Hexagon AB

Thank you to Henning Eklund and Svenska Dagbladet for publishing this article and allowing me time to discuss the future of AI, automation and autonomous vehicles. I'm excited to share my optimism for the role our sensor and software technologies play in the future by transforming data to shape reality responsibly.   We know that the world is fast-paced, and automation will change everything. We're facing a future where robotics will enable data collection on a whole new scale, and AI will help us turn that data into insights and ideas to benefit people, processes and the planet.    I hope you'll read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/duBYCVp9 [article in Swedish] #HexagonAB #FutureofAI #Automation #autonomousvehicles

Today, at our Annual General Meeting, we welcomed our two new members to Hexagon AB's Board of Directors. This is an exciting day for our Group as we look to the future with continued optimism for the opportunities our technology innovations bring to the market. Annika Falkengren brings extensive international financial industry experience, having served as Managing Partner at Lombard Odier and previously as President and CEO of SEB. Ralph Haupter, President of Microsoft EMEA, joins our board with 25+ years of global software expertise, including senior leadership at Microsoft and IBM.  I am confident that Annika and Ralph will bring unique and invaluable additional perspectives to our board, enhancing our already exceptional guidance and leadership provided by the existing leadership team. Their wealth of experience will undoubtedly contribute to our continued success. As a global CEO, I am incredibly optimistic about our company's future. We are poised to capitalise on new opportunities, drive innovation, and deliver exceptional value to our customers and communities. Last week, we shared the positive news of our Q1 2024 performance results. I am proud to announce that Hexagon achieved 3% organic revenue growth and strong financial indicators, including all-time high margins, gross margins, and recurring revenue. These results are a testament to our collective efforts and commitment to excellence. These are exciting times for Hexagon. I'm confident our team and dedicated focus on operational execution and innovation will ensure we continue to follow the positive, upward trajectory for growth.

Automating manufacturing processes can help improve both staff productivity and talent challenges. From a global survey of over 500 manufacturing leaders, Hexagon’s latest Advanced Manufacturing Report reveals that 58% of leaders report increased staff productivity and 39% address talent shortages after highly or fully automating at least two phases of their manufacturing processes. Manufacturers globally are looking to advanced automation technologies to boost productivity. The research revealed that 58% of Asian companies plan to invest in AI-powered, or generative, automation over the next three years compared to less than half of manufacturers in North America (45%) and EMEA (38%).
