the challenge
Optimize system engineering and commissioning time for our customers and partners through virtual, AI-enabled platform.
The solution
What is the solution we are seeking?
System integration is a critical step in industrial automation, yet it remains one of the most complex and time-consuming phases for our partners and system integrators. Configuring, testing, and commissioning variable speed drives (VSDs) and PLCs often involve repetitive engineering tasks and manual interpretation of diverse technical documentation. This slows down deployment while increasing engineering risks and project costs.
- Enable efficient configuration of ABB variable speed drives and PLCs
- Enable smooth transitions from diverse automation programming environments to ABB systems
- Analyze and interpret technical documents, customer input, data sheets, and public sources to automate key engineering steps
- Ensure thorough virtual testing before deployment
- Support maintenance / patching of the solution through the complete lifecycle
Customer impact
What is the impact of the solution for the market/customers?
The ideal solution will enable fast and easy configuration, integration and commissioning of ABB drives and PLCs into industrial systems; reduce time to market, minimize engineering errors, improve productivity, and optimize project costs. Eventually, it will help customers build safe and higher-performing automation solutions, while simplifying the transition to ABB technology.
