ABB's predictive maintenance solution

The new digital solution keeps track of the health of ABB measurement devices. Performing real-time data analysis, the ABB Ability Condition Monitoring for measurement devices identifies problems fast, drawing attention to significant or undesirable changes in device conditions. 

Regular health check reports provide users with recommendations based on health status, allowing on-site personnel to leverage their own expertise and enabling remote assistance from ABB when required.

Predictive maintenance reduces customers’ potential safety risks and helps them avoid fines. It also lowers operating and maintenance costs due to less emergency maintenance and fewer unplanned outages. When carried out through Condition Monitoring it ensures the highest level of availability and reliability of equipment, reducing repairs and preventing downtime.

Furthermore, Condition Monitoring for measurement devices allows the customer to move to a planned upgrade cycle for assets, resulting in product lifecycle extension and an increase in return on investment. The digital solution also provides a streamlined process with one supplier responsible for all equipment management and maintenance. It can be used together with ABB Ability Remote Assistance for measurement devices and Dynamic QR code assistance for analyzers or as a stand-alone solution.

The new digital solution is part of the ABB Advanced Services offering for Measurement & Analytics which is dedicated to enabling improved utilization and performance of automation equipment, processes, and personnel. Other services include ABB Ability Verification for measurement devices, and My Measurement Assistant. ABB Ability Verification for measurement devices is an extensible application that connects with field devices over their applicable protocols to provide in-situ verification.  My Measurement Assistant is a web application that offers commissioning and troubleshooting checklists as well as maintenance video tutorials.
