ABB, as the Headline Partner of TAB 2019, is contributing in several ways to help to make this years event as memorable as possible. During the Sympoisum days, ABB will be taking care of providing a comfortable area for architects to enjoy coffee and make new connections. For that ABB will be setting up a lounge at the The Tallinn Creative Hub where visitors, beside enjoying manmade coffee and snacks, could try the coffee made by ABB collarobative robot YuMi. Robots are now part of mankind daily life and becoming so even more: YuMi is there to show how a man and robot could work side-by-side.
ABB is very happy to work with architects who do big things around the globe.

TAB2019 will be opened with the Curatorial Exhibition at The Museum of Estonian Architecture, curated by Dr. Yael Reisner.

ABB has clearly expressed that they wish to be a competent partner of the community of architects. Regarding the fact that today the architectural solutions are expected to be environment and human-friendly, ABB is one of the few that could provide full portfolio for establishing up-to-date and modern buildings and premises. Today, good design does not mean only good appearance, but involves also the intuitive usability of the buildings, premises and the related equipment and ABB knows very well how to integrate these properties into a whole. With ABB architects can always find the most efficent solution for building.
Beside setting up the lounge and providing smart systems for the museum, ABB representatives are going to be talking about various topics at different TAB events. One of the ABB’s attending representative will be Dr. Kim Listmann, a highly respected manager for Automation and Grid Technologies at ABB´s Corporate Research Center in Ladenburg, Germany. His message during the panel discussion at the TAB Symposium will be focusing on „why and how beauty matters for technology“. Read more about it from here
