INTRODUCTION
ABB is a global leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry
customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. ABB has approximately
152,000 employees in more than 100 countries. It is constantly developing new automation
technology solutions to help its customers to optimize their productivity. These solutions include
simulation, control and optimization strategies, the interaction between people and machines,
embedded software, mechatronics, monitoring, and diagnosis. The intent is to develop a common
industrial IT architecture for real-time solutions across the business enterprise.
THE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM SOLUTION ABB has expertise in developing such systems, and it
developed one for its own use in a textile division. ABB Automation's decision support system
captures and manages information from ABB's Range MES package for managers to use in their
analysis and decision-making. The primary purpose of the DSS is to provide managers with
technology and tools for data warehousing, data mining, and decision support, ideally leading to
better and faster decision-making. The system provides
• Storage of production data from a distributed control system (DCS) in a data warehouse • Data
capture without burdening the control system hardware • Site-wide access to data for decision
support through data visualization tools (a Web-based interface) that are easily used by nontechnical
site staff • Pre-configured windows to the data (for structured queries) • Capability to access data for
ad hoc reports and data analysis • Access to real-time operating data (for analysis).
