The ABB Ability Genix Industrial Analytics and AI Suite is a scalable advanced-analytics platform with pre-built applications and services. It collects, contextualizes and converts operational, engineering and information technology data into actionable insights that help industries improve operations, optimize asset management and streamline business processes safely and sustainably, according to ABB.
The new solution operates as a digital-data convergence point where streams of information from diverse sources across the plant and enterprise are put into context through a unified analytics model, according to its maker. Application of artificial intelligence on this data produces meaningful insights for prediction and optimization that improve business performance.
“We believe that the place to start a data-analytics journey in the process, energy and hybrid industries is by building on the existing digital technology—the automation that controls the production processes,” said Peter Terwiesch, president of ABB Industrial Automation. “We see a huge opportunity for our customers to use their data from operations better, by combining it with engineering and information technology data for multi-dimensional decision making. This new approach will help our customers make literally billions of better decisions.”
ABB Ability Genix is composed of a data-analytics platform and applications, supplemented by ABB services, that help customers decide which assets, processes and risk profiles can be improved, and assists customers in designing and applying those analytics. Featuring a library of applications, customers can subscribe to a variety of analytics on demand, as business needs dictate, speeding up the traditional process of requesting and scheduling support from suppliers.
“The ABB Ability Genix Suite brings unique value by unlocking the combined power of diverse data, domain knowledge, technology and AI,” said Rajesh Ramachandran, chief digital officer for ABB Industrial Automation. “ABB Ability Genix helps asset-intensive producers with complex processes to make timely and accurate decisions through deep analytics and optimization across the plant and enterprise. We have designed this modular and flexible suite so that customers at different stages in their digitalization journey can adopt ABB Ability Genix to accelerate business outcomes while protecting existing investments.”
