Previous ABB Fingerprint assessment experience

UEGA had previously engaged ABB for three System 800xA Fingerprint Assessments annually, and now will have these assessments completed in a secure, remote-enabled fashion through the ServicePort.

With ABB Fingerprint reports, ABB helped UEGA identify and repair a domain controller issue that would have prevented the plant from generating electricity. As a result, in January, ABB helped UEGA evolve to updated technology.
