ABB Ability™ Genix Asset Performance Management (APM)

From condition monitoring & predictive maintenance to next generation asset performance management enhanced with ML

If you are looking to digitalize and future-proof asset performance management (APM) :

Start monitoring the health of your assets to prioritize maintenance based on data
Capture and codify experts' knowledge to increase outcomes from the predictive maintenance
Adopt an advanced, cross-functional APM program to continuously improve practices
Find opportunities for optimum investment planning

With Genix APM, you will gain a holistic view, tactical and strategic foresight across specific equipment types, process areas, plant and enterprise, tightening control over disparate assets, systems and workflows. This will empower various functions to collaborate and continuously optimize your overall performance because they will discover the previously hidden inter-dependencies.

Genix APM - Frequently Asked Questions

Can this work if DCS and assets are not from ABB?

Will the instrumentation asset information be taken via DCS?

What will happen to the condition monitoring solution from ABB that we installed earlier?

Which deployment options and cyber security measures are supported?

Does Genix APM comply with FMEA / FMECA ?

Why ABB?

Yes, it is possible. Genix APM is DCS agnostic. Though we have a better integration with ABB control systems (800xA, S+), any 3rd party DCS systems can be integrated into Genix APM using OPC UA or other southbound protocols.

Any Assets can be monitored through Genix APM.

Instrumentation assets don't need to be connected through the DCS system. Instrumentation assets can be
1) connected through Field Information Manager or
2) directly connected to IoT platform such as ABB Ability™ Genix.

To avoid loading the DCS system, it is recommended to only route instruments to DCS which are needed for plant DCS. The rest can be brought through the Edge.

Genix APM Predict is an evolution of ABB’s earlier plant-wide condition-monitoring solutions like Asset Vista and Asset Insights. Genix APM Predict is based on the extensive library of proven asset models and maintenance-oriented algorithms from Asset Vista, that have been successfully used in predictive maintenance programs across process industries. These powerful Asset Vista models for known failure modes will continue to be supported and further improved.

By upgrading Asset Vista application to Genix APM Predict, you'll get broader, vendor-agnostic connectivity options and better user experience (UX ) with more intuitive design. There are more extensive analytics libraries to make use of. Dashboard set-up and modifications become much easier to configure.

Genix APM applications support all the deployment variants needed: on premise, on ABB managed or customer manages cloud, on customer private cloud / data center. You own your data. We ensure defence in depth cyber security, data protection, reliability, privacy, intellectual property.

The Cyber Security Reference Architecture is an ABB-developed design standard for industrial systems and associated security controls. ABB engineering teams use the architecture during system deployments, and ABB service units use it to update and modernize existing customer networks to bring them in line with current cyber security standards and best practices.

ABB’s security measures in the Reference Architecture meet or exceed IEC 62443-3-3 security level 2 (SL2) as defined in foundational requirement section 5 (RE5). It also aligns with other common standards such as the NIST framework, ISO 27001 and NERC-CIP. Implementing the reference architecture does not guarantee passage of external certification audits; however, ABB can support compliance for specific security standards with additional recommendations.

Yes. All logics / algorithm outcomes are built based on the FMEA / FMECA principles.

Tight integration of business, operational, maintenance and engineering process - being the leader in automation of various processes, plant behaviors and data flows across all industries we know how to securely bring together the variety of current and legacy equipment, systems and diverse data sources across the plant and enterprise (not just a single portion of a plant)

Over 120 pre-built asset models (and growing), impactful use cases for every industry - Genix APM leverages ABB’s extensive library of proven asset models and maintenance-oriented algorithms that have been successfully used in predictive maintenance programs across process industries with earlier plant-wide asset management solutions like Asset Vista, Asset Insights, etc.

A track record of delivering value at scale, commitment to safety and sustainability - ABB has a rare combination of deep domain knowledge, data science skills and ingenuity acquired through years of supporting critical systems, learning and collaborating with various functions and specialized vendors. We master both small and large-scale value engineering, forming true partner relationships, providing regular updates and advanced services so that software users in any part of the world continue to reach their goals

Open and agnostic to the equipment data and other sources analyzed - with no bias, customers have a fair and objective view of asset performance and get a possibility to combine Genix APM with other digital solutions and services for operational excellence, process performance, safety and sustainability, supply chain optimization and cyber security
