6 Performance-based services for industrial markets Automation suppliers provide outsourcing and co-sourcing opportunities for customers’ automation operations. Real-time energy performance management Energy management relies on having access to the right information – which is where ABB’s IndustrialIT comes in. Transformingnon-core processes with maintenance partnerships How partnerships with experts in non-core activities allow industrial manufacturers to focus on their main businesses. Asset optimization solutions The importance of focusing on complete lifecycle optimization of plant assets. Asset effectiveness: increasing worth and financial return ABB has developed new strategies and tools that reduce maintenancecosts and improve asset effectiveness. High tech means high service performance Advances in technology are changing the way firms approach support and improve their return on assets. Web-based data collection and analysis How can service centers monitor more machines over ever-greater distances, and do it more efficiently? Closing the productivity gap through service solutions A look atvalue-based productivity solutions that remove sources of waste from customers’ production systems. Lifecycle management for improved availability ABB’s lifecycle management programs exist to provide customers with the best possible return on their assets. Winning the battle with downtime Risk-based inspection can help businesses save on preventive maintenance while minimizing the risk of failure. Humanperformance: the overlooked asset Training is an often-overlooked means of increasing operational performance without investing in capital. Applied knowledge management in services How networking and sharing knowledge and best practices provides real-time support for ABB’s service organization.

Using standardized equipment and methodology, customers in remote locations can collect raw data and then transmit it to ABB experts in service centerswhere, after analysis and interpretation, it is transformed into information for initiating action back in the plant. Other impacted areas are value-based productivity solutions that eliminate waste from our customers’ processes, and risk-based inspection to help businesses plan preventive maintenance and minimize the risk of failure. BB’s customers not only look at the purchase price of ourproducts and systems, but also increasingly at the economic impact of performance and operation over these assests’ entire lifecycle. Besides adding a new dimension to our thinking, this provides us with challenges that are having a significant impact on our R&D portfolio. IndustrialIT is a case in point. Its unique and innovative architecture allows realtime energy consumption management, so plantperformance costs can be optimized relative to the desired production level. Customers are able to access information which can be used for lifecycle optimization of plant assets, ranging from field devices, control systems and automation devices, through resources such as energy and manpower, to major plant infrastructure. The design of web-based solutions, including portable data collectors andautomated diagnostics functions, is also influencing our R&D efforts.
