ABB has launched a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) option for its energy management and optimization platform, ABB AbilityTM OPTIMAX® 7.0, alongside improved advanced process control software. This allows industrial and energy operators greater flexibility in how they deploy, scale and operate energy and process optimization software across complex plants and sites.
With the new SaaS option, ABB manages installation, deployment, system monitoring and software updates so operators can access OPTIMAX without being responsible for local installation and maintenance.
As well as SaaS enablement, OPTIMAX can now harness AI-driven forecasting capabilities that predict load demand, energy generation and energy pricing. These forecasts support more accurate and efficient energy planning, energy market interaction and enhance grid compliance. Further improving operational visibility and control, ABB’s launch of its ABB Ability™ Advanced Process Control 7.0 (APC) strengthens its process optimization offering for real-time, closed-loop control applications.
OPTIMAX and APC are now powered by Kubernetes, a system for automating deployment, scaling and management of applications, to deliver flexibility, high availability, robust security, observability, and maintainability - whether deployed on the edge, cloud or hybrid.
Together, OPTIMAX and APC software are accessible through a shared digital environment, integrating securely with existing control systems and enabling continuous optimization without compromising plant safety or reliability. They implement coordinated optimization of energy and process, considering energy market prices and opportunities, utilizing shared data and unique user interface.
