ABB Process Automation is a global leader in delivering integrated solutions for process and hybrid industries, offering a powerful combination of automation, electrification, and digitalization technologies. Process Automation focuses exclusively on enabling complex industrial operations to achieve higher efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

This division offers an extensive portfolio that includes industry-leading distributed control systems (DCS) like ABB 800xA, Freelance, and Compact Control Builder. These scalable, flexible platforms are used in a wide range of industries, from oil and gas, pulp and paper, and pharmaceuticals to food and beverage, water treatment, chemicals, metals, mining, and marine. For example, breweries leveraging the Freelance DCS platform have reported productivity gains of over 40% without the need for major hardware upgrades—simply by improving process visibility, recipe control, and batch traceability. Similarly, large-scale marine vessels are using ABB 800xA to orchestrate entire ship operations, from propulsion and power generation to HVAC and wastewater management, all from a unified control interface.

Beyond automation platforms, ABB Process Automation provides industry-specific solutions that cover everything from batch control in breweries to load management in utility-scale power generation. Their offerings extend to advanced measurement and analytics, energy management, asset optimization, and digital twin technology, helping facilities achieve regulatory compliance and production excellence. In the power sector, 800xA is widely deployed in combined cycle power plants to synchronize complex turbine, boiler, and emissions systems—dramatically reducing downtime and boosting output quality.
