HxGN LIVE Global 2023: An exploration of the technology with Hexagon’s CTO

• HxGN LIVE Global 2023 offers an immersive tech experience, with its centrepiece, The Zone, showcasing innovative digital solutions across eight distinct summits.
• The Zone exhibits Hexagon's latest tech, including advancements in defense, industrial facilities, construction, safety and security, manufacturing and mining.
• The technology conference reveals the future of digital solutions, with key innovations like Nexus — a cloud-based digital reality platform for manufacturing — and the debut of Leica CountryMapper, a unique airborne hybrid sensor.

As HxGN LIVE Global 2023 unfolds, attendees and the tech community are actively engaged and experiencing first-hand the latest advancements in digital solutions. A high point of the conference is The Zone, an expo hall where cutting-edge technology, such as Hexagon’s Tech Highlights, is more than just displayed — it's brought to life.

The Zone is unveiled through a virtual tour guided by Hexagon’s Chief Technology Officer, Burkhard Boeckem. With his expert insights, attendees are taken on a detailed journey through The Zone's eight distinct summit islands. Each island spotlights Hexagon's dynamic offerings in diverse domains such as smart digital factories, mines, integrated emergency management, infrastructure and construction.

It all starts at the Innovation Hub, where Hexagon's cutting-edge solutions come to life. Launching at this year’s HxGN LIVE Global, Reality Cloud Studio, powered by HxDR, automates registration and meshing so users can easily create virtual tours, collaborate in real-time and securely store and share their reality capture data.

For Digital Industrial Facilities, Hexagon is proud to present two new updates to HxGN EAM. The inclusion of the Python framework allows users to automate tasks, extend functionality and develop custom functions for efficient EAM solutions. Additionally, the new Root Cause Analysis feature empowers industrial facilities to investigate critical failures and implement corrective action quickly and efficiently.

iConstruct, an innovative technology that integrates advanced BIM technology to enhance safety, sustainability and cost-effectiveness, is also showcased in the Digital Industrial Facilities area. With its Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) and workface planning solutions, iConstruct boosts team productivity and collaboration.

At Digital Innovation in Construction, Hexagon showcases REVEAL by AGTEK and HxGN AEC Project Viewer. REVEAL by AGTEK employs artificial intelligence to classify objects logically using data from drones or laser scanners. HxGN AEC Project Viewer, a BIM-based software, supports model, programme and document management processes, improving construction project management.

Pure Surveying is where top-of-the-line sensor technology meets powerful software to transform the surveying industry. Here simplicity, automation and intelligence come together in the Leica Pegasus TRK100, a lightweight and easy-to-use mobile mapping system that only takes one person to operate.

At Future of Manufacturing, we see Nexus, a cloud-based digital reality platform that promotes real-time collaboration using a data-centric approach. Nexus, coupled with the virtual demo of PRESTO, a game-changer for 3D scanning workflows, propels manufacturing into the autonomous future.

Intelligent Mining displays unique solutions for safer, more productive and sustainable mining, including HxGN Autonomous Mining and HxGN Underground Mining solutions.

For Geospatial Asset Management, the focus is on HxGN NetWorks. It uses digital twins of physical networks and assets to optimise every phase of the asset management lifecycle. Adding to the excitement is the debut of the Leica CountryMapper, the world's first airborne hybrid sensor for large-area data collection.

Safety takes the spotlight at the Future of Public Safety with Qognify VMS, Hexagon's physical security software. It presents an integrated video monitoring solution for job sites using video analytics and cloud technology.

Finally, the Digital Defense sector shines with new tech solutions to boost situational awareness for defense organisations. On display is LuciadCPillar for Android, a platform for mobile applications supporting dismounted soldiers in the field.

As Hexagon continues to chart the course for the future of digital reality, this year's technology conference promises to be a truly transformative experience for all attendees. Prepare to be amazed, inspired and informed. Welcome to The Zone at HxGN LIVE Global, and welcome to the future of industry!
