Using technology to make history
Zaragoza leveraged ABB Ability Ekip UP for the advanced energy management and monitoring required to improve its energy usage control. Ekip UP made it simple to upgrade existing equipment in the historical buildings to connect them together in the cloud. By remotely monitoring and controlling energy usage, the city is able to reduce energy consumption and shrink its carbon footprint.

Using technology to make history
Zaragoza leveraged ABB Ability Ekip UP for the advanced energy management and monitoring required to improve its energy usage control. Ekip UP made it simple to upgrade existing equipment in the historical buildings to connect them together in the cloud. By remotely monitoring and controlling energy usage, the city is able to reduce energy consumption and shrink its carbon footprint.
Ekip UP is specifically designed to help digitize and connect legacy electronics, such as those found in the historical Zaragoza buildings. This provides a cost-effective solution for retrofitting electrical distribution systems without unnecessary work or expense. The smart Ekip UP unit connects the existing equipment to a cloud-based platform for remote monitoring and control. The platform automatically optimizes energy usage, helping to save up to 30 percent in operational costs, while being 50 percent faster to install than traditional revamping solutions.
In addition to Ekip UP, ABB technologies installed in the project include a complete set of network analyzer registers, Ekip UP’s integrated data logger, open-core current sensors, the plug-and-play communication modules, and connectivity for advanced energy monitoring through the ABB Ability cloud-based system. Additionally, ABB delivered technical guidance for the entire solution, incorporating metering products, digital energy monitoring, the cloud-based platform, and energy-efficiency consulting.
