As the global mining industry faces challenges such as rising costs, talent shortages, and sustainability issues, improving productivity and reducing downtime have become top priorities for mining companies. In response to this situation, ABB has recently launched new service products aimed at helping users achieve more efficient and sustainable operations by integrating its mining and technical expertise.

ABB Care Service Framework Aids Users in Transitioning Maintenance Modes

ABB has introduced a new service framework designed to assist users in shifting from traditional passive maintenance modes to more proactive preventive maintenance. This transition not only helps reduce downtime but also enhances the overall efficiency and lifespan of systems. Built around ABB's advanced services and digital technologies, the new service framework offers users multiple advantages, including performance optimization, availability enhancement, reduction in unplanned maintenance, and safety improvements.

ABB Care Mining Automation Service Plan, Tailor-Made Service Solutions

Based on the existing ABB Care service portfolio, ABB has introduced a mining automation service plan. This plan allows users to customize service projects according to their specific needs, covering various aspects such as alarm management, network security, lifecycle management, and loop performance. ABB delivered its first mining automation system in 1975 and, with 1,200 installed control systems and extensive partnerships with leading mining companies worldwide, provides optimized service solutions for users. Max Luedtke, Global Head of ABB's Process Industries Mining Business, said, "We understand that every mine is unique, which is the original intention behind our efforts to create the ABB Care Mining Automation Service Plan."

ABB Care Mine Hoist Service Plan, Enhancing Equipment Operational Reliability

Mine hoist systems are core equipment for many mining operations globally. To improve their operational reliability and productivity, ABB has launched a mine hoist service plan. This plan adopts a hierarchical approach to address challenges faced by the hoist system, from the powertrain to the brake control system. Each level of the plan includes standard services such as remote support, response time guarantees, annual inspections, and maintenance time databases. By adopting predictive maintenance methods, the ABB Care Mine Hoist Service Plan helps users meet ABB's maintenance standards and reduce availability losses of critical components.

According to recent research results by ABB on mine hoist maintenance standards, users adopting proactive maintenance strategies can increase the availability of hoists by an average of 15% compared to passive maintenance. This data further confirms the importance of preventive maintenance in the mining industry and provides strong support for the effectiveness of ABB Care service products.

With the launch of ABB's new service products, mining industry users will welcome more efficient, reliable, and sustainable operation and maintenance solutions. In the future, ABB will continue to drive the intelligent and digital transformation of the mining industry, helping users achieve higher production efficiency and economic benefits.
