background
With the breakthrough progress of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G communication and big data analysis, new ideas have been provided for the digitalization and greening of the chemical industry. Recently, ABB successfully provided Ashland Chemical (Nanjing) Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Ashland Chemical") with the ABB PowerCare worry-free service solution. Through the integration of "exclusive butler + advanced algorithm + operation and maintenance platform", it solves the enterprise's operation and maintenance troubles in one stop, focusing on the three dimensions of power distribution equipment, professionals, and operation and maintenance services, helping customers to achieve the purpose of equipment operation and maintenance, reduce manpower, reduce costs, reduce tediousness, and increase services. While improving the reliability of users' power supply, it provides a strong guarantee for the daily stable operation of enterprises.
Ashland is one of the world's leading additives and specialty products companies, actively practicing the concept of sustainable development, serving the personal consumer products and industrial products markets, and its business scope includes architectural coatings, automobiles, construction, energy, food and beverages, nutrition and health, personal care and pharmaceuticals.
With the growing global demand for innovative materials, the requirements for power supply reliability in the chemical industry are also getting higher and higher. Traditional operation and maintenance models have limited effects on hidden dangers such as system failures, installation defects, and improper debugging. Racing against time and passive maintenance not only affect production progress, but also may lead to high operation and maintenance costs. Electrical equipment is the core cornerstone of smart manufacturing and an important hardware and key node for Ashland's digital transformation. In particular, in the face of gradually expanding business and customer groups' increasing requirements for R&D, production, and testing, intelligent operation and maintenance services are particularly critical.
After ABB conducted a detailed evaluation and consultation for Ashland Chemical's power distribution equipment, it customized a comprehensive power distribution solution for customers based on the on-site equipment conditions. Through ABB PowerCare worry-free services (worry-free housekeeper, worry-free operation and maintenance, worry-free system) and other series of products and overall solutions, Ashland Chemical has achieved intelligent and digital upgrades to its power distribution system in terms of equipment health management, intelligent operation and maintenance, and power safety, and has comprehensively upgraded and strengthened the safety line of the power distribution system.
Enjoy all-weather power supply guarantee, more professional
Worry-free housekeepers are equipped with exclusive account managers with rich on-site experience and multi-product qualifications for customers, providing 7*24 hours of exclusive service support, which can help customers respond and solve various problems on site quickly and promptly. At the same time, Worry-free housekeepers provide four exclusive service rights, including spare parts rights, maintenance rights, repair rights, and training rights, to ensure worry-free equipment operation.
Provide equipment full life cycle management, more comprehensive
Worry-free operation and maintenance includes two major functions: equipment health management and full life cycle management. Equipment health management can realize self-perception of equipment health status, quantify health scores, provide effective and professional operation and maintenance suggestions, and then realize operation and maintenance planning management and equipment intelligent management throughout the life cycle.
Improve equipment operation and maintenance efficiency, more efficient
The worry-free system provides a visual interface that is easy to understand and analyze data, helping customers quickly locate fault points, realize real-time monitoring, analysis and control of equipment status, thereby eliminating potential hidden dangers and ensuring efficient operation of equipment.
In response to the strict requirements of the chemical industry for power supply continuity, based on the diversified needs of users, ABB tailors different intelligent solutions for it. Through comprehensive product solutions, interconnection and interoperability are achieved. Through the summary of digital platforms, effective prediction before failure and intelligent operation and maintenance reminders in the later stage are achieved, ensuring the high requirements of power supply continuity. In addition, the solution changes the user's original paper version drawing consultation mode. After electronic archiving and updating, it is more convenient to help customers and improve daily operation and maintenance efficiency.
The successful application of ABB PowerCare worry-free service solution in Ashland Chemical not only improves Ashland's power intelligent management level, but also creates a safer power environment for enterprises. ABB PowerCare worry-free service helps users achieve safer and more efficient business operations faster and at a lower cost, and promotes the dual transformation of user enterprises to digitalization and greening. ABB will continue to be committed to providing more efficient and reliable power guarantee for the chemical industry with innovative technologies and digital solutions.
