The Manufacturing Intelligence division of Hexagon announces the formation of its Production software business, comprising Vero Software, FASys and Spring Technologies. The three acquisitions in the operation are adopting Hexagon’s corporate identity, complementing the company’s design and engineering and metrology businesses with solutions in the production software space.
Hexagon acquired Vero Software, a specialist in CAD CAM software, in 2014 and has continued to expand and diversify its offering. The 2017 acquisition of FASys brought tooling and resource management software and shop-floor automation and integration expertise into the portfolio. Spring Technologies, acquired in 2018, provides CNC simulation technology for G-code verification and workflow optimisation.
By combining components of this rich portfolio of technology, Hexagon has already utilised this expertise to develop solutions for reverse engineering and on-machine measurement. The experience of leveraging data from all phases of the manufacturing process will help create the Autonomous connected ecosystems (ACE) that will enable Smart Factories.
