Real-time monitoring for better maintenance decisions
Continuous monitoring of operations provides real-time data and accurate insights into the condition of drives and other equipment, enabling predictive maintenance. When maintenance is performed as it is needed rather than based on fixed schedules, operators can complete maintenance work before failures occur. This allows the staff to focus on other high-priority tasks and to plan maintenance schedules to avoid disrupting production.

"ABB’s digital monitoring services helped us reduce the number of unplanned stops, which is critical because every instance of downtime costs us a lot of money. The cost of an annual license is about half the cost of short periods of downtime. We have complete control over the exhaust fans and the main furnace drive and receive a report every three months with information on the status of the drives and a recommendation for the necessary service. This is also in line with our current strategy of pushing the boundaries of digitalization and process automation both in maintenance and in the plant as a whole.”
