You make a long-term decision when choosing an automation platform and you expect it to be supported for its entire life cycle. You need to be able to preserve your system entirely and to preserve your operators’ intellectual investments over time. You need to make sure your system is always up to the latest standards. For all these reasons, we design our technology with your future in mind.
For more than 40 years, we have evolved our control system families, ensuring that each new generation enhances its predecessors in accordance with its industry-unique life cycle policy of ‘Evolution without obsolescence.’ ABB’s automation systems are taken care of beyond their lifetime with progressive evolution paths to protect and enhance your investments in both the control system hardware and your people’s skills.
