About Hexagon Smart Manufacturing

Hexagon Smart Manufacturing is an integrated digital platform that transforms traditional manufacturing operations into intelligent, data-driven ecosystems. The solution combines IoT connectivity, advanced analytics, automation, and quality management capabilities to enable manufacturers to optimize production efficiency, improve product quality, and achieve sustainability goals. The platform integrates real-time data from shop floor equipment, production systems, and enterprise applications, providing actionable insights through AI-powered analytics and dashboards. Key capabilities include production planning and scheduling, quality control automation, predictive maintenance, inventory optimization, and supply chain visibility. AiDOOS enhances deployment through expert implementation services, ensures governance via managed compliance oversight, streamlines integrations with existing manufacturing systems, and optimizes scalability across multi-site operations. The platform supports manufacturers in reducing downtime, minimizing defects, accelerating time-to-market, and making informed decisions based on comprehensive operational visibility.

Challenges It Solves

  • Manual production processes and disconnected data systems limit visibility and decision-making speed
  • Quality issues and defects discovered late in production increase costs and customer dissatisfaction
  • Unplanned equipment downtime and reactive maintenance disrupt production schedules and profitability
  • Lack of real-time insights prevents manufacturers from optimizing resource utilization and throughput
  • Difficulty tracking sustainability metrics and compliance requirements across complex operations
