By the end of 2020, the proportion is expected to further increase to 60%, including digital products and solutions for buildings, infrastructure, clean energy, transportation systems and energy efficiency, with a potential market size of up to $5trillion
taking Vietnam as an example, Saigon water company (sawaco) in Ho Chi Minh City adopted ABB capability Symphony plus data acquisition and monitoring system (SCADA), which reduced the water leakage rate from 30% to 10%; Other regions have adopted the abb ability digital transmission device, using digital technology to improve plant operations; ABB robotics and factory automation solutions help improve efficiency, reduce waste and reduce energy consumption. The report also lists more cases
in addition, abb continues to fulfill its commitment to promoting sustainable development by sponsoring the all electric vehicle event ABB International Automobile Federation electric formula championship. The partnership between the two sides goes beyond the event itself and will accelerate the development and application of intelligent electric vehicle solutions to jointly create a more sustainable future
negative operation
as a supporter of the 2015 Paris Agreement and the scientific carbon reduction initiative (SBT), abb has always been committed to mitigating global warming and mitigating the devastating consequences of climate change. Last year, ABB's greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 41% compared with 2013, achieving the set goal of reducing emissions by 40% in 2020 ahead of schedule
The long-term vision of abb is to achieve complete carbon neutrality. Last year, abb opened its first carbon neutralization plant in ludenshayd, Germany, showing the prospect of achieving sustainable industrial development. The plant is equipped with solar power stations and is developing towards energy self-sufficiency with the application of digital technology. At the same time, the yield strength of plastic may be less than the ultimate strength, which shows the powerful advantages of an intelligent and digitally controlled industrial ecosystemin addition, the safety performance of ABB was further improved in 2019, and the industrial accident rate (trifr) decreased from 0.58 to 0.47 in the previous year, achieving the set goal of less than 0.7 in 2020 ahead of schedule. Regrettably, there was still an ABB employee and the joints of the oil pipes were tightened and sealed, and a contractor's personnel died in a work accident
