ABB is launching a new digital suite of applications for hoist monitoring and optimization, now rebranded to ABB Ability™ Smart Hoisting, which opens it up for further integration to other cloud solutions and extended offerings that significantly increase the operational performance and reliability of mine hoists.
The new digital suite is an important milestone in the company’s ambition to transform predictive maintenance for mine hoists. With new features such as ABB Drive System Monitoring and new key performance indicators (KPIs), ABB is opening the door to an entirely new level of mine hoist optimization services for customers.
ABB Ability™ Smart Hoisting is designed to significantly improve the uptime, availability, reliability, performance, and productivity of hoists. By incorporating advanced monitoring features, the system provides actionable information on critical KPIs, ensuring better decision-making and optimization of hoisting operations. The automatic collection, monitoring, and analysis of data will enable mining companies to increase production performance, identify potential functional safety hazards and optimize maintenance scheduling.
