Ericsson and Hexagon partner to enable smart wireless manufacturing

Ericsson and Hexagon share a joint vision of empowering smart, connected and autonomous industries. Both together are committed to optimize processes from design through to production, overcoming the challenges of connectivity within the factory environment as well as throughout the global supply chain. Our common vision will make manufacturing smarter, serving the needs of industries by enabling easy and fast capture, transfer and utilization of data.

Intelligent Connected Ecosystem

Hexagon ecosystem video

Hexagon provides a portfolio of digital manufacturing technologies for the design, engineering, production and metrology phases of the manufacturing process. By connecting data from these traditionally discreet areas of the product lifecycle in real-time, manufacturers will be able to make data-driven decisions that improve quality and productivity.

Ericsson is partnering with Hexagon to make manufacturing smarter with the fast capture, transfer and use of data. Watch in this video how Hexagon is working with Ericsson and Scania to provide wireless communication to factories, process plants or other industry applications that require reliable and robust high capacity wireless networks.

Connected manufacturing: A guide to Industry 4.0 transformation with private cellular technology

Ericsson and Hexagon examined five different smart manufacturing use cases that will enable manufacturers to conduct their operations more efficiently: autonomous mobile robots (AMR), collaborative robots, digital twins, augmented reality and asset condition monitoring.

Our study showed that all the use cases can pay for themselves in three to five years, and when all five are deployed together, payback can occur within two years.
