(Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence: North Kingstown, RI) -- Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division recently announced it has broken ground on the construction of a new expansion project on a 5-acre site in Novi, MI. Slated for completion in the Fall of 2019, the 88,000 sq. ft. building will house a technology showroom, a technical training center, and a 15,000 sq. ft. laboratory and calibration hub. The two-story office area will have glass walls and windows presenting an exceptional view of the nearly 11,000 sq. ft. Hexagon showroom and demonstration area from both levels. Expanding Hexagon’s presence in the Midwest, the Center of Excellence will serve as a cornerstone to support advanced manufacturing in the region. Hexagon will consolidate all its Manufacturing Intelligence businesses in the greater Detroit area into a central location, which includes MSC Software, Production Software (formerly Vero Software), Q-DAS, and its metrology solutions portfolio. Employees from the AutonomouStuff and Safety Critical brands of Hexagon’s Positioning Intelligence division will also work from the new site.
