ABB learning centres are multi-functional collaboration facilities that offer users an insight into the future of automation as well as practical, hands-on demonstrations of today’s instrumentation, electrical and control technology.
The Aberdeen Learning Centre supports the development of the skills required now and into the future to operate, maintain and extend the life of automation systems.
The centre includes ergonomically designed interactive control room screens which aim to improve the safety and efficiency of operators by providing detailed and timely plant information. The centre also focuses on specific technologies such as instrumentation, electrical equipment including motors, drives, intelligent switchgear and advanced protection systems.
ABB's D3 collaboration desk, also in the learning centre, allows users to see real-time process data and key performance indicators, alongside other documents from various sources. Demonstrations running on the desk illustrate how the different functions in an operating company can collaborate to improve performance or manage process excursions or incidents. The desk shows how the wide range of ABB's offerings are brought together to help its customers improve their operating effectiveness.
The Baku Learning Centre supports the development of the skills required now and into the future to operate, maintain and extend the life of automation systems.
The centre includes ABB’s ergonomically designed interactive Extended Operator Workstation (EOW) control room console which aims to improve the safety and efficiency by providing operators detailed and timely plant information. The centre also focuses on specific technologies such as control, instrumentation, electrical and telecoms which form part of a completely integrated control system solution.
ABB's D3 Collaboration Desk, also in the learning centre, allows users to see real-time process data and key performance indicators, alongside the ability to browse and annotate documents from various sources. Demonstrations running on the desk illustrate how the different functions in an operating company can collaborate to improve performance or manage process deviations or incidents. Using both the EOW and the D3 Collaboration Desk we are able to illustrate how the wide range of ABB's offerings may be brought together to help its customers improve their operating effectiveness.
The St Neots Learning Centre focuses on safety, production efficiency, cost reduction and managing ageing assets.
The centre has four zones that together offer hands-on, interactive demonstrations on a selection of ABB’s core control, safety, instrumentation, electrical and telecoms equipment together with typical scenarios faced by the industry. The facility can also connect to external sites across the UK, demonstrating how real-time connected integrated operations can lead to significant benefits and cost reduction.
Zone 1 accommodates a control room featuring an extended operator workplace (EOW) demonstrating how a focus on human factors and the operator environment can significantly reduce unforced errors. The D3 collaboration desk allows users to see real-time process data and key performance indicators.
The central Zone 2 is a training and meeting room featuring the latest in teaching and smart projection aids.
Zone 3 houses a range of ABB equipment which can be demonstrated stand-alone or connected together to show how instrumentation, variable-speed drives, motors and other control equipment interact with one another.
The interactive café zone features a giant iPad-looking augmented reality pod, where visitors can explore the industry and learn about upcoming challenges.
