electing the right components to meet the specific needs of an engineering project is a major headache for designers. Not
only must they identify the essential elements, they also need to specify the exact products that will deliver the required performance and functionality. Without the help of modern digital tools, designs can struggle to advance from concept to implementation. ABB GoSelect was built to solve this problem. Launched in 2024, this is an intuitive web-based platform designed to streamline the selection, dimensioning and configuration of motors, drives, and PLCs. In other words, it’s a one- stop-shop for engineers to build optimal, scalable automation solutions more efficiently. In only its first year, GoSelect has attracted up to 250-300 active users per day, with user

adoption steadily increased week by week. This is expected to grow even further as new features, language support, and marketing reach additional regions expand.
At the big picture level, GoSelect is a smart selection tool that smooths away the friction of juggling and comparing different options. Look a little deeper into the details, and you can appreciate just how helpful it can be. With it, users can: • Select and size motors and drives with guided or direct input
• Run efficiency calculations for drive and motor packages
• Configure AC500 PLC systems, including human machine interface (HMI) and I/O modules
• Export bills of materials (BOMs), system diagrams and project reports
• Store projects securely via cloud access. You can create different configuration
alternatives under one project, compare them side-by-side, and track the entire project history. All this means saying goodbye to scattered tools: GoSelect unifies everything in one, streamlined digital workspace.
One of GoSelect’s most valuable features is its logic-driven visual interface. It offers two starting points: a guided selection (ideal for users new to ABB’s portfolio) and a direct dimensioning option (for experienced users
