HxGN Robotic Automation FAQs

1. Can I use my existing robotic hardware with HxGN Robotic Automation?
Yes. HxGN Robotic Automation supports a wide range of robot brands, including KUKA, Fanuc, and ABB, allowing you to integrate your existing robotic hardware without needing to replace or reconfigure equipment.

2. Does HxGN Robotic Automation connect with my current metrology software?
Absolutely. HRA is software-agnostic, meaning it connects seamlessly with Hexagon platforms such as PC-DMIS and Inspire, as well as third-party software like PolyWorks through its standardised API.

3. How can HxGN Robotic Automation help improve my inspection process?
HRA reduces programming time, simplifies robot coordination, and ensures accurate, repeatable results. By connecting robots, sensors, and metrology tools in one workspace, it accelerates inspection while maintaining precision and quality. Additionally, it creates a digital twin of the inspection cell enabling offline programming and simulation, where results can be analysed in metrology software before execution.

4. Do I need specialised programming skills to use HxGN Robotic Automation?
No. HRA is built with an intuitive interface that simplifies robot programming and inspection setup. Engineers can easily plan, simulate, and run inspection tasks without complex coding or robot-specific expertise, while operators use a simple interface to run previously validated programs manually or via PLC triggers. 

5. What types of manufacturing environments can benefit from HxGN Robotic Automation?
HRA is ideal for automotive, aerospace, energy, and precision manufacturing environments - anywhere high-speed, high-accuracy inspection is critical. It scales easily from standalone cells to fully automated production lines.
