## Adaptive Manufacturing and Automated Quality Control Solutions from Hexagon

Variable volumes and increasing product customization in manufacturing necessitate the integration of machining, measurement, and automation systems. In this context, Hexagon will introduce its new technologies for adaptive and quality-focused production processes at Hannover Messe 2026.

### Shifting Quality to Pre-Production

The European manufacturing sector is integrating quality into the very early stages of production through shorter production cycles and increased automation. Hexagon aims to ensure continuous quality through a data loop with systems that expand existing workflows rather than replacing existing infrastructure.

### Smart CAM Workflows with EDGECAM

The latest EDGECAM version offers full 3D simulation of CNC programs. This allows machining paths and operations to be tested in advance and presented to operators with live reports. Additionally, Hexagon Copilot facilitates command access with natural language, increasing operator efficiency.

### Automated Inspection Systems Near the Production Line

Hexagon accelerates robotic inspection processes with PRESTO Quality Stations. Thanks to the Leica Absolute Tracker ATS800 and wireless AGVs, measurements of large components are reduced to hours or days. This increases safety by reducing operators' exposure to hazardous environments.

### Industrial Human Robot AEON

AEON is equipped with sensor-based perception, AI-powered task control, and spatial intelligence for flexible jobs. It is intended for use in facilities facing labor shortages and requiring flexible automation.

### CMM and Software Solutions that Simplify Measurement Data

The new MAESTRO coordinate measuring machine and updated PC-DMIS software automate measurement routines and provide standardization in reporting. Through data integration, the quality control loop becomes closed, digital, and scalable.

All these developments from Hexagon support the establishment of quality as a continuous, data-driven function through the integration of production, inspection, and automation processes.
