Performance review

The ABB Performance Review program’s primary objective is to ensure the safe and reliable performance of your systems. We attain this by conducting thorough assessments of system performance under various operating conditions, rigorous testing of essential supervision functions, and the integration of operation-critical software updates.

Field services and on-site support

ABB field services encompass a diverse range of site activities, from the installation and maintenance to troubleshooting and optimization of your excitation systems.

Our highly experienced and certified field service engineers, linking directly to our Centers of Excellence, combine swift response, competence, and professionalism to guarantee professional startup, equipment adjustments, and maximum value in commissioning and troubleshooting. This integration of expertise and on-site support drives innovation and operational excellence.

Spare Parts Management & Parts Fingerprint

Original spare parts and components with guaranteed functionality – the key element of reducing the mean time to repair (MTTR). Spare parts availability can significantly reduce the downtime associated with excitation maintenance, forced outages, as well as electrical and mechanical failures. As a minimum for operational reliability, it is essential to have critical spare parts and components readily available.
