INDUSTRY 4.0/IIoT
Sherif El-Meshad, Digital Lead,
Electrification at ABB, says the broader adoption of digitalisation will be the key to making sustainability a reality
the value – for example, projected energy reductions, efficiencies and operational optimisation. For ABB, digital transformation isn’t as much a destination but a journey, where businesses will take ongoing, iterative steps to improvement – underscored by a collaborative working relationship between technology partner and operator at each step of the way. Inherently, cybersecurity can be a barrier to
implementing IoT solutions at scale. After all, every connected device represents a potential risk and digital industrial assets are no different. Cybersecurity implications, such as identity fraud, information theft or even production sabotage, must be carefully considered and addressed at the product development phase. At ABB, for example, cybersecurity was a key
priority when starting our digital journey with our ABB Ability digital platform. That’s why we partner with companies like Microsoft who have invested a great deal in the security of their systems. We also add our own guidelines and test protocols as an additional layer to their rigorous security. This ensures industrial operators are more easily able to protect their digital assets and trust in the actionable insights they offer.

through to overseeing data procurement and analysis, there is a complex chain of process involved in digitalisation which typically requires a specialist skillset. To address this and bridge the
knowledge gap between operating technology and information technology, ABB provides a learning portal with a range of training material to upskill the workforce. As we look to the future of energy, there
More so, for added peace of mind we offer
customers starting out on their digital journey the option of using only local, on-site connectivity to begin with, before connecting to the cloud for more scalability whenever – and only if – they are ready.
Human intervention and interaction It may be all too easy to assume that digitalisation is just about computers and other technology. However, it still needs human intervention to succeed. From developing the strategic focus and setting realistic goals,
is no disputing the critical role that digitalisation will play. From helping industrial businesses ramp up the pace and scale of decarbonisation and informing energy strategies, through to changing behaviours and opening up a new energy-efficiency possibilities, the broader adoption of digitalisation will be
the key to making sustainability a reality. 1
