853-227247-001 The wave of artificial intelligence is evolving in depth at an unprecedented speed, profoundly changing many industries. ABB’s businesses have comprehensively accelerated the pace of AI innovation, upgraded their strategic layout, and increased investment.
Today, at the ABB Artificial Intelligence Strategy conference held in Shanghai, Dr. An Shiming, president of ABB Robotics and Discrete Automation Division, introduced ABB’s latest strategy and application results in the field of artificial intelligence, and shared ABB’s implementation path and application deployment for analytical AI and generative AI. By combining artificial intelligence and professional knowledge, Help customers unlock new scenarios, create new value, and form new quality productivity.
Simon An, president of ABB’s Robotics and Discrete Automation division, said that ABB has accumulated deep experience in the field of artificial intelligence. Since 2014, we have continued to create value for our customers through AI-enabled automation and electrification solutions. The rapid 853-227247-001 development of generative AI has triggered a new round of industry changes and industry jumps. Machines are becoming smarter, more powerful, and easier to use, lowering the barrier to automation for businesses of all sizes, while also meeting users’ demands for greater flexibility and intelligence in an environment of labor shortages and uncertainty. ABB will work closely with customers, partners and the education community to promote AI innovation and build a better and more prosperous future.
AI innovation accelerates and empowers the entire business
853-227247-001 As a global technology leader, ABB is increasingly integrating AI into its automation and electrification portfolio to help customers in power, industry, transportation and infrastructure improve efficiency, quality and innovation. ABB has conducted more than 100 AI projects focusing on AI application categories such as insight generation, process optimization, skill development and human-computer interaction, both analytical and generative AI.
ABB’s four businesses, Electrical, motion control, process automation, robotics and discrete automation, have all put AI into use to serve customers in various industries. From energy management at the macro level to robot motion path planning at the micro level, artificial intelligence can effectively optimize operations and double energy efficiency, typical cases such as:
ABB uses building system data, combined with behavioral patterns, to 853-227247-001 manage building energy, significantly reduce emissions, reduce costs by more than 20%, and extend equipment life;
ABB uses artificial intelligence to help predict potential drive failures and analyze operational data for predictive maintenance, significantly improving equipment availability and reducing maintenance costs;
•ABB Ability™ Genix Industrial Analytics and AI suite can help companies save up to 40% on operating and maintenance costs, increase productivity by 30%, and optimize energy and emissions by 25% through process optimization;
• In the area of human-computer interaction, ABB uses natural language instructions to teach robots for operations such as picking and placing, improving ease of use and facilitating quick commissioning.
