Hexagon to acquire Guidance Marine, strengthening maritime positioning portfolio. STOCKHOLM, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Hexagon today announced an agreement to acquire Guidance Marine, a UK-based company focused on sensors that measure a vessel's position relative to nearby structures, such as offshore platforms, wind turbines, quaysides and other vessels, enabling ships to hold station and manoeuvre safely within metres of fixed and floating assets. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Leicester, United Kingdom, Guidance Marine serves customers in more than 40 countries. Its radar, laser, vision and microwave-based sensing solutions are used in offshore energy, marine construction, port and harbour operations and naval applications, and are integrated with all major Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems, the automated controls that hold a vessel on station without anchoring. Guidance Marine's technologies are highly complementary to Hexagon's existing marine capabilities. Hexagon's GNSS, positioning correction services, anti-jamming and assured positioning solutions establish a vessel's absolute position, while Guidance Marine's sensors determine its position relative to the structures and assets around it. Bringing the two together strengthens Hexagon's ability to serve a vessel's full positioning requirement from a single, integrated portfolio, and deepens its relationships with DP system suppliers and vessel operators. The transaction also broadens Hexagon's exposure to offshore wind, marine construction and port automation, where tighter tolerances and increasing levels of vessel autonomy are driving demand for precision station-keeping. Guidance Marine's installed base across more than 40 countries and its established OEM relationships accelerate Hexagon's access to these applications. "We're excited to welcome the team at Guidance Marine to Hexagon. Their capabilities will expand the range of positioning capabilities available across our marine business," said Gordon Dale, President, Autonomous Solutions Business Area, Hexagon. "Guidance Marine brings proven expertise in relative positioning, which complements Hexagon's existing navigation and positioning solutions for the fast-growing maritime market." Completion is expected by the end of 2026, at which point Guidance Marine will become part of Hexagon's NovAtel Positioning Division within the Autonomous Solutions Business Area. Guidance Marine generated revenues of approximately €22 million in the financial year ended 31 December 2025, with an operating margin above Hexagon's average.

The railway-news InnoTrans 2026 magazine is here! Josephine Cordero Sapién Published: 25 Aug 2026 InnoTrans returns to Berlin from 22 to 25 September 2026 and this year the show marks its 30th anniversary: it is the 15th edition of the event since it first opened in October 1996. That milestone runs through much of this issue, in which we are featuring many of the industry supply chain exhibiting at the event. imc Test & Measurement sets out its long-running relationship with TÜV SÜD Rail, and how a co-development project solved a packaging problem that had been causing costly downtime during wheelset homologation testing. Hexagon writes about its partnership with Track Forward on predictive wheelset maintenance. Hexagon's CALIPRI system takes non-contact, rapid wheelset measurements in operation; that data feeds into Track Forward's WheelSense analytics platform, which places individual measurements in operational context to flag wear development early and support forward-looking maintenance planning rather than reactive inspection. The two companies are exhibiting the joint solution together at InnoTrans, Hall 23, Stand 530. voestalpine Railway Systems writes about track and special trackwork at system level rather than component level. Gradall TrackStar looks at the shrinking maintenance window facing track teams and its case for a single-machine approach to track access. In Rolling Stock, Grueber marks nearly 200 years in spring manufacturing and plans to unveil its Steel Spring Generation 4.0 technology alongside iSpring, a digital measurement and monitoring system for in-service springs, at the show. HANNING & KAHL, family-owned since 1898, will be in Hall 27, Stand 610, debuting its new BrakeMaster braking system and a new filter flushing system for hydraulic brakes. If you are attending the show, you can find all of our suppliers attending this year's InnoTrans in the Supplier Spotlight. As always, thank you for reading.

Hexagon technology appears in British series about agriculture and reinforces the advance of automation in the field. GNSS antenna used in precision agriculture operation appears in an episode of the fifth season of "Clarkson's Farm" Pulse Brand - São Paulo 20/08/2026 11:36 Updated 2 hours ago The company's satellite positioning equipment was captured in episodes of a streaming program that shows autonomous agricultural operations in the Netherlands. The fifth season of the series "Clarkson's Farm" recorded GNSS antennas manufactured by Hexagon during recordings made in the Netherlands. The SMART2 and SMART7 models appear attached to machines that perform planting and management tasks without direct human intervention on the property of Dutch producer Jacob van den Borne. Van den Borne received a visit from presenter Jeremy Clarkson and manager Kaleb Cooper to demonstrate how productivity variations between neighboring plots motivated investments in soil mapping technologies. The solution found combines positioning receivers with centimeter-level accuracy, embedded sensors, and artificial intelligence systems that process georeferenced information to guide each operation in the field. Hexagon develops autopilot systems, autonomous control, and data-based management platforms that allow tractors, sprayers, and harvesters to work at night or under adverse weather conditions. This set of tools reduces application overlap and rework, contributing to lower consumption of inputs in crops. During the trip, the British also visited the LAMMA fair, where they learned about the AgXeed autonomous machine. The sequence of visits illustrates the advance of automation in the European agricultural sector, with technologies that connect the physical world to the digital to increase efficiency and sustainability. Impressed by the demonstration of a drone operating independently, Kaleb Cooper summed up the experience: "That man was a real farmer." content of the advertiser's responsibility
