BATCH OF IDEAS: ABB's Adaptive Execution Takes a Leaf from Nature's Book

摘要

The concept of biomimicry is fascinating. Nature, after all, has solved so many sophisticated problems. So, it makes perfect sense to look to nature for inspiration when solving man-made engineering or ecosystem problems. That's exactly the approach ABB took with its recently announced ABB Adaptive Execution offering. Designed for large capital projects in the energy sector that often exceed budget and experience extensive delays, Adaptive Execution is based on digitalization and collaboration at its core and is expected to reduce automation related capital expenditures by up to 40%, compress delivery schedules by as much as 30%, and lower start-up hours by 40%, according to the company.
