Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence (North Kingstown, Rhode Island) has launched its Integrated Solutions strategic business unit dedicated to Smart Factory systems for advanced manufacturing.
The team will develop automated commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems by integrating the company’s 3D measurement technologies with sensors, software and robotics. The systems are intended to deliver actionable information for predictive manufacturing in a connected Internet of Things (IoT) environment. According to the company, operators and managers will be enabled to monitor, troubleshoot and control production using on-demand access to real-time factory-floor data.
The team is also developing systems featuring robotics integrated with metrology technologies. These in-line, near-line or off-line measurement work cells will be scalable, portable, modular and ready for use on the shop floor. The systems will collect and process data continuously during production operations.
