    Beyond Boundaries: Aspect-Driven Approach for Total Plant Efficiency

Plants and process control environments today feature a number of systems to ensure smooth and efficient operation. What if all the information within these disparate systems were integrated into a single holistic system regardless of their source? This is what ABB Ability System 800xA enables.

Organizing Information Beyond Files and Folders

Core to System 800xA is ABB’s Aspect Object Technology. This technology organizes information, not into files and folders, but into aspects of objects.

An object can be a physical object, like a valve, a complex entity, like a reactor, or an immaterial object, like a manufacturing order or production batch. All these objects have different information tied to them. These are known as aspects of the object.

One Click, Endless Insights: Streamlining User Experience

By bringing multiple libraries of object types and their aspects into one collaborative environment, users simply right-click an object to reveal information relevant to them.

The Aspect Object Technology within System 800xA enables enhanced collaboration and decision making, increased efficiencies, ease of scalability, and is therefore inherently more secure.
