Reliability Radio EP 332: The Smart Digital Reality, Peter Bynarowicz – Hexagon

ReliabilityRadio

Join Jonathan Guiney and Brendon Russ on Reliability Radio as they speak with Peter from Hexagon, a company focused on Asset Information Management (AIM). The discussion begins with a look at a fundamental challenge facing every industry: the "silver tsunami" and the loss of critical knowledge. Peter explains how Hexagon's solution bridges the siloed gap between engineering and maintenance by creating a "smart digital reality"—a digital twin of a facility.

This virtual map is created using drones, scanners, and cutting-edge technology, transforming old, paper-based drawings into an explorable, video-game-like environment. Peter outlines the immense benefits of this approach: it significantly improves technician safety, boosts efficiency by providing instant access to asset information, and helps attract and retain young talent who grew up in a digital world. The conversation concludes with a look to the future, where AI will become a standard feature, offering autonomous task suggestions before humans even have to ask.
