Hexagon unveils HxGN SDx2: Transforming industrial asset management

Hexagon, a global leader in digital reality solutions that integrates sensors, software, and autonomous technologies, has launched HxGN SDx2, a cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS solution. This platform is designed to create a connected, insightful digital backbone for industrial facilities by integrating data, work processes, and information systems, providing contextual, role-based insights across the asset lifecycle. HxGN SDx2 aims to transform industrial projects and facilities into resilient, efficient, and safe operations. Enterprises with extensive physical operations and industrial assets—such as energy companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, semiconductor firms, and process manufacturers—face significant challenges including aging infrastructure, legacy systems, cybersecurity risks, fragmented data strategies, and rising maintenance costs.

Similarly, the engineering and construction firms supporting asset owners are challenged to deliver industrial projects profitably, safely and sustainably on schedule amid rising complexity.

HxGN SDx2: Simplifying Digital Transformation and ESG Compliance in Industrial Management

As demands for digital transformation and ESG compliance increase, so does the complexity of achieving optimal business operations. To navigate this challenging landscape successfully, industrial enterprises require a holistic solution like HxGN SDx2. This platform 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 and empowers enterprises to unlock the full potential of the digital thread. By adopting a data-agnostic approach, it seamlessly integrates with existing systems and workflows, facilitating data aggregation and contextualization, analysis and continuous improvement of assets while extending the value of prior technology investments.

“Industrial enterprises face numerous operational challenges as they digitalize physical operations to enhance intelligence, efficiency and resilience,” said 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.
