ABB Ability™ Performance Optimization for control systems- 800xA

Over time, the performance of industrial control systems deteriorates due to system overload and other factors. This can adversely impact safety, asset availability and response time. However, issues causing this deterioration are often difficult to diagnose because of their random nature. If left unaddressed, these issues may lead lo system failure and unscheduled downtime.

ABB Ability™ Performance Optimization for control systems- 800xA detects performance irregularities using data collected during scheduled and on-demand analyses for comparison against best practices and standards.

We can engage with you at different levels based on your needs:

1. Assess: We collect process data and benchmark existing performance of your control system to identify issues that reduce control performance.
2. Monitor:  We continuously collect and analyze data to produce information on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Problem areas are isolated and disturbance sources, such as dead time, inverse response and outliers, are identified. This analysis allows tracking and development of accurate trend performance histories so that better decisions can be made so that systems perform better with higher availability.
3. Collaborate: Data is continuously collected and analyzed remotely at our Collaborative Operations Centers by ABB experts. Customers and ABB experts work together to identify and address issues, which leads to faster resolution of problems and continuous process improvement.

Engage with ABB today to improve the availability and reliability of your control systems.
