ABB Remote Monitoring and Operations Room (ARMOR)
ABB supports multiple strategies for remote work, from one-way remote diagnostics, to remote engineering and commissioning
Our solution for fast remote support of demanding oil and gas operations is the ABB Remote Monitoring and Operations Rooms (ARMOR™), which provides remote access to on-site automation systems. This service enables ABB to actively participate in ongoing system monitoring and process optimization. The service facilitates diagnostic data retrieval, corrective actions, remote engineering commissioning and advanced services such as active tuning and optimization, all within a safe and secure environment. The service uses the same permissions, access control and work practices as on the site itself.
Typical benefits from remote operations can be found both during commissioning and in the operation phase, and include:
- Key operations, application programming / maintenance, tuning, information system programming / maintenance and server/client maintenance
- Easy access and mobilization of ABB specialists
- Reduced production loss due to less mobilization time (one shutdown can quickly cost $10 million or more)
- Significantly reduced travel costs and time
- Higher efficiency during commissioning (ramp-up on the spot)
