ABB Industrial IT Platform supports Bayesian Networks

ABB_logo

ABB has with its customers from process industries, collaborated with Hugin Expert A/S on a Research and Development project targeting the development of a methodology for root cause analysis (RCA) and decision support on process operation.

The increasing complexity of industrial processes and the struggle for cost reduction and higher profitability requires automated systems for processes diagnosis in plant operation and maintenance. The ABB Industrial IT platform is an automation and information platform that integrates diverse standardization of global processes and has a greater return on process assets. ABB is utilizing the advanced Hugin tool from Hugin Expert A/S for decision support.
