Updated digital technology to support field workers
The updated Ability Connected Worker technology (photo) offers new functionalities that strengthen and accelerate the digitalization of the field-operator experience to mitigate the risk of human error and unscheduled downtime. The enhanced software integrates technology and connectivity into the workplace to provide the operator more flexibility, control and ease-of-use through greater visibility of real-world circumstances and data. The Integrated Task Manager application (app) will deliver ongoing, continuous improvements on current data and stronger analysis capabilities on historical data, allowing operators to more accurately measure their performance efficiency. Improvements in the Procedure Manager app mean that operators can now preview their industrial procedures across various mobile devices and in different virtual settings. The updated Mobile app features an improved audit trail and the ability to go back and enter or approve data in a more controlled way. The improved visibility allows for better prioritization and ease-of-use, increasing quality of operations as a result. — ABB, Zurich, Switzerland
