Quality – the biggest needle mover in manufacturing
Whether you design, invent, manufacture, test or service products – ultimately, it's about people. No matter what we make as manufacturers, every component, part or product is made to improve our quality of life.
Quality means many things to manufacturers. It's an international standard. It's a legal definition. It's a checkpoint controlling what leaves the factory. To the end user, it's none of those things. It's a feeling. Delivering this feeling is the foundation of long-term commercial success.
A quality-focussed strategy is the biggest needle mover in manufacturing today. Imagine any concern you have right now whether it's agility, scalability or time-to-market – with one truly connected approach for quality you can not only put your worries to rest – you can develop incredible new capabilities that position your business for long-term success.
Rather than focussing on a specific area or a specific problem, Hexagon creates a holistic system for success.
Designed for seamless connectivity, this enables us to put your data to work to its fullest.
Extending way beyond the design, make and inspect phases of manufacturing, our solution unleashes potential across every phase of the business cycle, from planning and management to customer fulfilment. Entirely seamless, it transforms data from siloed asset into the very connecting fibre of your business, unleashing a multiplier effect across your value chain.
Fusing digital and real worlds, we create immersive digital twins of products, assets and facilities – this means you can test, explore and iterate entirely in the virtual world. This gives you the freedom to innovate, explore and scale up production, closing the loop on cost, quality, innovation and sustainability. By embedding advanced automation – optimisation is driven to new levels.
