Robot + promotes the collaborative integration of AI and industry

61-380630-00 The world today faces megatrents such as personalized consumption, accelerated digitization and artificial intelligence, labor shortages, and heightened uncertainty. ABB offers leading robotics and automation solutions that increase productivity and quality, enhance flexibility and ease of use, and help businesses respond more flexibly and efficiently to the challenges and opportunities posed by these trends. The application of artificial intelligence enables more cost-effective robotics and automation, which will benefit more enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.

With the blessing of data and artificial intelligence, robot autonomy has been elevated to a new level, achieving self-adaptation in new environments. By integrating AI into robotic solutions, ABB will not only bring users greater autonomy, but also greater mobility and enhanced image processing and analysis capabilities.

Quality inspection

ABB offers an AI-powered robotic welding inspection system 61-380630-00 that detects, finds and identifies defects as small as 22 microns 20 times faster than a human.

Predictive maintenance

Based on the failure physical model and AI-based evaluation standard learning, ABB robot failure prediction accuracy can reach 99.9%, 1 to 3 months in advance warning, and achieve zero production disruption;

Autonomous drilling

ABB robots are equipped with sensors and AI systems to help Schindler drill and install anchors in elevator shafts, significantly improving construction accuracy and safety.

Goods sorting

With the support of 3D visual guidance and AI deep neural network, 61-380630-00 ABB robots can pick randomly placed workpieces quickly, efficiently and accurately, performing 1,400 picks per hour;

Autonomous movement

61-380630-00 ABB has applied 3D Visual Simultaneous positioning and Map Building (VSLAM) technology to autonomous mobile robots, enabling them to make intelligent navigation decisions based on their surroundings.

To meet the growing demand for AI-enabled robotics solutions, ABB has invested aggressively in expanding its production facilities and enhancing its AI innovation capabilities, opening a world-class robotic gigafactory in Shanghai and a new research and development center for AI, digitalization and software innovation. Expanded existing robot factories in the United States and Sweden to increase production capacity and develop new generation artificial intelligence technologies.

ABB adopts the path of combining endogenous growth and mergers and acquisitions to 61-380630-00 promote the innovation and implementation of AI technology and build an AI application ecosystem. By investing in promising AI start-ups, ABB is expanding its portfolio of new technologies, understanding new industries and exploring new business models. In early 2024, ABB acquired Swiss startup Sevensense to expand its leadership in a new generation of AI-powered autonomous mobile robots. Acquired a majority stake in R&D engineering company Meshmind to expand its R&D capabilities in the fields of artificial intelligence, Industrial Internet of Things and machine vision.

The cornerstone of AI success is talent. ABB has long supported the training of AI innovation talents and industrial application talents, including cooperating with Google and other Hackathons, and cooperating with the Chinese Society of Automation to hold ABB Cup intelligent technology innovation competition. In addition, ABB is actively expanding its industrial education series of robots to improve student skills and gain a competitive advantage in the future.
