Cities and nations
For manufacturers, monitoring and protecting critical assets and facilities presents many complex challenges. Explore how Hexagon helps improve security and surveillance operations and business resiliency through better situational awareness and incident management. 

Industrial and commercial resiliency

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

Industrial facilities
Offerings for the full lifecycle of manufacturing assets, with solutions that enable assets to ramp up quickly while operating safely and reliably throughout a more sustainable, longer-term lifespan. Explore how Hexagon is empowering an increasingly autonomous future for the general manufacturing industry.

Design phase

Transform the project vision with Hexagon’s design and engineering software that is the gold standard for precision and ease of use.

Plan phase

Capture an exact digital twin of a site’s existing conditions, features and precise location to facilitate digital design concepts that drive efficiencies and reduce waste throughout the asset lifecycle.

Build phase

Orchestrate a construction project that is a model of productivity and efficiency — achieving the highest quality while avoiding rework and waste.

Operate and maintain phase

Leverage data from the planning, design and build phases to create an operational twin that connects people, processes and events throughout the entire industrial facility lifecycle.

Infrastructure
Hexagon’s solutions for the infrastructure ecosystem enable speed, efficiency and productivity across a variety of general manufacturing-related projects.

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.

Manufacturing
The global supply chain depends on general manufacturers with the ability to switch between different products and deliver to specification. See how Hexagon enables general manufacturers to deliver on customer needs with digitalised manufacturing processes that improve efficiency from quote to shipment.

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.
