ABB HAS DEVELOPED a new version of its smart condition-monitoring sensor technology that can be applied to rotating machines operating in hazardous areas. The wireless sensor, aimed mainly at applications in the chemical, oil and gas industries, will make its public debut at the Hannover Fair in April. The ABB Ability Smart Sensor monitors key parameters of equipment such as motors and pumps to provide insights into their performance and health. It can monitor equipment installed in difficult or dangerous-to-access locations safely from a distance. By combining connectivity and data analytics, it will allow users to plan their maintenance activities in advance, cutting downtime and extending equipment lifetimes.
