Industrial plants need regular intervention to function effectively. With potential restrictions on workplace visitors and shortages of skilled service engineers, investment in digital service solutions are helping to alleviate the challenges in keeping plants running.
Digitalisation is transforming the way we run industrial processes and the opportunity to manage plants remotely is becoming all too appealing. How can it be achieved?
ABB Ability™ Verification allows measurement instruments to undergo on-site, in-situ condition monitoring. Where once tests were performed in front of the device twice a year, they are now automated, using cloud-hosted software, and can be performed hourly with results visible via a myABB business portal. Process owners can feel satisfied they meet safety, regulatory and quality requirements knowing instrumentation is operating as it should.
If maintenance is required, customers of ABB Measurement & Analytics can turn to ‘My Measurement Assistant’, a mobile app that offers downloadable tutorials, spare parts lists, troubleshooting checklists, required action lists and, in addition, provides direct contact with ABB.
More advanced solutions are based on augmented reality, which enables site personnel to “stand in the shoes” of service engineers miles away. ABB Ability™ Remote Insights provides live instruction and guidance, overlaid on live video. This collaboration not only leads to faster problem resolution, it also upskills onsite workers.
Our long-standing work in critical infrastructure sectors means our focus on cybersecurity is intense and uncompromising. We treat the issue extremely seriously and work with our customers to co-develop powerful security and privacy measures.
Some digital solutions can be applied immediately, at relatively modest cost; others should form part of a longer-term strategy. Now is the time to find out more about digital service solutions from ABB and how they can keep your business up and running:
