TY - CONF AB - Low-code development platforms (LCDPs) recently sparked interest in both academia and industry, promising to speed up software development and make it accessible to users with little or no programming experience. Thus, the mass-development of software applications that are custom-made to the tasks, skills, and preferences of end users is potentially enabled. Although different LCDPs have been analysed with respect to their functionality and applied to exemplary case studies in recent work, there is a shortage of experience reports in which LCDPs are used to digitize business processes in small and medium manufacturing enterprises. In this paper, we therefore summarize our experience from supporting industry partners to identify business processes that are suitable for being implemented with low-code technologies and to select an LCDP that meets the requirements of the business process while aligning with the overall digitization strategy of the respective company. We also present the opportunities and challenges of the low-code approach as perceived by industry partners. In summary, the low-code approach should be seen as an essential factor for the digitization of business processes in small and medium manufacturing companies.

Thus, companies aim for a more efficient development of more effective applications since domain experts as so-called citizen developers are no longer limited by the availability and domain knowledge of trained software developers. Nevertheless, efficiency and effectiveness of application development is traditionally also largely influenced by the use of a suitable software development method. Domain experts are, however, not trained in software development methods. This introduces a risk of domain experts creating unusable applications or exceeding the designated time frame of a project (or both). In this paper, we therefore propose an initial version of a situational software development method which supports domain experts in manufacturing companies during the low-code development of applications. The method can be tailored based on situational factors, considering application requirements, features of the used low-code development platform, and characteristics of the development team. We also present feedback corroborating the usefulness of our method and future extension points based on expert interviews.

This is implemented by a cloud storage (105), the cloud storage (105) comprising a means (105 a) for storing data, a means for receiving first data from a first network node (110), the first data being associated with a physical object, a means for receiving request data from a second network node (120), a means for receiving second data from a third network node (130), the second data being associated with the first data and comprising at least one data piece adapted to change the first data depending on the received request data, a means for changing the first data based at least in part on the second data and the request data, and a means for sending a changed portion of the first data from the cloud storage (105) to the first network node (110).
