South32South32 Adopts Hexagon for Plant and Field Operations
South32, a materials organization in Australia, uses Hexagon PPM from Hexagon to support plant and field operations for operations engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for operations visibility |
| Capability | Plant and field operations stays visible to adjacent teams through Hexagon PPM |
| Capability | Operations engineers work from the same Hexagon PPM record for operations visibility |
Story
Inside South32, plant and field operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in materials groups working out of Australia. Operations engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
South32 uses Hexagon PPM from Hexagon as the working layer for operations visibility. Hexagon provides digital reality and industrial software for measurement, design, and operations in manufacturing and geospatial work. The practical change is simple: plant and field operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What South32 gets from Hexagon is a durable place to run plant and field operations and a way for operations engineers to see the same operations visibility at the same time.
