Jay Schwartz with Hexagon ALI

Scott MacKenzie — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Here are the key points from Jay's conversation on Industrial Talk:

Digital Projects is a software platform that digitizes the entire lifecycle of a project, from planning to handover.
The platform uses the latest cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative pre-trained transformer models, to automate many of the tasks involved in a project, such as clash management, data collisions, and issue management.
This can lead to significant reductions in project schedules, costs, and risks.
The platform is also able to handle legacy documents and information, making it a valuable tool for brownfield projects.
Digital Projects can help to reduce project schedules by up to 25-30%.
The platform can automate many of the tasks involved in a project, freeing up engineers to focus on more strategic work.
Digital Projects is able to handle legacy documents and information, making it a valuable tool for brownfield projects.
The platform is designed to be integrated with other systems, such as ERP and PLM systems.
Digital Projects is being used by a number of leading engineering firms, including Jacobs, Fluor, and Bechtel.
The platform is still under development, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way that projects are managed.
Hexagon is developing a new technology called Smart Digital Reality (SDR) that will help to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of engineering projects.
SDR will do this by digitizing all of the information related to a project, including 2D and 3D drawings, vendor information, and procedures.
This information will be stored in a central repository where it can be easily accessed and shared by all project stakeholders.
SDR will also automate many of the tasks involved in engineering projects, such as clash detection and issue management.
This will free up engineers to focus on more strategic work and help to reduce the time and cost of projects.

Here are some key points from the conversation:

SDR is a new technology that is still under development.
However, Hexagon is already working with some of the world's largest engineering companies to test and refine the technology.
SDR has the potential to revolutionize the way that engineering projects are managed.
It could help to reduce the time and cost of projects, improve accuracy, and increase collaboration.
SDR can be used for both greenfield and brownfield projects.
It can also be used to improve the efficiency of turnarounds and other maintenance activities.
SDR is compatible with a wide range of existing engineering software systems.Hexagon is committed to making SDR as easy to use as possible.

Overall, Digital Projects is a powerful platform that can help to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and profitability of projects. This technology has the potential to make a significant impact on the engineering industry, and it is worth watching as it continues to develop.

The program provides startups with access to Hexagon's resources, including its technology, expertise, and customer base.
The program also helps startups to hone their pitches and develop their business plans.
The Sixth Sense program has been running for two years, and it has helped several startups to achieve success.

Here are some of the key points from the conversation:

Milan Kocic believes that startups are often the source of breakthrough innovation.
He believes that Hexagon can benefit from working with startups by learning from their innovative ideas and by gaining access to their technology.
He believes that the Sixth Sense program is a mutually beneficial relationship that helps both Hexagon and the startups involved.
He said that the Sixth Sense program has been a learning experience for Hexagon, but that the outcomes have been positive.

Overall, the conversation between Milan Kocic and Scott MacKenzie highlights the importance of collaboration between large companies and startups. It also highlights the potential benefits of the Sixth Sense program for both Hexagon and the startups involved.

Here are some additional details from the conversation:

The Sixth Sense program is open to startups in the advanced manufacturing space that have a product or service that is relevant to Hexagon's business.
The program is free to participate in, and it typically lasts for six months.
During the program, startups have the opportunity to meet with Hexagon executives, engineers, and customers.
They also have the opportunity to use Hexagon's technology and resources.
The program culminates in a demo day where startups can pitch their ideas to a panel of investors and industry experts.

If you are a startup in the advanced manufacturing space, I encourage you to learn more about the Sixth Sense program. You can find more information on the Hexagon website.
