Driving Agility and Compliance in Aerospace & Defense with a Flexible, Personalized MES

The manufacturing industry—especially aerospace and defense—requires systems that can adapt quickly to change while ensuring efficiency, precision, and innovation. A flexible, user-driven manufacturing execution system (MES) brings new levels of agility and productivity to highly regulated, complex environments where traceability and compliance are critical. Siemens meets these needs by integrating its Opcenter Execution MES for discrete and process manufacturing with the Mendix low-code platform. This combination enables rapid personalization, configurable workflows, and seamless cross-domain connectivity, allowing aerospace and defense manufacturers to streamline operations, accelerate innovation, and maintain strict quality and regulatory standards.
