ABB Ability™ Condition Monitoring for Powertrains

Advanced monitoring and analytics of the powertrain equipment for efficient, safe and reliable operations

Smart Maintenance

Technology description

ABB AbilityTM Condition Monitoring optimizes the performance and efficiency of rotating equipment and enables full transparency on key parameters for drives, motors, mounted bearings and pumps. The ability to gather and analyze data from drives’ inbuilt sensors and loggers together with that collected from ABB AbilityTM Smart Sensors fitted to motors, bearings and pumps can reveal information on the status and condition of your equipment, so that you can schedule service activities more effectively.

Key features

  • Detailed dashboards give full transparency so that you can take actions that lead to less downtime, extended equipment and increased profitability.
  • Ensuring that the right person has the right view to  key operational parameters of information at the right time brings:
    • Appropriate response to production challenges, minimizing operating costs and wastage of products
    • Detailed dashboards give full transparency so that you can take actions that lead to less downtime, extended equipment and increased profitability
    • Greater insight into various aspects of your process, thereby improving quality and reducing variations, errors and waste
    • Lower risk of production downtime and change of the maintenance from reactive to predictive.
