Digital asset management: the driver of operational efficiency in industry
Asset management has become a strategic pillar for operational efficiency. Today, leading companies in sectors such as transport, healthcare and utilities are adopting digital solutions to transform maintenance management, reduce costs, increase asset availability and ensure compliance.
HxGN EAM, integrated into Hexagon's Smart Digital Reality ecosystem, is at the forefront of this revolution, helping organisations achieve higher levels of performance and resilience.
HxGN EAM: integration, intelligence and efficiency
HxGN EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) is a modular and scalable platform that enables complete asset lifecycle management, from acquisition to decommissioning. Its open architecture facilitates integration with ERP systems such as SAP, creating a bridge between operations and finance.
This integration allows companies to leverage real-time data to optimise maintenance processes, improve asset traceability and reduce operating costs.
The platform offers predictive management, performance analysis and the use of AI
With HxGN EAM, maintenance teams can access procedures, manuals and intervention history at any time via mobile devices.
This increases the efficiency of interventions, reduces downtime and improves the quality of the data collected.
HxGN Alix: the intelligent co-pilot for asset management
One of Hexagon EAM's recent highlights is HxGN Alix, an artificial intelligence module that received the ‘Best AI & Digital Twin Solution 2025’ award. Alix acts as a virtual assistant, integrated directly into HxGN EAM, providing immediate support to users.
With natural language processing capabilities, Alix simplifies complex tasks, speeds up problem solving and improves data accuracy. In addition, it reduces training costs by guiding users through the correct processes, minimising errors and increasing productivity.
HxGN Alix also powers the adoption of Digital Twins, enabling scenario simulation, fault prediction and maintenance strategy optimisation.
Hexagon success stories: from science to high competition
CERN, home to the world's largest particle accelerator, has been using Hexagon technologies for over 30 years in all phases of its projects – from design and manufacturing to installation and maintenance of research systems.
Thanks to Hexagon solutions, teams can align data and validate components across different countries, minimising downtime and maximising the performance of scientific infrastructure.
The use of precision metrology and scanning enables CERN to reduce average intervention time, ensuring continuous operations in laboratories and facilities critical to science globally.
Oracle Red Bull Racing, one of the most successful teams in Formula 1, has revolutionised its entire approach to parts production and maintenance with the support of Hexagon solutions.
Oracle Red Bull Racing has reduced manufacturing failures by 50%
Using advanced metrology technologies, the team has reduced manufacturing failures by half, accelerating component development and increasing the reliability of its cars on the track.
This case study highlights how the integration of digital twins, hyper-accurate inspection systems and digital workflows is critical to operational excellence, even under the most demanding conditions of motor racing.
Operational efficiency: the result of digital transformation
The digital transformation of maintenance brings tangible benefits to organisations. Companies that implement HxGN EAM report significant reductions in maintenance costs, increased asset availability and improved data quality. Integration with ERP systems such as SAP enables a holistic view of operations, facilitating strategic decision-making and resource optimisation.
In addition, the adoption of technologies such as AI and digital twins is preparing companies for the challenges of the future, such as the transition to faster settlement cycles and increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions. Digital maintenance is not just a trend; it is a necessity to ensure long-term competitiveness and sustainability.
