, was also at the bottom of the list, recording 0.1 lightning strikes per square kilometer in 2019. With lightning striking just under 2.3 times per square kilometer, Potsdam led the country’s list of state capitals in 2019, followed by the neighboring city of Berlin (rounded off: 2.2). Berlin is also the German state registering the highest lightning density, while Bavaria recorded the highest number of measured ground flashes in 2019. Overall, at 329,000, BLIDS recorded its lowest number of lightning strikes, around 26 percent fewer than in 2018.
