Hexagon Elite Awards presented to winners across 10 unique categories at HxGN LIVE Global 2023 ceremony

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division tonight announced the recipients of its 2023 Hexagon Elite Awards during HxGN LIVE Global 2023 at Caesars Forum, the flagship digital reality technology conference built for the future, providing access to Hexagon’s latest sensor, software and autonomous technologies. The third annual awards were presented at a ceremony as part of the Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division’s party for HxGN LIVE attendees.

The Hexagon Elite Awards honor Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division customers who are champions of progress and innovation using Hexagon solutions. This year’s awards recognize winners aligned with the Smart Digital Reality™, a unified, role-based, real-time view of the physical and digital realities across a project and asset portfolio. This accelerates data velocity across the asset lifecycle to enable improved collaboration and smarter decision-making that increases productivity, operational integrity and sustainability of industrial facilities.

It is powered by the Digital Backbone, Hexagon’s engine for interoperability, intelligence and innovation that connects data across the entire industrial asset lifecycle, enabling users to achieve more digital twins, third-party software and legacy systems.

“We are excited that this competition continues to elevate and elicit interest worldwide in Hexagon’s ever-evolving portfolio,” said David Cryer, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division. “We again received numerous outstanding submissions created using our solutions and are pleased to recognize all these 2023 honorees for their impressive work.”
