Press Release
ABB showcases revolutionary new products and
thought leadership at Offshore Europe
ABB will showcase new cost saving technology and experts will deliver a series
of technical talks at Offshore Europe.
Global leader in power and automation systems ,ABB, has developed two new products, named ABB InSight
and X-Wave™, that have been designed in response to the industry’s growing need to maximise cost
reduction whilst increasing production efficiency, and maintaining safety.
ABB InSight is the first-of-its-kind crawler inspection robot which reduces down time, inspection costs and
risks of secondary damage. Fitted with five cameras, the device is used to crawl in the air gap between the
stator and rotor of a motor or generator to visually inspect its status without needing to be removed.
The X-Wave™ is a cost effective, accurate motion compensation system. The advanced universal device has
been designed for Subsea and Well Intervention winch systems and continuously adapts to changing
dynamics.
ABB are also hosting a series of technical talks that respond to key industry issues; production efficiency, cost
reduction and support during late life and decommissioning. The 20 minute talks will be presented hourly on
the ABB stand every day during Offshore Europe, with the opportunity to ask questions as well as to meet
other ABB experts. Places for the talks can be pre-booked via www.abb.co.uk/offshore-europe or visit ABB
on Stand 3E 160.
ABB’s Martin Grady Oil, Gas and Chemicals Manager UK says “This is a very challenging time for the industry,
where the need to reduce costs without compromising on safety is an ongoing challenge. Despite this, the
industry still needs to innovate and introduce new technologies, and ABB is leading the way.
“We are proud to be able to demonstrate some of ABB’s latest developments on our stand at Offshore Europe
and showcase our latest subsea technology and systems, alongside our integrated operations. ABB InSight
and X-Wave™ in particular, are two of the latest devices which help towards cost reduction and production
efficiency.”
Other stand attractions include the chance to experience a virtual reality tour of an oil and gas facility using
Oculus Rift technology; a 3D flythrough of ABB’s offerings. There will also be a number of demonstrations
illustrating how integrated operations technology can be fully exploited offshore.
