NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI, USA, Mar 23, 2026 – Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence today announced the launch of APOLLO, an AI-driven platform designed to transform how manufacturers manage their metrology assets. APOLLO provides real-time predictive condition monitoring for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) and machine tools, empowering quality and maintenance teams to maximize uptime, measurement reliability, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
APOLLO moves manufacturing operations from reactive repairs to predictive maintenance. By leveraging advanced AI analytics, the platform monitors machine behavior, environmental conditions, and operational status to detect anomalies. It identifies patterns indicating potential defects or failures up to 90 days in advance, enabling teams to address issues during planned downtime rather than suffering unexpected production stoppages. This foresight enables teams to keep critical measurement equipment available and accurate when production demands are highest.
As manufacturers face skilled labor shortages and rising production complexity, predictive visibility into metrology performance is critical to maintaining quality and throughput. APOLLO is built to meet these demands and is designed for seamless integration into diverse manufacturing environments. Compatible with both Hexagon and third-party devices, the platform provides a unified dashboard for fleet-wide asset health visibility, supporting cloud deployment for rapid scalability or on-premises installation to meet strict data sovereignty and cybersecurity requirements.
“Manufacturers can’t afford unexpected metrology downtime,” said Gary Peacock, Vice President Product Technology Software at Hexagon.” APOLLO brings automated intelligence to asset monitoring, enabling teams to detect issues early, plan maintenance proactively, and protect both measurement accuracy and production schedule.”
APOLLO replaces manual logs and undocumented institutional knowledge with data-driven insights. By identifying underperforming assets and optimizing maintenance cycles based on actual usage and environmental conditions, the platform helps stabilize measurement performance, reduce drift, and increase throughput without compromising quality standards.
