For more than 40 years, ABB has been a leader in Distributed Control Systems (DCS), which are critical to the largest and most critical operations worldwide, from energy and water to metals and chemicals. Our goal is to maximize the efficiency, reliability and sustainability of these industries through innovative, integrated solutions that scale with the changing demands of our customers and digitize, automate and electrify the industry.

DCS of the future

Today, the integration of IT and OT has led to opportunities to collect and analyze data from operating systems to generate insights that cannot be easily obtained through traditional means. This integration is known as IT/OT convergence.

Digital transformation through the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is increasingly present, with edge, on-premise, and cloud-based platforms becoming increasingly accessible. In the meantime, society's expectations in the field of sustainability continue to grow. Users demand that process automation solutions be more open, interoperable, flexible, and evolveable, without sacrificing the reliability, availability, safety, and security they have become accustomed to.

For these reasons ABB breaks down automation into an always-up-to-date, robust core supported by a modular architecture, prioritizing real-time response; with a comprehensive, digitally-enabled environment that securely connects to IoT and improves collaboration between people, systems and devices.

For a sustainable future

ABB integrates advanced energy management and optimization solutions to help with the transition to green energy sources and improve energy efficiency.

With our digital solutions, such as OPTIMAX®, we help organizations to improve their operational performance and reduce their CO2 emissions through advanced data analysis and real-time optimization.

OPTIMAX® for water management

Our Optimax solutions are specifically designed to improve energy efficiency within the water sector. These systems provide far-reaching insights into energy consumption, optimize the use of green energy, and support sustainability goals through:

Energy monitoring

Continuous monitoring and analysis of energy consumption for better insight and control.

Optimization of green energy

Integration and maximization of the use of generated green energy within the operational processes.

Integration with the primary process

Adapting processes to the availability of green energy, without disrupting the output.

A Powerful Partnership

The long-standing collaboration between ABB and ICT Group was initially focused on process automation, mainly in the water world, where both parties have built up a strong market position. ABB in the role of leading supplier, ICT Group in the role of expert in the field of system integration. It is precisely this bundling of knowledge that has been the driver behind a recent initiative to work together in the field of energy management. The combination of technology, implementation power and knowledge of the specific needs of the water market enables us to deliver maximum added value for the water world.
