Technology Record - Issue 36: Spring 2025

95 Customers no longer need to deploy on-premises infrastructure to support their Hexagon applications in the regions where they operate. This reduces the time and effort needed to get started with a new project or operational facility, while empowering our customers to collaborate on a wide range of devices from virtually any location. With Microsoft, we can accelerate and improve our technological innovations. By shifting resources to new capabilities, and away from supporting and maintaining multiple product versions, we can allocate more time and resources to look ahead at what the market needs. Dynamic software architecture also provides us with consistent user experience and dedicated resources. Microsoft’s platforms are also enabling our AI capabilities. Today, HxGN SDx2 leverages machine learning (ML) to identify tags and metadata from engineering documents and contextualise this critical information around the appropriate assets. A similar approach is used to ‘smartify’ previously unintelligent images like point clouds and panoramas. In addition, we’re using ML technology to develop AI agents that will deliver greater access and insights into industrial data. We are democratising access to industrial data contained in HxGN SDx2 by leveraging Azure AI solutions to develop generative AI agents. Initially, these agents will function as digital interns, quickly locating and retrieving relevant information, before evolving to engineer-level assistants capable of supporting complex technical tasks. By embracing the latest and greatest technology and data features, we can build a strong security base that supports data segregation, data sovereignty and compliance – an essential requirement in our ever-growing digital environment. Technological innovation is driving success across industrial facilities around the world and data optimisation is helping organisations to reach their full potential. Our collaboration with Microsoft has helped us build our reputation as an industrial technology leader. As we look ahead to expand our Smart Digital Reality, Microsoft will be close by our side.
