(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Over the past century and more, ABB has provided many technologies in automation and power that have shaped the world as we know it today, said Pierre Leretz, president and region division manager for India, Middle East and Africa of the Process Automation Division of ABB at their regional headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
"Technology is the key in our business and is our way of bringing environment friendly solutions to the world. ABB spends around a billion dollars per year on research and development (R&D), which is also among the reasons to us being acknowledged as one of the top technology companies in the world," he said.
Around 8,000 scientists in 70 ABB R&D centres all over the world work constantly to produce innovative technology and engineering solutions that are designed to make systems not only environment friendly but also more productive to users.
ABB is one of the first companies in the world to design control systems software that incorporate operational, engineering and maintenance features. ABB is also one of the earliest companies to use a common platform for operating traditional control systems as well as predictive maintenance and ESD (emergency shutdown) systems. Such a system is cost saving for customers and aids the operators of the plant to easily recognise the alarms in the plant and take action quickly.
"All our major clients with equipment worth millions of dollars are provided with this kind of asset management software that provides information about all their equipment with their maintenance schedules helping them to better understand their processing plants and efficiently manage personnel work times," said Leretz.
Such innovative solutions have resulted in ABB improving strategic partnerships and relations with all its customers who also now have the capability of witnessing the impressive portfolio of ABB technologies in operation. They can visit the Learning Zone in the HQ building and see the value ABB technology can add to their business.
