Third Party System Evolution Sales Support

ABB can help customers in transition and DCS generation shift to move to an open system (ABB's System 800xA) able to consolidate site DCS and PLC layer, step by step over time, in a safe and cost efficient process. Such a step-wise approach to modernize and connect a mix of DCS systems from different vendors to System 800xA then offers the basis for control room consolidation - a single point of integration with Enterprise Asset Management, production planning or other plant systems. This opens up new possibilities:

• integration of all business processes
• market leading cyber security solutions
• increased productivity solutions
• reduced total cost of ownership

In order to enable our customers to achieve DCS consolidation, we have extended ABB Heritage Evolution concept to third party DCS and PLC, such as Emerson, GE, Honeywell, Invensys, Rockwell (Allen Bradley), Siemens, Yokogawa and other _{(see technical solutions overview)}.
