Among the new ABB Ability innovations showcased in Houston are:
在休斯頓展出的ABB Ability創新方案包括:
• ABB Ability System 800xA – One of the solutions provided by ABB Ability builds on the market-leading automation platform System 800xA. Select I/O, a new addition to System 800xA, is a redundant, Ethernet-based, single-channel I/O system. It supports ABB’s next-generation project execution model, Intelligent Projects, which offers a range of efficiency improvements for automation projects. With Select I/O, customers can undertake major projects on a faster schedule with fewer cost overruns. It uses standardized cabinets that allow installers to digitally marshal signals instead of using labor-intensive marshalling panels. Loop checks can be done before the rest of the system is delivered, minimizing the impact of late changes and allowing for project tasks to be executed in parallel.
ABB Ability系統800xA——建立于市場領先的自動化平臺系統800xA之上的ABB Ability方案之一。系統800xA 新增的Select I/O是一個基于以太網的冗余單通道I/O系統。它支持ABB的下一代項目執行模型Intelligent Projects,為自動化項目提供一系列的效率改進。通過Select I/O,客戶可以更快地承接主要項目,同時減少成本超支。它使用標準化機柜,允許安裝人員以數字方式編組信號,而不是使用勞動密集型編組面板。循環檢查可以在系統的其余部分交付之前完成,使后期更改的影響最小化,并允許同時執行項目任務。
• ABB Ability Asset Health Center – Among the first ABB Ability solutions to be launched on Azure is ABB’s next-generation asset performance management solution, Asset Health Center 3.0. Available since January 2017, it uses predictive and prescriptive analytics and customized models to identify and prioritize emerging maintenance needs based on probability of failure and asset criticality.
ABB Ability資產健康中心——首個在Azure上推出的ABB Ability解決方案是ABB的下一代資產績效管理解決方案,資產健康中心3.0。它在2017年1月推出,使用預測性和規范性分析和定制模型,基于故障概率和資產重要性識別新出現的維護需求并確定其優先級。
• ABB Ability Collaborative Operations – This powerful solution, now being brought to scale across industries, helps customers collaborate more effectively. It allows experts to work together across organization boundaries, using the same data and analytics platforms. It focuses on such outcomes as improving productivity, reducing equipment failures, lowering the cost of asset maintenance and transforming overall business performance. This is done while maximizing security and protecting data, people and assets at every level of integration. The solution has been delivering sustainable, long-term results to early adopters.
ABB Ability協作運營——這一強大的解決方案現在可以跨行業應用,幫助客戶更有效地合作。它允許專家跨組織邊界,使用相同的數據和分析平臺一起工作。它專注于提高生產力,減少設備故障,降低資產維護成本和改變整體業務績效。與此同時,在每一集成層級,最大限度地提高安全性和保護數據、人員和資產。該解決方案為早期采用者提供了可持續的長期結果。
• ABB Ability Digital Substation – ABB’s digital substation provides customers in the utility sector with unmatched control and efficiency. The digital substation incorporates fiber optic current sensors and disconnecting circuit breakers to reduce maintenance requirements and the need for miles of conventional cabling. ABB Ability takes these advances several steps further by combining the latest electrical gear with digital sensors and cloud computing. The result is that grid operators can make decisions based on comprehensive, up-to-the-moment information, while predictive algorithms can improve maintenance practices and asset management.
