Top-class measurement technology
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence offers a comprehensive range of
products and services for all applications of industrial measurement
technology and this gives its customers complete control over their
manufacturing processes. GO! ensures maximum efficiency of production
systems through its rapid and flexible service.
Hexagon systems are used in the evaluation of manufacturing procedures, process qualification
and final inspections. This enables customers from industries such as automotive construction,
aviation and energy to resolve or minimise deficiencies through the assessment of each
individual manufacturing step and thus increase their production levels and efficiency. The
large range of services includes solutions for every industry and every type of application. The
product range covers macro (e.g. mountains or bridges), micro and nano-measurements. In
relation to service, Hexagon has placed its trust in the courier and express services of GO! for
the reliable delivery of highly sensitive replacement parts for over 10 years.

IT’S ALL
ABOUT
TIME
When the exception becomes the norm
Maintenance or repair work to measurement equipment which is typically installed centrally in
production lines needs to be scheduled in such a way as to avoid long stoppages to production.
In addition to maximum adherence to schedules, this also requires a high degree of flexibility
on the part of the service provider who supplies replacement parts or necessary equipment to
customers in such cases. “For this type of sensitive transportation, GO! Express & Logistics is
really the option for us. GO! fulfils our company principles in every respect. GO! offers 100%
quality, 100% punctuality and 0% damages,” says Ulrich Gras, head of logistics at Hexagon. GO!
has met these demands every day of the year for over 10 years, around 300 times per year, and
works according to collection and delivery times within timeframes that are adapted to
production times. Very early in the morning and very late in the evening. GO! courier drivers act
as partners and, with their high level of commitment, ensure that the deliveries reach their
destinations on time.
