At the 2016 China Automation Annual Conference and the 14th Automation Awards Annual Awarding Ceremony, ABB, the world's leading power and automation technology group, won several awards in the year. Among them, ABB's new products such as controllers, robots, electrical fire monitoring systems and smart home systems won the "Innovation Product Award", highlighting ABB's outstanding innovation capability and technical leadership in the automation field in the "Internet" era. .

Under the "new normal" background, although China's economic growth has begun to slow down, China remains one of the fastest growing economies in the world. At present, the country vigorously promotes economic restructuring and industrial optimization and upgrading, and it is driven by factors, investment, and innovation. From the pursuit of speed and quantity expansion to the focus on quality and efficiency, it has given birth to unlimited growth potential. From the construction of grid automation to the rapid development of new-type urbanization, from the “Belt and Road” strategy to the “Made in China 2025” and “Internet” action plans, all bring a series of new market opportunities and growth points.

Jiang Haibo, Senior Vice President of ABB (China) Co., Ltd. and head of ABB China's Process Automation Business Department, said: “In the wave of the new generation of industrial revolution, the starting and developing stages of each country are not the same. China is still in the process of industrialization. However, by enhancing the level of innovation and industrial intelligence and accelerating industrial upgrading and transformation, China is expected to achieve 'smart leapfrogging'. ABB hopes to support China's 'manufacturing power' through its 'Internet of things, services and people' technology and local innovation capabilities. Towards 'Strengthening China'."

2015 was the year when the "Made in China 2025" strategy was launched. It focused on the integration of informatization and industrialization, and promoted the development of ten key areas to create an internationally competitive manufacturing industry. Among these key areas, ABB's diversified business portfolio and R&D are in the fields of new generation information technology, high-end CNC machine tools and robots, marine engineering equipment and high-tech ships, advanced rail transit equipment, energy-saving and new energy vehicles, and electric equipment. The direction is closely related. For example, in order to fully serve the rapidly growing Chinese electric vehicle market, ABB established a dedicated team in 2013 to support R&D, production, logistics, and service of electric vehicle charging facilities in China. In the beginning of 2014, it joined hands with BYD Daimler New Technology Co., Ltd. To jointly build a nation-wide electric vehicle charging network to support sustainable urban traffic development.

Jiang Haibo believes that the future trend of the industrial Internet is not limited to manufacturing, but covers a wider range. In the fields of industry, power, transportation, and infrastructure, only a combination of things, services, and people can achieve a meaningful integration plan and demonstrate advantages in improving production efficiency and energy efficiency. For more than ten years, ABB has been committed to promoting the development of the “Internet of things, services and people” and has continuously developed various process control systems, communication solutions, sensors and software to help users analyze data intelligently, optimize operations, and increase production. Efficiency and increased flexibility. Under the concept of “connectivity of goods, services and people”, through the integrated application of ABB technology, users can increase production efficiency by up to 30%.

Take the industrial robot and shipbuilding industry as an example. ABB launched the world's first YuMi® robot with dual-arm cooperation in 2015, making it possible for humans and industrial robots to collaborate side by side to help companies optimize production processes, improve product quality and production efficiency. The Octopus monitoring software developed by ABB to optimize ship operations is also used on ships built by Chinese shipyards to analyze meteorological conditions through software and sensor technology to ensure that crew members make the right decisions in deepwater operations.

In China, ABB always insists on innovation and uses intelligent technologies to help customers save energy, reduce emissions, and increase production efficiency. In 2015 alone, ABB China R&D team developed innovative products such as M2BAX series low-voltage motors designed for Chinese customers' use environment and HD series all-digital high-definition building intercom systems using top-level protection design to help customers in transformation and upgrading. Achieve energy efficiency and create more value.

The “Automation of the Year” sponsored by the China Industrial and Control Network has a wide range of impacts in the field of automation in China and has been held for 14 consecutive years since 2002. This review was selected from December 2015 and the final selection of each award was made through online user voting and expert on-site selection. Among them, Dr. Gu Chunyuan, Chairman and President of ABB (China) Co., Ltd. was awarded the "Operation Management Award," and Awen Lin, the head of ABB's discrete automation and motion control business division in North Asia and China, won the "Intelligent Leadership Award," ABB Electronics. Commercial Director Wang Huan won the “Outstanding Manager Award”, “ABB Drive helped Wanjiazhai Yellow River Accession Project” was selected as the “Model Project Award”, and “ABB delivered the 10 millionth inverter” was selected as the “Hot News Award”. .

ABB is a global leader in power and automation technology and is dedicated to helping customers in the power, industrial, transportation and infrastructure sectors improve their performance while reducing their impact on the environment. ABB Group operates in nearly 100 countries and employs 135,000 people. ABB has a full range of business activities including R&D, manufacturing, sales, and engineering services in China.
