  • On-demand analysis before or after maintenance and shutdowns
  • Visualization and proactive analysis of system Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
  • On-site or remote access, powered by ABB ServicePort, for customer and ABB support personnel
  • Twice-a-year performance analysis by ABB experts identifies issues, finds trends and recommends performance improvements
  • Configurable alerts (via email, SMS) are supplied when KPIs are outside site-specific thresholds

Benefits

  • Increases control system performance, availability and reliability by ensuring complex system setup configuration parameters are correct for optimal performance
  • Minimizes the risk of system upsets through early detection of potential problems
  • Decreases the time and cost spent pinpointing system problems
  • Ensures on-going maintenance, expansions and application changes do not negatively affect the system
  • Reduces response time and travel expenses by providing remote access to ABB experts for troubleshooting

Performance Optimization for control systems- 800xA follows an advanced service, three-step methodology—Diagnose, Implement and Sustain—to help ensure the control system safety and security.

Step 1: Diagnose

Current control system operation is compared to optimized standards to establish expected capabilities. Performance Optimization for control systems- 800xA uses comprehensive data mining techniques, proven performance indicators and standard service modules to access and analyze system performance.

Step 2: Implement

Based on a thorough analysis, an implementation plan is developed by ABB and the customer through a collaborative review. After the plan has been agreed, improvements can be delivered incrementally or all at once. Phased implementation ensures that process and equipment changes can be made and maintained with steady progress toward performance goals.

Step 3: Sustain

Performance Optimization for control systems- 800xA provides 24/7 monitoring capabilities to sustain benefits achieved after recommended changes are made to help to ensure system performance remains at peak levels. Data collection and continuous or periodic monitoring help to develop operational trends to allow early detection of anomalies and proactive service delivery.

Sustaining Improvement

Available as a subscription service, Performance Optimization for control systems- 800xA offers substantial financial value by providing access to ABB experts without losing time or requiring travel costs to get service experts to site.
