Hexagon AB, a leading global provider of information technologies that drive productivity and quality across geospatial and industrial enterprise applications, announced an agreement to acquire MSC Software, a leading provider of computer-aided engineering (CAE) solutions, including simulation software for virtual product and manufacturing process development.<\/p>\n
MSC\u2019s simulation analysis capabilities empower customers to optimise design for production, ensuring downstream productivity, product quality and durability. The acquisition strengthens Hexagon\u2019s ability to connect the traditionally separate stages of design and production \u2013 integrating real-world data generated on the production floor with simulation data to further improve a customer\u2019s ability to reveal and correct design limitations and production problems prior to manufacturing.<\/p>\n
\u201cMSC represents a game changer in our mission to deliver actionable manufacturing intelligence, taking us another step closer to realizing our smart connected factory vision in discrete manufacturing industries such as automotive and aerospace,\u201d said Hexagon President and CEO Ola Roll\u00e9n. \u201cWe can now leverage the data our MI division is generating to improve design choices and processes upstream in the workflow. The acquisition will also open up new markets and touchpoints for MSC via our PPM division.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
