Hexagon's HxGN APM drives proactive risk management and detects emerging failure risks, assisting asset-intensive industries like manufacturing

Hexagon, the global leader in digital reality solutions, including autonomous sensor and software technologies, has announced a comprehensive risk management solution

This solution named HxGN APM is designed to help asset-intensive organisations proactively identify and mitigate asset risks, minimise downtime and optimise maintenance expenditure.

Ideal for the needs of manufacturers, HxGN APM will provide a myriad of benefits through its sophisticated detection architecture and advanced analytics.

“The addition of HxGN APM to Hexagon’s portfolio provides enhanced analytical insights across the asset lifecycle, enabling organisations to maximise the delivery capability of their industrial assets at an optimal cost and risk profile,” says Joe Nichols, Vice President of Portfolio Strategy for APM, Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division.

This announcement comes after Hexagon acquired Itus Digital, an asset performance management (APM) solution provider based in Roanoke, Virginia, US earlier this year.

This acquisition, now part of Hexagon's Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division, brings additional technological and strategic value to the company.

HxGN APM with its advanced optimisation engine, will enable manufacturers to balance the performance, risk and cost of asset strategies, extending asset life cycles and enhancing efficiency in a data-driven, sustainable manner.

  • Enables proactive work processes: Continuously analyses asset failure risk and directs maintenance, inspections, and monitoring activities based on actual condition and health.
  • Ensures rapid failure detection and prevention: Using the embedded Asset Twin Library, HxGN APM offers pre-set asset strategies and analytics to predict potential failures before they occur.

HxGN APM also boasts an intuitive application process, streamline system integrated and enhanced scalability.

Hexagon, which operates in 50 countries and has approximately 24,500 employees, has the infrastructure to effortlessly scale the solution, monitoring 25 assets all the way to one million.

“Unplanned downtime costs manufacturing companies a staggering $50 billion annually." comments Bas Beemsterboer, Senior Director of Sales Strategy at Hexagon's Asset Lifecycle Intelligence Division.

"HxGN APM enables manufacturers to adopt a structured approach to operationalize asset strategies, safely maximizing predictable production at the lowest sustainable cost. Purpose-built for manufacturers, HxGN APM leverages existing information sources like asset records, order history, and sensor data to provide stakeholders with critical visibility into risk, cost, and performance data they previously lacked.”
