Hexagon’s approach and value in the manufacturing ecosystem

What if you could view any product from concept to customer, through service life to recycling, while minimising waste?

A smarter approach to manufacturing

Hexagon’s manufacturing technology solutions create a digital thread throughout all manufacturing processes that provide insights to help you continuously improve time-to-market, quality and productivity, enabling the entire ecosystem to connect, analyse , learn and improve over time. Hexagon’s approach can help you:

Unlock value from data you already have but don’t use — Every factory generates a vast amount of data throughout the entire manufacturing process. We digitalise the manufacturing ecosystem, putting this data to work to connect entire workflows and build autonomy and intelligence into every process.
Change incrementally, improve exponentially — Hexagon recognises that digital transformation is a process, not a single act. Even incremental steps in digitalisation can vastly improve quality while reducing costs and waste.
Create a Smart Digital Reality — Hexagon’s approach is to create a Smart Digital Reality — a living digital twin of the manufacturing process, so the entire product lifecycle can be simulated, visualised and optimised in real time.

What's holding you back?

Siloed, inaccessible or static data
Limited data-sharing or connectivity across the entire asset and product lifecycle and between departments, OEMs and the supply network
Increasingly shorter product lifecycles
Maintaining quality at lower price thresholds
Slow response time and lack of agility to supply/demand interruptions
No resilience plan for physical and digital assets

Capturing data to create and deliver value across the manufacturing ecosystem

Productivity

Continuously improving productivity is essential to any manufacturing facility. Hexagon’s manufacturing technology helps customers improve productivity and embed quality throughout the asset and product lifecycle by creating an increasingly connected and autonomous manufacturing ecosystem that enables data to be captured, connected, shared and leveraged throughout all process phases.

Speed, accuracy and agility

Digitalisation allows product prototypes to be designed, viewed, tested and simulated in millions of real-world scenarios quickly and accurately, getting higher-quality products to market ahead of competitors.

Resilience and control

Consumer preferences change often, and manufacturers need to be able to react quickly. Hexagon’s smart solutions provide manufacturers with visibility and control over the entire value chain, including the physical plant and workers, for maximum resilience to an ever-changing marketplace.

Quality and productivity

Better research and design along with more efficient production and quality control means increased productivity, better quality and less waste. That’s good for the bottom line and critical for scaling sustainability for planet Earth.
