Since its introduction five years ago, ABB’s IndustrialIT Extended Automation System 800xA has been sold to more than 5,000 new and existing ABB customers in a diverse range of industries. This figure includes new system installations, as well as existing ABB system evolutions to 800xA. ABB’s flagship automation system has improved industrial productivity, safety, and operational profitability for customers in virtually every industry and every region, from process industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, pulp and paper, cement, and mining to traditional electric and water utilities to alternative energy production such as solar, waste-to-energy and bioethanol.
Several recent System 800xA projects include a fully integrated automation and electrical power system for PTT Chemical’s Electrical Power and Steam combined cycle power plant near Bangkok, Thailand, power plant control for eSolar’s Sierra commercial demonstration facility in California, and integrated process and electrical systems for E.ON Benelux N.V.’s new high-efficiency power plant in the Netherlands. System 800xA will also help to double production at Boliden’s Aitik copper mine in northern Sweden, and help Vale maximize productivity at its new coal mine in Mozambique.
