ABB COLLABORATIVE OPERATIONS

 

In this new era of digitalization, close collaboration between producers and suppliers is important to reap the full benefits that big data, analytics and visualization offer. ABB provides this collaboration through ABB Ability™ Collaborative Operations Centers - a remote operations and maintenance structure that helps industrial producers harness the potential of digitalization.

Collaborative Operations allows ABB experts to provide insights through data analytics, thus making customer information actionable and meaningful while driving decision-making to optimize enterprise performance.

THE GAP BETWEEN DATA AND KNOWLEDGE

 

As soon as an abnormal process or equipment condition is detected by an ABB Collaborative Operations Center, the center staff arranges immediate on-site support. Field technicians at the customer’s facility may or may not have sufficient knowledge or expertise to fix the condition immediately. This could lead to production downtime, increased maintenance cost, and long-term negative impact on asset life and production.
