ABB Ability™ LIMS - Laboratory Information Management System

An integrated solution to visualize the relationship between raw material, process conditions and product quality across enterprise

Laboratories supporting industrial plants rely on ABB Ability™ LIMS to provide the foundation for direct process and quality control, for day-to-day management decisions and for the long term continuous improvement plans. It is fully integrated with enterprise-wide process and production intelligence, downtime management and maintenance support - part of the ABB Ability™ Knowledge Manager platform. Standard and managed workflows can be shared across sites, facilitating collaboration and reducing training effort.
