ABB Ability for plants looking to provide better management of computation and data available from multiple systems
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have used ABB Ability in Control System (System 800xA). The objective was to make complex computing when data is in the cloud. Ability Solution provided the required computation and presented it to the right personnel to take the right decision. This has optimized the process very well. We have 25 800xA Controllers, and getting data from all the controller on a single platform was a difficult task. ABB Ability Solution Suite has performed this job very well. The data is available to the company at any place in the plant, as well as to the management sitting in the Delhi head office.
Pros
- Computation of data.
- Presentation to right person.
- Ability to perform critical task and sending to users.
- Multiple control system connectivity.
Cons
- May be for smaller PLCs this can't be implemented.
- Cost may an area ABB can look in to.
- Improvement in GUI
Likelihood to Recommend
Of course this is the one of the best solution available in the market at present. When you have Multiple system in a plant then you need a powerful tool for Computation which Ability does it smoothly.
