Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence launches APOLLO platform to enable predictive maintenance and improve metrology asset performance

(IN BRIEF) Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has launched APOLLO, an AI-driven platform designed to enhance the management of metrology assets by enabling predictive maintenance and real-time condition monitoring. The system analyzes machine behavior, environmental conditions, and operational data to detect anomalies and predict potential failures up to 90 days in advance, helping manufacturers avoid unexpected downtime and maintain consistent measurement accuracy. As the industry faces growing complexity and workforce challenges, APOLLO provides critical visibility and centralized control over equipment performance across both Hexagon and third-party devices. With flexible deployment options and a focus on data-driven insights, the platform supports improved uptime, optimized maintenance cycles, and higher overall equipment effectiveness, positioning it as a key tool for modern manufacturing environments.

(PRESS RELEASE) STOCKHOLM, 23-Mar-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has introduced APOLLO, a new artificial intelligence-powered platform developed to reshape how manufacturers oversee and maintain their metrology equipment. The solution delivers real-time predictive condition monitoring for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) and machine tools, enabling quality assurance and maintenance teams to improve uptime, ensure measurement precision, and enhance overall equipment effectiveness.

With APOLLO, manufacturers can shift away from traditional reactive maintenance practices toward a predictive approach. The platform uses advanced AI analytics to continuously assess machine performance, environmental factors, and operational conditions. By identifying irregularities and emerging patterns, it can anticipate potential equipment issues or failures up to 90 days in advance, allowing maintenance to be scheduled during planned downtime instead of responding to unexpected disruptions.

This proactive capability is particularly valuable as manufacturers navigate increasing production complexity and ongoing shortages of skilled labor. APOLLO provides critical visibility into the condition and performance of metrology assets, helping organizations maintain consistent quality and production throughput.

Designed for flexibility, APOLLO integrates seamlessly into a wide range of manufacturing environments. It supports both Hexagon equipment and third-party devices, offering a centralized dashboard that delivers comprehensive insights into asset health across entire fleets. The platform is available for cloud-based deployment to support scalability, as well as on-premises installations to meet stringent requirements around data security, sovereignty, and cybersecurity.

Gary Peacock, Vice President of Product Technology Software at Hexagon, highlighted the importance of minimizing unexpected downtime in metrology operations. He noted that APOLLO introduces intelligent automation to asset monitoring, allowing teams to detect issues early, plan maintenance more effectively, and safeguard both measurement accuracy and production timelines.

By replacing manual tracking methods and reliance on undocumented expertise with data-driven intelligence, APOLLO enables manufacturers to identify underperforming assets and optimize maintenance schedules based on real-world usage and environmental conditions. This approach supports more stable measurement performance, reduces variability, and improves production efficiency without compromising quality standards.
