Hexagon Smart Digital Transformation (SDx)
HxGN SDx® is an Asset Lifecycle Information Management (ALIM) solution developed by Hexagon. SDx is excellent at managing already-structured data. however, its native capabilities are limited in terms of deep data extraction from legacy systems and documents from brownfield projects.
- SDx is Not Primarily Designed for Raw Data Extraction
- SDx expects structured metadata to map documents to objects properly.
- Handling unstructured legacy content needs a custom process — sometimes involving data mining specialists.
- SmartPlant Fusion was developed specifically to address the gap in bulk legacy data ingestion
- Fusion being a separate product introduces an additional layer of complexity, integration effort, and cost to the overall solution.
- Fusion is optimized for static legacy document capture, not ideal when the the documents are still Live.
SDx-X4D EcoSystem
X4D is a standalone solution for legacy data extraction, validation, and transformation, designed to accelerate digitalization initiatives. It can operate independently or be optionally integrated with Asset Lifecycle Information Management (ALIM) systems like Hexagon SDx® or AVEVA™ AIM.
- Extracting Tags and associated properties from legacy databases.
- Digitizing and extracting information from native drawings and scanned documents.
- Capturing key data from engineering datasheets and vendor documents.
- Supports database schemas imported from Hexagon SPF, SDx, CFIHOS, ISO 15926, and DEXPI
- Enables seamless and efficient integration of legacy and brownfield data into ALIM (SDx).
- Improves data quality, consistency, and accessibility across the enterprise.
