ABB is introducing nickel-zinc (NiZn) batteries to its range of power protection products for data centers, adding ZincFive as supply partner for its uninterruptible power supply (UPS) solutions. The addition of NiZn battery chemistry offers mission-critical data centers a resilient, efficient and sustainable energy storage alternative. Sébastien Surply, Head of Power Protection, ABB

These power quality issues were a big challenge for the Sir Francis Crick Institute, the largest biomedical laboratory in Europe. The 1,250 scientists at “the Crick” perform cutting-edge research into cancer, neuroscience, physiology, ageing and homeostasis – finding new ways to treat, diagnose and prevent human disease. The laboratory was opened in 2016 to provide the best working environment for

The electrification of bus services is advancing rapidly across Europe. The European Commission is accelerating this progress with a requirement for 40% of urban mobility to be low-emission by 2026. In Finland, the pace of change is rapid. In 2021, 70% of new buses were electric and the electrification process is naturally supported by the construction of charging infrastructure. Founded in 2020

Reliable power supplies are essential. Preventing power cuts ensures production lines can operate at peak productivity without complex and costly restarts: safety levels are maintained; resources conserved; product quality and process equipment protected; and valuable production time maximized. Lenzing is a leading global manufacturer of viscose staple fibers and sodium sulfate, essential

ABB Electrification Smart Power, an industry leader in digital energy management and smart electrical distribution, has adopted the ISA/IEC 62443-4-1 cyber security standard for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS). ABB provides the defense-in-depth security required for solutions used in mission-critical applications and industries. The same high levels of cyber security are standard

ABB has partnered with car dealership group AMAG of Switzerland to develop an innovative electric vehicle charging solution that compensates for grid supply weaknesses. AMAG is installing ABB Terra 360 charging stations and energy management system at 13 locations across Switzerland. At some locations, the charging stations will be supplied with power via an innovative MegaFlex DPA UPS system that

One of Asia’s largest and best-loved frozen food manufacturers, Tee Yih Jia (TYJ), is working with ABB to digitalize its energy management. The company’s popular Spring Home branded spring roll pastry, roti paratha, dim sum, samosa, and other Asian specialties sell to consumers around the world. The Singapore-based company credits its early adoption of automation in the 1970s for its rise from a

ABB is delivering on its commitment to transparency and sustainability across its complete value chain. At ABB Electrification Smart Power, a key supplier of technologies for electrification and energy transition, 35% of global sales are now for products covered by both an independent Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and the company’s EcoSolutionsTM information label and QR code.

As energy evolves to become more decentralized and sustainable, the need for reliable real-time data from across the grid is increasing. Digitalization of electricity grids has so far been limited to larger grid stations, but ABB is now working with utilities to help manage the energy transformation process with intelligent, scalable solutions for substations. With more households switching gas

ABB Frosinone in Italy is the first ABB facility worldwide to achieve platinum rating for zero waste to landfill according to the UL2799A Environmental Claim Validation Procedure for Zero Waste Classifications. To achieve the platinum rating, 100% of the Frosinone site’s waste is diverted from landfill. Achieving zero waste to landfill is central to ABB’s work to preserve resources and promote
