Smart Sensor for Motors




ABB Ability Smart Sensor for Motors

£ POA

Be one step ahead of your motors with true predictive insight the moment your motors start any abnormal performance, not when they fail after the fact. Costly production time wastage caused by stoppages from motors can be avoided with ABB Ability Smart Sensors on your motors providing live performance data direct to your computer or mobile device.

The ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor converts traditional motors into smart, wirelessly connected devices. It is attached to the frame of the motor; no wiring or machining is needed. Using algorithms, based on ABB’s decades of motor expertise, the ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor relays information about the motor's operation and health via a Bluetooth-gateway or smartphone to a secure server.

The ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor picks up data on vibration, temperature and other parameters that can be used to gain meaningful information on the condition and performance of the motor.

  • ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor for motors can help you to
  • Identify inefficiencies within the system
  • Uncover potential for energy savings
  • Reduce risks related to operation and maintenance
  • Prevent unexpected breakdowns
  • Extend equipment lifetime
  • Reduce maintenance costs (maintenance can be planned according to actual needs rather than based on generic schedules)
