Siemens and AWS join forces to democratize generative AI in software development
Siemens CEO Roland Busch and Dr. Wood, VP of Artificial Intelligence at AWS, on stage during the CES keynote, highlighting the partnership to democratize generative AI in software development.
“By integrating Amazon
Bedrock into our low-code platform, we are democratizing generative AI
technology and empowering everyone to create the applications customers need to
become more competitive, resilient, and sustainable,” said Roland Busch, CEO of
Siemens. “Making smarter applications without programming expertise accelerates
innovation and helps companies to tackle skilled labor shortages.”
“Together, AWS and
Siemens are empowering companies worldwide to create new capabilities,
solutions, and value with generative AI,” said Adam Selipsky, AWS CEO. “This
partnership builds on our 10-year relationship with Siemens, giving customers
across all industries the flexible, customizable, secure environment they need
to take advantage of new opportunities with generative AI.”
The combination will
enable customers to select the generative AI model that best suits their
specific use case and quickly and securely incorporate that model into their
applications. This will make their development simpler, faster, and more
efficient. Previously, when developers wanted to integrate generative AI
models, they had to obtain access credentials, and write specialized function
code. With the new Mendix-Amazon Bedrock integration, this can now be done with
just a few clicks. Teams can create smart, industry-hardened applications
without dedicated programming knowledge and users can interact with information
easily via a graphical interface and the simplicity of a drag and drop
commands.
This innovation allows
Mendix customers to apply generative AI to drive productivity within their
workforce. For instance, using generative AI, a factory worker can find machine
documentation faster, generating relevant visualizations without a need to manually
search a database, manuals, and records. A production engineer could also use
generative AI to suggest machine adjustments to improve yield, and get
suggestions on equipment adjustments, maintenance, or even spare parts to
maximize a factory’s productivity.
Customers do not need to build their own AI infrastructure and will be
able to harness the power of their company’s data with the highest possible
security and privacy, maintaining full control of their data.
Generative AI
technology can supercharge applications with features like summarizing and
analyzing lengthy technical or legal documents, translating content into
different languages, or recognizing images. Financial businesses can integrate
automatic fraud detection in their software, while workers in a car factory can
improve quality based on AI analysis of millions of data points in the
manufacturing line. With access to a
choice of foundational models on Amazon Bedrock, users can easily select the
best model for their specific task and integrate it with just a few
clicks.
The collaboration
expands on the long-established partnership between AWS and Siemens to help
streamline the use of IT and cloud technology so it can be easily integrated in
applications and machine workflows, making it seamless to engage with.
Today, more than 50
million end users worldwide work with more than 200,000 applications built with
Mendix’s low-code platform, available as part of the Siemens Xcelerator
portfolio. Low-code platforms are expected to grow substantially over the next
years. The technology enables developers to create applications by drag and
drop with reusable components and software building blocks, which means they
can build more software faster and with smaller teams.
Amazon Bedrock is a
fully managed service that offers easy access to a choice of industry-leading
large language models and other foundation models from AI21 Labs, Amazon,
Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, and Stability AI, along with a broad set of
capabilities that customers need to build generative AI
applications—simplifying development while supporting privacy and
security. Users can also apply
Guardrails to filter undesired content, adhere to responsible AI policies, or
finetune their models using Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock to give
contextual information from private data sources and more relevant, accurate,
and customized responses. The Mendix-Amazon Bedrock integration complements
AWS’s other generative AI services, like Amazon CodeWhisperer, a machine
learning (ML)–powered service that helps improve developer productivity by
generating code recommendations based on developers’ comments in natural
language and their code. Together, the
services extend the benefits of generative AI to developers and enterprise
users regardless of their programming abilities.
Siemens and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are strengthening their partnership to make generative AI easily accessible to application developers across the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem.
