As a pioneering technology leader, ABB has unveiled a new asset health solution at Hannover Messe to optimize switchgear using real-time information of the electrical system, ABB Ability™ Condition Monitoring for switchgear - SWICOM. Through monitoring and diagnostics of real-time information on the asset health of electrical systems, SWICOM lowers switchgear maintenance costs by up to 30 percent, prevents unexpected downtime by reducing failures throughout the power process and increases safety. The consequences of revenue loss due to system failure can be substantial, especially in heavy industries. SWICOM helps to extend asset lifetime, and as a result increase the value of the electrical system investments for each installation.
