As vivo expands production across Asia, ABB Electrification enhances resilience by providing a safe, efficient, and reliable power supply that supports the 24/7 production. ABB‘s Electrification is assisting electronics manufacturers in broadening their operations in Asia, ensuring a robust and reliable power supply for crucial operations.
vivo, ranked as the world‘s fifth-largest smartphone brand, has an annual production capacity of nearly 200 million smart phones. With headquarters in China and a global network comprising of nine R&D sites and seven production facilities, ABB‘s solution will be implemented at six vivo manufacturing sites and data centers spanning China and India.
As electronics manufacturers continue to expand globally, ABB supports their growth by delivering comprehensive electrical products and solutions designed to improve resilience and reliability. With a focus on advanced electrification technologies, ABB helps drive continuous improvements in productivity, energy efficiency, and sustainability through intelligent controls and digital capabilities.
„Our advanced electrification technologies and solutions provide the intelligent controls and digital capabilities that drive continuous improvements in productivity, energy efficiency, and sustainability.“
ABB is collaborating with electrical engineering firm Renda Group on this significant three-year initiative. The hardware solution is built on ABB‘s MNS low-voltage switchgear with Emax 2 circuit breakers and intelligent controls. Advanced digital features, such as fault diagnostics and real-time analysis, will empower vivo to intelligently manage energy and streamline maintenance work.
Haijin Wu, General Manager of Renda Group, said: “Vivo’s core objective was to secure a safe, efficient, and reliable power supply to support the growth and resilience of its global operations. The energy distribution solution we developed with ABB provides reliability for vivo 24/7 operations, with digital capabilities that will ensure the system continues to deliver peak performance long into the future.”
ABB‘s MNS switchgear offers unparalleled benefits that align perfectly with vivo‘s needs. The modular and scalable design ensures easy adaptation to changing power requirements, enhancing operational flexibility. Additionally, the space-saving compact design of MNS switchgear optimizes valuable floor space in vivo‘s manufacturing sites. By supporting energy efficiency and sustainability goals, the MNS platform not only ensures reliable power supply but also contributes to vivo‘s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Along with market-leading innovation and expertise, partnering with ABB has also allowed vivo to benefit from centralized procurement, which is expected to reduce supply and service costs by as much as 30 percent over the three-year period.
