IS200EH1ACB Shanghai is fully implementing the smart factory pilot plan to boost the construction of smart factories and digital infrastructure to lead the high-quality development of smart manufacturing. ABB Shanghai Robot Gigafactory is ABB’s largest robot R&D, production and application base in China, and is also one of the development engines of Shanghai’s high-end manufacturing industry. ABB Electric provided digital solutions for the Gigafactory, including ABB Ability™ EAM energy efficiency and asset health management cloud platform, Emax2 air circuit breaker, VD4 vacuum circuit breaker, IM302 intelligent power monitoring instrument, etc., to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power supply and distribution system of the Gigafactory. Help build energy-saving, efficient and green smart factories.
ABB Shanghai Robot Gigafactory, an investment of 150 million US dollars, covers an area of 67,000 square meters, integrating production and research and development, using automated flexible production, robot manufacturing robots, to triple ABB’s current production capacity, consolidating ABB’s market position in the field of robotics and autoIS200EH1ACB mation in China. More than 90 percent of ABB’s robot products sold in China are manufactured here. As an intelligent and automated super factory, its power distribution room also embodies the wisdom of digitalization.
Intelligent multi-site power distribution management improves productivity
ABB Emax2 air circuit breaker is a comprehensive power manager, and its load management function can measure the power consumption according to the use of the branch circuit, optimize the power use, and achieve energy saving and efficiency. ABB Ability™ digital solutions, based on deep insights into real-time data, enable customers to provide proactive predictive maintenance for different equipment, enabling asset lifecycle management. Thanks to the plug&play, flexible and fast access to the ABB Ability™ EAM solution, the platform can be easily accessed from the three decentralized distribution rooms in the Gigafactory and the second and third level distribution boxes scattered on each floor.
BB Ekip E-Hub 2.0 and 18 Emax2 intelligent circuit breakers and 243 IM302 intelligent power monitoring instruments, through the power monitoring, load statistics, data analysis, online control and other functions, to achieve a comprehensive real-time monitoring of the power distribution room of the super factory, replace the traditional manual inspection, reducIS200EH1ACB e operation and maintenance costs. Optimize spare parts management mode. At the same time, the API function based on ABB Ability™ EAM platform, through the secondary development of digital partners in the later stage, more abundant digital analysis and page display can be realized, and better meet the customer’s use habits.
Based on the successful application of ABB Ability EAM in the Gigafactory, ABB Kangqiao’s original robot factory has completed a digital upgrade in July this year, and is managed under the same platform as the new Gigafactory, providing visual data support for the energy management of the overall facility and providing help for energy conservation and emission reduction.
