Adding Value with Industrial IT
Our technologies and products are integrated in a standard information architecture. IndustrialIT maintains a
real-time connection between devices at field level, e.g.
pumps, engines, valves or switches and the overlying
company level, from operational management all the way
to top management. The information is put into a concentrated and comprehensible form for end users.
Besides integrating the various levels of the company,
Industrial IT performs an important function by monitoring the life cycle of all system parts.
IndustrialIT also supports integration and optimization
along the entire value-added chain to ensure smooth and
flexible cooperation with customers and suppliers.
IndustrialIT Highlights
· At the Untervaz works operated by the cement producer Holcim, a fully automated laboratory (Autolab)
takes material samples along the entire production
chain and analyzes it. With the IndustrialIT system provided by ABB, this data can be called up at any time
by the quality officer, the shift supervisor or the Group
management. This capability allows for fast decision
making and improved product quality.
· ABB provided the entire electrical and control technology for a new third furnace line at a waste-to-energy
plant in Malmö, Sweden. Thanks to OperateIT, the plant
operators have an advanced information management
system with a modern and standardized Windowsbased user interface at their disposal. Different systems
and applications are synchronized with each other. The
components integrate process information seamlessly
and enhance the efficiency of operational management.
· An OperateIT substation control system from ABB is
installed at the substation in Tessin Canton, one of the
most vital junctions in the Central European power
supply market.

Our Commitment to Sustainability
In 1991, ABB signed the Business Charta for Sustainable
Development (ICC Charta) at the environmental summit
in Rio de Janeiro, committing itself to conducting
business in an environmentally and socially compatible
manner that conserves natural resources.
Since 2001 ABB has taken the “triple bottom line” approach
to presenting its economic, ecological and social results.
That means it measures sustainability in three regards:
· Increased economic profitability;
· Transfer of our environmental management system to
all areas with the involvement of employees;

Sustainable development will strongly influence the entire
economy in the years ahead. Environmental protection
in the broadest sense of the word is becoming the actual
strategy for the future.
· Continued full implementation of our social policy
worldwide.
ABB is meeting its commitment to sustainable development by selling ecologically efficient products and supporting the transfer of technology to the developing world. It
also works constantly on improving its own sustainability
performance.
In 2001 ABB launched a program entitled “Access to Electricity” to help combat poverty. The goal is to provide a
sustainable electricity supply to people currently without
a power supply.
