COMPANY INSIGHT

ABB ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE

THE GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY LEADER AND PARTNER OF CHOICE FOR ENABLING STRONGER, SMARTER AND MORE RESILIENT TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS.

The most basic mission of any organization is to keep operations efficient, work optimized and assets performing at their peak. This mission, however basic, is also an endless challenge as assets age, the workforce transitions and demand for additional asset output increases. Fortunately, there is more technology and data available today than ever before, providing the ability to proactively improve communications, automation and performance. From the field to the boardroom the digital transformation is inevitable, and will change the way business operates. Dubbed the “fourth industrial revolution,” no area of business will see the performance enhancements more profoundly than operations. While the transition may seem futuristic, for those that begin today, the rewards are great – operations are improved, costs are reduced, and safety is enhanced.

At the forefront of transportation operations software is ABB Ability™ Ellipse^®, the premier connected asset lifecycle management solution for asset intensive companies needing to optimize asset availability, performance, efficiency and quality. Built from almost 40 years of experience supporting the asset management and business operations of hundreds of the world’s largest industrial organizations, ABB Ability™ Ellipse^® is the only solution that unifies world-class functionality for enterprise asset management (EAM), workforce management (WFM) and asset performance management (APM). Ellipse facilitates the orchestration of priority, process and people across an organization, enabling the management of physical assets across the entire asset lifecycle. Ellipse enables faster, better-informed decisions in daily operations and allows for more comprehensive, insightful, long-term planning and modeling to improve safety, reliability, and sustainability.
