Hexagon & Octo
ENABLING AN AUTONOMOUS FUTURE
For the past 10 years, we at OCTO have partnered with Hexagon, a global leader in sensors, software, and autonomous, connected eco-systems, to drive innovation. Together we open new markets, design and develop new products, support new business initiatives, and enhance the Hexagon experience.
Why would a $4B+ global company like Hexagon need a nimble agency like OCTO?
We understand that complex businesses need systems thinkers. This is our specialty. Our multidisciplinary experts’ team takes a well-crafted systems approach to problem-solving that establishes a solid working foundation. We bring to the table an understanding of the complexities of their market, their business, their clients and products, all of the puzzle pieces, which allows us to engage with Hexagon in a meaningful and efficient way.
We also believe in strong, long-term partnerships that embrace trust and collaboration, thus fostering open and honest discussions.
As a trusted partner, Hexagon has engaged OCTO in well over 100 projects, ranging from early-stage development, design sprints and workshops, hyper-targeted research studies, future visualization exercises, quick iterative product concept, and development—to longer in-depth product development projects with extensive research, development cycles, and technical complexities.

DELIVERING ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS
The heart of Hexagon’s mission and OCTO’s value lies in unlocking key insights that create meaningful results. By focusing on this collective effort with laser precision, OCTO helps Hexagon boost productivity, drive quality, increase revenue, and streamline processes.
OCTO’s research team revealed opportunities for a workflow with physical and digital human interface improvements in a recent global study across multiple facilities. These insights supported Hexagon’s initiative to drive autonomy in the manufacturing environment for quality management. This resulted in 4 new product launches – Digital Control Center (dCC), Tempo, Pulse, and SFx.
DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Technology today is changing with such speed that deeply embedded processes cannot feasibly be replaced at the same rate. It requires thinking about the entirety of the manufacturing process within the manufacturing environment to identify key opportunities for today, tomorrow, and the next decade.
Building a sustainable system is advanced by working with a partner like OCTO that understands how to integrate current technologies within existing legacy platforms. We use today’s technologies, all the while allowing for future evolution. We have created the physical and digital solutions to support Hexagon’s drive toward a flexible, autonomous, connected eco-system.
OCTO’s extensive team works closely together to ensure that design and function deliver sophisticated results. We are a powerfully creative group of researchers, industrial designers, software designers, developers, engineers, UX/UI designers & developers, and branding experts.
Hexagon’s integrated technology solutions require our proven systems approach to understand the eco-system’s complexity, allowing mitigation of problems down the line. By embracing the need for a comprehensive understanding of how and why all the interconnected components work together, we can deliver efficient, sustainable solutions.
