ABB’s modernization strategy is rooted in
“Innovation with Continuity”;
a phased approach that minimizes disruption while enabling continuous improvement. Instead of overhauling your entire system, ABB introduces new features and upgrades incrementally, aligned with your plant’s lifecycle and budget. Once on the latest supported version of ABB’s DCS, customers can take advantage of its
modular architecture and
built-in flexibility to modernize continuously—without waiting for major shutdowns.
ABB enables this through:
- ABB Adaptive Execution™, a digitally enabled methodology that combines early-stage collaboration, standardized workflows, and modular execution. This reduces cost, mitigates risk, and keeps projects on schedule.
- Conversion tools for both ABB and third-party systems, ensuring the IP is transferred into the most recent libraries.
- Sustainable reuse or retrofitting of existing infrastructure, whether it be field wiring, I/O modules, or cabinets.
- Global Capability Centers in Bangalore, Czech Republic, and Argentina, with dedicated teams specialized in DCS evolution and hardware upgrades, to support local delivery teams.
- Qualified channel partners with proven experience in ABB’s Control System modernization.
Each step in ABB’s stepwise modernization approach is designed to align with your plant’s life cycle planning and maintenance schedule, ensuring the modernization process is low-risk, customer-paced, and future-ready. You will be able to enjoy the benefits of digitalization and augmented operations, enabling them to face the changing scenarios with more resilience.
