Stop changing the page
[edit]Can this page not change so much, most of these edits are unnecessary or just ridiculous. Republic of Selmaria (talk) 00:08, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
COI tag (June 2022)
[edit]Edits in June 2021 by IP address 129.135.1.196, which resolves to Intergraph Corporation, a subsidiary of Hexagon AB. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 18:54, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Tag rmvl
[edit]Removed the COI tag. I looked into the IP (129.135.1.196) and found their changes to this page to be negligible (infobox stats from 2020 that have already been updated, a Forbes article that was randomly removed, and a strange focus on one of many shareholders in the infobox). To repair that minor damage, I put the Forbes link back, and moved the shareholder out of the infobox into history and added a ref for it. 69.126.148.8 (talk) 19:02, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- Side note: it appears EnPassant was banned as a sock in 2023, making it hard for me to ask them directly about their opinions. 69.126.148.8 (talk) 19:02, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Split recommendation
[edit]Instead of a split, I'm tempted to add an 'overly detailed' tag and argue for the list to be cut to notable examples only. Main reason I didn't is Hexagon is apparently very large with a hunger for acquisitions, so like Intel or IBM, I imagine a list/table of subsidiaries might ultimately be easier for readers to navigate than a wall of text. Thoughts? 69.126.148.8 (talk) 23:47, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose split per SIZESPLIT, current main body word count is 617. No valid arguments for culling the acquisitions list, article is readable as is. Sam Sailor 13:59, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
Ref tags
[edit]After addition of refs, 'one source' and 'primary sources' tag now stale. Still some press releases on the page, but mostly for largely unimportant items in the list that I think should be split off anyways. 69.126.148.8 (talk) 16:53, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi friends,
I have disclosed my WP:COI on my talk page and would like to request your assistance. These proposed updates refresh outdated financial metrics and neutrally summarize Hexagon's core product scope and major corporate milestones using encyclopedic language.
1. Update: With around 24,000 employees, Hexagon's revenue in 2023 was US$5.5 billion, while assets were $18.1 billion.
- Proposed update: As of 2026, Hexagon operates in more than 50 countries with approximately 24,000 employees. For fiscal year 2025, the company reported net sales of approximately 3.7 billion EUR and total assets of 17.1 billion.[1]
- Rationale: Updates key infobox metrics and operational figures to reflect the most recent verified reporting per WP:DATED and WP:V.
- Placement: Lead section, last paragraph
2. Add: Hexagon's product portfolio includes spatial intelligence software, 3D environments, and digital twins used to simulate physical objects and systems.[2]
- Placement: Products and services, last sentence
- Rationale: Provides a neutral overview of the company's core technological focus to improve article completeness per WP:NPOV and WP:WEIGHT.
3. Add: In 2025, Hexagon established a Robotics division, launching AEON, an industrial humanoid robot for manufacturing and logistics applications.[3]
- Placement: Products and services (following the digital twin / software addition)
- Rationale: Documents a notable corporate expansion and product launch neutrally, meeting the requirements of WP:V and WP:NPOV.
4. Add: Hexagon’s AEON platform incorporates NVIDIA spatial computing and AI hardware for onboard navigation, using simulation environments to train digital twins for industrial applications.[4][5]
- Placement: Following the robotics division update.
- Rationale: Highlights a major technological platform feature in straightforward, encyclopedic tone without marketing buzzwords, complying with WP:NOTPROMO and WP:NPOV.
