Who is Hexagon Nexus suitable for?
The Hexagon Nexus platform is suitable for almost all systems. In our environment, however, the main focus is on connections to the Infor XA ERP-System. The target group is primarily small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We recommend Nexus above all to companies in manufacturing and production in the SME sector.
We have put together the following application examples and use cases to give you a better understanding of some of the services offered by Nexus:
A manufacturer offers a wide variety of configurations for its products, such as stand-alone modules or other options (colors, paints, finishes, etc.). These can be viewed online on a portal. B2B customers, for example, can log in there after making a purchase: Using the serial number, the status of the order can then be called up and viewed in detail. On the basis of Xalt, it was possible to implement this for the customer quickly.
Via a code (barcode, QR code, or similar) on the machine, it is possible to record the start and stop times in the event of malfunctions by having a smartphone or scanner scan the codes and thus record and pass on the times. In this way, downtimes can be documented and evaluated quickly, specifically and without major additional effort.
Connected workers: Transfer the data from your production to your ERP software in real time, e.g. via tablet. This gives you up-to-the-minute monitoring of your production processes.
„Overall Equipment Effectiveness“ Dashboards shortly OEE: You can measure the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and thus obtain a quick overview of the overall effectiveness of your production facilities.
Technology behind Nexus
The Hexagon Nexus platform works for you in the background and virtually provides the technology. This means that Nexus technology makes it possible to create an app within minutes. Of course, we can also develop a ready-made solution based on Nexus technology for you – depending on what your company needs in processes for manufacturing & production!
