Hexagon Announces Production
Software Business
Vero Software, FASys and SPRING
Technologies Unite Under Hexagon Brand
to Strengthen Product Offerings
Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division
announced the formation of its Production
Software business, comprising Vero Software,
FASys and SPRING Technologies. The move,
which sees the three acquisitions adopting
Hexagon’s corporate identity, reflects
Hexagon’s broadening expertise in the
production technology space.
Hexagon acquired Vero Software, a specialist in
CAD CAM software, in 2014 and has continued
to expand and diversify its offering. The 2017
acquisition of FASys brought tooling and resource
management software and shop-floor automation
and integration expertise into the portfolio. SPRING
Technologies, acquired in 2018, provides CNC
simulation technology for G-code verification and
workflow optimisation. Combining components of
this rich portfolio of technology, Hexagon has already
utilised this expertise to develop solutions for reverse
engineering and on-machine measurement.
“Over the last five years our available technology
and solutions have evolved considerably from
the CAD CAM heritage of Vero,” explains Steve
Sivitter, CEO of the Production Software business.
“We’re increasingly focused on developing product
synergies that will help customers improve quality
and productivity. Our technology experts from Vero,
FASys and SPRING have been working very closely
together for some time, so operating together as a
single entity is a natural step for us. We’re all excited
at the prospect of what’s possible now creating
innovative manufacturing intelligence solutions in
the production software space.”
Steve Sivitter, CEO of the Production
Software Business
Norbert Hanke, President of Hexagon’s
Manufacturing Intelligence division, adds: “The
formation of the Production Software business
complements our design and engineering and
metrology businesses, enabling us to build unique
solutions for our customers in manufacturing. As
we develop this approach further, our experience of
leveraging data from all phases of the manufacturing
process will help create the Autonomous Connected
Ecosystems (ACE) that will enable Smart Factories.”
