Hexagon Introduces HxGN SDx2 SaaS Solution

Hexagon has launched HxGN SDx2, a cloud-native, multi-tenant software-as-a-service solution designed to deliver a connected, insightful digital backbone for industrial facilities. HxGN SDx2 joins data, work processes and information systems to deliver contextualized, role-based insights throughout the asset lifecycle—taking industrial projects and facilities and turning them into production operations, Hexagon says.

HxGN SDx2 integrates project and asset operational data to create a digital twin that improves the comprehensive management of the industrial facility lifecycle.

HxGN SDx2 is a scalable, extensible solution that connects across various industrial environments. By adopting a data-agnostic approach, it integrates with existing systems and workflows, facilitating data aggregation and contextualization, analysis and continuous improvement of assets.

“Industrial enterprises face numerous operational challenges as they digitalize physical operations to enhance intelligence, efficiency and resilience,” says Mattias Stenberg, President, Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division. “With HxGN SDx2, we are transforming the way industrial enterprises manage their assets throughout their entire lifecycle. This solution is pivotal to our Smart Digital Reality vision, enabling organizations to integrate new and existing workflows smoothly, maintain data integrity and achieve material gains in efficiency and sustainability.”

HxGN SDx2 offers real-time data access that minimizes search time and directly supports enhanced engineering design quality, improved safety and boosted operational efficiency, Hexagon reports. Key HxGN SDx2 features that support these benefits include:

• Early Issue Detection: Access to data and real-time insights reduces unplanned downtime and maintenance costs, while integrated engineering visualization tools foster communication and coordination among stakeholders. 
• Info Map: The ability to visualize comprehensive, connected asset-related information enhances accessibility and improves operational efficiency.
• Visual Intelligence: Moving from document-centric information management to object-level data allows users to leverage visual intelligence reports where continuously updated 2D and 3D designs are viewed simultaneously.
• Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Capabilities: Automating processes and data collection and management reduces reliance on manual efforts.

HxGN SDx2 is at the heart of Hexagon’s Smart Digital Reality vision, offering a comprehensive view of industrial facilities and infrastructure, according to Hexagon. It provides deep insights into project and asset status and performance, identifying challenges and opportunities, adds Hexagon.
