Localization is one of the main reasons why Hexagon has achieved remarkable results in the Chinese market. Hexagon is committed to the introduction and localization of product technology, and it is not the advanced technology directly to China, but according to the specific needs of domestic industry customers to improve the program, technology and equipment.
For Hexagon, in addition to technology localization, the localization of the industrial chain and supply chain is more important, and the upstream and downstream of the industry is focused on creating an intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. At present, Hexagon is also the main chain enterprise of the precision instrument industry in Shandong Province, relying on the industrial chain to achieve strong chain and chain supplement, promote the upstream and downstream of high-end measurement equipment, and localization of core components, is the next focus of Hexagon’s work.
The basis of quality power or high-quality development is precision measurement. Creating intelligent manufacturing with quality as the core and creating an intelligent ecology with quality as the core are the main goals of Hexagon.
From Hexagon’s perspective, the essence of digitalization is to put eyes and wisdom into manufacturing through software and sensor technology. Based on Hexagon’s digital transformation experience, some suggestions for digitalization are made.
Getting digital right starts with solving three problems:
First, figure out why you want to do digital.
Second, choose what methodology to use based on the characteristics of the enterprise itself.
Third, digitization is a gradual iterative process.
