Calling All Photonics Innovators: Launch of the Photonics Innovation Awards 2025

<p dir="ltr" id="isPasted">Manufacturers operate in a rapidly evolving environment with a unique set of challenges. Global competition drives them to reduce costs while meeting rising quality expectations. There's also a race to achieve faster time-to-market to attract and retain clients. Meanwhile, government and industry bodies around the globe have been enforcing stringent sustainability mandates. To meet these targets, manufacturers work towards reducing greenhouse emissions and adopt circular economy practices.</p><p dir="ltr">On top of this, the pace of technological advancement presents another challenge. Staying competitive requires manufacturers to adopt new technologies, which often comes with high upfront costs and can disrupt established workflows. As teams adjust to new workflow, productivity can temporarily dip, which creates strain.</p><p dir="ltr">To overcome these challenges, manufacturers need data-driven strategies to boost accuracy, productivity, and adaptability. Intergrating digital solutions is the way forward as it helps make informed decisions to streamline processes and stay competitive in an every-changing industry.</p><h3 dir="ltr">The Rise of Smart Manufacturing: A Transformation Underway</h3><p dir="ltr">The fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, is helping manufacturers integrate digital technologies such as automation, AI, cloud computing, and IoT to create smart factories where machinery, sensors, and software are connected. With real-time data collection and intelligent analytics, companies can detect inefficiencies and make informed decisions to optimize processes.</p><p dir="ltr">As a leader in this space, Hexagon offers integrated manufacturing intelligence that spans from design to the final product. By providing tools for design, simulation, and quality management, Hexagon enables manufacturers to adopt processes that drive precision, sustainability, and adaptability.</p><table style="width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 100%; vertical-align: top;"><h2 dir="ltr" id="isPasted">Did you miss it? Watch Wevolver's reporting from Hexagon Live in Eindhoven on-demand</h2><p dir="ltr" id="isPasted">Throughout the event, Wevolver was reporting live on our social media channels from the center of the action on Day 1, which saw an engineering marvel in the form of Max Verstappen’s 2021 championship-winning car, showcased by Oracle Red Bull Racing and the grand opening of Hexagon's brand new 400 square meters Experience Center.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.wevolver.com/article/highlights-from-hexagon-live-2024-watch-the-livestream-on-demand" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="button-main-action">Watch the livestream</a></p></td></tr></tbody></table><h2 dir="ltr">The Need for Advanced Digital Manufacturing Technologies</h2><h3 dir="ltr">Addressing Industry Challenges</h3><p dir="ltr">Manufacturers face a range of challenges that impact every stage of the production cycle. One of the most pressing is supply chain instability, caused by factors such as natural disasters, trade restrictions, and pandemics. These disruptions can delay production in today's globally distributed supply chains.</p><p dir="ltr">Energy and resource efficiency have become critical priorities due to fluctuating energy prices fueled by current geopolitical tensions. High energy costs increase production expenses, trimming already slim margins.</p><p dir="ltr">Equipment downtime poses another key efficiency roadblock. Not only does it require costly repairs but also ends up wasting valuable man-hours. The rising demand for customized products adds to these challenges. Manufacturers are now required to frequently perform time-consuming reconfiguration tasks to accommodate a wider variety of designs.</p><h3 dir="ltr">Solving Challenges with Digital Innovation</h3><p dir="ltr">Digital solutions are addressing core challenges in energy efficiency, downtime reduction, and product customization. While implementing these technologies requires an initial investment, they provide long-term benefits.</p><p dir="ltr">To manage high energy costs, manufacturers are adopting IoT-based energy monitoring and automation systems. These systems utilize sensors and smart controls to optimize energy consumption in real time. For instance, occupancy sensors can detect activity in different areas, adjusting lighting and HVAC systems to minimize energy waste.</p><p dir="ltr">Predictive maintenance has proven effective in minimizing unplanned equipment downtime. The system leverages historical data analysis, real-time machine health monitoring, and machine learning. When an anomaly or potential failure pattern is identified, the system alerts engineers to perform maintenance before a breakdown occurs.</p><p dir="ltr">In response to increasing demand for customized products, manufacturers are turning to digital twins. By creating virtual replicas of production systems, engineers can simulate and test custom designs before production begins, accelerating the design-to-manufacturing cycle. Additionally, companies are deploying flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), which feature modular workstations that can be retooled quickly. This flexibility allows manufacturers to easily switch between different product designs without requiring extensive modifications to the factory setup.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Driving the Manufacturing Intelligence Transformation</h2><p dir="ltr">Hexagon’s intelligence solutions integrate into the manufacturing ecosystem by seamlessly connecting tools, technologies, and data throughout entire production cycles. At the heart of this integration is the use of advanced tools such as digital twins, automation systems, and simulations. This integration allows data collection from each stage of the process allowing teams to monitor progress more effectively.</p><p dir="ltr">Metrology tools help companies ensure that components and products meet exact specifications, maintaining precision throughout production. This minimizes extensive rework and material waste caused by incorrect tolerances. Hexagon enhances this process by providing in-process measurement systems that monitor and measure parts directly on the production line.</p><p dir="ltr">Hexagon's innovative solutions enable real-time collaboration between design and production teams. Through digital simulation, manufacturers can optimize designs before production begins. The ability to check components digitally reduces development time, minimizes material waste, and enhances safety in industries like automotive and electronics.</p><p dir="ltr">The company combines automation technologies with its cutting-edge software to optimize manufacturing workflows. By integrating real-time data, it enhances process efficiency and improves operational outcomes.</p><p dir="ltr">Its predictive maintenance solutions identify potential issues so that engineers can address problems before they cause costly breakdowns. Such practices ensure smooth operations and extend the lifespan of equipment. Hexagon’s IoT-enabled energy monitoring tools further support sustainability efforts. These tools help companies pinpoint inefficiencies, reduce waste, and optimize resource usage.</p><h3 dir="ltr"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 832px;"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://images.wevolver.com/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJ3ZXZvbHZlci1wcm9qZWN0LWltYWdlcyIsImtleSI6ImZyb2FsYS8xNzMyMjA5Njg0NzkxLUhleGFnb25NSVJRMjAxOFBvZDgwMHg0MjhEZXNpZ25FbmdpbmVlcmluZ0ljb24oMSkuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjo5NTAsImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn19fQ==" style="width: 100%px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-inner">Image: Through digital simulation, manufacturers can optimize designs before production begins.
