Manufacturing
Higher education is a key source of new talent, and Hexagon can’t wait to work with the next generation of top engineers. Collaborating with universities presents an opportunity to invest in the future, inspire communities around the world and accelerate innovation in manufacturing technology.

Design and engineering phase

With Hexagon’s innovations in manufacturing technology, users can digitally simulate and optimise product design and engineering to ensure component manufacturability, production productivity and output quality.

Production phase

Maintain a digital thread through production, optimise machine tools, measure environmental variances and prevent downtime with predictive data analyses.

Inspection phase

Automate and digitalise quality measurement with our world-leading metrology hardware and software, creating a bridge between the real and digital worlds.

Digital transformation

Deploy Hexagon’s sensor software systems to transform siloed and disconnected processes into an integrated, data-driven manufacturing ecosystem that captures and creates value across the product lifecycle, enabling new business models and automating workflows to become increasingly autonomous, efficient and sustainable.

Autonomous mobility
Autonomous mobility is accelerating, and there is no end in sight to innovation in the industry. Hexagon is committed to empower education toward developing new autonomous solutions that leverage powerful data to keep humanity moving.

Deployment solutions

Deploying autonomous solutions that enable customers to quickly scale from prototype R&D and testing phases to full production in a variety of emerging and fast-paced market segments.

Cities and nations
Hexagon provides educational and research institutions with geospatial software to better understand and solve some of the biggest challenges facing cities and nations.

Industrial and commercial resiliency

Forge safer industrial and commercial facilities with scalable surveillance, security and incident management capabilities.

Mapping solutions

Leverage location intelligence with solutions that capture, visualise, analyse and derive insights from location data to address a variety of urban and national challenges.

Public administration solutions

Easily share data for census, cadastral management, public works and interagency situational awareness with cloud-based applications and collaborative solutions.

Defence
The defence ecosystem is constantly evolving, and education must evolve alongside it to keep the world safe. Hexagon engages with universities to share the data and technologies that are shaping the global future.

APNT (Assured positioning, navigation and timing)

Ensure resilient and robust positioning, navigation and timing through anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technologies critical to prevail in contested environments.

C4ISR solutions

Deploy high-performance visualisation and analysis applications for C4ISR across air, land, sea and joint battlefield operations and command centre strategies.

Infrastructure
As cities and nations grow, so do their needs. Hexagon provides autonomous solutions that empower the cities and nations of today and provide essential resources for the builders of tomorrow.

Construct phase

Maintain a data-driven approach to orchestrate the entire construction phase, creating a 3D model of productivity and efficiency — with higher quality, fewer reworks and less waste — while layering 4D cost and 5D BIM scheduling data throughout the project.
