Ball Brings Simulation onto Hexagon
Ball, a materials organization in the United States, uses Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence from Hexagon to support virtual testing for analysts and design leads.
Value results
| Category | Value result |

| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because simulation has a clear owner |
| Risk and compliance | Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence is the governed place analysts and design leads use for virtual testing |
| Capability | New joiners can see how virtual testing actually runs |
Story
Inside Ball, virtual testing used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in materials groups working out of the United States. Analysts and design leads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Ball uses Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence from Hexagon as the working layer for simulation. Hexagon provides digital reality and industrial software for measurement, design, and operations in manufacturing and geospatial work. The practical change is simple: virtual testing has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Ball gets from Hexagon is a durable place to run virtual testing and a way for analysts and design leads to see the same simulation at the same time.
