ABB AbilityTM Energy and Asset Manager The new SaaS ABB AbilityTM Energy and Asset Manager provides application-specific asset and energy management. Users can view and analyze data on facility performance and manage assets to optimize energy consumption in real time and improve overall site efficiency. With instant access, anytime, anywhere the new


solution is suitable for small and midsize factories, shopping malls or data centers, and could save customers up to 30% on their energy bills and up to 40% on maintenance costs.


BB today announced an easy-to-use Software-as-a- Service (SaaS) solution for its global customer base that


Andrea Temporiti, Head of Digital at ABB


Electrification, said: “By providing real-time data and analytics across applications on a single interface, ABB AbilityTM Energy and Asset Manager will make it easier than ever for customers to make better decisions and reduce their operational costs, creating business value across their infrastructure.” The SaaS ABB AbilityTM Energy and Asset Manager


offers the same functionalities as the well-known ABB Ability™ EDCS and ABB Ability™ Asset Health for Electrical systems MyRemoteCare, but with simplified access to all functionalities through a single dashboard interface. The new SaaS offers flexibility for users to make online upgrades to the software and access other subscription- based services through the ABB Ability Marketplace™. Services can easily be added or removed at any time.


ABB Ltd u www.global.abb/ Sensirion and TTP Ventus collaborate on high-performance microfluidics driver


Ventus Ltd on the design of a compact high-performance microfluidics driver. The system has been created to support laboratory prototyping and product development for a wide range of microfluidics applications, from laboratory test systems, to diagnostics and analytical instruments. The companies have made the design available online for customers to recreate and adapt to their needs.


S The companies have integrated Sensirion’s next-generation SLF3x series liquid


flow sensor with TTP Ventus’ Disc Pump Evaluation Kit, taking advantage of the class-leading capabilities of each technology. The resulting stand-alone system provides a closed-loop, constant flow rate source for high-precision applications.


The system operates on a “pressure-driven flow” or “air over liquid”


principle, in which gas pressure generated by the pump is used to drive liquid flow through the microfluidic circuit. If cross-contamination between liquids must be avoided, Sensirion’s LD20 single-use sensor can be used instead of the SLF3x sensor series. This separation of the pump from the liquid supports the reusable-consumable model widely adopted in diagnostics and analytical instruments, with the pump located in a reusable part of the system and the liquid path and sensor in a consumable.


The micropump’s pulsation-free pressure generation delivers smooth


liquid flow with none of the oscillation often seen with conventional technologies, such as peristaltic pumps. This brings a number of benefits, including the ability to create laminar flow, reduction of measurement noise, and gentle handling of delicate materials. The pump also provides excellent pressure control which, together with the high-resolution capability of the sensor, results in unrivalled liquid flow control.


Both technologies offer a wide dynamic range, enabling flow control


over several orders of magnitude, from microliters per minute, to several milliliters per minute, providing full flexibility when designing flow control protocols. The closed-loop flow regulation enables the system to respond to full-scale set point changes in just a few seconds, enabling protocols to be sped up, and minimizing wastage of precious or expensive materials.
