Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has announced the formation of its new Production Software business, comprising Vero Software, FASys and Spring Technologies.
This development, which sees the three acquisitions adopting Hexagon’s corporate identity, reflects the company’s broadening expertise in the production technology space.
Hexagon (
www.hexagonmi.com) 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 plus shopfloor automation and integration expertise into the portfolio. Spring Technologies, acquired in 2018, provides CNC simulation for G-code verification and work-flow optimisation.
Steve Sivitter, CEO of the Production Software business, said: “Over the last five years, our available technology and solutions have evolved considerably from the CAD/CAM heritage of Vero.
"We’re increasingly focused on developing product synergies that will help customers improve their quality and productivity.
"Our technology experts from Vero, FASys and Spring have been working very closely for some time, so operating together as a single entity is a natural step for us.”
Norbert Hanke, president of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division, said: “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 to create the autonomous connected ecosystems that will enable smart factories.”
