According to researches, the industrial companies for August, 2020, as a rule, use only 20% of collected information that seriously limits their capability consciously and to timely apply analytical data. The solution of ABB collects digital streams of the data arriving from different sources in one place and integrates them with the general contextual options using uniform analytical model. Use of artificial intelligence concerning these indicators gives the chance to obtain the subject filtered information for forecasting and optimization that directly influences performance improvement.

We consider that "a start point" for data analysis in the processing, power and hybrid industries is creation of the system based on the existing digital technologies using solutions for automation for management of technology processes. Peter Terwiesch, the president of business "Industrial automation" of ABB company noted

ABB Ability Genix consists of the information and analytical system and applications added with ABB services which help users to decide how to optimize assets, technology processes and profiles of risk and also promote formation of analytical data and determination of methods of their application. Thanks to library of applications, users can select different types of the analytical reporting depending on production tasks that will help to accelerate traditional planning process and the order of services at suppliers.

Configured both for needs of the plant, and for the enterprise, ABB Ability Genix supports different methods of implementation, including cloud, hybrid and local. ABB Ability Genix uses the Microsoft Azure platform for the integrated connection to a cloud and services within strategic partnership of ABB and Microsoft.

In combination with technologies and opportunities of artificial intelligence of ABB Ability Genix Suite allows to use the analytical data arriving from different sources. ABB Ability Genix helps the producers working with the large volume of assets to make decisions by means of the analysis and process optimization at all enterprise. Rajesh Ramachandran, the Chief Digital Officer in the field of industrial automation of ABB company commented on Rajahs

The key ABB Ability Genix component is ABB Ability Edgenius Operations Data Manager – the tool which connects, collects and analyzes operational technology data in the place of their emergence. ABB Ability Edgenius uses the indicators generated by operational technologies and systems, such as APCS and metering equipment for creation of analytics which allows to optimize production processes and to increase efficiency of use of assets. ABB Ability Edgenius can be unrolled as the separate tool or to integrate with ABB Ability Genix, thus, utilization properties integrate with other data for carrying out strategic analysis of activity of the enterprise.

The data generated by the automation equipment which controls production in real time are a valuable asset. Using ABB Ability Edgenius we can obtain operational information from management systems and use them for forecasting of possible malfunctions and also develop an operations procedure which will help us to use more effectively assets and to debug production processes. Bernhard Eschermann, the technical director of business "Industrial automation" of ABB company added
