How does ABB leverage the Elasia event to enhance customer understanding and engagement with its latest global technologies?

ABB is using Elasia’s opportunity to showcase our latest global technologies. The large customer footfall that Elasia garners at the event will enable customers to physically view and feel the products on display and also get answers to any of their technical queries. This will help them gain a good understanding of the company and its product offerings. It also allows them to experience the products’ unique features in real time through exciting product demonstrations. 

Moreover, customers can walk through the products and get a proper touch and feel, which helps them visualise their usage in their own projects. Numerous users, including experienced and freshers, attend the event, which enhances the visibility of the new and developing technologies in electrification.            

How does your product lineup support sustainability objectives, and are there any forthcoming product launches?

ABB has a proud history of technological innovation. We have not only pioneered but also invented several automated technologies, which have enabled us to maintain our market leadership. Sustainability is one of our top priorities, as it is already playing a pivotal role in the industry’s overall development and helping to align it to the future of circularity. 

All our manufacturing locations are well aligned on sustainability goals. Most are water-positive, follow zero waste to landfill, incorporate renewable energy, and have office buildings that are high in energy efficiency. Apart from the existing product display, we will unveil new versions of our product line now. We will continue to showcase the latest in technology, and there are a slew of new launches planned during Elasia, which customers will find exciting and useful.

What are your insights into the escalating significance of digital solutions in electrical infrastructure?

Digital solutions allow us to monitor and optimise site equipment anytime, anywhere, via an intuitive graphic interface, resulting in greater reliability and availability. These solutions are increasingly vital in modern electrical systems because they enhance efficiency, monitoring, and control. They enable real-time data analysis, predictive maintenance, and integration of renewable energy sources, ultimately optimising operations and sustainable and reliable power distribution. 

Additionally, they facilitate remote management and smart grid implementation, including incorporating IoT technologies into a more intelligent and responsive electrical infrastructure. Newer solutions like ABB Ability™ Asset Manager, with its simplicity and flexibility in asset-performance management, provide customers with a strong, convenient and friendly interface. 

What are your projections for the Indian power and electrical sector?

The power sector is the backbone of our modern lifestyle, ensuring seamless delivery of electricity to our homes, businesses and communities. Through targeted investments in infrastructure and electrification projects, the reach of electricity has significantly expanded over the years. This efficient distribution of electricity and maintaining the power grid’s reliability amidst growing demand. India’s power sector has witnessed remarkable progress in the past 20 years and is poised to grow even faster. 

Electrification will continue to play a major role in energy transition with the advent of renewable energy, battery storage systems, and new technologies like green hydrogen knocking on the door. Power penetration in India is expected to see a dramatic increase as the economy develops. Segments like data centres and buildings are large consumers of power/electrification, and this demand is expected to grow exponentially. We at ABB are well placed to provide customers with the latest electrification technology, most of which will be on display at Elasia.
