The challenge

Commissioning and optimizing electrical motor + drive systems can be complex and error-prone. Incorrect parameterization, lack of application-specific insights, and limited visualization tools often lead to suboptimal performance, energy inefficiencies, and reliability issues. ABB provides a rich set of digital tools and data interfaces—and we want your creativity to turn these into powerful, user-friendly solutions.

The solution

What is the solution we are seeking?

 

An application that extends the functionality of ABB motors and drives by leveraging one or more elements of ABB’s digital ecosystem—such as Crealizer™, motor database API, Virtual DrivePlus , OPC-UA, or EGW-02.

Deliver tangible improvements in efficiency, performance, reliability, commissioning, troubleshooting, or energy optimization during real-world operations. Solutions can range from advanced analytics and visualization to automated tuning and predictive maintenance, offering clear value to industrial customers.
