Hexagon Advances Enterprises with AI-Powered EcoSys 9.4 release

Hexagon makes available EcoSys 9.4, the latest in its Enterprise Project Performance solution. This update introduces Hexagon’s generative AI chat assistant, HxGN Alix, which is embedded within EcoSys to help organizations plan and manage complex projects.

EcoSys 9.4 is an advancement toward intelligent project ecosystems. It allows users to interact with project data through a conversational interface powered by HxGN Alix. 

HxGN Alix represents the latest advancement in Hexagon’s AI solutions suite, offering real-time data insights and predictive analytics. Serving as an intelligent GenAI assistant, HxGN Alix offers personalized support that mirrors human expertise, helping to eliminate information silos. Later this year, HxGN Alix will expand across Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence portfolio, amplifying its impact across industries.

Key capabilities of HxGN Alix include:

• Conversational data access: Users can query project data using plain language.
• Actionable insights: Receive real-time recommendations tailored to project context.
• Streamlined workflows: Automate routine tasks like reporting and data retrieval. Leverage tools-based AI behind the scenes to enable the model to interact intelligently with the data and business workflows.
• Governance: Alix can only access the same information as the assisted user. 
• Next Steps: Based on early adopter feedback, Alix will be enhanced to include abilities to navigate users to relevant screens.

EcoSys 9.4 is developed in collaboration with Hexagon’s global customer base.

“EcoSys 9.4 is the latest example of Hexagon’s commitment to delivering intelligent solutions that empower our customers to achieve substantial improvements across the construction project lifecycle,” says Corey Short, vice president, Product | BUILD Pillar, Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division. “With HxGN Alix now in EcoSys, we’re expanding what’s possible in project performance – enabling teams to achieve exceptional results and deliver successful projects, time after time.”

This release builds on EcoSys' project lifecycle dataset for Enterprise Project Performance and enables clients to unlock their data by enabling an AI driven chat experience where users can get answers across various datasets.

The EcoSys platform is part of Octave, the proposed spin-off from Hexagon AB that is slated to debut in the first half of 2026, bringing together the Asset Lifecycle Intelligence and Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial divisions, along with ETQ and Bricsys. Octave specializes in advanced data analytics and AI-driven solutions.
