The strong cooperation of the two sides marks a new stage in the development of industrial technology. We will not only have the interconnection system for collecting data at present, but also use data in industrial operation and equipment to sense, analyze, optimize and take countermeasures to help industrial customers improve the normal operation time, speed and output.
ABB has installed 70 million interconnected devices around the world, and has 70000 sets of operating control systems and 6000 sets of enterprise software solutions. As a trusted leader in the field of industry, ABB has been deeply engaged in the field of industrial digitalization for more than 40 years. IBM is a leader in artificial intelligence and cognitive computing. IBM and ABB will work together to create powerful solutions for customers and seize the major opportunities brought by the fourth industrial revolution.
Breakthrough new solutions
This breakthrough solution, jointly developed by ABB and IBM, will provide users with a new way to deal with major challenges in the industrial field, such as strengthening quality control, reducing downtime, and improving the speed and output of industrial processes. These solutions not only have the data collection function of existing interconnected devices, but also cover the cognitive industrial devices that use data to detect, analyze and take countermeasures, helping workers eliminate invalid processes and redundant work.
Chairman of IBM President and CEO Luo Ruilan said: "The important cooperation with ABB will help Watson to participate more deeply in the industrial applications in different fields such as manufacturing, power and transportation. The data generated in the products, equipment and systems of industrial enterprises will also significantly improve innovation, efficiency and security. Through Watson's extensive recognition ability and the platform's special support for the industrial field, these huge new resources can be converted into reliable value. We are eagerly looking forward to working with ABB To carry out cooperation in this new industrial field. "
