Hexagon launches HxGN Alix, its AI-powered assistant to help industrial enterprises digitally transform heavy asset operations

HxGN Alix is the latest addition to Hexagon’s portfolio of AI technologies, empowering enterprises to enhance operational efficiency, safety and resilience through real-time data insights and predictive analytics. The AI assistant seamlessly integrates with Hexagon’s comprehensive Digital Backbone, which connects data, workflow processes and information systems across industrial facilities.

HxGN Alix is available in the latest release of HxGN EAM, with future availability across the Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division portfolio to come in 2025.

Asset-heavy industries, along with enterprises with complex, globally dispersed operations and supply chains, are grappling with several challenges, including replacing ageing physical assets and infrastructure; modernising legacy processes and systems to enable more digitally connected, AI-powered capabilities to make physical assets smarter, more resilient and sustainable; and protecting against cybersecurity threats that could cripple entire supply chains. To date, the deployment of AI solutions at scale has been hindered by communication gaps between stakeholders and technical teams, infrastructure limitations and change management hurdles.

With robust data security protocols and an emphasis on data accuracy, HxGN Alix minimises your risk exposure while delivering accurate, high-performance results.

Easily accessible from within Hexagon solutions, HxGN Alix serves as an intelligent advisory system, offering personalised, dependable support comparable to human expertise while acting as a key player in breaking down information silos.

HxGN Alix exemplifies Hexagon’s commitment to delivering pragmatic, data-secure solutions that address the evolving needs of our customers in asset-heavy industries.”
