ABB Launches Automation Extended for Seamless Industrial Modernization

ABB has unveiled the Automation Extended program, aimed at aiding industries to modernize distributed control systems (DCS) without disruptions. This initiative builds on ABB’s expertise in process automation and large DCS installations, enabling industries to adopt new technologies gradually while safeguarding existing investments.

The program introduces a modern, open, and modular automation ecosystem supporting advanced analytics, AI, and IoT integration. The architecture separates concerns, maintaining core control integrity and allowing digital enhancements without impacting critical operations.

Operators can integrate new technologies into reliable ABB systems like ABB Ability™ System 800xA®, Symphony® Plus, and Freelance. This provides a low-risk modernization path, facilitating innovation and operational continuity.

Automation Extended is facilitated through interoperable environments, leveraging advancements like OPC UA backbone and Cloud-Native Architecture for effective technological optimization across diverse industrial domains.
