Control Technology from the World's Leading Provider

ABB System 800xA is an integrated automation and process control system that goes far beyond the functionality of a classic DCS (Distributed Control System). It combines process control, electrical automation, safety systems, asset monitoring, engineering tools, and collaboration functions on a single platform. It is used across various industries, such as water, wastewater, power, oil & gas, chemicals, and manufacturing.

Brings together many disciplines

Control Technology for Hybrid Use as an Integrated Control System (DCS) and Supervisory Orchestration (SCADA)

The APROL process control system and the automation components of the B&R X20 Systemcontinuously meet new challenges: APROL is used across all sectors of the process, manufacturing, and hybrid industries. It is a versatile and flexible process control system and automation platform for controlling, monitoring, and optimizing industrial processes and plants. It is also deployed in water treatment infrastructures, manufacturing, and the energy sector. Plants automated with the APROL process control system are often classified as critical infrastructure (KRITIS).

Intelligent Condition Monitoring for Rotating Machinery

ABB Ability™ AssetInsight provides a powerful platform for monitoring and analyzing rotating assets such as pumps, motors, blowers, and compressors. The solution continuously collects condition data, detects anomalies at an early stage using advanced analytics, and supports maintenance teams in planning condition-based measures. Operators in the water and wastewater industry benefit from reduced downtime, plannable maintenance windows, and a significant increase in asset reliability – especially in critical pumping and aeration processes.

Transparency and Optimization Based on In-Depth Data Analytics

ABB Ability™ PlantInsight analyzes historical and real-time process data to identify inefficient operating conditions and uncover optimization potential. The AI-supported application enables data-driven decisions, improves process stability, reduces operator interventions, and increases energy efficiency. Particularly suitable for complex plants in the water and wastewater industry, where high reliability and transparency are critical.
