ABB Ability™ Value Creation
Differentiate, boost your IoT strategy and your service business

• Safety - Improve safety at work with maintenance

inspections from a distance

SERVICES • Reliability – Reduce downtime by up to 70% with a

transition from reactive to proactive maintenance

• Energy Savings - Save up to 10% energy in a plant with

data from all encompassing energy audits

• Maintenance Savings - Save time and effort of

maintenance engineers with early warning systems

• Net Working Capital – Equipment can live up to 30%

longer with less redundant plant and spare inventory

The Internet of Things is much more than condition monitoring

FAQs

Question How dose the condition monitoring work?

Answer ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor is attached to each motor. This picks up signals relating to the motor’s status
parameters. Data from the ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor are transferred wirelessly – via a smartphone or a gateway solution, and
over the internet – to a secure ABB server. The data are processed by algorithms, developed by ABB, to produce meaningful
information. The information is then made available to the motor user, either on a smartphone screen or through
a dedicated customer portal.
The intuitive user interface includes a simple “traffic light” system that provides an overview of the
monitored motors.
If the solution detects a problem it sends an alert to the user, who can then use the portal to access
trend data and get further information on the motor’s operation profile.

Question: Can the sensor communicate to customers SAP systems, or send alert data?

Answer: We don't do any work with the customers SAP, but we can describe how to setup an interface to ABB Ability
cloud and get the alerts from there.
