At present, Asset Management targets the sCMM market (latest controllers only), but the technology roadmap includes more focus areas in the near future: Laser trackers, Arms, older CMM controllers, other CMM brands, CNC machines, etc. Asset Management is a cloud-based solution that will maximize the value of our customers’ assets through Remote Monitoring, Analytics for Resource Management and, in 2020, adding Pro-active, Predictive and Prescriptive maintenance. The release of HxGN SFx | Asset Management, introduces a new IoT business model. In April 2019 we announced the release of a first solution from our SFx solution portfolio at Hannover Messe in Germany. In effect, we want to give our customers the ability to make their products smarter today. We believe that taking steps toward the Smart Factory now will produce revolutionary results in the long term. Hence, the Smart Factory of tomorrow must be an evolution of the existing manufacturing Factory ecosystem of today. Manufacturers today typically can’t afford the cost and disruption of replacing their existing infrastructure with completely new facilities to create Smart Factories. The result, we believe, will be a more efficient and agile ecosystem, less downtime, and a greater ability to predict and adjust to changes within the facility, as well as changes in the supply chain or in customer demand, thus promising a more sustainable future for manufacturing. By removing the common problems of data silos, data gaps and data wastage, processes can be continuously optimized in a Smart Factory. The term ‘ Smart Factory’ is just another way of saying that companies who want to move their manufacturing towards a fully connected and intelligent ecosystem to leverage a constant stream of data from simulations, connected operations, and production systems to learn and to adapt to new and changing conditions. If we look backwards to what was called ‘Industry 3.0’, factories in the 20th century were focused on simple automation of tasks. By Brian Shepherd, Senior Vice President Software Solutions, Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence divisionįor the first time in history it’s now possible for factories to harness the full potential of their manufacturing and simulation data.
