ABB Smart Building Customer Experience Center Upgrade Appears, Joining Hands with Customers and Partners on a High Quality Development Path

On May 17, 2023, Beijing ABB Low Voltage Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. welcomed a new milestone – the automatic intelligent flexible production line for miniature circuit breakers was officially put into use. With the production line officially put into operation, the company’s miniature circuit breaker manufacturing center was also completed. On the same day, the upgraded ABB Smart Building Customer Experience Center officially opened, providing interactive space for customers to deeply experience ABB’s “zero emission vision” and digital solutions for smart buildings.

Zhao Yongzhan, President of ABB Electric China, Zou Enchang, Head of ABB Smart Building Asia Pacific, Aldo Sciacca, Head of ABB Smart Building Global Terminal Distribution Product Group, Han Lu, Head of ABB Smart Building Global Building and Home Automation Solution Product Group, Yang Rong, Vice President of ABB Electric China, and dozens of customer and partner representatives attended the event.

Beijing ABB Low Voltage Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd., as a representative of the intelligent factory in Beijing and the high-end manufacturing industry in China and even globally, has always regarded the development of intelligent manufacturing as one of the company’s vision. Based on the successful experience of existing automated production lines, combined with the market’s demand for product diversification, timely delivery, and quality reliability, the company is brave in technological innovation and applies more automation, digitization, and intelligent manufacturing technologies to production lines, ushering in a new era of industrial 5.0 manufacturing.

The new production line has better production flexibility: it can produce the entire series of miniature circuit breaker S200 products. At the same time, visual recognition and flexible feeding technology are widely used in the production process, reducing the product change time to less than 5 minutes; The application of flexible transmission system solutions in the laser printing process enhances the OEE of the process and maximizes the process capability; 20% capacity expansion space for the entire line, providing more flexibility for future capacity improvement.

This production line has better production efficiency and quality stability: 7 ABB robots and 16 customized automated assembly and testing equipment greatly improve the efficiency of the production line. AI technology is applied to the positioning and recognition of the loading and unloading of turnover boxes and printing inspection, effectively improving the stability and reliability of the manufacturing process; Deploy the latest version of ABB MES system throughout the entire line to achieve comprehensive management of the manufacturing process.

Regarding the completion of this new production line, ABB Smart Building Global President Mu Sitai stated that China is the second largest market for ABB Group globally and a key market for its smart building business. China’s open attitude and execution speed towards emerging technologies provide broad space for enterprise growth. We continue to invest in China and are committed to working closely with our partners to ensure that our innovative products and technologies not only serve the local market, but also a wider range of markets, creating safer, smarter, and more sustainable buildings for the future.

With the formal production of this flexible production line, automated production lines with different design concepts and production modes can provide different production plan combinations for large batch products or multi variety and small batch products, greatly improving response and delivery capabilities, and shortening order delivery cycles. The application of more automation, digitization, and intelligent manufacturing technologies has significantly improved production efficiency and reduced manufacturing costs while ensuring stable quality in the product manufacturing process.

On the same day, the ABB Smart Building Digital Technology Customer Experience Center was officially unveiled after the upgrade. As a centralized display of ABB Ability ™ A platform for digital concepts and technologies, with the newly upgraded exhibition hall adopting ABB i-bus ® The KNX intelligent building control system integrates recent technological applications such as visual intercom, CCTV, facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, proximity sensing, and voice control, presenting the application of ABB low-voltage intelligent power distribution, building automation technology and solutions in civil buildings, industry, new energy, data centers, municipal infrastructure, and other scenarios through physical display, simulation interaction, multimedia demonstrations, and other forms, Let the audience feel ABB’s ability in the integration of strong and weak electricity and industrial digitization, reflecting ABB’s active participation and practice in China’s digital and low-carbon dual transformation.

Beijing ABB Low Voltage Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of ABB Electric Smart Building Business Unit, established in November 1994. It is one of ABB’s global manufacturing and research and development bases for low-voltage and smart building products, mainly producing terminal distribution protection products, building electrical accessory products, and building automation systems. After 28 years of deep cultivation and development, we have gradually achieved the development from manual manufacturing to semi-automatic manufacturing, and now to highly automated intelligent manufacturing. Our products have been widely used in over 3000 key projects such as the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, the Beijing Shanghai High Speed Railway, the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, large-scale sports venues, the Tongzhou Sub Center in Beijing, and the Xiong’an New Area.

ABB Low Voltage in Beijing has taken the lead in Digital transformation and intelligent factory construction, while adhering to the mission of sustainable development and integrating the concept of green, low-carbon and self recycling into global operations and the entire value chain. The company has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 920 tons since its renovation in March 2021 by establishing an energy management system, installing rooftop photovoltaic systems and park charging stations, applying the ABB Ability EAM energy efficiency and asset health management cloud platform, and implementing environmental improvement projects such as water, electricity, and material conservation.

At present, ABB Low Voltage Apparatus Co., Ltd. in Beijing has won ISO50001 certification, Beijing Intelligent Manufacturing Benchmark Enterprise, and the title of “National Green Factory” of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. In 2021, it successively won the title of “National Green Supply Chain Enterprise”, “Clean Production Enterprise”, and in the same year, it won the “carbon neutrality Certificate” issued by Shanghai Environmental Energy Exchange. In 2022, it was selected into the list of Beijing Intelligent Factories.
